    Using the Bison Report Radio as the lead in voiceover is absolutely spectacular. And there was so many more soundbites that they could have used on the video.

     

    COLD!  Now, back that swagger up on Saturday!

    Is UND really now supposed to be called "The UND"?  That's almost as retarded as when the University of South Carolina went from USC to UofSC and the last I heard has returned to USC.

    Don’t use that word.

    Hyslop has more asbestos than a WWII battleship engine room. And the pool is leaking. 

    Walsh was in rough shape in the late 1980s. (I was an RA there for more than a day we'll say; I saw parts or Walsh that still give me nightmares.) Bek and Hancock were outdated. Squires was vintage between the east and west halves of Walsh. It was showing age in the late 1980s also. West and McVey needed placing. About all of housing, kids today do not want stucco walls and asbestos tile floors. 

    Memorial Stadium should've been condemned and thankfully has come down for MVI, which ushers in MVII and Albrecht Field. 

    And pick your other eyesore: married housing west of West; Strinden Center; Conference Center. All needed a date with a D9 and got it. 

    I'm sure some of the decisions are based on compressions, footings, and water table. Many building that have come down were vintage 1960s and early 1970s when construction technique was lacking and energy efficiency was unheard of. 

    I'm not sure what to say about the CF Auditorium beyond replace the (dated) red velvet or replace the facility. 

    Merrifield and Twamley are getting renovated. 

    UND had half a billion, yes, $500,000,000.00, in deferred maintenance on the books when Ed Schafer arrived. He went with reality and not nostalgia. Kennedy finished the task. 

    University Ave looks different today to me.

    Different but better. 

     

    Thank you for taking the time to write this.  Agree 100%. I was in many of those buildings 25 years ago and they stunk (literally), heat wasn’t great, AC was non existent…etc. etc. etc.

    So your decision is to go from sunshine pumper to the "you're old" comment.  I will always be a Fighting Sioux fan, while you'll always be a fan of Mike Hawk.

    Now that you're showing your age, just know that some of us... maybe more than a few may just have banged your mom if she went to UND.

     

    This message to me explains a lot:

    Trump lost.  Vaccines work.  Go UND Fighting Hawks.  Let’s take this private.  Thoughts on things I’ve said?

    Go UND.
