Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, there was absolutely a "field level" suite set-up a few years back. It was somewhere between the goal line and the 15 yard line on the home side set back against the stands on the south end of the field. There's definitely no room for end zone suites on the south end, maybe you could squeeze one or two in on the north end somewhere. I'm all for figuring something out with the catwalk. Like was previously mentioned, they tried to do something with the "Peterson Porch" idea, but I don't think that has worked out quite as well as planned. I know some people who rented the corner area for a game last year and though it was fine but again, probably didn't work on the way they had hoped. It does look like you can buy tickets in the south catwalk now though. $50/game, which is a lower price point than what they tried selling the season tickets for.

While they are still taking into account whatever preseason info was fed into the calculations: #10 in Massey (+1) #18 in Sagarin (-8, Nebraska getting boat raced and UNI losing by 16 didn't help) Massey predicts a 30-28 loss (47% chance to win) Sagarin says SIU is 1.32 points better than UND and then add 2.11 for the current home field advantage.

9 yards for 3 carries in the 4th quarter. But yes, he will power their offense. Of course that's assuming he can stay healthy which he's had a problem with in the past. There's a reason they limit his carries in quite a few games both last year and this year.

Yeah, upset down in Tucson and the Bison lose their Super Bowl.

Arizona is halfway to an upset...

9-9, 100 YDS and 2 td's to end the game. Good thing they play all 60 minutes. Tommy f'n Gun. Some of the live commentary on this thread is really something. The amount of people who seem to get some sort of joy at the first sign of any struggle is wild. Not sure if people enjoy being miserable or they are excited to pound their chest about your past criticism. There's a difference between being frustrated and wanting the team to be better and some of the commentary but to each their own I guess. Regardless, wasn't anywhere near a perfect game (and no one is going to pretend it was), a whole bunch of officiating went against UND yet they still pulled it off against what appears to be a solid team, from behind, on the road. Those last two things were what was missing last year. I'm going to enjoy the W, hope everyone else can for a bit. We can complain about what SIU might do to UND next week sometime tomorrow.

They tried that already. Flopped because you couldn't see anything. The catwalk suites idea is kind of fun, but not a chance it is wide enough there to pull it off. There's already a bottle neck trying to get through there before the game or at halftime.

Hopefully sooner than later. I'd guess it will have some bodies for homecoming. But I doubt it's working like they hoped.

Semantics but no. They would have credited that organization if they wrote the check or handled the fundraising. It maybe ndsu doesn't know how do write a press release?

You missed the follow-up where they actually call in the big guns....

They were paid for by donations but it wasn't directly through team makers. Press release said 50 alumni and donors covered it.

Poor wording on my part. Should have said while UND athletics was using that as a primary logo. Any idea what year they put it on the front of the jersey on the neckline?

Football team were the only ones who ever won a championship while wearing it, so there is that...

There are a whole lot of pieces to the puzzle. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2014/1/27/title-ix-frequently-asked-questions.aspx#how

LMAO. What exactly are they supposed to write about people eating free french fries? Seriously, get help somewhere.

What a weird thing to try to troll people about. Can't imagine waking up in the morning and deciding to start my day with such a pointless thing. Turn out was excellent despite some sprinkles in the middle of the event (which don't go well with an industrial fryer). Great community event as always. There has also been 4 football articles this week. A conference look, two insight pieces and a game preview. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/und-running-back-tyler-hoosman-set-to-go-against-former-team-during-potato-bowl https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/herald-missouri-valley-football-conference-power-poll-sept-5-2022 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/after-a-year-focusing-on-aviation-and-rotc-unds-jack-ihry-finds-a-role-on-opposite-side-of-the-ball https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/und-football-week-2-primer-how-to-watch-injuries-and-matchups-with-northern-iowa

Only? No. One of? Definitely. As mentioned, there was open space and it is literally right outside their field. Makes a whole lot of sense to not let it go to waste and keep all the paperwork stuff in line as well.

Eh, if that's the mistake they are going to make, I'll take it but I really don't think there was a ton he could have done differently. He broke at the right time, it was just a poorly thrown pass that threw off his timing. A lesser WR might have still even had it knocked away because he was there. The good news is we won't see a ton of Trey Palmer types the rest of the year (though there is still some talented Wr's in the MVFC). I'd argue the one where they drew the PI was a bigger mistake as it appeared he had the secondary beat deep, but the pass was underthrown. But if there are only a couple of pass plays we can nitpick on with the lack of experience in the secondary and against a B1G offense being run by a Mark Whipple, that's not too bad. As for the OL, a couple injuries and the young guys beating out some older guys. One of those is better than the other....

I agree that it is stupid, but I think we might have slightly different definitions on why. And again, when people are openly railing against a brand, that is a negative. Can it be quantified? Of course not. But you also have all those people that said they were going to quit donating (and still post on social media how proud they are that they still refuse to) because of the name change? I mean, if even a little bit of that is true, then that has to be a negative, correct?

Well, last year the MVFC (and national) champ could only beat what NDSU fans would describe as a below-average UND team by 6. I disagree on this. Happened right in front of me and it almost felt like slow motion. The DB broke on the ball as the throw was made but it was such a floater that it threw his timing off. He still got there (as the picture posted showed), but he had a hard time adjusting to how slow the ball was and was off just enough that he couldn't knock it down. Would have been a huge play and who knows how that might have changed the outcome. And overall still a pretty solid game by a secondary that was missing a few pieces against an OC who has no problem airing it out. Couple other thoughts: Deep passing game wasn't there. Don't think they trusted 3 brand new OL to hold protection long enough to let it develop and they were probably right. That being said, I think the OL played a good game overall. Those will be there later in the year A little surprised they left Smith in after his big gain, but maybe they rushed everyone down the field to not let Nebraska sub out? If not, then I don't quite agree with it, you could see him visible gassed from the stands. Small quibble though There was a lot more wind than there appeared to be. Guessing that had an effect on some play calling and special teams Grant is the real deal. He made something out of nothing on his big run on their go-ahead TD. Guy is going to have a big season assuming he stays on the field Impressive resilience to give up 10 coming out of the half and tie it up 5 minutes later Atmosphere and effort were top notch. Concourse was almost dead silent at half-time. Nebraska fans went above and beyond before, during and after the game. A W would have been the cherry on top, but if they can come out this week with that effort, it will be a good start to the rest of the season.

How about this, tell me how open derision and continual mocking/ridiculing the new nickname is a positive to the University in any way? Or even just neutral? I mean, this isn't the only thing, but do you think corporations and brands spend all that money on marketing/branding just to keep people employed? Some of the commentary on various social media platforms are straight up cringe-worthy as it relates to the SF crowd and their reactions to the actual nickname/logo of the University they "support".

NDSU admin had some really great foresight on paring back their distance ed options/infrastructure. The ability to offer both experiences (and a mixture of the two), is going to continue to be very important to those attending higher ed institutions.

And they moved their locker rooms to the REA.

The proper reaction is probably somewhere between these two....

Top choice of who? And 3+ years seems like plenty of time. No need to re-hash what's in the past, but one of the large pushes for no nickname was so that people could unofficially continue using Fighting Sioux as there was nothing to fill the void. And "a while longer" clearly wouldn't have made a difference with a big part of those who still haven't moved on.
