Siouxperman8

Anybody know his history in MN? Now living in Kearney MO, outside KC.

You are still missing the point. The question is why do some people feel the need to tell us they only like hockey and it hardly happens in the other direction? It comes across as petty and weird. Glad to have your permission to join approximately 3-4 million others tonight. Thanks

I'm happy for you. It doesn't bother me that you and others don't care for it. My post was clear on that. It's the need to tell everyone about it and trash the NBA that I don't understand. I don't ever think I've seen anyone go on an NHL or college hockey thread on here and post that they don't like those games. Is just weird to me that anyone feels the need to do that.

I don't think they really miss you. NBA averages 3-5 times the NHL viewership. I don't understand the need for a number of hockey fans to trash basketball. I have lived my entire life in MN and ND and don't remember it going the other way very often, mainly hockey fans running down basketball. It's an old argument on here but I know a lot of hockey-only fans that wouldn't consider attending another sport at UND. To each his own, but I don't understand the need to trash other sports.

Agree this could be a reasonable role for him. I don't understand others that are trashing him on here. Criticizing the decision the coaches made to start him and then not giving Jerry playing time during the year is fair. But Simon didn't make himself the starter and I'm sure busted his a$$ all year and gave all he had.

Love reading your stuff. Keep up the good work.

Loved his comment on how the 'Sack City' sign will be busy with the Edge recruit. I'll have to get my printer fired up again and stock up on numbers.

So UND is taking $25k without the money flowing through the foundation? Just because their name is associated with the NIL money raised?

I am not sure if this is apples to apples as I don't fully understand how UND and 1883 collective are tied together but ..... a number of years ago I was involved in raising some money for the UND engineering department. We were told at that time that UND took 10% off the top of all donations that went through the UND foundation. Donations that went straight to the engineering department avoided that.

Will be interesting to see how many sign on. Levels of giving - $50/month (new grad) , $125/month (1st team), $200/month (Natty).

Gave up 5-2 lead in 7th. Ouch

Assuming in Twin Cities now. Saw him interviewed on TV in a bar after Wolves playoff game last year.

Hell - I have ill will toward anybody that plays for NDSU, regardless of where they came from. It's how rivalries work. It's not new. I got booed when I came out for warmups at NDSU well over an hour before the game back 40+ years ago. The students got there early to get better seats. Small number of people in the stands and they booed us all. I didn't take offense and appreciated that they cared enough boo me.

Why did you wait until your family member was done at UND to start posting here? You should look into posting on Bisonville and completely move on over.

I don't know anything about her but only what I was told. You appear to know more than you are willing to say so far. How about you tell us what you know and provide your sources and we go from there? The fact that she is willing to go to play for her team's arch rival is a pretty good hint that she was never bought into her team last year.

I'm sure you would love to know but I'm not in position to reveal that. Anyone that's ever played team sports had a teammate like that at some point. Not that hard to believe.

Every SU player has been booed in GF and the same for UND players in Fargo. It would happen even without her history.

It’s been said on here before but heard from good source that referred to her as a ‘team wrecker’.

You wouldn’t go CFL either and give up $34M for first 4 years and $2M for 2025. Why would anyone do that?

Canada to US crossings at Pembina down 39.95% in March YOY from 2024 to 2025. FM and GF Visitors bureaus are worried about the impact. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/north-dakota/decline-in-canadian-traffic-prompts-concern-at-visitors-bureaus-in-grand-forks-fargo

I was a young teenager when Bob played at UND. I had a cousin on the UND team and he introduced me to Bob at the 'meet the Sioux' event one year. Bob couldn't have been nicer to me and my friends.

I'm fine with kids getting paid but still think the system is broken. The NCAA men's bb had all No. 1 seeds make the final 4 for the second time ever. 15 of final 16 teams were seeded 6th or higher. Any smaller teams that have a good year have their kids gone by the next year. Some HS seniors are taking it in the shorts as a lot of coaches are only interested in transfer kids. I talked to a D1 volleyball commit last week who had her scholarship pulled because the Atlantic 10 school decided to go with all transfer kids. My opinion - if it is going to be pay for play, needs to be some hooks like pro sports with contracts that include the number of years. Has to go both ways as schools/collectives and players make that commitment. The Siouxperman8 very preliminary clause - Let's say you sign with UND for $100k/year for 2 years and decide to leave after 1 year for more $$, you have a buyout clause that pays back some portion of the first $100k to the collective. The new school collective can pay that for you if they want you bad enough.

As soon as I hit submit I figured out $$$$$ was probably the answer. Those are big numbers. The system is broken for sure. Don't know the answer but I think at some point there have to be 2 year contracts or something for players collecting NIL money.

Any rumors as to why?
