I don't think it is the issue it is made out to be. As someone previously mentioned, the speakers aren't pointed down towards the field. They can hear fine in the huddle and there clearly hasn't been much for false starts for UND this year or prior years that I would attribute to the noise.

Bring back the Curious Hawk!

I wouldn't be terribly surprised as I've been saying it all season. The dude runs like a bull in a china shop but he gets dinged up constantly and they have to manage his workload. Will be interesting to see how much he plays coming out of their bye week. ISU-R, @WIU, @SIU and UND isn't exactly the easiest finish in the league and they are going to need him.

Solid hands and a knack for getting open. Different type of receiver than those guys. More like a Belquist type from what I've seen.

Curious if Davis will play. But there didn't look too be a huge drop off with their backup Amar Johnson who carried the ball plenty last year when Davis waa dinged up.

I'd put Pete's Za and Boss's (and maybe Marco's?) all in the same category. Good, not great, but you won't be upset with choosing them. Crooked Pint is also serving Green Mill pizza again, which while still good, doesn't seem to be quite as good as I previously remembered.

You'll get a bunch of varying answers but Half Bros/Up North/Rhombus would probably be your best bets. I'm sure people have varying opinions on those but they consistently seem to be the top choices. Slapshot/Deek's/Poplino's if its late and quality isn't the top concern. Probably even more opinions on those 3.

Wasn't UND one of the first to offer FCOA?

A little? It is hilarious watching how far of a reach it would be to actually consider some of the names that get tossed out from those two fan bases all to not have to say USD or UND. Edit: And this isn't to say that I think UND is going FBS. But they are well ahead of some of the other names that get tossed around (and have already moved or are in the process). And I don't rule out a regional-type scenario where a group of nearby teams find a way to move into the G5. Obviously not allowed given current rules, but the only thing constant is change. And based on geography, it might be the most attainable scenario.

They do. You can do it right from the app or website, right next to the Transfer and Sell buttons.

The original Dixie State game was scheduled prior to the Vegas hockey game being scheduled. However there are only so many dates they could work around for Vegas due to arena and opponent availability. When Dixie State had to redo their schedule and backed out of the contract, they tried to get a game this weekend instead of in 2 weeks but were unable to find anything that worked due to it being so late in the process. The only positive part is that instead of a home/home, UND is getting a fairly cheap "buy-game" at home to replace Dixie State.

They still do but I believe you must be 18 in order to work (so youth groups are out) and you must have a valid certificate from the City of GF to serve any sort of alcohol.

Both Sagarin and Massey have them better than Arizona, so at least there's that?

Or they are having a harder time staffing what they do have. Jobs like that are very part time and plenty of people used it for some extra discretionary income. Post-covid, it has become harder and harder to find people to fill the need. It is an unfortunate reality.

The football game was on 96.1, they moved hockey to 100.3. Not that you would actually bother to try to get anything straight, much easier to just complain about literally everything. At least Hoos is polite enough to run guys over while they are looking at him instead of plowing into a defender being blocked. One of those is actually worth getting excited about, the other gets the media all hot and bothered in Fargo. Largest in the conference at least?

If they feed him 20 times a game, he'll be done before the regular season is. They have him on a pitch count, if they don't he'll get dinged up again like he has shown the propensity to do in the past.

Yes, they are marketing for the hockey game this weekend. I would fully expect them to do the same for football when the time comes. If they don't, criticism will be justified. But right now, people are complaining that they aren't running the same promo as hockey when they literally already have it planned along with the year-long Jr. Champions Club and the Military appreciation. I'll give them a pass for not running anything "special" for the home opener/Potato Bowl and Homecoming. Those games typically have solid turnouts and you can only discount your product so much before those that are already paying for it start to question their investment.

Junior Champions Club gets a flyer with that information when they sign up. Along with being released at the start of the season, all the promo ticket stuff is shown on the Football Ticket information page on their website. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/2022/8/2/football-promotions-schedule.aspx If it is anything like the past, they will advertise that each games promo the week before and week of the game, exactly like they did for hockey. And if anyone bothered to take a look (hint: they didn't), they are offering 4 tickets for $20 and up to 5 add-ons for $5 each for the football game against ACU for Youth weekend. So just to be clear, the marketing staff already had the exact same ticket promo in place that is being advertised for hockey (just cheaper). And no, they aren't going to actively market it a month ahead of time when there is still a home game in between. But I would guess there will be more than one announcement of the special at the next home game.

Where have you seen any indication that it is? EWU's finances as an institution are a mess and have been for a while. Their previous president didn't support athletics, which I would assume is part of the reason he left there. They have done studies about dropping athletics or down to D2. Despite some funding challenges at UND, they are not in the same place.

If they aren't then they are going to have a nice quality win or two to offset whatever loss would be left on the schedule.

Surprised we didn't see a few people try to blame Kostich....

My thoughts are regardless of what decision was made, it was a billion times better than Petrino going for the XP when down 18 and solidifying it as a 3 score game. I know there were just under 2 minutes left, but why bother with an onside kick and then also burning your last timeout after you didn't recover if you've thrown in the white flag?

The defender is closer to the line of scrimmage than Tommy is. Plus MSU's 6'3", 250lb DE is crashing from the side which removes any sort of 1 on 1 move Tommy could have tried. Throwing this ball away was absolutely the right call. He bought a bit of time to see if anyone could get open and then got rid of it.

Starting to think the reason we can't have nice things is because there's people that actually don't want them. They'd be lost if they couldn't sh*t all over everything. And there's a difference between understanding the team didn't play a perfect game and has plenty to work on vs. some of the dead horses that are continually beat around here.
