Probably need to revise this essay before posting it on Utah's site. Perhaps you should just have UW mail the game check to UND and call it good. Although it seems UW overlooked Auburn in preparation for UND. Also might want to do a better job of researching a team before you post on their fan site. Enjoy your season and thanks for the visit.
Not meant as a diss - there have been some very good teams, this year not one of them. Still very entertaining - love their passion for the game (a great reflection on the staff).
I was at game this morning and also caught the last set of EW vs Louisiana Tech (I think EW won). Seemed to be the typical "invite teams that ensure you win your own tournament". UND was stronger and dominant - although they have a very tough non-conference schedule so it's probably nice to get a break at home. Looking at past history of this tournament there have been years they brought in some strong teams, if I remember right UND has won the tournament about 5 out of 7 times.
Student section full but seems they don't know how or when to make noise. Third and long and geezers are up and cheering, entire student section sitting.
To me it is a poor reflection on the Athletic Department looking out for football student athletes, B S needed us as much as we needed them, no all conference possibility for our juniors and seniors.
Was it ever explained why UND had to agree to spend 2 years in conference pergatory. Wasn't it possible to switch conferences without having to be an independent and give up all the award possibilies for players?
Probably because they are a private school so they would not need permission to move up from the state, just private donations. Same reason St. Thomas in Minneapolis comes up a lot. No way St. Cloud is a candidate they are struggling with attendance and funding.
The clueless continue to suggest that football be cut, but it is s required sport in most conferences so dropping it would put all women's sports without a conference, but they seem to be stuck in anger mode.
It is a loophole that is now being abused. Having to get 19 credits in a summer session to transfer out is not what the NCAA intended. But we want players who want to be here and graduate from here.
Probably means attendance for the year will be down (because two of the largest crowd drawing games are now on the same day), so next year some can say that fans are bailing.
Very disappointing, I support all of our student athletes with my time and money. They need to make life choices but to me this is a reflection on his charactor. Definitely not in same league as Q.
