UNDvince97-01

I hope you are right. If he turns out to be better than Bradley and Goska, I will be ecstatic and we will be fine...... IF....

How about the business and revenues it will bring to the Grand Forks business community when hosting high school and college events? This is a win for everyone in GF, with the exception of hockey, who has no need for it.

It is NOT cheap either. UND doesn't get a discount, that's for sure.

Hey, you earned it.

I've been told that the normal student ticket allotment was sold out yesterday afternoon. However, they are still giving out student tickets to any who request them. I think this is a good idea in the sense that it creates a more fun and exciting atmosphere within the student section specifically. Maybe that will help make their decision for coming to future games this year. Well over 3,000 students should be in attendance at the game tonight, if what I'm being told is true.

Huh? C'mon homer...

I totally agree. If you are in one of the markets that have options for cable, why not just switch to Midco? That will get their attention. CableOne apparently needs a wake up call. Even if you don't have another cable option, drop them and go with satellite. You will still have the same options for UND sports. Start switching your service, they will start listening.

We wondered why too and weren't happy about it. The game is being played tomorrow. Anything else on that?...

SD Mines is a D2 school. 11/5/2011 Western Oregon @ Montana 32-7 9/4/2010 Western State @ Montana 73-2 9/5/2009 Western State @ Montana 38-0 9/8/2007 Fort Lewis @ Montana 49-0 9/3/2005 Fort Lewis @ Montana 55-0 You were saying?....

10 million from Altru...

Jayson, While some of this is disappointing to the people who will not have the same TV options as years past (FCS on Direct TV, et al), just want you know that I appreciate your willingness to engage in a discussion on here as a member of the UND Athletics Department. You are going above and beyond the call of duty and I think it's safe to say this is very unique. Thank you for communicating with a bunch of arm-chair rubes (myself included). Keep up the great work.

I don't think it's coincidence that Altru is on the turf and Sanford is not. This must have some legs. Ira?

Count me in as one who's frustrated by the current TV arrangement as it seems to be laid out. We are less than one week away from the start of the season and they still don't know what our options will be? They could have avoided a huge headache by having this figured out ahead of time so that people weren't pissed. I have Direct TV out in lakes country and do not have an option for cable, so I'm SOL as of right now. I will be SEVERELY disappointed if this holds true for this year. Guess I'm being selfish.

Seems like a no-brainer. The guy deserves it. He's done a great job so far.

For some reason, I seem to remember the number being $350k as well for the Texas Tech game. Of course, I cannot prove anything. But that's the number I remember. I could be wrong.

I think ndsu blowhards said the same thing about your volleyball and mens bball teams too.... Until they had to actually play the games of course.

Well, I'm hearing Golladay is indeed the total package right now. He lines up right, has amazing hands, blocks well and physically can do it all....literally. If they decide to not redshirt him, it sounds like he would play more than enough to justify it. While I would rather see him redshirt, as long as he plays accordingly, I have no problem with him playing this year if they decide to do so. In the back of my mind, I keep thinking about the red-zone offense and the fits they would give defensive coordinators and corners on the goalline with Golladay opposite Jameer Jackson.

If he gets his shirt pulled, he better catch 40 balls and 4 TDs at minimum. I just don't think it's a good idea unless injuries force their hand. As a total package he's not better than Hardin, McGill and Jackson right now. So why do it? We have depth guys to do what they would ask of him. Again, I'm just a rube.

I'd call that a homerun. By the way, I wanna know who is in the background hazing that poor guy? Really love the ND logo at mid-field behind him too.

That would make sense.

Ummm....this is interesting. Work with me here... Ok, a friend of mine in GF swears he saw WAC Commissioner Jeff Hurd on campus this week. And don't ask me how he knows what Jeff Hurd looks like. All I know is that Hurd is a Minot native and my "older" friend happens to be from Minot originally. Let the speculation begin... EDIT: What a post for #800

Hard to argue with any of this. I certainly can understand your "concerns". Having said that, I think UND is pumping up the passing game because of how consistently inept it had been the last couple years. This will only help them execute their running game and keep teams from stacking the box. I guess I would rather have a team that is more than capable of passing the ball, than not. I do not think for a second that they will get away from their running game. FWIW - UND was 3-1 last year against the Big Sky. This year's team will probably be better than last year's.

Even though I also stand in the end zone every game, I buy season tickets to support the cause.

I think the BSC (Fullerton) would take them simply to lock down the west and get to 16. It would help with travel etc. I think 16 would be the max and is what Fullerton ultimately wants. Whether the Presidents would go for it is another thing.
