  1. Huff for 3!!! UND by 6
  2. Technical foul on Drake's coach
  3. 11:55 left UND 44 Drake 39
  4. I hope Montana is packed to the rafters. 12-13k!!!
  5. 35-32 UND just under 16 minutes left in game.
  6. Brekke jams!! 5 point UND lead.
  7. http://www.iheart.com/#/live/1673/?autoplay=true 100.3 Cat Country.
  8. In your opinion what do you see the NCAA doing in say 5-10 years if say the SL lawsuit fails. Do you ever see the NCAA going back on their policy and allowing UND and Alcorn State to use their nicknames? I don't.
  9. I just can't see over 10,000 for SD Mines. Maybe the anticipation of the season may draw that much, quality of opponent is what keeps me skeptical of 10,000. PSU should draw 10-11k or more.
  10. Home openers: 2011 vs Drake 8484 2010 vs NE State (potato Bowl) 9719 2009 vs South Dakota 12,431 (Homecoming) 2008 vs Texas A&M Kingsville(Military Appreciation) 11,434 2007 vs Humbolt State 10,178
  11. Dave, I don't understand..do you want UND to be on NCAA sanctions forever? I don't see the NCAA saying, "oh the ND state law is back and this time by voters we better take them off the list". Sorry ain't gonna happen.
  12. I live in Fargo. And with gas prices going up and up...it cost me almost 50 bucks the last time I was at the gas station...$3.49/gal. Its more expensive in GF.
  13. I hope you are joking...I think people are going to save their money for the Potato Bowl. I wouldn't spend a dime to drive up and see SD Mines. The game doesn't count. Its just a glorified practice for this team. Get the kinks out and perfect the passing game.
  14. What's the old saying you need to spend money to make money. UND hasn't done that playing NAIA teams thoughout the transition therefore losing money and losing fan interest. Maybe playing more DI teams would have sparked a lot more interest and would have gained more money. I know football is king at NDSU and their money maker, just as hockey is at UND but why can't UND make money in football. If we play FCS teams and make the playoffs more and more fans will come to the Alerus generating more revenue. Attendance = revenue. Attendance at games now are sad and pathetic. But with a real conference and with something to play for (playoffs, and a National Title) attendance will rebound nicely. SD Mines will draw 6-8k at most. We won't see close to 10,000 until Portland State, but marketing has to be better and of course the product people came to see must be at their very best. This team has promise and maybe if they spend a little more on football instead of all the money going to hockey 200,000 won't be a problem. I believe UND can be great at more than one sport. I am not a UND hockey fan...I am a UND athletics fan.
  15. It won't matter if its Prairie View A&M or Wagner...its an easy win that counts towards the 7 DI wins mark...unlike UND that won't draw much against SD Mines because its just a preseason game. I would rather UND pay 200,000 to get a DI team up here or whatever amount it takes instead of playing a non-DI team with playoffs on the line.
  16. Thats what it sounds like...their 5 year head start is crumbling like the wall did in Berlin. First volleyball, now basketball...would football (their #1 sport) be next??
  17. Sioux nickname supporters are going to love the people on Bisonville. http://www.bisonvill...ickname/page568 Re: Bill to keep Sioux nickname
  18. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/231992/ If the NDSC doesn't rule it unconstitutional...Goodbye UND athletics. You know people will vote to keep the name either to kill the athletic program (NDSU fans) or they are just clueless on what the consequences are.
  19. 200,000 for a SWAC team? Damn. I wonder if a team would back out against UND and Faison had to search for a replacement if UND would have to fork over that much to get a DI team up here. GT said teams don't want to come to Fargo...what about Grand Forks?
  20. If the GWC didn't have an autobid into the tourny I don't think UND would be playing..we have the second worst RPI in the tournament only Toledo is worse.
