    2013 season

    Same as any other position, next man up. WR is the one spot on the team where depth is more than adequate, there will be some real good playes fighting for playing time.
  2. Looks like Notre Dame Prep in MA.
  3. He was originally a 2013 recruit but pushed himself back a year and is playing at a prep school this year.
  4. Not sure if it was officially put on here, but it looks like Jarvis Garrett officially reclassified to the class of 2014. We offered him a while back as a class of 2013 recruit. He has offers from Creighton, UW-GB, UW-M along with a handful of other mid-majors (all per Rivals) plus interest from some other bigger schools like Marquette, USC, Oregon St, OSU, Indiana and LSU. Looks to be a long-shot at this point.
  5. You can do better than that Dan. Storing e-mails in the trash folder? If only there was a feature that allowed a new folder to be created where unimportant e-mails could be stored. I will agree that it doesn't look like his intent was malicious, but it still doesn't make him look all that great. Anything Carlson can get on these guys is just ammunition for later, regardless of how small it is.
  6. First, your sentence makes no sense. Second, yes their is a list. I'm confused how money is being extorted? No one is being forced to buy hockey tickets. People voluntarily give the donation for the right to purchase tickets. I suppose UND could just figure it into the price of season tickets and they would be that much higher. But people probably like the tax donation aspect of the way it is done now. Regardless, I suppose you have some extra time to discuss it considering its a 100+ degrees down in Phoenix. Too warm to be out by the pool.
  7. Yes. Very valid comparison..... Feel free to not give the donation to have the right to purchase tickets. There is literally a list of a people waiting for the opportunity.
  8. From what I understand, UND is working with Nuelion to ensure that more resources are allocated on both ends to provide a higher quality. Whether they are able to actually provide that and handle the traffic is a huge question. What the Big Sky has is great. The biggest problem I had with it was the large variance in quality depending on which school's feed you were watching. I believe that Fullerton made a comment about setting a minimum standard for webcasts league-wide which would help with that issue.
  9. Pretty nice that a strong-arm fee is 80% tax deductible. And yes, if you want to argue that on a ticket by ticket basis, DU are more expensive. But part of that reason is there is no required donation to get those tickets. So overall cost, UND's are more. And not sure how you can argue you don't have to "pay the strong arm fee"? UND has a waiting list with people that are more than willing to pay it, so clearly if you don't, someone else will and you won't have tickets.
  10. There is no transition, UM and UW joined a different conference as did UND. UW will be back on the schedule next year, though I don't know if we travel there or they travel here. Knowledgeable fans should be excited about Miami and Western Michigan, they are two quality programs along with SCSU/Duluth/Omaha at home. Not hosting Denver this year will be a bummer, but it would have been a slight letdown anyway without Gwoz behind the bench for them. I expect the Ralph to be sold out for pretty much every game except maybe one or both of the exhibitions. There are no games over Thanksgiving or Christmas break so the students should be at every game this year.
  11. It is unknown whether or not UND would have had the same deal with FCS as the contract was up this year. I doubt the deal with FCS was worth monetarily for UND while the Midco deal actually has some $$'s behind it..
  12. Not entirely sure that is accurate. Yes, the NCHC is the ones that deicded schools can't have their own "national" TV deal, but that was because of the limits of the deal that CBSSN put in place. The NCHC agreed to the terms so they are partially to blame, but it is a pretty safe guess it was CBSSN terms that limited it and not the idea of the NCHC so they can't exactly deflect all the blame. But if the conference wanted a national deal for all teams, it was likely the best option.
  13. Where are the B1G logos going to go??
  14. The ticket staff at the REA has gotten through current season ticket holder requests and has moved to fulfilling some of the ones on the waiting list. Sounds like the renewal rate was extremely high again (no surprise).
  15. Good place. Don't forget its 21+ though (as is JL Beers and Parrot's Cay).
  16. Any idea what the parameters or cost for that deal was? NDSU has gotten some good games out of it, though the majority have been on the road. Wondering how many of those they would have been able to get on their own and if they think it was worth it.
  17. I believe the OSU/ND games are part of their early season tourney from the group they signed with (Gazelle Group maybe?)
  18. This is exactly why you calling for someone to be arrested is a little ridiculous at this point. There are a lot of unanswered questions out there. -If Brescani did delete the e-mails, there should still be back-ups of them and once those are found, it will be easy to see why he may have done so. -If he didn't delete them and it was a system purge of some sort, again, there should still be back-ups of them, and a log file of that happening. -If for some reason there are no back-ups or log files, then you are opening up a big can of worms of why someone on the backend would either on their own or by Brescani's (or someone else's orders) delete the e-mails, the back-ups or log files. Again, these questions shouldn't be too hard to come up with actual answers to and will more or less show exactly what happened and why.
  19. Let's hope we don't find out... I think the young energy in the new coaches will go a long way.
  20. As a private school with their academic reputation, admission standards, the tuition they charge and endowment, not all that surprising.
  21. It prevents a free agent like atmosphere. And the rule protects smaller schools. If somebody is a late bloomer and ends up being a steal for a low or mid-major, not having that rule would give the high-majors open season on those players. Not sure what you mean by the switching divisions thing. If a player transfers in any other sport within their division they have to sit out as well (barring certain waivers by the NCAA). If they move down a division they usually don't have to sit out. Not the case here.
  22. I don't think it should be a surprise that they have access to it, that is pretty common with any employer. The access of it on multiple occasions is somewhat questionable though, depending on who was doing it for what purpose and whether that purpose was actually within the employee's job scope. If they accessed it to fulfill the open records request, is that really all that surprising and would Brescani have to be notified (not sure, actually asking)? A completely different issue if someone was on a fishing expedition though. Regardless, none of the above really explains why 45,000 e-mail all of the sudden disappeared.
  23. Calcaterra will have 2 seasons of eligibility left (2013-2014, 2014-2015) and Tyler will also have two left after redshirting this year (2014-2015, 2015-2016).
  24. A video of when the police showed up at his place of work because he was sending threats to ND legislators (under a fake name of course) would be fun to watch.
  25. I ended up bolting mine to some 2x8's and then using L brackets and some heavy-duty shelf brackets to reinforce the legs with the 2x8's that go flat on the floor.
