timing. If I remember the timeframe correctly when the Summit league lost a team or two for baseball and everyone thought it would be natural for UND to join in baseball which would allow the Summit league to keep their auto qualifier spot for baseball and for their other sports as well as they were temporarily out of compliance with NCAA requirements. I think Faison and Douple still had and maybe still do have a strained relationship largely owed to the lies Douple had spread to the media which stemmed from him having to cover for Gene Taylor's lies.

Diversity happens.....doesn't need to be forced or mandated.

Hell. How did I forget Marc Iavaroni and Earl "the swirl" Cureton? I still can't believe they didn't finish in fo, fo, and fo like Moses had predicted. Dave Zinkoff doing the P.A. was the best ever! "At 1 forward, out of the University of North Carolina ,#24 Bobby Jones and at center from Albany State, #11, Caldwell Jones...................................................................................no relation" Different game back then. The 82-83 76ers attempted 109 3 pointers for the season.

They are up to something. The coach is telling players for a club team that he expects them to have a year or two of juniors prior to playing at Jamestown.

Mo Cheeks Andrew Toney World B. Free Caldwell Jones...............no relation to Bobby Jones.

If a guy who has seats on the 50 wants to watch the game from the end zone it's none of your business and the fact you don't like the looks of it on your 13 inch Zenith when the camera pans the crowd is irrelevant. When I buy a ticket and they ask what section I want I tell them I don't care or if I scalp one I scan it when I go in and put it in my pocket and never even check where the seat actually is. Charge less=less revenue.

Are you under the impression that those people that stand there got in free? Most bought a ticket for a seat and chose to stand(I do it every game I go to)

UND Club team was 13-3-1 from what I could tell. NDSU was 4-19-0

In ranking the only sports that really matter and that have a fan following, UND is right at the top of the Big sky conference so enough with the hand wringing. Top Tier Schools Idaho, Montana, UND, EWU, Weber State Next Tier Montana St., Idaho St., The Rest Sac. State, UNC, Portland St., S. Utah *before someone gets all excited....this is based on this past seasons results only

They didn't see anyone turn it over....someone could have just as easily bumped into with their bicycle.

No big deal. He is a "give our opponent credit" guy and then the next second he is "refs this, refs that"

Brad Berry at the Fargo booster meeting said that Ausmus was absolutely coming back. Said he was asking Gage if he had an idea if he was staying or lea....and Gage cut him off and said he is staying.

Nah. We ain't sharing the spotlight with anyone.

Correct. To quote and un named friend of mine, the budgets for womens hockey would make the baseball budget look like a rounding error.

Maybe put him on probation and a performance improvement plan.

Even if you just skimmed the email as he said he did.......you still respond for chrissakes, even it is something like "Thank you for the kind words" or "Thank you for the email".....it is common courtesy to let the sender know you received it.....especially from a former student athlete. I would actually expect him to respond and ask how the former student athlete is doing in his professional career....but that would apparently be above and beyond the call.

I think a good place to start with budget cuts would be to bring in these guys and line up interviews with anyone with V.P. in their title, a title that sounds made up, or any job that any one of reasonable intelligence would question the need for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StIcRH_e6zQ

I think Keaton is in a catch 22, he came in a year early but Anaheim really likes him and they run the risk of him becoming a free agent and losing his rights if he stays.

Berry said he has already met with all the guys with options to leave. From what he said or didn't say I would guess LaDue and Stecher are gone, Schmaltz, Thompson, and Poolman are all 50/50 and Luke, Ausmus, and Poganski are all coming back along with Boeser of course.

Interesting as Bubba was in Fargo today and said Luke's MRI was this afternoon at which time they will determine if he needs surgery, rehab or both?

Derek Forbort is the only one I can think of.

Tomek just sat out a year so if he transferred he would be out another year unless he went back to juniors.

Not sure I agree with Boeser/Schmaltz take. I think Boeser has a more dynamic game and he was certainly able to be dominate against college players as was Nick. The difference I saw between them that would tell me that Nick is slightly ahead at this point was how their respective games translated against elite players at the World Juniors this year and I think Nick certainly looked more comfortable in that setting against elite players as Brock sometimes had trouble finding open space and getting his shot off. Just my opinion and I think that staying would not hurt either one of them. If Stecher gets a max contract offer as a free agent it is probably in his best interest to sign now and I would wish him the best as he has gave UND everything he has for 3 years. For the drafted guys, Keaton, Poolman, and Ausmus it really comes down to how much the teams with their draft rights value them and the relationships they have with them currently and if they are worried about them going the free agent route. All 3 would definitely benefit from another year of college. Of the 3 I would guess that poolman is the biggest flight risk due to age and Keaton should stay partially due to his young age.
