UNDvince97-01

And to be clear, I'm not grabbing my pitchfork and torch and trying to start an uprising against Alerus Financial or UND to get it changed. This thread is titled "New Turf at the Alerus". I simply stated that it is my belief that they dropped the ball on it....twice. Then I was told my opinion was deemed "whining and complaining" and that I need to "deal with it" and "get over it". It's not impossible. "Paging Gate City Bank..." Now look what you made me do! Ok, it's the offseason. Will someone snap a football please? And I agree, in the big scheme of things, this is way down the totem pole. But it's a 'talker' on siouxsports.com. I digress. Moving on...

Doh'kay...

No it's not. In my opinion, they have done the field turf twice and have missed the boat both times. If me wanting a UND logo at midfield and "complaining about it over and over again" as you so eloquently put it is too much for you, then again, I guess I'm sorry. I'm not sure what else to say. I'm not asking for miracles here. Just a UND presence at midfield. I understand the business aspect to all of it, I really do. I just don't agree with how it has been handled by Alerus Financial. There can still be Alerus logos on the field with a UND logo, cant there? You can also change them out in a couple years if need be. Like you said earlier, "get over it". I'll try keep my whining and complaining to a minimum for you from here on out.

Sorry if wanting a UND presence at midfield of our home stadium is asking too much for you, Sic. My apologies.

Some of us just disagree with you and want a UND logo and presence at midfield. Get over it.

At least they did the end zones differently this time. This is better than the first version by far. But I still don't understand why Alerus Financial and UND can't get a 'ND' logo at mid-field. Figure it out.

:lol: :lol: Dan, you are something else......carry on.....what a beauty.....

And from the "you cannot make it up" department.......I am speechless.... Good 'get' for FU...

Hell no. I would certainly hope not. We don't need or want that baggage.

I'm not so sure about that. FU as an academic institution?.......meh. UND would be more attractive academically than FU, that's a given. Geography is a wash between both of them. What's that mean? Not sure. This isn't the end of The Summit league raiding. You may consider UMKC "Summit Trash" now, but as a number and member of The Summit, they could potentially look really good in a year or two if another team or 2 leaves for better options. Would you take the former SL conference outlier, Southern Utah back now if given the opportunity?

Yeah, Dom and Vandrovec are bewildered and just can't understand the UMKC deal. They just can't seem to grasp that geography and academics matter, which puts both SU's way down the list. There has NEVER been more proof of that than now. There's an article that says UMKC, Valpo, Illinois-Chicago and Loyola(IL) will get Missouri Valley visits this week: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/03/31/4154451/umkc-to-get-missouri-valley-conference.html This is very telling as to where the SU's stack up in the big scheme of things. At least UND has the academics side going for them. Geography, not so much.

The names "Rover" and "Flyer have been used throughout the years for the safety position on the UND Defense. "Rover" is the strong safety, "Flyer" is the free safety.

Ummm....your first link needs to be fixed.

In this instance, a lot. They are one and the same. Check the payroll.

:lol:

Yes. About a 70% chance IMO.

George Mason leaving CAA for A-10. I've said this for a while now, but this could finally be the window for Youngstown to CAA for all sports. I've heard they have been waiting for a while for this to happen and they make a lot of sense geographically. Thoughts?

Agreed. I experienced that too. It's unfortunate. Some of them try make you feel like you are a failure if you don't go to grad school. Had one professor specifically have that attitude.

Many of those general studies courses were boring and uninteresting to me in college. Some I simply stayed away from altogether because I wanted nothing to do with them. Today I am kicking myself for not taking some of those courses that I thought I would despise and am thankful for the ones I took and hated at the time. There is definitely value there. Some us just come to realize it later than others.

Excited for next season. They will have an even better shot to go dancing next season. Need to win the Big Sky Conference so we can host the tournament.

Uggh. Stomach hurts...

Ya just know a Weber run is in the cards. How do we respond and weather the storm?...

Wow, great start to 2nd half...keep it up now....

Cmon boys, come out in the 2nd half with the same fire. Hope we don't get "out-adjusted" by Weber.

If we have a running game, can protect the QB, and have the QB make the throws.....then yes.
