Hawkster

That depends. Does gfhockey count?

8-3 should be a given with this years weak schedule, even with a few injuries

But it's too bad the game is against a cupcake like Drake.

In past years I used to get a little worried when we didn't have any commits by now when a lot of the neighboring colleges are getting them left and right, but they will show up here soon enough. It's not a race to see who can get them first, it's who gets the best. That said, I am surprised at the number of guys both NDSU and SDSU have gotten already, seems like verbals are coming earlier every year. Still, we will have plenty by next month.

I think they view more engines as more chances for failure.

Sure sounds like the coaches are going after the right kind of players. We want guys with good raw talent but are not getting a lot of offers from the big boys. Bring them in and mold them to our style football and watch them grow in the sport. Looking forward to the verbals rolling in eventually.

I voted for the Hawks name and was looking forward to the logo, but this is beyond bad. Send it back and try again, the ND is almost indistinguishable and it gets worse from there. I hate this logo, I just do!!!

"More commitments"? We don't even have one yet for 2017 as far as I know.

I'm surprised we went with a WO offer. Seemed like he'd have been a good get. Apparently Bubba must have his sights set on someone better.

Looks Lincoln Gibbs committed to NDSU. That's already their second commit for the year.

Apparently someone forgot to tell Massey that the Hawks are much improved Has us ranked fifth in the Sky, and only a 6% chance to beat Bowling Green and has us losing by 25 pts. http://masseyratings.com/team.php?t=10668&s=286577 http://masseyratings.com/team.php?t=5538&s=286577

I think we found a place to cut, I'm sure someone is going to be out of a job after this cluster#$%^. My apologies if it was posted elsewhere, I just saw it in the Strib. How can anyone be that naive and leave keys in a vehicle? http://www.startribune.com/young-woman-stole-squad-car-drove-it-25-miles-then-crashed/380431341/

So it's Top Secret huh? No discussion at all as to the repercussions of such a move? Even I know better.

I ran into one of the men's athletic staff a few days ago and said to him I hear football is moving up to FBS in a couple weeks. He laughed and said Don't believe everything you read on the internet. I will say, SV is doing a pretty good troll job though.

But I hear Wentz made the cover of SI. Too bad SI didn't put our hockey team on front after the title win.

I just got done editing my earlier post, but $40 a year times 5 is still $200, not $600.

I don't know where you got your math lesson from but you are WRONG. Tuition is $7965 per year, which figures to $39.82 per year, times 5 years amounts to $199.10. I'm guessing you included room and board, which isn't part of tuition. I'm quite disappointed that tuition is going up at all. I don't see how these kids can keep borrowing to pay for school. It gets pricey when you have to pay it back. I suppose you could argue that you are quoting Non resident tuition, and yes MN is higher too, but they don't pay $20,000 a year either http://und.edu/admissions/undergraduate/costs-and-aid/

Given our financial position right now there is no way we are moving up to FBS. I'm just glad steps are being taken to hang on to what we can and no way can we afford to expand any programs.

I see NDSU just gave Kliman a 6 year contract and a pay raise. We are very, very lucky to have Bubba working for the salary he has. IIRC Bubba is getting around $190,000 and is an absolute steal for that kind of money. I think a fair question is though, with money this tight, what happens when the time comes for Bubba to get a well deserved pay increase? Once we start making the playoffs you can bet someone will come knocking with a better offer and while he probably loves it here, money talks. Sure hate to lose the guy because we aren't paying near the top of the FCS, but don't see how we can pay more either with the money strain right now.

I'm trying to figure out how Grady can be eligible since he wasn't on campus for spring semester. I get it that he completed and passed all his classes from fall semester but how can anyone drop out like that and come back. It's good if it works, except that he missed spring ball, but I can't wrap my head around this being OK with the NCAA.

I wish you wouldn't post this junk unless you can verify it. I'm guessing you just made this up, right?????

I see we are eliminating baseball and men's golf. I know money is tight but I sure hate to cut sports. What's next on the chopping block? I feel this leaves UND with a bad image and we should find other ways to tighten the belt.

No you won't. No changing once a pick has been made.

Is it game time yet? The wait is nearly over!!!
