UND1983

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.

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.

Its 80-100k minimum these days to come to North Dakota. Charters are expensive.

Their plans are similar to ours, a master plan for the future. Where the 50-75 millions dollars comes from is another matter. This could be 15-25 years before they build it, like ours.

Right. I will counter that with the fact that every Bison fan in the world would gladly trade the successes of Softball, Volleyball, and Wrestling for a dominant, winning football team

How the mighty have fallen. You just resorted to bragging about Wrestling, Softball, and Track to attempt to win an argument. This is too good, may have to save that post.

I noticed that USD is currently down 60-48 at Utah Valley State with about 10 minutes left. If they lose that means that UND was the only Dakota team to go out UVSU and win. Gotta find positives where you can.

I will be there hoping for a home team sweep!

This may have been discussed but is the Friday night game NOT on TV? I saw it was listed as a Big 10 Network game with Saturday nights being an FSN game. FSN has the Timberwolves on Friday night. Is anybody local picking up the feed?

In a related story: The Betty Englestad Sioux Center will be moving to 48oz serving size for beer to help fans deal with the product on the floor.

I was lucky enough to have dinner with your father at a football function years ago. It was a fun time and I will always remember him as a great man and a great ambassador of UND Athletics!

All around tough schedule, minus the NAIA game. By the time they get to us they may be pretty beat up. Tough way to open a year.

Here is my rant: I know some about basketball, no expert, but have played and watched my whole life. I obviously don

They quickly realized that idea was a bad one. The field would only have been 40 yards long because of the track having to be there too. Terrible idea.

Demolition is all part of the cost. They are looking into seeing how much money can be reclaimed by selling the copper, steel, etc. from the Old Ralph. As far as the YSU facility, I would think UND's is going to look very similar to that with an added turf area on the end for lineman. Also, a major cost of any of these facilities is the exterior. A decision needs to be made on how nice the exterior is going to look because going fancy can really drive up the cost.

From what I have heard, it will be done in Phases because of the fundraising issue. These days money needs to be in hand vs. a "pledge". The first phase would be the track and football field. After that the locker rooms, weight room, coaches offices, etc. would come in the next phase. I would expect that the demolition of the Old Ralph would begin shortly after the new year.

"In 2008-09, NDSU awarded 3,066 waivers that totaled more than $13 million. In a report for 2007-08 for the North Dakota University System, NDSU had $11 million in waivers compared to the University of North Dakota

You have it figured it out pretty well I would say. He is hands down the most obnoxious, embarrassing "fan" of a team that I have ever seen. I know some Bison fans are embarrassed by his actions but they pretty much tolerate him for some reason. He makes their fan base look terrible on every forum he enters, and any blog that relates to UND. Just leave him alone and he will eventually go away, for awhile.
