Smith getting his in early will calm some nerves. There are a few others that would be nice to see right away.

This would be a huge addition to wrap up this class.

I was just writing a little rant on UND not yet having any out about signing day stuff but they just put out a release. Glad to see they are doing the live chat tomorrow again. Better late then never:

Or Gisele told him there was no way in hell that truck was getting parked anywhere near their house.

No, you're required to put your credit card information in up front. There are a few websites that give you a decent idea of the hotel you may end up with. I've used it a handful of times and been happy with the results every time except once and that was more on me than them and was still fine overall just slightly different than expected.

Must have missed that. If so, I'd assume that Meindel would just become the back-up kicker.

Wow did Butler close hard on that.

From what I've heard, he may have been busy dealing with some other matters...

Fluegge is the listed back up for Taubenheim. I believe that Meindel can kick as well, was rated fairly high as a kicker and punter out of high school.

Didn't say it was illegal, but definitely in the gray area. They had to go above and beyond and purchase separate audio tapes to steal the audibles. I have no problem with it. You also ignored the rest of the links. All teams are guilty of stretching the rules.

Condolences to the NDSU family, way too young. Didn't know him but have some mutual friends and they all spoke highly of him.

And now poaching from St. Cloud State? This one isn't even a PWO...

Not a NE fan by any means but wow, let the hate flow... When Shula was signed by the Dolphins, Miami was charged with tampering and lost a draft pick. In 1985, they were caught stealing opposing teams radio signals. They have also been accused of stretching the rules on obtaining and studying audio of QB cadences, in particular, Tom Brady's. In 2011, Chad Henne was quoted about learning the new offense from the offensive coordinator, during a time frame when there was to be no contact with coaches. But keep pretending that Miami is completely innocent. All teams do things in the gray area, not even an argument.

Official UND release on Signing Day party:

The last few years, some of the transfers have been in attendance at the signing day party. Obviously none of the high school kid are there. Has been a good crowd and fun to hear the coaches talk about the recruits.

No news is good news type thing I'm hoping.

Just so we're clear, C is UND violating the spirit of the agreement and being the only school in the nation without a nickname correct?

Quit reading after all the excuses. You don't put yourself in a position to let the refs make those calls in OT. UND had their chances tonight. They roll tomorrow but gave it away tonight. Omaha is for real though.

Is this what the Flickertail faithful thought as well? The only thing that has always been consistent and never changed is The University of North Dakota, not a nickname or logo.

Signing class announced. Per UNDSports.com

Did you miss the part where UND does not currently have a name despite what you want to think?

Agree on the first part and as they say, you are what your record says you are. I do think this team has the capability of being above average and winning a game or two in the conference tournament, mainly because Shanks becoming eligible and playing more minutes (34 last night) has made this team significantly better. But close losses are still losses. Big question is whether or not they can figure it out before they end of the year. Honestly I have no clue. Thought the win at Idaho and 1st half of the EWU game were a step in the right direction. Then a collapse in the second half and letting one slip away at home last night (again).

Curious on your personal opinion on the following: 1)What changes would be needed under the current agreement you would find it acceptable to reinstate the nickname 2)What changes would be needed for UND to actually consider reinstating the nickname

Agree. I've seen a lot more protests/marches/etc about what still remains than what isn't here any more.

You might be more relieved on Wednesday when the faxes start coming in
