Pretty impressive considering we were told donors had no interest in giving money to UND while Kennedy was the president. Must have been a lot of donations the last 15 days of June.....
Good work by the Alumni Association.
We were also told by some that donations would dry up when the Sioux name went away. Apparently that didn't happen either.

This is true.

I don't see Tyus Carter on the roster anymore. Did he leave the team?

Can you confirm that our offensive linemen are anorexic?
I cannot confirm that. There were some big dudes in that group.

Am in GF today so I stopped by practice this morning. Not much to see with only helmets on today.
Good tempo at practice and some good looking athletes.

I'm not sure about the GF residents, but coming from Bismarck, I'm happy the game is on Saturday rather than Thursday.
Same for me coming from Twin Cities. Appreciate the Saturday game. Saves me 2 vacation days.

Has anyone else received an invoice for their tailgating spots yet? I received an email stating they wanted to have all renewals back by July 19th (today). I left a voicemail and sent an email but have not heard anything else. Anyone else have issues?
I did get a receipt in the mail

Don't remember that and never heard of it.
I do remember the fog that would develop when the place got full of warm bodies.
Might have been only a short term thing. Some years ago I tried making it at home. I was not impressed.
From what I can find it was a thing for a while in late '60's. That would make sense regarding the timeline.

Dam. Some crazy times in the Barn. So cold, you just had to be filled up with antifreeze.
I played youth hockey in there. I remember the concession stand selling hot Dr. Pepper. Not sure I have seen that anywhere else.

If youve noticed --according to SV---any school and I mean ANY school who has decided to do ANY type of improvements to their athletic program , they are trying to move up.
It makes my head hurt

Cary Eades twitter posts pop up every once in a while in my feed.
Just a general observation - he sure likes posting picture of himself with his shirt off.

Make me. IDGAS what you idiots think, you've turned off more real UND fans with your garbage posts and accusations then you can imagine. You clowns must love your circle jerk you got going with the handful of morons that keep posting on here. Say anything negative about UND or a select bunch of fans and you're automatically a troll bison fan according to you simpletons. Sometimes the truth hurts but you babies can't handle the truth! It's one of the big reasons UND has gone to !@#$ over the last 15 years and unfortunately I don't see it getting better anytime soon with you sad sacks running the show.
Everyone on here has an opinion but who on the forum do you think is running the show at UND?

For a guy who likes to chastise those holding onto the Fighting Sioux nickname, you sure love to re-tell the stories about the golden days of yore of the 1990's and early 2000's when it comes to UND football...
Surprisingly it is a similar time frame as the last hockey National Championship we won as the Fighting Sioux. The year 2000.

She said she wouldn't contribute to the university.
She continued to contribute money to a private hockey arena in Grand Forks.
well - the Kennedy barrier is gone. Let's hope she wants to prove a point by writing a check to the university.

She's generous with the $4M for 2/3 of the scoreboard.
Serious question - She said she was done contributing with Kennedy still there. How did the scoreboard get done?
Was it committed before she said that or does she consider Engelstad foundation money a different pot vs what she referred to?

I just think it was unwise to have one rb recruit in a class be a guy with a known academic risk. Especially with the impending graduation of two great backs.
I wasn't intending to comment on that and I agree with you. I just don't believe that the staff neglected their duties in helping him remain eligible as another has stated.

No, playing 2-4 games wouldn't have made a difference if he was also practicing all year. But with his issues coming in, and they were issue the staff was aware of, It may have been best to keep him away from all football activities and concentrate only on getting his studies and study habit in order for the first year, It may have saved him a year of eligibility by being able to be academically this year. He may have been a little behind football wise, but he could have made that up in the spring and this fall.
As I said - it could go the other way too. Being eligible to play football can be a motivator for getting your school work done too. As a college freshman - a year out is a long ways away. Having a short term goal can be more motivating.

They aren’t pussy whipped by the coaches like Dom and Jeff.
One of those two told me personally during the Bohl era that they had to refrain from reporting some things or they wouldn't be allowed near the locker room or team anymore.

I don't understand the criticism of Bubba and staff for not setting Weah and others up for success when you have no idea what was done for them.
I don't know all the details but I do know they provide a lot of academic support for the players and have for many years. I don't think playing in 2-4 games really took him away from his studies. As was stated on here earlier - having something to strive for athletically motivates a lot of kids to do their school work. At some point students have to do the work - nobody can do it for them. Unless it is the Gopher basketball team of the Clem Haskins era.

I thought the same thing. Show some leadership. As much as we would love to still be the Fighting Sioux - it ain't coming back.
It does show how much the sports world differs from corporate America. Corporations make painful decisions all the time that aren't necessarily popular with the employees but leaders are expected to find a way to support them. You wouldn't last long in a leadership position in many corporations while openly subverting decisions the organization has made.

Hard to argue that this isn't a tougher schedule than he would get playing at a ND high school.
