This made me wonder if an outside hire is made, and he brings in an all new staff......is UND on the hook for any buyout $$S on current assistants or do they simply lose their jobs without compensation?

Speaking of Luepke, a Bison fan told me to expect a big dose of Cole Payton tomorrow. He said the talk in Bison world is that he is their best runner, and they believe they have purposely held back on his touches until the meat of the conference schedule, keeping their backup QB healthy. I think if we limit big plays in their run game from Miller and Payton, we'll be fine.

The tailgate passes already state "all tailgaters must be moved into assigned space(s) 2 hours prior to kickoff." Just enforce that and problem solved.

Well that's it then. Sounds like they did a scientific analysis in great detail. Not. BTW, what's wrong with someone buying an "available" spot in the tailgate area for whatever reason? Including price, distance to walk, or just wanting to walk thru the area? Spots become available every year in the tailgate area.

If they actually said that it shows how out of touch they are. Groups that tailgate together buy multiple sites for tents, trailers, buses, etc. There might be 5 or 10 or more people\families affiliated with one tailgate setup. If they put up a tent, or haul a trailer, they obviously need a spot to park the vehicle that hauled those things. If you have 10 or more people bringing food, beverages, games, chairs, flags, etc. to tailgate as part of that group, they obviously want - and have historically paid for nearby separate sites to park their vehicles close to their particular tailgate setup. Yes, the many parked cars could appear to be "non tailgaters" but if they are parked many hours before game time, they are likely part of a tailgate group. Plus, why should UND or the Alerus care about your intentions for purchasing a spot? Shouldn't that be the goal? A full lot of paid for spots? Their logic is baffling. I think its going to have the opposite effect and make some think twice about purchasing spots, and possibly game tickets.

Logged into my account. Looks like tailgate spots are going from $55 each to $100!

Didn't see E Brooks in warmups or on the bench now?

Are you basing this on your personal experience as a college football player? Or is it based more on your varied experience as a college football coach? Or, both?

I don't think the first, or even second option on those pass plays is the 3 yard pass. Those plays are not always designed to throw for 3 and hope the receiver can get the rest. If the other primary routes are not open or safe, Tommy is taught to not force it. Cautious, or maybe overly-cautious, I'm not sure.

Pretty good start to the tailgate, 86° right now.

Longtime Fergus Falls dealership Nelson Auto is moving into the Grand Forks market. According to a release, the Nelson family has purchased Lithia Ford and Lithia Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram dealerships in Grand Forks. Located in North Dakota's Red River Valley, Lithia has been serving drivers in Grand Forks and surrounding areas since 2006. “We look forward to being part of the Grand Forks community,” said Adam Nelson, “and my wife Oriana and our sons, Benjamin and Anders are happy to call Grand Forks our new home!” In addition to Nelson Auto Center in Fergus Falls, the Nelson family owns three dealerships in western North Dakota, known as Red Rock Ford and Red Rock Auto in Williston, Dickinson and Watford City. Close The acquisition will add to already existing dealerships the family already owns and operates in North Dakota. “We were raised in Western Minnesota, but have grown deep roots in North Dakota over the past 12 years,” said Alex Nelson, “and both our parents are UND alumni. Our family looks forward to adding two more dealerships to our North Dakota family of stores.” They are planning to significantly grow the size and services of the dealerships in North Dakota and will immediately focus on the service departments, adding technicians and customer support staff and remain committed to offering the most competitive offers on new and used vehicles in the region. Over time, the Nelsons say they will also focus on building out the dealership's offerings to small and medium businesses including commercial-focused sales and service staff and mobile service. “Our family has been in the car business since 1992,” said Adam, “and we’re excited to bring our local ownership to the Grand Forks community.”

I was told today that Riverside Christian School is not going to complete the purchase of a portion of the mall. Apparently the mall and the city required too many hoops to jump through and now they are looking at other alternatives.
