    They were swept by Kennesaw St this morning. First game was close at 35-33.  The other two, not so much. Was hoping for a win in this one.  Hopefully bounce back against MSU tonight. We lost to them last year in GF.

    I was not expecting a win, but would have liked them to take a set.  Kennesaw St is a good team, they finished last year ranked 53rd in RPI.  Picked to finish 3rd this year in the ASUN, which is a better volleyball league than the Summit.

    I wouldn't be opposed in theory, but that would be a difficult line to draw as a ton of the "charities" are related to youth athletics to try to mitigate the costs for parents or improve the competitive advantage of a program, or other non-profits that many may not consider to be under the umbrella term of a "charity."

    Team Makers has 7 sites in Fargo/WF, including the Dome and Scheel's Center, out of some 70+ sites in the market.  So they don't dominate, although they have some prime spots in Lucky's, Frank's and the Holiday Inn.  (They don't have Herd n' Horns, Legion baseball does.  I thought that was funny.)

    In Grand Forks, the organizations with the most sites is Development Homes, with 9 sites, and LISTEN, with 7.  The Blue Line Club has 3, and GF Youth Hockey 5. 

    BTW, REA has a gaming license.  Their only site is the arena, so I assume they need it to do the 50/50.

    I largely agree.  My only difference of option would be that I'd be a bit more optimistic on the ability of the Champion's Club, with a competent manager, to acquire gaming sites.   The management of multiple sites isn't a trivial consideration, but it would definitely be a worthwhile endeavor.  A quick look indicates that Teammakers made over 700K on charitable gaming pre-pandemic and pre E-tabs.  

    I'm fairly sure that Team Makers is a distinct entity, separate from the NDSU Foundation.  The Champion's Club is not.  It is part of the UND Foundation and I highly doubt you are going to get the Foundation board interested in gaming.  But nothing is stopping anyone else from forming a 501(c) dedicated non-profit for the purpose of supporting UND Athletics.  Team Makers strength is that is only concerned with supporting athletics.  It might be a good thing to remove some of UND athletic fundraising away from the Foundation and a good example why might be the Aerospace Foundation, which is not part of the UND Foundation and has about $75 million in net assets.

    what's the minimum number?

    I think it is 6 teams that have been together at least 2 years.  If one more school were to leave/drop the sport, the Summit could still sponsor men's soccer but the auto-bid would be lost.

    Last time we played Denver a 5th time after going 0-4 against them in the regular season, UND won the semi-final Final Five game against DU and went on to beat SCSU in the championship. 2010 I believe. 

    Wow.

    Really, the ACU game would be a great time for UND to run some type of family ticket promotion. 

    They have a Friends & Family 4 pack promotion.  $5 tickets (minimum of 4 but up to 9) however Ticketmaster fees will add another $5/each.  Perhaps you can skip that extra fee by getting them at the box office on game day.

    The name is Helix Wine and Bites.

    I went here tonight based solely on this board.  Would not have known about it otherwise. 

    Very, very good.  Wine, food, staff, everything.  I had braised beef over risotto, crab cakes and dirty rice for my partner.  We passed plates and were very pleased with both dishes.

    Caught a lot of glances from others there, so it definitely is a local hangout.  I live too far away to be a regular but will certainly go back.
