two words...video.boards.

any way they could move womens hockey to the betty and dig down in the olympic rink and make that bball with nice below ground lockers (connected to the underground level of the ralph) and a concourse level with the main concourse of the ralph?? probably kind of expensive?

unlv played at usd or sdu last year??? use some connections...dale brown....lute olson...these have a lot of pull at those schools to make a one game thing happen...not saying it likely but things can happen if you make them happen...plus most mid majors don't have a 12,000 seat arena with fifty boxes that could be filled if the game is big enough...most play in arena not much bigger than the betty....

i like the talk of moving bigger games to the rea side but really what is a big game??? sdsu, ndac, usd?? come on let's live a little...if we have a facility that can sit 12,000 for bball lets really talk about a school that is a bball school then...lets' get some big time teams to come here...Gonzaga, Butler, Creighton, LSU, DePaul, Cincinnati....a friday night game without hockey in town on a friday or saturday night would draw enough to cover the costs of paying them to come here...heck do a 3-1 if you have to get someone like them to come here... even if you do it once a year...call it the "phil jackson classic at ralph engelstad arena"....once a year...one big time school even bigger than the ones above...find a school that is already playing at u of m one night and make it worth their time to drive the five hours up to play a game the next night??

are there pipes in the concrete at the betty?

jones won't have excuses next year with hooker, crandell, seales, shields, shanks, berenstine, and guys like tyler, de reoun, and cashman off the bench....the talent will be there next year....

he will be back next year and just like huff, anderson, webb, and brekke saved him a few years back his future will be dependent on the skinny legs of crandell and seales...

bball at six...mens hockey on friday/ sat at 8...would give people coming from out of town a little more travel time and time to go out to eat....might see a little more people at bball bc they could go to the one game and walk over and take in some hockey too...

i do think it would bring out a few more students...students love being on the video boards at rea...old people no...but students like that stuff

if/when the bsc expands/contracts i wonder if they experiment with moving their games to friday night saturday night....might help instead of weird thursday night and sat afternoons that they do now. und/ndac-1hr ewu/idaho-1.5 hrs um/msu-4 hours (drive to butte..spend the night get up drive two hours) sac st/ portland-fly 1.5 hours wsu/isu-couple hours if bsc takes schools like seattle, denver, and or omaha...no real travel partners but could play any day of the week or fridays only.... kinda sioux volley stuff here but i still can't used to the thursday/sat stuff...too many friday/sat night games at hyslop in my blood i guess

i'm lazy but how many other bsc schools have video boards in their mens bball arenas...winning and two nice large video boars at the south and north end would greatly increase attendance....mostly winning

only problem with shields in that stretch is yeah he scored six but he also gave up six....

i don't think jones is going anywhere soon but if he was let go wouldn't be funny if the bball program did what the fball program did and bring in someone the past glory days.... like gfhockey would say it bring bak rev richie

sat near bubba and his kid talked back to him and boy did bubba let him have it old school...highlight of the game for me

they need to keep it the way it is with league champ hosting...but if they do a neutral site either vegas or phoenix...warm and direct cheap flights....

maybe the fargo pd will do what the gfpd tried to do and arrest travis stay and try to work the "facts" around what they say the facts are?

shanks didn't show up tonight at all... sidenote...if we can't afford a video screen or two how the hell can we afford to pay at least eight ushers and at least five (yes five) police officers to work every damn game to make the same 1800 people can find their seats and that fans don't break out into an all out riot (at least 90% of the fans at these games either have artifical hips or use some sort of walking aid so i don't see a riot starting anytime soon)? how about one usher at each corner and wow maybe no police force...might be able to get a screen or two up by 2029 or so....

i wish someone at the herald (brad s) would straight up ask this question to faison...and get a truthful answer!

anyone else see the midco minute on recruting where they kept saying fcs national champion ohio state and fcs power iowa and minnesota?

totally agree!! #freejosie

i hope these last few spots to go about 1000 pounds of d-lineman!!

awarri tweeted something like "them nd girls tho".... another advantange over the ndac is the female population is a lot nicer to look at at und than the girls down south...

bennett

then try someone else!! its not hak's god given right or anyones to be a head coach at a school for 20 straight years...try someone else if they suck try someone else...
