    With a true quarterback coach on staff, he'll improve

    Hopefully Danny’s that guy.  From the way back machine I heard from former QB family that the QBs back then weren’t impressed with his qb coaching ability.  A lot of time has passed since then and I’m sure he’s learned a lot.

    I have read that a couple times as well.  Not knowing the Russia game was the semifinals is ignorant and lazy in the context of today. But you know this is what the MSM does...right? 

    It actually was a weird round robin tournament with no bracket play so no semifinals. 

    Top 2 from each of 2 pools made the final 4 pool play.  The results from prelim pool counted so each team played the 2 from the other pool that qualified.  US tied Sweden in first pool play and beat Soviet Union and Finland in final pool.  The US had the best record so won the gold.   If we'd lost to Finland we'd have finished with 3 points so Soviets would have won the gold.

    Yeah, Sanderson should have eaten that. Was hoping that wouldn’t come back to bite them, and lo and behold it did.

    Didn’t realize it was him. Was hoping it wasn’t.

    4-3 US

    Not sure what Miller was doing on that shot

    Also - Stupid play to ice the puck with 7 seconds left in period.  Had better plays available.  Ugh. 

  5. A guy I work with referees in MVFC.  They are worried about what NDSU leaving means to their profession too.  Will the conference cut a referee crew?

    Last night he got a text from someone and said - sh!t, SDSU going FBS next year.  Maybe said CUSA.  I didn't get a chance to talk to him about it but I don't see anything online.  Something to keep an eye on.

    Awesome, report back!

    Moore is ultra quick with a great handle.  Had 15 points but had a few shots rim out early that would have added to that.

    Very good distributor and defender.  Listed at 6'1" but seemed smaller than that, maybe because his team was so long and he's not very thick yet.  He did get up and dunk a ball which was impressive.

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

    edit - Been told that he likes Danny and Schmitty so some hope for the good guys.  

     

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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.

    Thought they have set records over the past decade in fundraising? 

    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.

    Looks like Ethan Headings, who originally committed to UND, then committed to Iowa before signing day, just recommitted to UND. 
     

    I’m curious as to what happened here, but will definitely welcome him at UND!

    401k loans exist. Usually max at 50% of your value. Some plans don’t allow you to continue contributing though until you pay the loan off. 

    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.
