Gutzmer would be a great get, but will be tough to land. Has Miami Florida offer.

Will do my best. I’ll have a great view from score table but my evaluation skills not always 100% correct. 😀

Get so see Jayden Moore of Hopkins up close tonight. Will be fun to watch.

Bobby Hauck is new DC at Illinois. Pretty short retirement.

The USA-Italy mixed doubles curling match today was great sports viewing. We beat the defending Olympic champs in a back and forth match that came down to the last shot which we made. The vision/creativity and shot making is off the charts.

what is the estimated yearly cost increase beyond the approx $15M up front? In December Hero sports provided details on MWC spending vs. NDSU currently. Eye opening if true. Somebody's gonna have to write a big check each year. Football Expenses - MWC Average (Mean): $18,988,564 Leader: Colorado State University, $31,356,224 Lowest: University of Nevada (Reno), $13,562,661 North Dakota State: $6,527,171

My prediction - UND will get $$ from REA/Engelstad foundation (not exactly sure how that works) for the improvements at the Betty. Tied to that will be a delay in the transfer of control of REA to UND for some number of years beyond the scheduled 2030 date.

Per Herald article: UND set record in 2025 with $119.5 million in gifts to UND. Previous record for 12 months was was $100.5 million announced in August 2024. A little strange in that they changed from FY to CY recently but both are for 12 month periods. Record endowment now at $510.7 million. Forever UND campaign upped goal of $500 million to $625 million after met the $500 million goal 20 months early. I wish we had been able to keep the Sioux nickname but it doesn't look like the change has exactly crippled fundraising. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/drop-the-confetti-und-alumni-association-and-foundation-announces-new-fundraising-record?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar

Followed online. Stressful til end not knowing exactly what was happening.

And you obviously aren’t earning on the money you withdrew. I had coworkers actually benefit from that as the market dropped during that time but that money was taken out. They did earn whatever interest rate they were paying themselves.

I believe most 401ks already allow you to borrow against them for things like house down payments. Then you pay yourself back over time. I know mine does. Not exactly the same but works.

DT signing I hadn't seen before https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/eastern-illinois-tackle-adds-size-to-unds-defensive-front?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar

I am a little confused by this thread. We are currently 4-2 in the conference and showing some signs of life even in the games we've lost. I know this is what message boards are for but there's at least a little hope that's been missing for a long time.

Still haven't seen anything on Fleming.
