Looks like Ruhe transferred to Southwest Minnesota State.

Rastas is in, looks like Marler from Minot either isn't coming or being announced today.

Russo was in earlier and Cloyd was just announced. Down to Turner and Randolph Randolph has a picture of him signing on his twitter.

Hope UNDFan doesn't mind, but fixed to clear up confusion

There's actually 25 listed. The heading is off saying 4 PWO's, there is 5 with the addition of Rastas. The list matches SFI's list of 25 as well.

Feel pretty confident seeing on Twitter the amount of UND gear his parents got, but still would be nice to have that one in the hopper.

One had the preference of the academia on the committee and one had the preference of everyone else. Not sure about the feelings on the third one.

Yep, that is a very nice one to see! Hoping to see Cloyd's fax come in soon...

It depends on whether they get the proper paperwork filled out and sent in. It is slightly different from those getting scholarships.

That's actually the reason I prefer Olsen from ASU. I think he has the experience to know what he doesn't know from the different places and positions he's been in. His expertise in budgeting/finance has to be really attractive right now with the budget shortfall and upcoming drop in state funding. I just personally think that Shirley's application is one turn too soon for him though there is nothing that says he wouldn't do an excellent job.

While I do think he'd do a excellent job, I agree with previous sentiments, he's about one higher level job short on his resume to take over at UND. He's trending in the right direction and checking all the right boxes moving up with each stop and having now been a president at two different universities, but zero experience at a research institute is a tough sell with his only previous stops being UM-Crookston, Dakota State, Valley City and Minot State.

Former ND Miss Basketball (and NDSU player) Holly Johnson will play her final season at UND (per UNDSports.com)

I thought this was a pretty objective take on the situation, pretty insightful article in general about pre-draft hype. Carson Wentz Hype Train Needs to Slow It's Roll - http://thedraftwire.usatoday.com/2016/01/31/carson-wentz-is-who-we-thought-he-was-and-there-is-nothing-wrong-with-that/

I don't necessarily disagree overall but if you haven't seen a difference between this year and the last couple years, it's because you aren't paying attention or you don't want to. Like I said, I hope everyone learns from it.

Young team got too confident, things had been coming easy. They had some adversity last night and didn't weather it. Lots of things that could have went another way, hopefully they (and the staff) learn from it so later in the year they come out with a better result. This team has the talent to make some noise in the conference tournament.

I get wanting your best player to take the last shot but if Hooker is going to take that, it needs to be from the elbow where he doesn't miss. Still think Drick was the best option tonight, they had no answer for him short of putting him on the line.

UNC scores, UND ball with 10 seconds left after a timeout. Give it to Drick, he's dominating down low.

UND goes up 1 with 33 seconds left. Will have a couple seconds if UNC scores

No mention of his lime green sneakers??

These announcers make a guy long for NAU's guys. Need to keep UNC from getting hot, UND definitely the better team.

You noticed that as well? Strange since he's been so vocal about this. It's not that the Foundation is paying for it, it's that he intentionally misrepresented it after asking them to cover the tab.

I feel like we've seen this story before...

I would put the caveat out there that they actually have pretty good wings, especially when they are on happy hour pricing.

You're off to a good start by asking for some guidance or at least making a good first impression. Input from the students/alumni/fans will be key but none of them will want the same thing (good luck). The design will likely be not well-received initially but this is not to be taken personal, it is just a truth of the situation, unless of course it is identical to the Fighting Sioux logo which would be the absolutely only thing that would appease a portion of the fanbase. We are used to something unique and while it will be hard to come up with something like that with a fairly generic nickname, it needs to be "different" but please not in a cartoon-like way. Finding a very subtle way to tie in any portion of the old logo(s) would help you cause but not to a degree where it is blatant (like a headdress on a bird). UND is the flagship school of the state, classic is important, not something that is flashy or modern and is going to be feel outdated in a few years. As it was already stated, have thick skin. This is not a project for someone who is unable to take some serious criticism, which will be inevitable regardless of how good or bad the design turns out.

A) I would guess there is a fair amount of schadenfreude after hearing how NDSU's athletic department is flush with cash is a big part of it topped off by the request coming 2 years into a 5 year agreement and the lack of details making it all the more cringe-worthy. And you're incorrect, the students will not be voting on it, the Student Fee Advisory Board makes a recommendation to Bresciani on whether it should be approved or not. There is not a student vote. B) Are they really "getting" more money or is it supplementing a different area that is declining for an unknown reason? Are people really upset or just enjoying the show? If the increase is for travel/supplies/equipment as stated (which is absurd that it would almost triple out of nowhere), then I don't see anything to get upset about other than NDSU being really poor at budgeting and making projections. C) Lying might be a strong word but at best they are being less than forthcoming and that is not speculation, that is directly from NDSU students (one who was on the board for the 5 year approval just 2 years ago) who grilled the athletic representatives who continued to provide vague answers.
