Don't we have a bunch of commits from the local area right now coming in over the next couple years?

What exactly are you looking for? They had two light practices before going on spring break. New QBs, OC and OL coach, going to work through figuring stuff out. Guessing there will be some content once they are on a more consistent schedule next week. Practices are open to the public for anyone that wants to go.

A handful of them joined in on the joke and acted like a bunch of teenagers. It appeared they took offense to the UND football team's antics (which is no different than they have done at any other game) and decided to one up them and act like high schoolers. Not a good look for some of those parents/fans. SDSU has a really good team. Two solid bigs and then Mayo. Mims was chasing guys around all night. UND didn't get the rebounding edge it needed and SDSU got hot from 3 (partially due to some second chances and also missed assignments/rotations).

Per an email that came out yesterday, both will be speaking at the UND booster luncheon on Friday at the Union.

I promise that you aren't the target demographic. Rents are in line with other similar units in the market and there is a whole lot of convenience that come with this one. Can't complain about people not investing money and then criticize the prices they need to charge to see appropriate return on their investments.

Haven't looked back but have they ever been in the last 4 in? Or been a controversial pick? That would be sneaking in by almost anyone's definition.

Won't argue on the advancing but what year's have they "snuck in"?

If you want the third possession in OT when it switches to sudden death, taking the ball makes sense. If you are willing to go for 2 to possibly win the game like KC supposedly was, defense makes sense. SF's defense was also super gassed so giving them a little extra rest makes some sense. Though, that's assuming that the people making the call knew the rules.

Saying a new OC is good in the long-run is antagonizing innovation and pushing the status quo? Wild. Just because people don't continuously beat a dead horse anonymously on a message board, hold grudges, threaten to withhold donations and demand to burn everything down doesn't not mean they aren't actually working on different ways to improve the program and athletic department by actually doing things that hopefully help. I assume/hope we all wants what is best for UND. We definitely all have different views on how that can/should be accomplished.

Gotcha. I've had that FAR>ORD flight cancelled and delayed on me multiple times, missing connections. ORD seems to be nothing be trouble when I connect through there.

From experience, this happens out of Fargo just as much Grand Forks. And it is not fun regardless of where it happens at.

Landry spending a week in Grand Forks had zero to do with anything mentioned.

I don't necessarily agree with this sentiment but two ND and one SD commit coming in.

Yeah, this it ain't it.

Great example of considering the source.... They aren't getting 9 new gates, let alone terminals, and the project, which was already approved, is definitely not $955 million. The $10 million grant is part of the federal cost share part of the project that is already known and just helps the project get started.

First, consider the source. It definitely seems to be more sensationalized from any of the versions I've heard. The end result was likely best for everyone in the long run, even if it meant losing the OC. And before the random arguments come up, I'm not saying that I think losing the OC was good for the very near future. Also, no clue if there is an actual extension in the works (even though some have decided it is apparently already done since its been brought up for the last two months). Even if there is, as was already stated, it doesn't mean anything until we see the actual details of what would be in any sort of extension. If it is a multi-year extension with full buyout, that's significantly different than an extension in years only with an easy buyout for UND that on the surface shows long-term stability to help with recruiting, which these days includes new recruits and keeping your own players on your team.

The first year was a mess but it was sold out last season (and possibly the season before) and both UND (higher priced tickets) and the Alerus Center (sponsorship) are making more money off of it.

He makes ~80% of what his counterparts in Fargo and Brookings make. Not sure about the new guy at USD, but guessing on par with him.

Can't see any reason to even consider that but I bet it would raise more money than yours did.....

You mean the guy who's worked his way onto two FCS advisory committees? Maybe you should start a gofundme to buy a clue... https://fightinghawks.com/news/2023/10/27/general-bill-chaves-named-to-pair-of-football-championship-subdivision-committees.aspx

Not sure who that refers to but just another example of arguing against points no one is making. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings by posting your own comments, but my apologies.

This you? Given Howe's on-field accolades, knowledge of the game and the above statement, seems pretty obvious that you feel you know more about football than he does. I know you have a few other gems stating that you know more than most but this one makes me chuckle. I should note you never did follow through with that, but I don't think anyone was shocked. Maybe "any day" will come soon enough.

Maybe you're right, maybe you aren't. You've managed to do both plenty of times, so not real concerned on your self-proclaimed expert opinion. We all get it, you don't like the current head coach. You've made it very clear. And I don't think anyone has argued that you don't have some valid reasons to be frustrated. Just because others don't think burning down the program in order to feel vindicated about our "personal feels" or that change guarantees any sort of success doesn't mean they care less than you or aren't working behind the scenes to make meaningful changes.

What exactly will he be right or wrong about? A whole bunch of vague, cryptic comments with no substance? Seems like there should actually be something to be right or wrong about.

Even referencing something like that is going to make some head veins bulge and start off a whole new wave of made up arguments...
