When i was at the NJIT mens game I was thinking of ways they could get more seating in the Betty. Just wondering if the current "storgage area" at the Betty would accomodate larger risers in the endzones of teh Betty (kind of like the people that designed the storage at the Alerus for the old turf)? Also how high can you go before you have to worry about safety with those taller risers? Sidenote: are they gonna totally redo the court for next year or just sand down the sioux name?The question is why? The betty is going to be a fine basketball arena for UND for a long time (larger bleachers on the ends could boost capacity to about 4,000)....and when UND hosts a larger venued team they can play in the Ralph...or the Alerus for that matter....I watched the Timberwolves play in the Alerus...it was a fine set up for basketball.
Playing basketball in the old REA, if you ask me, is not a good long term solution for UND basketball.

For Cal-Poly, Southern Utah, Cal-Davis and UND those "high intensity conference" games of the Great West (i'm sure you remember those great games in the fargodome too) are over and a new era is starting on those campuses this fall and its called the Big Sky Conference era. Enjoy the "high intensity" of the Gateway and the NCC 2.1.Anyone been to cal poly for a game? I have been. I've seen more intensity at Bismarck high football games.
now back to recruiting talk...think coach luke earned his money this year?

its tough to explain the home/away record considering that most games in gf are pretty quiet with almost no student section that playing on the road would be not much of a factor? the njit crowd was slightly better than some games (i was there) and teh chicago game (didnt get to) looked even better?
hopefully antwi keeps getting some more mins and knock down some shots to go with his good d...yes the big to take a dribble away from their opponent and do a skip pass to the open shooter for the open three.

no one made mr brooks play d1 hockey...much less make mr commodore angry? fighting is a necessity in hockey and if you don't like it watch soccer.
-
pretty sure it was him...he tried to make a slow getaway but gotta love the gfpd they had to get three cops for this one
-
great game from webb and huff...decent crowd also but not much increase in the students tho....sidenote-did anyone else notice a certain ex-player quietly arrested before the start of the game? sad sad
-
anyone know if the bball court is still their old one with the beautiful bbrien logo at midcourt or has that been pc'd to death too?

To get to SUU you have to fly into Vegas and take a two hour bus trip just to get there. Besides that there are no schools near SUU, so you fly in there for one game and then fly out. So yes SUU is in the middle of nowhere compared to current Summit members.
Everyone is ecstatic to be rid of that school, SUU was nothing but a burden on the budgets of Summit League schools and nobody was excited to watch their schools play mediocre SUU teams.
I could do the same with Big Sky btw..Flagstaff, Cheney, Bozeman, Missoula, Greeley, etc. Whoever said that the Big Sky and Summit were similar leagues was right.
So for an 18-22 year old flying into Las Vegas (and maybe spending the night there before or after the game) is a bad thing? Maybe pick up a game against NAU and check out the Grand Canyon on the way (compare that to a trip to Allendale and check out the deserted Pontica Silverdome?)
Mediocre teams? Football team beat UNLV pretty easily this year and if i'm not mistaken their bball team has just as many trips to the national tournament as the AC? Their recuriting will be much improved recuriting to the Big Sky instead of the industrial NCC 2.0 (soon to be 2.1 with St Cloud and 2.2 with Grand Valley State).
You can't with a straight face compare Flagstaff, Bozeman, Missoula, Greeley, Cheney, or Cedar City with the above mentioned NCC 2.0 cities can you?
-
USD is terrible, not sure what happened to that program but wow I didn't realize they were that far behind the other Dakota schools in the Summit. I'm not sure their coach has what it takes to turn it around.
SUU is the same team they always are, mediocre. I think most Summit schools will just be happy to lose that horrendous road trip to the middle of nowhere.
Fort Wayne = nowhere
Rochester (MI i think but not sure) = nowhere
Tulsa = nowhere
Vermillion = nowhere
Macomb = nowhere
Fargo = nowhere
Omaha = nowhere
Brookings = nowhere
St. Cloud = soon to be nowhere
The NCC 2.0= nowhere league?

good crowd up til half of the mens game...but does anyone know why the bleacher seats were removed last night? temporary or permanent move? also does anyone know is the main bleachers can be moved or pulled down closer to the court...the first row is so far away from the court?
-
am i the only one who thinks this game should have been played at hyslop? to only get to practice at rea once this week is totally unacceptable...they could have the floor moved into hyslop weeks ago and been practicing their since...if im not incorrect hyslop sits maybe 6 or 7k? so it would be totally packed and hyslop hysteria would back and it would be so loud the asbestos would be raining down on the court.
hey nd1acfan...marshall bjorklund? r u serious?
-
anyone know if jones or faison is doing a 2-1 to schedule a "bigger" named school to come here like the AC did with Fresno?
also i think jones needs to start w/ one point guard and go with him whether its webb or anderson...like they say about a football team "if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one"
starters?
anderson/webb
huff
goodman
mitchell
brekke
or
webb/anderson
huff
mitchell
brekke
wilmer

remember the ac lost to moorhead this year...
-
watching the georgetown/memphis game...its being played in the verizon center yet i see a georgetown logo at mid-court?
-
small correction...the people of grand forks own the alerus. randy newman is the ceo of alerus i think and if someone could find his email we could get some emails going to him...also could someone with the knowhow find the naming rights agreement and see if it says anything about having to have the in your face alerus logo all over the turf?

This is 100% what the new field should look like. I have a bad feeling that the in-your-face ugly Alerus logo is gonna be plastered all over the new turf!! btw you should send in another pic for the new floor in the Betty...its not that bad as the alerus but it needs some help...If we don't represent our conference by placing Big Sky logos on the 25s, I'll be very upset. Schools much more likely to realign before us display them (e.g. Montana, Montana State). With all the glamour talk about the Big Sky, I find it slightly hypocritical to say we shouldn't display Big Sky logos because we may realign soon after. Here is what I hope UND decides on:
-
if 6k is all might as well have it at hyslop...there is absolutely no home court advantage to playing in the ralph if only 6 or 7k people show up...the meltdown at the ralph was the worst game in the transition years that i have been to.
-
anyone know how tix sales are going for the ndsu game? still kind of wish it was in the betty with maybe higher bleachers in the endzones for more seating...but if they get less than ten grand in the ralph it will be a waste...better not be A MELTDOWN AT THE RALPH PART TWO
-
great game, horrible crowd again, and jones showed how to win with class
any idea how long brekke is out now!!! wilmer better stay healthy
-
if the stats are correct the sioux have zero assists in the first half? horrible
-
tried google chrome and ie....sucks
-
not working for me either
-
if i go to the game wed night and see the same 1100 people there i'm gonna be mad!!! the betty should be packed
-
Am I the only person that would rather have the Sioux go on road and play a FBS team and make some money and hopefully upset them and make a few dollars for the athletic department also instead of infiling that canceled CA game with someonlke like Minot or Montana Western again? Same thing for the Mines game? Go on the road somewhere West and make some money, get some exposure and maybe pull off an upset?
