FSSD

I thought the owning the farm was a nice t-shirt.

It was a big 1st round punch and the Bison were off balance the rest of the game. There were 4 pancake blocks around the 25 yard line. It was a thing of beauty.

Agreed, I was looking forward to an expanded role next year. Best of luck in the future young man.

Apparently our offense took a nap also.

Welcome to 2020 - we want your engagement time but we don't want your feedback.

Up 10 with 5 to play. That is a tough loss.

OK, does anyone understand the purpose of this highlight video? I wanted to get an quick feel for the game ... This was a complete waste of time. This type of video is not engaging in anyway. I don't understand the purpose of the Summit League website. Do others get it? https://thesummitleague.org/news/2024/3/9/mens-basketball-late-game-heroics-send-no-7-denver-past-no-2-kansas-city.aspx

Thanks for posting, what a great story. Best wishes to the Ihenachos family - a new baby is always a blessing.

Just to put in perspective the price ranges we are talking about for each of the conferences (mens BB only): Summit League: 1.2 m to 2.6 m (StT current level 1.2 m - UND is at 2.0 m - most SL teams at 2.0 m to 2.4 m) Horizon League: 1.7 m to 5.7 m (UW-Milwaukee with the 5.7 m number, next closest is 2.8 m Detroit Mercy most around mid 2 m) MVC: 2.2 m to 4.0 m (Murray is the highest for MVC, most are mid 3 m) A10: St. Louis is at 7.6 m AAC: Wichita St. is at 5.8 m Big East: 8.0 m to 35.0 m (most are mid teens to 20 m - Syracuse is at 35.0 m. DePaul is at 8.0 m) FYI - StT hockey is at 1.3 m for hockey and UND/UNO/DU are at 5.4m/4.9m/4.2m Now, I would like to be clear that I am very bullish on StT and I think you are really going to see a bump in the programs once the new arena is built. And I would be in favor of St.T joining NCHC in the near future. Maybe dumping SCSU.

UMKC roster is all bigs are international and most guards are from Arizona. I was thinking that they would be able to get some local talent given the location.

At half UMKC up by 8

I thought that it was nice to carry forward the name of Hyslop with the naming of the building. "Hyslop at Memorial Village"

UND's home schedule is very nice: Sep 7th - Montana (3) Sep 14th - Idaho St. Sep 21st - San Diego Sep 28th - Murray St. Oct 19th - UNI Nov 9th - SDSU (1) Nov 16th - USD (8) Road Games include: Iowa St, NDSU (3), YSU (14), Indiana St. and Illinois St.

Game against NDSU will be interesting. NDSU got away with a guard on Omot last game and they won the match-up. I have to think Omot might be looking forward to that match-up again.

This really feel like a race to 11 wins. UM-KC last four: USD, UNO, DU and ORU. They can make to 10-6. UNO last three: ORU, UMKC, StT. I had UNO at 8-8 previously. I am thinking that it might be 7-9. StT last four: NDSU, SDSU, UNO, DU. This looks like 3-2 for final record of 9-7. Still sitting at 9-7 because they have xDSU on the road. SDSU last four: DU, StT, UND, NDSU. They play the top 3 schools and a tough UNO. So, do they go on a streak. - 11-5. They lose to UND or NDSU. No change, but they got lucky with the win on the road in OT against UNO. UNO handed the game over. NDSU last four: StT, UND, USD, SDSU. The schedule is a little better for NDSU. They lose to UND or SDSU. 10-6. I am shocked that NDSU lost of DU. That lose hurts and I think 9-7 is more realistic. UND last four: NDSU, SDSU, USD. I for sure see 2-2 but I am calling 3-1 with a lose to NDSU or SDSU. 11-5. Big road sweep this weekend for UND. NDSU is a huge game. UND will need to be ready to play next Saturday. UND and SDSU share the title. St. Thomas is the wild card. Can they beat SDSU or NDSU? Not much of a change. The last two weeks is going to be fun to watch. So, many games between the top 4 schools.

If I am reading this correctly, there is a document that refers to "Facility Usage Fee" in multiple locations. I assume that the REA includes both the Ralph and Betty. So, this FU Fee is used to support the teams that are tenants in those facilities or use those facilities for game day. So, it is supporting the following programs: Men Hockey Mens and Womens Basketball Womens volleyball Womens soccer.

As it currently stands both SDSU and NDSU have clear advantages with football facilities. The facilities UND is in progress with are to simply close that gap. It certainly will not give UND a clear advantage that both SDSU and NDSU have today. So, am I saying that all the sudden UND is pouching recruits from xDSU - NO. But I can see UND in more recruiting battles head to head with both schools. Other areas that I have seen UND work on recently includes endowed scholarships for the football program. UND recently created 10/15 endowed scholarships. This is going to make money available for other needs. And it is going to take these types of changes over the long term to get there, unless there is a Denny Sanford waiting to help UND. Again, coaching salaries and NIL are two areas that UND will need to monitor and improve on. I look forward to improvements in this area. It is clear Bubba knows about the coaching salaries and he is doing everything he can to improve them. As far as your comments about SDSU, it will be interesting to see if they can continue to reload. Much of there success was based on keeping a CORE group of players for 6 years. That 6 year advantage will be going away. And can they continue to keep the next round of players. You have started to see NDSU have problems with that (a good problem to have IMO). We will see. Plus, I am not sure SDSU can generate the NIL money that NDSU does. The next 4/5 years will be very interesting.

I agree with you. UND will have some of the best facilities in the MVFC later this year.

The reality is that nobody on this message board can state exactly what the 52% is used for.. is that money exclusive to Hockey which many here assume. I don't know, but I think that is a silly notion.

To be honest, I have no problem with UND's approach - student focused first: 1) Facilities - Fritz (Indoor Practice Facility) - Open - Memorial I (Coaches Offices, Other areas) - Open Fall 2024 - Fritz II (Locker rooms, new outdoor track and outdoor field turf) - Open Fall 2024 2) Cost of attendance, Alstom ($1 million annually) - (starting spring of 24). 3) Then coaching salaries Next up coaching salaries. People need to remember SDSU and USD still have mortgages to pay for their facilities. If the North Dakota schools were able to use State Bonding for athletic facilities it would be helpful. So, you don't have an apples to apple comparison.

This really feel like a race to 11 wins. UM-KC last four: USD, UNO, DU and ORU. They can make to 10-6. UNO last four: SDSU, ORU, UMKC, StT. It feels like UNO ends up 8-8. StT last five: USD, NDSU, SDSU, UNO, DU. This looks like 3-2 for final record of 9-7 SDSU last five: UNO, DU, StT, UND, NDSU. They play the top 3 schools and a tough UNO. So, they do they go on a streak to win it - 11-5. They lose to UND or NDSU. NDSU last five: DU, StT, UND, USD, SDSU. The schedule is a little better for NDSU. They lose to UND or SDSU. 10-6. UND last four: ORU, NDSU, SDSU, USD. I for sure see 2-2 but I am calling 3-1 with a lose to NDSU or SDSU. 11-5. UND and SDSU share the title. St. Thomas is the wild card. Can they beat SDSU or NDSU?

Congrats to Tyree - all the best for your new family.

I really enjoyed watching Tank play. But, I think that Griffin really played well this year also. I really hope that he has another year on the roster.

Is there a link to the UND OC press conference?

Hire makes sense given his connection to the new OC.
