Unfortunately, they have continued on what most would deem an unrealistic pace for an extended period of time. It is now realistic until it isn't...

All 3 QB's are already on campus, so that is huge.

Source?

I mean, unless you're driving to MSP, you aren't getting it any cheaper. And even then, it isn't a whole lot better until Southwest releases their flights. A lot to be said leaving from GFK and having no stops, definitely worth it for some.

This is going to be the biggest thing to address.

I believe it was reported that he'll also be the ST coordinator. The previous ST coordinator (who also coached RB's) was making over $200K/year.

Just curious, do you have any actual understanding of what adjustments are or aren't made or are you just assuming? I only ask because I saw them try to attack offenses multiple different ways. Obviously they weren't successful for a variety of reasons, but to make the assumption that they aren't trying new things is a bit obtuse. Zimmer moved a safety to nickel corner beause he didn't have other options. They also made some other adjustments to handle the Saints offense, which isn't a ton different than what teams do every week. It just happened to work out beyond all expectations, particularly considering how poorly Sendejo has been playing this year.

The hold up for Nashville was 100% on the venue's end. It would take some creative scheduling, not sure who's on the schedule and what teams would be willing to move a game, which would likely require splitting up a series.

Intent to injure? Or intent to put a hit on a QB who didn't slide to protect himself? I know you have some personal bias on this one, so I don't mean that negatively, no one wants to see players get hurt. That being said, plays like that happen all the time. At full speed, Clowney went to put a hit a QB who didn't slide. He probably should have gotten a penalty for the helmet to helmet contact but he did catch him with his shoulder first. The partial clip in slow-motion makes it look different than it was in real time. Hope it is not a serious concussion and Wentz can recover. The amount of injuries he's had in the last 4 years are starting to add up.

Omaha was an absolute blast. Target Field would be as well. I don't know how they get the scheduling to work though outside of a hefty check to UND for the possibility of giving up a home game.

And those two years were preceded by early flameouts in the conference tournament (1 win in 3 years). The 2014 NCAA berth was a long time ago, hopefully the team can get back to where they were then. Will be interesting to see how they stack up with the SD schools.

Hotels closer than 10+ miles from the football stadium/downtown area.

What's funny is that the basketball center was announced two weeks before they announced they were dropping football. On top of that, your post was mocked because of how you tried to position Jacksonville's past success in basketball, which consists of a single Cinderella run a half century ago and no NCAA appearances in 34 years. It had nothing to do with them sticking some of the savings into other sports. The ability to support other sports better was a huge part of their reasoning to drop football and no one disagreed with that.

@The Sicatoka @UNDBIZ Can one of you start and move all of this into a separate thread dedicated to specifically to Hunter? Might gain a bit more traction for a young man who is everything we want our student athletes to represent.

UND's staff doesn't request their recruits to make sure they have recruiting profiles out there. Don't have a reason for why 24/7 doesn't bother updating but probably safe to say UND doens't have someone making sure they stay updated. Take those comments however you want.

There will be 4 at least D-1 OOC games next year at home. Going forward, 3-4 is the the similar expectation. This is correct. UND was at Montana Friday and would have got home late Saturday for a Sunday matinee matchup vs. EWU. Meanwhile, EWU would have beat UND to Grand Forks by likely a full day. They flipped the games with EWU and they will be coming here next year.

Yeah...... No. Leaving under his own terms. I'm not even sure his position falls under the athletic department anymore either, though he obviously still is tied significantly to the department. You're not going to find many people who can earnestly talk about UND with as much passion as Brekke can. Will be interesting to see who they can find to fill his position. Sanderson isn't quite ready for that big of a role yet.

I'd put money on the latter but at T-Mobile instead of Orleans. Seattle has been losing steam.

Yeah, unless he broke it three times....that isn't correct at all. The second break came his 2nd season as he was trying to come back after getting hurt in the first game. That's my point on his hardship being confusing, 2011 is the only season he is listed as losing due to injury. https://gobison.com/sports/football/roster/zach-vraa/6271

Broke his collarbone in his first game his RS-Freshman year. It healed up and he was set to come back later in the season and broke his other one in practice the week he was supposed to come back. They both happened in the same season.

Need to account for Penn State's allotment plus any hold backs/complimentary tickets/etc. But I would say its pushing 10K by this point.

Vraa came into college with a 4.7 40yd dash. He managed to shave a few tenths off once he got into college. Not really apples to apples comparing Maag's high school time against Vraa's time after he spent 6 (!!!!!) years in college under a pretty stellar S&C program. Still not sure how he got that 6th year. Redshirted his freshman year, broke both collarbones his second year, then played 13, 15 and 14 games his next 3 years before being granted a 6th year. Unless there was an unreported injury his redshirt year, he got pretty lucky.

Well.......I mean if they might advance some sort of deep state narrative......close enough.....
