Not reading anyone is "upset". Fan boards are for discussions. That's all. How hard would it have been for UND to post a short survey on their website or X where anyone could share thoughts? This topic has run its course. We shall see if anything tangible comes out of this myopic study.

All good - did anyone bring up: - by only inviting those on the current active list they are missing those who quit tailgating and why they quit - they could have been reached by posting something on social media or sharing a survey to everyone on social media. - Just because a car is parked does not mean it is not being used to tailgate, many tailgate sites have numerous people active why should they not be allowed to park near their group site? - People driving their car through a the crowd less than two hours from the game is just a matter of communicating that this rule will be enforced. The first time they have to turn around and go pay $15 for a parking spot they will understand. - Like the energy the students bring, but there must be a way to prevent the mountain of trash they leave (ask student leaders to step up) - tailgaters who pay for their spots leave their site as clean as they found it (by the way I often bring food to them so I'm not anti-student). - There is no good reason why tailgaters shouldn't be allowed a Happy Hour after the game - have never seen any other school not have it. - Why do we have to get a summary from you and not UND?

I sometimes think when a recruit includes "received a full scholarship offer" in their announcement its because they are letting other teams know where the bar is.

If you look at the picture they posted there were plenty of empty seats in that room.

Yah it's a travesty to want to participate and help improve the experience.

Tailgater for 20+ years but my name is not on the spaces. Perhaps they could have reached out on social media? I have opinions.

I saw nothing about this. Assuming the only way they could contact people is through those who are registered for a site?

I agree, with all due respect to Bubba, in my mind I like having Schmidt sitting in their living room.

Had the same problem in football, every year there was one game that saved him - until it didn't happen. Individual talent seems to be our problem year after year.

One of the problems with hiring a legacy as your coach is it is hard to move on when the time comes.

Meet up in St Cloud? MCd Dugout? Get your green on.

IS has a UND connection in their sports dept. Met him at the football there last year. They have super low support for football right now.

I believe hockey finances had an affect at that time. It is not as simple a decision back then as some are making it now

Gotta agree. SJU makes a living picking up drop downs. School is struggling with student attendance but money for football is there.

St John's can be more attractive than NSIC especially if you consider students at that level are playing for enjoyment and a free education. Yes, they don't offer athletic scholarships, but surprising how many of their top athletes quality for academic scholarships. SJU is top 10 NAIA every year.

I believe he just started his new position this week, or very recently. What's your concern?

How does a school balance "competition is open" with this?

Please site your sources. No need to throw the former coaches under a bus with conjecture.

Omaha was in the basement a few years ago. It's coaching.

Could UND be reaching out to Walters or are there restrictions on contacting athletes?

They said their goal is that every player would get something. Of course some will get more than others. Some players will have specific items at the Sioux Shop (and possibly elsewhere) where they get a direct cut from the sales as part of their NIL.

This should be prime time for trolling your real rival don't you think?

Not interested, moving ahead with the guys that chose to stay. He could have been a four-year starter ND legacy, now he's just a footnote in South Dakota.

Since we all know it starts in the trenches the expectation might be that it will take more than six months. Although we do have them in Grand Forks next year so optimism is allowed.
