I agree we need more coverage of local news. And if a GF radio station had the UW radio guy on I would expect that game to be a topic of conversation. But people are complaining that a radio show on a station named BISON1660 titled The Bison Insiders didn't talk about an upcoming UND game. If a GF station had an Iowa guy on I wouldn't expect them to talk about the NDSU game from a couple of years ago. Like it or not, that show will probably not talk about UND sports unless they are playing NDSU.
There must be some interest in UND by NDSU fans or there wouldn't be any NDSU fans (nd1sufan for one) reading a UND fan board let alone having nearly 950 posts.
Nothing wrong with that but it makes it hard to make the case there there would be no interest from NDSU fans when a UW guy is on the radio in Fargo.

Tom Miller ID'd Wolsky as a PWO on Twitter. Haven't seen anything definitive on Langstaff, but I'm assuming he's a PWO too.
Does anyone know how many of the 2019 commits are PWO vs. scholarship overall?

Per UND Football 360
UND has received a commitment from DE Steven Keech of Two Harbors, MN. 6'5"-225. Keech is the 8th commitment to the Class of 2019. #FightingHawks

Yes. Parents are Don and Donita. Both former VCSU athletes. Really nice kid(though it's been about three years since I spent time around him).
I believe that Don was at UND on the football team for 1 year at least when I was there.

UND football just landed its seventh commitment (third in-state) for the 2019 recruiting class. Luke Lennon, a 6-5, 210 TE from West Fargo and the nephew of legendary UND coach Dale Lennon, has verballed to the Fighting Hawks.
Is Don his father?

I know it doesn't really belong here but not sure where to post it.
Went to watch the Twin Cities Pro-Am basketball league last night. Hooker is still really good. Hit some big shots and was really the only one in either game that made his teammates better. Same team s Mike Bruesewitz who played at Wisconsin and set him up a few times for open looks and a dunk. They played off each other well.
Good basketball. Royce White was probably the biggest name that played. Crandall's team was off last night but he's in the league too.

I wouldn't say we are starting in a whole. Last year was down year mostly caused by a freakish amount of injuries. This team can still build off of 2016. They know that they have the potential to have a season like that again. Not like it was 10 years ago. Many of the players from that Big Sky Championship team are playing this year. this team has the potential to be a playoff team this year (and every year for that matter). No need to let one season make them think otherwise.
I agree with the current players but was talking about recruiting.

How would we be further along with a different coach? Players bolted when Muss was fired, and coming off a 3 win season Bubba had to start in the hole.
I'm a Bubba guy but the 3 win season is a killer. We needed to build off the the 2016 season with the playoff game and 3 wins last year killed that.
we are starting in a hole.

Geno working out daily with the Gophers.....will be taking other visits......Colorado State and Zaga….top competition for his signing with Gophers...….I'll bet the farm he'll become a Gopher....(or Goofer….as some with a Fighting Sousie bent' like to say)
Not doubting what you are saying. Hard to believe he can get 19 credits completed this summer from a distance but I haven't been in school for a long time.

What about the Weber St. home game, same weekend as UND vrs Minnesota in Vegas (hockey)??!! I can't remember if I bitched about that yet, but I am pissed about it.
Me too. I committed to the hockey tix, hotel and airline tix before the fb schedule came out.

You definitely have options. Don't read the Herald and don't follow Schlossman and you should be in good shape.

..and if the NDUS decides to stop funding UND the campus will need to shutdown. Maybe they should speculate about that possibility before the biennium cycle starts up again?
Or if Brad Berry leaves for the NHL then the UND hockey program would need a new coach. That would create clicks for sure.
The women's golf coach resigned and is done June 30th. That is not speculation. it is a fact. She is the only female head coach at UND so at that point UND will have no female head coaches unless they hire one before that date.
I find it noteworthy and leads me to believe that UND will almost certainly hire a female coach. Secondarily they will want to have someone in place before June 30th so they aren't 1 of 2 universities that don't have any female head coaches. That is the reading comprehension part and what most people would take from the article.
You apparently want to pick the article apart to prove a point about Schlossman or the PC world we live in. You found a way to do that but I am telling you what I got out of the article and I found it interesting.
As far as I know funding for UND has not stopped and Brad Berry hasn't resigned but maybe I missed that. The only female head coach at UND will be done in just over 3 weeks. That is indisputable.

Because there are no facts involved. There is projection. The fact would materialize on July 1st.
Also, he counted the next most pullups and next most after that. Oh, and the only reason it was written at all is because he counted CM's pathetic amount of pullups from 2017 for context.
A portion of the article is below.
As of June 30th, UND will no longer have a single female head coach in its athletic department.
Martinson has been the only one for the last five-and-a-half years since Kristen Gay was let go as head coach of the women's soccer team.
According to Herald research, UND will at least temporarily join Arkansas-Pine Bluff as the only NCAA Division I schools without a single female head coach. There are approximately 350 Division I schools.
I see a fact and context - both for UND's situation and nationally. He could have added to the end of the first sentence - unless UND hires a female coach befor June 30th. I guess I was able to fill in that part for myself based on the first and third sentences. He even says temporarily join Ark-PB.

Hard to believe they’d make such a drastic change to save a buck or 2. How many years had they used the Hugo’s bread?
Whatever the costs savings were on the bread, the fallout will be greater IMO for the overall business.
Just a poor, silly, and dumb decision. Support a local business.
I tried to use the Red Pepper a number of times over the last 10 years to cater grinders for an annual event at UND. Nothing fancy, just pre-make the grinders and bring them to us and collect your $1200 - $1500.
We made it work a 2 or 3 times but they were never easy to work with and didn't have much interest in our business. The last time we tried they strung us along for a couple of months by telling us to call back in a week and then turned us down.
I finally gave up and used Rhombus guys pizza truck and another local food truck. They were both great to work with and we are happy to have moved on.

The floor looks great. My only contention is that if UND (which includes the coaches, AD and president) agreed on a design, that is what we should have.
Whether it ends up being right or wrong, they should still have that say.

I'd be giving statement too if i had to deal with ungreatfull pricks who disrespect the nature of her legacy and continous spirtit of philanthropic donation.
I however would not have been nearly as gracious or forgiving as it appears she was in resolving such a shameful display of ungratefulness.
or, in other words...........the rest of the university doesn't matter as long as hockey has been taken care of and you better not mess that up.

Great news.

Here is my limited manifesto on the nickname, logo and floor at the Betty.
- My understanding from those that deal with MK regularly is that he can be difficult to deal with. He needs to figure out how to maintain a relationship with a large donor like KEM.
- I am not a big fan of the nickname or the logo but they are what we have and I support both. Fighting against them serves no purpose in my mind. I was a huge supporter of the Sioux name and wanted to fight the good fight but it got too harmful for the university to continue with it.
- It sounds like the agreement with REA is written to say that it exists for the betterment of UND (or something like that). If that is true then the REA should honor the wishes of the men's and women's bb teams, the vb team, the AD and the president in deciding what is at mid-court at the Betty.

All I am saying is look at the results. Bubba came out 10 minutes after the logo was announced and gave his full support and acknowledged that is was important for us to embrace the new logo. He then said the logo would be on the helmets next season. Go to football games. You see the Fighting Hawks logo everywhere. YOu see flags in the tailgate lot. People wearing Fighting Hawks merchandise. You see football players making statements about being Fighting Hawks and being proud of it. If Bubba had acted like Berry has towards the new name and logo, I don't think you would have seen the same result.
Brad Berry is a leader. He is the leader of the most popular sport at UND. And thus, has the largest fanbase. People look up to Berry and the hockey team as leaders at the University. They are the most high profile aesthetes at UND. If Berry were to fully embrace the Fighting Hawks name and logo, there would be a different atmosphere in regards to acceptance of the logo. They would see how the team is reacting to the logo and name and many would follow. You can't deny that the hockey program as a whole's rejection of the Fighting Hawks name/logo has played a huge role in people not embracing it.
Coaches have a responsibility to support the University. Just like we all have a responsibility to support the practices and policies at our job. I don't think it should have to come to a point where Kennedy or Chaves is going to have to sit Berry down and say, "Hey Brad, we would really appreciate it if you would maybe be more supportive of the Fighting Hawks name and logo because we are trying to promote our new brand and you and your programs support could really go a long way." He should realize this on his own. Apparently he hasn't yet.
Fighting Hawks gear has a decent foothold with people at football games and when tailgating. When many of those same people head to a hockey game night (and it can be the same day) they think twice about wearing it in the arena because it has not been accepted there.
I know I consider changing to Sioux gear and usually wear a mix of both.

I'll agree with this (in general) so then UND should not dismiss that large fanbase they are trying to market and rebrand to. The "hockey crowd" is the largest sports fanbase UND has that will drop money on apparel and merchandise. This "you're going to like it or else" mentality many of you present here isn't working and it's not working for UND either. Again for many it's not a nickname issue, even though it was a safe and generic pick, as the ship has sailed but it's a logo issue. To me that's fixable.
.......and for 1983 I don't have the perfect logo design but all I know is this current one isn't working.
That’s fair but don’t underestimate the impact of the hockey staff not buying into the new name and logo. The hockey crowd is taking a lot of their direction from them. Most coaches got on board early and tried to make the best of the situation and that helped with acceptance by those fans and at those games. Berry was noticeably silent. A little chicken and egg going on here again.

Fair questions. This is a message board where people have opinions.
I think the logo has been pushed by UND and they are getting pushback from independent retailers. Also the UND alum who own businesses and business owners who want to co-brand with the Flagship University want the apparel, promo items, etc. that they give to customers to be worn and not shoved in a drawer or laying on the bottom of someone's closet. I am not sure how many hats Hugo's gave away at a hockey game last year but 100's were left to swept up with the empty beer cups and candy wrappers.
I am sure UND would like to get paid royalties on items that aren't going right to the clearance rack.
I think the fact that the hockey team (and therefore the hockey fans) have rejected the name and logo plays into this too. Hockey is the highest profile sport at UND and it makes sense that a majority of business owners that co-brand with UND are banking on the hockey team. They know the hockey crowd (in general) won't embrace anything with the Hawks logo on it.

Yup. The FB alumni raised 100K+ for the new lockers that are in there but to sink any more money into Memorial itself would be stupid. It's going to be a heap of rubble eventually.
FB alumni raised the money for new lockers and they are supposed to be easily transferred to the HPC when it is ready. The price was $2k/locker if I remember right and we could pay it over 3 years and split it with others. We also got a small plate on the locker with names, position and years played. My dad and I split one.
They may already be over at the HPC already but I lost track.
