    I would be interested in a 15-year trend between the schools of new freshman on-campus enrollment, by high school, by major (particularly overlapping programs). I don't have the ratios, but I would hope the trend would be stable. I don't think it is. I think UND has lost share. This is based on conversations and intuition, as I don't have have access to the data and don't know anyone who does. And if lost share is true, is it attributable to marketing, the appeal of their respective locations, efficient use of social media? Who knows?

    What is this supposed "academic quality initiative"? https://www.ndsu.edu/admission/admission_information/requirements/ http://und.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/ What am I missing?

    Relax Francis. It's the data point I had.

    It's only one data point, but Totino-Grace Class of 2017 sent about 30 kids to NDSU, 5 to UND. Not an underperforming school by any measure. This is out of a class of about 200. Maybe they were all football fans?

    I miss the old Western Wrestling Conference and their weekly show on Fox Sports FS9 the "Nueve".

    I think a technical school is also a form of education. A 4-year bachelors isn't the right answer for everyone, despite this idea being shoved down kids throats for two decades now. We are in desperate need of good people in the trades.

    It is reasonable to think that UND might still have the largest contingent of fans in Sioux Falls? It seems like that's the state of fandom in college hockey.

    With two St. Cloud wins, Motzko punches his ticket to St. Paul in April and Minneapolis in May.

    It was a general comment, although with flight costs it’s probably in the ball park. UND is still a great value.

    Being saddled with $75k - $100k of debt tends to put a damper on things like marriage, home ownership, tickets to sporting events, etc.

    No way this happens, unless it's UND-Fargo satellite campus. I'll take that bet.
  13. Shawn-O
    Some fair points here. Personally I'm basing my remark on general visibility via billboards, electronic media, etc. There are some inherent advantages that Fargo has in terms of proximity and size. I don't have the data in front of me but my gut says that we've lost a lot of Minnesota kids in the last 15-20 years where there are duplicate programs, business and nursing to name two.

    Speaking from a Twin Cites point of view they’ve kicked our ass on marketing now for a good decade and a half.

    Caesar's and Westgate are the two best sports books hands down IMO.

    Draft that Notre Dame kid to protect the blind side, move Remmers to guard, and boom! Cousins takes all the meaningful snaps next year!

    Have the #1’s host the regionals on campus! Other than the UND hosted West Regional these things are ghost towns! Hell the basketball sub-regions can’t even draw flies on the opening weekend anymore.

    In other NFC North news, Jordy Nelson has been released and Jimmy Graham signed by GB.

    Basically the next two or three years for Zimmer and Spielman is win a Super Bowl or you're fired.
  21. Shawn-O
    That's a really good question. I'll say Sloter or EJ Manuel.

    North of $30M annually, which Rodgers is likely to get this fall.
  23. Shawn-O
    As will Stafford and Garoppolo. It's the economic reality, which is ridiculous but a that's whole other discussion.

    I know you get into your contrarian moods for giggles, but I'll bite. Talent-wise, no comparison. Bridgewater was never a shoo-in MVP at any point of any season. Second, we are talking arthroscopy versus vascular surgery to save a limb.

    Drew Bledsoe, Trent Green, Alex Smith during his 49ers time, Brad Johnson in '98 for the Vikings, the list is endless.
