Last I heard, Mathews hadn't actually signed his offer and might not now. Wouldn't blame him.

Any idea if they have already made it through clearinghouse or there will be any issues? Or one of those things you don't get to find out until it happens?

I, and everyone else here, is well aware, it's your slow friend you have to explain it to. Hopefully he understands it better than the difference between "alumnus" and "alumni".

NDSU still crying poor after giving out almost $18 million in tuition waivers which is almost 56% of waivers within the NDUS despite having less than 28% of the students. Approximately 23% of NDSU students got some sort of waiver vs. the NDUS average of 17% (or under 15% of you exclude NDSU). Lots of money on Grad Assistants as well. Guessing they are still included in the funding formula so that works out nice. Arguments for and against those, but even if they are excluded, NDSU still gave out 40% more waivers than UND.

UND didn't receive an invite because they cancelled the Summit League's visit. In the history of the Summit League, there has not been a single instance where they haven't extended an invite after a campus visit. That might not normally carry a lot of weight, but when it comes from a league that has had 30 different members in its 33 year history (not even counting affiliate members), it is pretty obvious that UND was going to get one and made a decision between the two.

I guess there is a first time for everything. Would really throw a wrench into the rumor-mongering that you're so fond of. Any more updates on the eligibility of UND recruits?

They could end up losing their best player in football and basketball within a few months of each other? Ouch!

Per Baukol's twitter, it looks like a couple bench press records were broken during testing: Safety - Javen Butler benched 355 to break Justin Belotti's record Running Back - Kyle Norberg benched 385 to break Shannon Burnell's record Linebacker - Will Ratelle benched 405 to break Ben Leingang's record

But apparently you can? You claim that Grand Forks hasn't been dominant because they've only won 1 title out of the last 4. But yet they've had a team in the championship game 3 out of the those 4 years and 8 out of the last 9. So which is it? You're claiming Grand Forks isn't superior because 3>1 but then call anyone else who does it with UND/UM a moron. Spin, spin, spin....

Unfortunately I'm not sure they have anyone who can get him the ball. Their current QB depth chart is something like: Mallett - Hoyer - Savage - Lewis

The irony is pretty great on this one. Which one of the three or four active UND threads did you read about it in? Is it the one that has 8,500 posts and over 560,000 views? I agree with you on most of it, but this is the same guy that had two teams inquire to join as affiliated members in baseball, which would have prevented the league from having to get a waiver to keep their baseball autobid, and he refused to pursue it because he feelings had been hurt.

Well, not quite.... (stolen from the twitter-sphere)

With concrete answers like that, it is pretty clear that you are part of the %gobc

Even Brian Jones would have called a timeout crossing the half court line with 6 seconds left.

The first extension in 2012 was the right move. I am not going to defend the second one he gave him a year later. Its interesting that Steve Brekke actually gave him his first extension. Be curious to know where he stands on the situation today.

They were one win away from a dance trip last year. A last second shot and another win two years before. The results are what they are but if you can't understand the realities of the situation, including the financial part of it, then I'm not sure what to tell you. I've stated since early in the season that the leash was likely pretty long from being close to winning the conference tournament last year (and pretty decent showing in conference tournaments the previous two years) despite a lot of other disappointments in those seasons. Expectations weren't high and the definitely lived up to it, though with a lot of closer games than most people expected. Next year is going to be pretty definitive.

Who said he did? He also let him go after two consecutive sub-par seasons after giving him an small extension and a small bump in pay that may or may not have been deserved. Sound familiar? If history is any indication, people shouldn't be shocked that Jones is still the head coach and should understand what next year means for his ongoing employment status.

Faison didn't hire Jones. Other than that, carry on...

Did you miss the part where he gave those right back at the other end? Two ends to the court... The most noticeable quick hooks came after guys threw up garbage 3 pointers, though frankly in my opinion he should have done it more often. You only need to look the rotation/minutes de Rouen and Nash played to see that he would (though not always) pull a player for playing outside the offense. There were noticeable cuts in playing time for certain players because of their play. Hobaugh, while be no means is the most talented guy on the team, saw a ton of minutes. More than I thought he should of at the beginning of the year. But if you watch him play, he plays within the system, hustles, makes the extra pass, etc. If that isn't sending a message, not sure what else you can do. I don't agree with all of the rotations and personnel decisions, but no one ever will.

There is a third place game so if they win this weekend, they play two games in Minneapolis regardless.

But did you put $5 in the jar for your CIT comment yesterday? Nope but if there is going to be a whole offseason of complaints, it'd at least be nice to know that people voiced their opinion to someone who can do something about them instead of hoping someone would read it here.

Bumping this so people can get their actual name on record with someone who can actually make a difference.

Wow....
