Did Chaves get called on his bluff that the only university of the 15 other universities to possibly host and outbid UND would be Nicholls? Seems from this link their minimum bar was already set at $80K going into the bids for this year. Again we don't know what any of the other schools bids were but we do know $80k >>>$75k + gfhockey's pocket change. If Shawn-O can go to the Google to find this nugget........

I believe TM hyped it up in a Herald article I read online.

I get the overhead part as well. UND's facilities are what they are....which are better than most. Chaves should know those logistics and financials for potentially hosting a FB game at UND....which is different than EWU . Maybe he figured he had this figured out when he submitted the bid. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Would be very interested in all the other bids as well.

The Alerus isn't free to use? Really? Thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious. I'm sure everyone on this site needed you to clarify that. .......and I hope you are not insinuating that having a facility that has indoor plumbing, has a roof and has climate controlled settings is a detriment/liability to the bidding process.

You know what you are if you shoot -2 in a match play golf event that has 15 other matches and your score is the second lowest of all golfers in the field except your opponent shots -5 to beat beat you? You're a loser.....you're not in second place.

It's relevant cause UND is dressing in tents.

Times $20 per ticket.........bingo

Like it.........how many season tickets were purchased this season out of curiosity? Or would the university look at the potential administrative work to process the refunds roughly 2 out of every 3 years too laborious?

Maybe he thought the clause "indoor plumbing included" that he added to the bid was worth an extra $20K?

.......so that's why you asked me for 3.00?!

Flights out of Fargo into Denver today already cancelled.

I don't drink the Wentz Kool-Aid but when you don't have your #1 RB, your top 3 WRs or 2 starting OL you're basically QBing a talent pool offensively just north of Temple.

No line posted yet but for you gambling degenerates Nicholls has covered the spread in 6 of 12 games this season having covered the spread in their last 4 games.

BTW this is the "Playoff" thread to discuss all thing FCS playoffs. There is a "Nicholls" thread to strictly kick that singular can if needed.

That's all I was looking for. Thanks.

The question posed was.....would beating NDSU be the signature win in UND's D1/FCS era to date?

Bigger win: Beating NDSU in 2 weeks or K State next fall?

Really?

That's what an extra $20K in the bidding process will do. Porta Potty included? That's embarrassing.

Can we squash this conversation please?!!!

No way Poolman can be close to 100% physically. He just didn't look right skating.

I believe FSN both nights

Garbage? Hmmmmmm....ok. He can make whatever decision he wants if UND beats Nichols. He's one of the 4 best defensive players on this roster IMO when healthy. He's supposedly healthy now. Your post above assumes he'll be healthy all next year.....correct? Pretty big assumption. You make lots of those on this site. Again he's free to make the decision that's best for him if UND gets a shot to dethrone NDSU. UND is a much better FB team when he plays. He'd give UND a better chance vs NDSU. Again is that not the type of game he came to UND for....along with all the other kids on that roster? I think he's been a terrific asset and player for UND. UND needs more kids like him. Maybe my use of words were poor in a previous post but going to be an interesting conversation if he decides not to play vs NDSU.....if game happens.

Holm IMO is our best player in the secondary. If he's healthy and HE opts out of playing vs NDSU.....in a playoff game......to not use a year of eligiblity that's on him. Isn't that the type of game the recruits were sold on in playing in and turning this program around?

No I'm saying he'd play with one arm if given the opportunity. Are you fried like the real Ozzie? Relax
