Football remains on Pluto. Hopefully basketball and volleyball stay on the normal WatchESPN app and don't flip over to ESPN+.

Full disclosure: It's a $1.2 million project that needed state and federal funds allocated to cover the rest so that it would only cost the city $120K. Those other funds need to be applied for and allocated to bring the cost down to what it is for the city.

Because of his injuries, it's tough to tell what the actual struggle is. He only needs to be an average hitter in order to be a very valuable player. He still has a few years to figure out it, hopefully he can before his speed starts declining.

The game plan is set up perfectly. The execution, particularly in the secondary, will be the ultimate determination of how the game goes. The odd thing is, even though though it will be the 3rd game of the year, I'm not sure if anyone will have a good pulse on how the team is sitting due to the extremes of the first two opponents.

They just ran a month long promotion during July partnering with Valley Dairy for discounted tickets to the home opener.

There really isn't a ton of seating options between the 20's due to season ticket holders on one side and the student section plus a partial season ticket section on the other. My guess is that is why they don't really differentiate prices since there isn't a ton of those more desirable seats available. If you or someone else is in town, you're better off going right to the box office at the REA or Alerus Center and the cost will be much closer to that $25.

You're right on the first part, he was down 10lbs. Not sure who or what I was thinking about. But it looks like they have him down another 3 pounds from last year.

Bold take assuming they will actually comprehend the irony. UND has a good history picking up guys from northern Minnesota (which starts around Elk River/Andover) as it tends to be an under recruited area. Hope they can hang on to the other guys the have up there.

Injuries are a concern but pretty early to be writing him off as a bust.

Depends on the guy. I think Tank played too heavy last year and guessing the staff did too since he lost a few pounds in the offseason. Speed is a fair concern, but he isn't going to be running deep routes. Plenty fast enough to run short and intermediate routes and be a possession type receiver.

All-state basketball player and placed at the state meet in the long and triple jump. Not sure what there is to argue in his height or athletic ability. He knows the routes, so if he can catch and block, I don't see why he wouldn't be out there.

He's 6'4" and a hell of an athlete.

I agree 100% with all of this. Regarding the first half: Have heard good things about FD's offseason and a refocus on basketball, knocking off the rust after spending 4 years concentrating on volleyball.

Need to make sure to have those quality losses, wins against FBS teams and stronger FCS teams aren't as impressive.

I like it. Some strange, distant cousin of The U's turnover chain, but whatever get's the defense pumped up.

It really surprises me based on what I've seen and heard. Hopefully it that is actually the, it is due to AZ working hard and earning it over the summer and not from a lack of effort from NK (which there is no reason to think that) or it also basically means nothing. I still expect the latter to be under center the first game of the year, but guessing all 3 guys will see game action.

Pretty fair guess considering he has USD, SDSU and NDSU in his pocket.

Give me an example of a player blowing out a knee in an overtime shootout (your exact example) otherwise, yes, it is a complete strawman argument. The matter of which they come about are different, however they still seem like they would be "a stain on the integrity of a team game". I mean there's no teamwork involved. (Yes I understand the ridiculousness of this point. Yes it was done intentionally to show how ridiculous some of these arguments, including this one, are). So you're completely worked about something that has not ever been considered, proposed or mentioned other than anyone but yourself? Wow. No, I'm telling you to learn to accept that you're in the minority on your opinion and also, apparently not whine about something that isn't on anyone's radar but you're own. It was strictly a tongue in cheek jab at the comment that shootouts are "a stain on the integrity of a team game". If that is apparently the moral fabric on which hockey is built, remove penalty shots and just give a power play.

Meh, better than a random message board poster (barely). You're assuming Douple is planning ahead, I disagree. The NCAA would also very likely issue extension/waivers as they have in the past as long as they Summit shows they have a plan to get back into compliance. And the issue there is....

It's an issue with the switch to the new website, they are working on coordinating the content. Talked to summertime in the athletic department recently, they are aware and working on getting it fixed.

Strawman argument, not relevant to the point, especially considering the unlikeliness of it happening based on how many shootouts there have been and how often you hear of someone blowing their knee out (none that I can find for the record). And I told you accept you are in the minority and deal with it. Penalty shots must be a stain on the integrity of a team game as well? Or are those excluded because a player might have had a breakaway? Another strawman argument....

You are in the minority. Accept that and it will help you understand why the majority of leagues are using a shootout. Because it's what the majority of fans want to see. Except for entertainment for the majority of people who paid for tickets.

I'm not aimlessly shouting praises either, but I've seen how much effort they put into promoting the program, so I'm not going to be aimlessly criticizing with absolutely zero information other than supposedly Midco asked about doing a show and knowing nothing else. I don't think anyone disagrees with your second point.

Without knowing any details outside of Midco supposedly asked about doing a show, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape. There is no one who does more to promote the football program than Bubba himself. On top of that, they did weekly 2-4 minute videos along that line through UND Insider in 2016, so it isn't like the whole thing is a foreign concept and that is the reason they weren't interested.
