Prior Lake was somewhat of a surreal experience for me. When I looked at the name tags on the table it was like a hall of fame - I would estimate about 150 former players and coaches attended. I was with the team in 77-79 and there were plenty of them there. That was Murphy's years and I believe it was 79 they went 10-0.

I did too - he seems very satisfied with our backfield.

As has been suggested UND should be combing the US looking for student athletes that have an interest in aviation, business, PT, medical fields. And maybe they are because if I can think of that I believe they already have.

I'm not a high roller and I don't play golf, but I'm going to the social Sunday at Prior Lake. I have no doubt it will be a great event, I will feel welcomed and come home feeling confident about what's happening at UND.

Loved how insightful he was as a color guy on the radio. It was like he was coaching over the air waves.

That's why I prefer science.

Facts that contradict fallacies are so hard for some.

Just wait until ND lawmakers figure out how much money they are losing as their citizens cross the border for cannibas.

I believe this is a trend at just about every football school in the country with a few exceptions.

Big step - they are ripping the band aid off. I have no issue with this as the students on campus now have only known the Fighting Hawk as their official nickname and all teams have embraced it except for hockey.

But they "bring so much to the conversations".

In my experience Tim Belmore is very approachable.

A successful business owner in the town near me gave six figures to Team Makers to finish their football practice facility. He did not play for them, just went there. The money flows to UND just not to football.

We blocked a punt for a td and the win in Youngstown. They definitely got screwed out of the playoffs. They would have beat Montana.

Suggestion - mark your calendar and get to the Summit Basketball tournament, it's a great place to meet up with other fans and connect with player's families. Lots of great games and UND hosts a very nice social room before every game. Anyone who was there would have realized that this was true - all the hand wringing posts about players leaving have no purpose.

Individuals can host a Watch Party and register it through UND Alumni Association. UND will send an email out to all Alums in a 100 miles radius (not totally sure of mileage radius), they will also send a box of UND table decorations and trinkets for door prizes.

The bar can never get lower.

I think we will see plenty of Ziebarth this year. We need depth and to keep our backs fresh.

Preface - we can/will get better and continue to move up but sometimes comparison robs us of what we have. We quickly became a top tier team in the MVFC, yes it sucks that the two best teams in the country are in front of us, but we are moving in the right direction - not fast enough for some granted. We are #26 out of 130 teams in home attendance. I have gone on several football road trips and our tailgating compares just fine and is better than many. In all of these situations we can get better but it's not like we are bottom dwellers.

Women have talent moving up from the bench.

Those guys are the ones that the portal is made for. Did not see the field last year, probably had his meeting with coach and mutually agreed he should look for something that is a better fit.

Did they learn nothing from the Missouri State debacle?

Based on last year, you could make that 99%. FCS Nation justified keeping UND out of the top 20 at the end of last year because they did not beat SDSU or ndsu - my response was no one else did either.

No blue sky thoughts here until I hear from the real talent evaluation experts on this site.

Chavez said most charitable gaming in the area is already locked down.
