Someone thinks we have a loaded class, guess he doesn't stop here to get the geniuses perspective.

It works for the hockey time.

God yes, I would not survive here without it. In the upper right corner, I clicked on my name/Ignored Users/then type in the names you want to ignore. Sometimes they respond to themselves and it's a long list of them on a thread.

Sure, and he's hoping to get a scholly for grad school I am sure.

Wondering what his academic transcript looks like.

There were plenty of times Tommy had to dance around to avoid the rush, plus they rolled him out to avoid it. Can't even count the number of bad snaps he saved.

How did UND get this agreement and not SU with the Grant Nelson connection? Are a few heads exploding on Bison-swille?

Meanwhile other schools are shutting down and tearing down dorms because students want nicer digs or independent living. No doubt the new dorms with all the bells and whistles are drawing students back to campus. Nice problem to have.

I expect reports of massive hoards of people rushing the boarder, promises of a middle class tax cut, threats that the stock market will crash.

As we know they are only as good as the OL in front of them. Injuries always an issue for us also - perhaps the new strength and conditioning coach will help.

I hold my breath every time there is an update alert on this thread.

Wow - seeing the new assistant coach they hired one wonders what the quality of candidates were? Willing to give her a chance but ...so many questions. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2024/5/22/womens-basketball-north-dakota-adds-gayner-as-womens-basketball-assistant-coach.aspx

Sad to point out that St. Thomas has already passed UND in MBB and WBB how long until they do the same in hockey? They've got the money.

We did beat YSU on the road last time we played

As we know the distance between 1-4 and the rest of the field is large. If D improves, I think our O will be fine. Some nice pedigrees on O.

Based on how the same two teams win it all every year, right now we are in the range of #15. Not satisfied, just saying. I am fine with not being in pre season polls, we seldom are.

Finishing #3 or #4 in the toughest conference in FCS? More like East Coast Bias when you look at the schools ranked most would not be #3 in MVFC.

Based on a comment or two it appears that some in the Big Sky would like to show UNC the door (like they felt about UND).

I realize you are being sarcastic as he is moving up two levels to a scholarship.

I think hiking the tailgate prices will have as negative domino affect. We have had three spots for 15 plus years. Yes, we do not tailgate in our spaces because we are part of a large group. As UND wishes we are giving up those spots and will just pay for parking. So now it is easy to decide not to go (no season long investment). After some discussion we also decided to forgo season tickets and go game by game. Now it is easy to decide to skip the 4 hour drive, stay home and watch the game on TV.

JMO because of the portal we see: A small town North Dakota kid trade what would have been a legacy career of being a four starter at his Flagship University in his home state. Like Kleinsasser, a lifetime example of state pride for his hometown. Instead that legacy is lost and he will be a footnote at an out of state school. I understand that money was probably involved. That money will be gone in a few years. I understand he has the chance at hitchhiking onto a national championship, tough to argue that. However, it is proven that if you have talent for the next level they will find you. Yes, they make their choice and do what they think is best for themselves at the time. No ill will here. There are few opportunities to become legends in your home state. Those that are, are legends because they stayed.

Local political ads.

Just passed through the state, what I heard on the radio was far from courteous and cordial.

I realize this is just a one-off comment, but this assumes that Bubba has tailgating police reporting to him because he certainly is never in the tailgating area. Also pretty sure they won Tailgater of the Game at least once. Third I frequented there and never saw anything close to being " partying too hard", often saw UND staff and player's parents stopping by.

Different time, different priorities. Why does a player goes through spring ball (obviously knows he's going into the portal) and waste his time and his coaches. Walks away from his team. Okay it's about the $$$, different time, different priorities. UND took a chance on him and he walks away.
