UND1983

Why is the Forum, The Herald, The Bismarck Tribune, 790 KFGO (NDSU's radio station), and 970 WDAY-AM all talking about this subject with a negative slant to NDSU? They all have spent 90% of their time on how bad it was on NDSU's end. Are they ALL against NDSU in some vast conspiracy to bring them down even further than they already are? What is strange is that the first thing out of NDSU fans mouth's was "what about UND, they did it too".

KFGO is discussing the topic again. I cannot believe that NDSU's own radio station is ripping them apart so bad. I thought all of the negative press was was going to end once that radio contract was signed.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in there. Sounds like there will be more to come. It is pretty easy to see what happened during the transition to D1. Chapman HAD to make it a success to show everyone they did the right thing, there was no other choice. So he gave the athletic department and the enrollment office all the resources they needed whether they had the money or not. Athletics were good and enrollment went up with no regard to infrastructure at all. Well, it worked. The transition to D1 was a resounding success. The only problem is now that it

The link works fine for me. There site does that sometimes early in the morning, it jumps around to different links. Don't know why. Look around and you will find it.

That was a precious Rah Rah article Kolpack. My god, get the kneepads off. The difference between NDSU and the rest of the schools around here is that the students/athletes from other schools do all of those community activities, get good grades, etc. BUT DO NOT end up on a police blotter constantly. That article was worthless.

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/275830/group/Sports/ How is this for you? The very next day his own basketball coach comes out and says the games are on. Maybe Gene should actually communicate with his coaches since they are the ones that schedule the games, not him. Once again he just couldn't help himself, he had to take a negative tone with a UND topic and was made to look like an idiot by his own BB coach.

UPDATE:

There is alot of nice

Thanks for the clarification. To be fair, if a UND player gets two felonies I would expect Coach Mussman to kick him off also. One can be dealt with through suspension, hope they learn their lesson, etc. but two is a problem.

So they were suspended for spring ball, that

Thanks for the sentiment but it appears to me there are a whole lot of them having a pretty good time with this. I guess I just don't understand why they would want our name changed and think its funny. Making fun of the UND teams themselves is understandable. Whatever I guess.

Knock that crap off. Grow up and get a life.

I say we just go with The University of North Dakota for a few years until we can get things all settled down. Use the let "U" more in logos, etc. I actually think a big "U" on the jerseys would look cool.

The worst thing people can do is pull their money because of this. I know its a tough time and will be for awhile but hopefully over the summer their will be some soothing time and people will be ready to support athletics no matter what the name come Fall and Football Season. By pulling your money you are only hurting the programs you support. Lets face it, the name has been on borrowed time for years and it was inevitable. Also, don't use the 'wanting to get into the Summit League' for this action. The name was doomed regardless. There is no way you can keep fighting something every 10 years and avoid impending doom. But, after all that, we are still THE University of North Dakota.

Use a tamed down version of that Cocks logo and be called the "Gamecocks". Granted South Carolina uses it but its not as if its popular.

Real Estate Holdings, Realty company, etc. A few other small food/beverage operations I believe.

They have a lot more than just Big D

So you telling us that RFM is going to get more money for advertising during a Bison Basketball game than a UND hockey game? Please explain the facts behind that for us.

It is becoming fairly clear that UND will be on WDAY from now on. Which for me will be just fine, they have a nice footprint for all to listen to. If there is a gap in coverage then UND should go out and sign up a station in that area. This move was inevitable. For UND to be taking the exclusive rights of the biggest radio station in Fargo was strange. It only makes sense that NDSU finally figured this out.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/155609/ Still waiting for that article about his fond memories of his time in Fargo and his emotional ties to NDSU.

Joel H. just had Mr. Johnson on from UND to clarify what happened with their Presidents office remodel from a couple years ago. Basically put, UND

That is an impressive 2nd half they put up. Congratulations on the Great West Championship! If not for that unbelievably hard schedule in the first half of the year they would have ended with a nice record.
