  1. Here's a story on an almost former player. Joe Schobert will be starting for the Browns on Sunday. http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/browns-notes/2016/09/08/Browns-counting-on-rookie-starters-Emmanuel-Ogbah-and-Joe-Schobert-to-sack-the-QB.html
  2. I am not a big supporter of the new logo but it is what we have. My son (who is a UND student) wore a grey t-shirt with the new logo to the MN state fair last weekend and both he and his girlfriend said he got a ton of compliments on the logo. Maybe those of us who had a lot invested in the Sioux name are a little biased in evaluating the new logo?
  3. I agree that Kennedy shouldn't be making decisions via committee. My hope is that he is looking for input from the committee and will take that into account while making his decision. He hasn't made any decisions by committee yet as far as I know.
  4. Thanks. I just saw Bubba giving the ref the business. It was on the other end of field from us. I've heard similar on Clive. Really too bad. These guys work hard for a long time to prepare for the season. I feel bad for him.
  5. I was at the game last night. Tough one for the offense. Bubba was really upset with the officials after Clive got hurt. Don't know if was mad about how long they let the play go or if he thought it was a dirty play. Anybody have any insight? no replay or commentary in stadium.
  6. will see you there. The tailgate show is broadcasting from there also.
  7. Me too. Just boarded plane at msp. Let's go!!!
  8. Her parents are Neil and Kathy. From an ESPN article. http://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/6996419/lindsay-whalen-breathes-life-minnesota-lynx Kathy and Neil are both originally from Grand Forks, N.D. They met in third grade.
  9. Her mother is a Vilandre I believe. Grandfather is Casey Vilandre. Both of her parents are from GF.
  10. I believe she was considering transferring to UND after her first year with Cheryl Littlejohn as coach. Littlejohn got fired and she decided to stay.
  11. Eliminating women's hockey would save a ton of money but I am betting against that happening.
  12. What liberties did Schlossman take? Kennedy said changing conferences will be looked at. Schlossman talked to MVFC commissioner and she said no comment and he reported that. He also laid out what options are out there if we do change conferences. He didn't say it was imminent. What am I missing?
  13. http://www.inforum.com/sports/4100412-missouri-valley-conference-official-mum-possible-und-membership#.V7z24b7Xfls.twitter Patti Viverito, the head of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, said Tuesday: "I'm not at liberty to have discussions about membership with the press. We're certainly reading the articles coming out of North Dakota with interest." Viverito declined to speak about the advantages and disadvantages of the current 10-team member, football-only league.

  15. A serious question - do you have any basis for saying this is going on or do you think this is what should happen?
  16. looks like 35. We finished #10 I'm not saying I think we need to keep women's hockey. I just think it would be a tough sell.
  17. No spreadsheets just good old common sense. We have a $1.4 million deficit. Up front we could trade a number of airline flights for bus trips. At a minimum we could bus to NDSU, SDSU and USD with football, men's bb, womens bb, men's tennis, women's tennis, volleyball, softball, soccer...... Without crunching numbers my UND math tells me there would be significant savings right there. I know baseballs budget was about $605k. A lot of that had to be travel.
  18. I'm not sure the Big Sky is sustainable from a cost standpoint. I also like the idea of playing our traditional rivals in conference play. NDSU, USD, SDSU would bring a lot more interest and excitement than anybody in the Big Sky. I know there are dogs in the MVFC/Summit but there are just as many in the Big Sky and they are missing the midwest teams that we grew up hating and competing against. It will be a long time, if ever, before we build the same intense rivalries with the Big Sky teams. I also like the idea of being able to drive to away games against those teams plus UNI.
  19. I don't believe UND will eliminate women's hockey because of Title IX. It is arguably the highest profile women's team due to consistently ranking in the top 10-15 nationally and would face a lot of criticism for that reason.
  20. NDSU administration has been very clear by their actions that their intention is to stick it to UND football for not scheduling them during their transition. I don't think they are looking to do us any favors with a large issue like league membership.
  21. This is why we aren't in the MVFC and Summit. We tried for 4+ years and were constantly turned down. At some point we had to make a move and took the Big Sky offer. It's revisionist history to say that we should have waited on a MVFC/Summit offer. It wasn't coming and we needed a football home. I hope that has changed but I haven't heard that it has.
