Press conference at 5:30 on a Friday (mountain time even!), the time when news is released to get the smallest reaction possible? Nothing of significance is coming out of this.

I don't have a clue what you are trying to get at. Who said anything about attendance? All I said that the Big Sky managed to have a pretty normalized schedule with an odd number of teams, even though it is much easier with an even number, which you said isn't possible. Clearly it isn't logistically possible to make it perfect with an odd number of teams but the Summit seems to be going out of its way to make it as convoluted as possible.

Obviously an even number of teams is more ideal, but you can still have a pretty normal schedule with an odd number of teams. The Big Sky managed to do it before Idaho joined with one Monday game a week, and every other game on Thursday/Saturday. I have no clue why the Summit has one of the strangest set-ups out there but it really isn't that surprising.

My guess is the feed was somehow tied into one of the video board lines.

Pretty sure Rico Blasi will be speaking at the fan luncheon tomorrow. He's always done a good job, very honest in his assessments and comments.

With the rumblings coming out of Bismarck, it is going to be very interesting to hear what their plan is. I'm still as dumbfounded as you on their decision to do nothing.

That was what should have been expected before conference play started. Bad assumption on my part thinking they were going to show up at Portland State.

This is as dumb as commenting after every loss. Should be 4-0. They did what they were supposed to once and blew out a team that they should have.

Old Market is fun before the game, lots of bars and restaurants. Have always had a good time at DJ's Dugout or Mattress Factory afterwards. Unfortunately that is when Omaha still played at the CenturyLink Center, so all of that was walking distance.

Did I say they didn't? They have done a spectacular job at the FCS level.

You're right, just hypotheticals. The only thing we can be sure of is that NDSU struggled to adapt and maintain previous level's of success when they didn't have a scholarship advantage over other schools in Division 2. Glad we cleared that up.

So in your mind, 18 cut to 9 is equal to 45 cut to 36....?

What do you mean use it as intended? The rules are outlined and it is very beneficial for players who didn't use a redshirt and got hurt in one of their 4 years or for players who lost two or more years to injury.

I didn't see that he had taken a redshirt on SBCC. That makes a pretty big difference.

Shot terribly, gave up the lead, still managed to come back and win. Another reminder that you aren't anywhere close to good enough to win without showing up. Should have enough of those by now but 2-1 in league play, get another one on Saturday.

That was a long time coming. The parent company of Kay's (Signet) bought out Zales in 2014.

Speaking of objectivity: Guessing you think Chapman was a rock star too? While UND has had some issues with past presidents (who have done plenty of good things along with well documented issues), I don't see UND supporters pretending that those bad thing didn't exist. Meanwhile down in Fargo anytime something negative comes up about NDSU:

With owning two liquor stores currently and a new store planned where you'd assume they'd also want to put a liquor store, Hugo's will either have to close one of the existing ones or lobby to get the city ordinance changed. I can't see them sticking money into expanding the store on Columbia if they would end up closing it.

I do think KMart makes more sense for a few reasons but like I said, somehow still open. I'm curious how long Macy's will sit vacant. Same with the old Scheel's spot, which is nowhere near as desirable but haven't heard of anything even being remotely interested in it.

K-Mart would be a better spot but somehow they are still open. Devils Lake did a nice job repurposing their old Walmart. Would make a ton of sense to do something similar here.

Put the library there.

I think the bigger issue is that there were players who were suspended when it happened and the police reviewed it and no charges while filed. Then a few months later, even more players were suspended, with half of them being recommended for expulsion for something that they had already felt being addressed and people punished for. While not condoning or defending anything that took place, I can see where the confusion and anger comes from on the players part. I'm also not sure they were explained the difference between the burden of proof that the police and the Title IX offices work off of, because the difference is huge and without understanding that, it adds even more confusion why this came back out of seemingly nowhere. I don't know who knew what, how much of it they knew and when they knew it, but that obviously plays a part in it as well. While I truly believe most involved were acting with good intentions and likely less than the full amount of information that is now public, there isn't anyone that comes out of this looking good.

I believe he made it sound like she was actually back at home trying to get better but not positive. For sure she wasn't with the team because he talked about the players staying in contact with her through various social media things and phone calls.

Brew confirmed she was sick on UND Sports Extra last night but say much beyond that in regards of how long she'll be out, just hoping they get her back sooner than later.

To be fair, UND technically did raise a Frozen Four banner when the REA was opened and it lists all the year's UND has made it. So I guess UNO is tied with UND in the number of Frozen Four banners raised, UND has just had to bring theirs down to add years to it a bunch of times.
