I haven't seen that anywhere. Have a link?

Hey Dan, here's the actual contract stating that Wyoming holds all TV/video rights since apparently you are having a hard time comprehending it. When you were "seeing stuff" all over the internet you must have missed it, an inadvertent oversight I'm sure.

Game notes were released this morning,. The two-deep looks to be the same as the one posted last week. It also says up to 9 true freshman would be making the trip, though it doesn't say which ones.

The FargoU faithful have already made multiple claims UND was going to play dirty despite zero evidence to back it up. This is only going to exacerbate their preconceived notions. Always the victim, it's never their fault....

The point was, if you're going to put a hobbled QB out there, expect him to see extra pressure. It isn't rocket science, it is game strategy. Kind of like clock management is but by the looks of things, not sure that one has reached FargoU yet.

Great, now we have NDSU fans (or whatever) bringing UND hockey into a football discussion.

Fighting Hawks would be more palatable if it wouldn't have been so ridiculously predictable and common. Some variation on Hawks is used by 28 other 4-year schools, making it the 8th most popular sports team nickname. 9 other schools have moved from a Native American Nickname to some variation of Hawk Chowam Hawks - formerly Braves (2006) Dickinson State Blue Hawks - formerly Savages (1972) IUP Crimson Hawks - formerly Indians (2006) Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks - formerly Indians (2006) Miami RedHawks - formerly Redskins (1997) Ripon Red Hawks - formerly Redmen (1985) Southeast Missouri State Redhawks - formerly Indians and Otahkians (2005) Seattle Redhawks - formerly Chieftains (2000) Stonehill Skyhawks - formerly Chieftains (2005)

Which part of the country are you looking at? Some parts better/more safe than others. As with the majority of foreign countries, stay on the beaten path and you'll be fine. The people there are friendly for the most part and the food is excellent.

Looks like there is a preference to ignore specific signatures and to ignore all signatures. Its in the top right of a person's signature.

The bolded part I do agree with and agree that it is a surprising. I just wanted to point out I know for a fact that since the vote to allow FCOA passed, there has been ongoing, very in-depth discussion regarding how to proceed in all sports. Its a significant commitment that will needed to funded annually. From the outside looking in, my opinion is that it may require a sport or two to be dropped. If that truly is the case, it will not be a move taken lightly and all options will be explored before that step is taken

Surprised with the level of your obsession that you don't know that WDAZ doesn't broadcast UND games, Midco pays for that right. How much is it that NBC pays NDSU to broadcast their games again? And buy a clue, the visiting team can't do anything about the broadcasts if the home team refuses to release the rights.

Because away teams control media right? Really good insight otherwise, thanks for your contribution and interest in UND athletics.

On paper, the match-up is as good as UND could hope for against an FBS team when Wyoming has the ball. I have no clue what to expect when UND has the ball from either the offense or defense.

Already getting messages and seeing/hearing its no big deal as their next two games are against teams that he won't need to be 100% for. A hobbled quarterback against Schmidt's aggressive 3-4 is exactly the kind of thing that can quickly change tides.

This blatantly false. There have been ongoing discussions internally for months about the topic, how to proceed and how to fund it.

How would removing North Dakota earlier in the process lead to better choices remaining? The consultants would have still had their "input" and I don't think "no nickname" changed how the committee felt about other nicknames.

While it appeared to be a little bit of a strange play call on 2nd down, if Wentz decides to try to get back to the line of scrimmage or just slides down when he doesn't see anyone open instead of throwing it away, the situation changes completely. At that point, you're at 3rd and between 7-10 but the clock is running or you force Montana to take a time-out. Play call may have been a little questionable but it was the execution that made it look terrible. More or less the equivalent of a running back going out of bounds instead of down right before the sidelines.

I have no problem with shrugging him off like he did. That does not excuse throwing a punch.

Even in the incredible shoot-out in 2012 when UND's defense was atrocious, they gave up less points and yards to Montana than NDSU did yesterday. I don't know how the game against either team will end, but UND's defense won't give up that many points and yards to Montana this year. The flip side is, UND's offense won't be able to move the ball as well as either offense. Don't think they have the size to create the mismatches UM did against NDSU's secondary and it remains to be seen how the O-Line and running game will do up the middle against Montana, which seems to be where NDSU was having the most success. Also a pretty eye opening stat from the game, NDSU had a 10 1/2 minutes TOP advantage, still lost and UM ran more plays than them 92-73.

I didn't defend the fan's actions, in fact I stated fans need to stay off the field and away from opposing players. I also didn't have to add a bunch of things to try to make what the fan did do worse than it actually was. But none of that that precludes Morlock from being in the wrong as well. What's amusing is they won't even see the irony in it. However it is funny to see baseless assumptions and accusations like that before UND has even played a down this year though.

Weird that you need to add in things that didn't happen and make it sound a lot worse than it actually was just to defend it. Sure looks to me like he shrugged him off with his right arm (no issues with that) and then followed with a swing with his left (where the problem lies). And you know damn well if it was a UND player that had done the same thing, FargoU fans would be in an faux uproar, contacting media stations across the nation demanding the player to be suspended or kicked off the team. Not even debatable. I'm still hearing/reading crap about the supposed cheap shot (that wasn't) a UND player had on UM's QB last year from bison fans that I know didn't see the game.

Just for the record, fans need to stay off the field and away from opposing players. That being said, a player should never swing at a fan.

Things that will not get you suspended at Fargo U (a running list): Voter fraudRunning from the cops after stealing a road signPunching someone out after a night of drinking after their girlfriend turns you down, followed by running from the cops while in handcuffsTheft (Note: suspension may apply if you were not going to play regardless)Punching a fan

Its that simple, yet the rise in ticket prices had nothing to do with UND on the schedule this year.... Also, have the cost cuttings started in Fargo already? From someone who worked with the event, NDSU athletics expected 1,000 people at their block party last night (jealous and impressed). Knowing that information, they printed out and brought 300 yard signs....

Cuts very well may have to be made to do it. Did you not see the difference in scholarships offered by UND and NDSU? It only gets larger when you look at total sports and participation numbers. UND sponsors a lot more non-revenue sports, offering more opportunities for student-athletes (and also the reason UND has a higher subsidy level). While not the ideal situation, at some point, trimming a sport or two is a very possible and logical response to this.
