UND1983

Albany AD: “We felt like if we could make the playoffs, we needed to do whatever we could to reward our team and our fans with a home game,” Benson said. “I thought we put a very strong bid in to host in the first round.” https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/UAlbany-football-gets-home-game-in-NCAA-playoffs-14859219.php

If Chaves is too incompetent to know that at least one team, Nicholls, bid 80K just last year than we are worse off than I thought.

Did Chaves go "toe-to-toe" with the other athletic directors? It's quite apparent that the fans on this board are more than happy with putting in a satisfactory, competitive bid and not going all out to win. There was ONE CHANCE to get a home game this year and he screwed it up. That's undeniable.

Obviously the bid wasn't very competitive because we lost. We were competitive out in Idaho State too I guess.

You are not addressing the issue. I don't care about the game itself right now. I am pointing out all the factors that seem to be popping up as to why Chaves skimped on his bid and got beat by a regional Southland school. Hockey in Minneapolis seems to be one, which to me, is a major issue if true. And I think it is true.

So you are saying that Hockey in Minneapolis was a factor in Chaves hanging the football team out to dry. Because Thanksgiving hasn't changed in hundreds of years so that's the only variable I can spot.

Wonder if UND put in a "calculated" lame-ass bid to host the regional at Scheels Arena in Fargo those years?

Met him. Doesn't mean he didn't go chicken sh*t on this issue. It was his real first chance to show that something other than hockey matters and he didn't do it. It's the F-CKING PLAYOFFS, a once in every 3-4 year chance to host a game and he didn't go all in in. He put in a calculated bid - that's not doing whatever it takes to support the program. So now they need to fly to Timbuktu and dress in tents.

I would love for the AD to underbid a hockey event and lose. Wouldn't ever happen but it would be interesting to see the reaction. Great way to help build the football program - they make the playoffs and then proceed to lose a home bid to a regional Southland school. Really got all hands on deck!

So is Nicholls "authorized" to come in higher than 50K by their University? Where did that stupid number come from?

First off, eat a fat bag. 2nd, he knows what bids go for and have gone for in the past and still came in under.

Chaves should be embarrassed and reprimanded for such a pathetic bid. 75K.....WTF?

Saw this on twitter. Would be great if Siouxsports members rallied behind this and really upped their donations this year!

k bye.

They wouldn't get charges if they were any good at going to the hole.

We can't score. Nobody can take over and go to the hole or anything.

My condolences to Longtime Fan.

No it's not that. We were going to be with SDSU or NDSU regardless. Nicholls is the outlier team that was going to travel somewhere.

Where is Longtime Fan at? Pissed we won I suppose.....

You can only hope.

UND 34-18

Chaves said on 360 pregame show that he did bid for a home game.

I am willing to give Sather at least 13 seasons to show us what he's made of.

UND is up 31-25 at half but it's ugly. They are 2-18 on three pointers. I know Keplin is a gunslinger and will be good but she may want to dial it back a notch as she is killing them right now. 0-7 today in only one half of play. She was 1-6 vs Valpo.
