I assume Saturdays game you would be able to pick up on Midcontinent, but I doubt you'll be able to find it on Paul Bunyan.

I like the idea of finding if there is enough interest in it. If there is we would have to secure with university if we can even start a fund that goes directly to the football team. After that we probably need to create a non-profit organization with a treasurer ect.. This could be a yearly club that all proceeds would go to UND football. The money would go directly to the coaching staff to be sent as they see fit towards the football program. Again I don't know if any of this is realistic or if there is enough interest but its an idea.

It's academics for Opara. Positive.
He never even 'officially' visited UND. Really odd.
That is odd.
-
I believe they have some scholarship money available, as they appear to always keep some room for things that go on after NSD. And they didn't take a CB, so it doesn't appear as if they can say the position is full.
That makes since. I can't remember if he was a PWO or not but the LB from Texas last year came far after the signing day. I hope that a CB does show up but at this point it sounds like a LB is all they are expecting. Thanks for the info.

Can anyone confirm the Jared Tuilagi transfered to Southern Utah? I've seen stuff about it but never anything confirmed.
-
Kind of reminds me of the Aarin Smith situation from a couple years ago. I believe that was academically related. Of, course with Opara committing the morning of signing day they might not have any scholarship money for him. I would say either one of these two explanations would be the reason for the Opara situation.

I would love to discuss what I think of your son's film; however, I don't know what the rules would stipulate here, but since your son would be considered a potential student athlete or recruit (we don't know if UND is looking at him or not, but would assume so since you made your way here), we might be forbidden from discussing him directly at all with you being a family member. Anyone care to help me out with whether this would be a violation of any kind? I honestly don't know.
God I hope not. I wouldn't think so since we aren't specifying her son to go to a certain school. Anyways the internet is a iffy thing. I mean somebody from Montana State could come on here and totally sabotage us by telling a recruit to come to UND.

He runs hard, gets alot of yards after intial contact I like that also he seems to have good vision. If he had better speed you might see him get some offers. I can't really give you any good advice having only watched a couple minutes of highlights, but if he has passion for the game anything is possible. Some players who play hard can make a career of being a special teams player.

Yes. Being a great leader and being incredibly talented are 2 different things.
Lombardi never played in the NFL. Gretzky didn't have great success coaching in the NHL.

My sources are legit. In fact it has more merit than all of the fire Hak arguments. Funny how nobody has a single thing to say that's an actual argument.
You're right the fire Hak comments are completely moronic. I can understand but don't agree with the fire Muss comments. But the fire Bina comment on Siouxsports.com blows my mind. As far as your sources go, I guess I'll just have to believe you like I believed Manti Teo had a girlfriend that died.

I never said win it as in a title. Win as in a good competitive team that does better than expected in the tournaments. That used to be the standard at central.
The question about the first year they didn't make it to state...... It was recently. Good question ill guess 08 or 07.
How bout instead of questioning my opinion someone come up with any type of counter point. Anything. So far all it's been is 'prooooove iiiiit' and 'says who?'
If you're going to call people out you should have a better argument then "that's what I was told".
-
1998. They lost in double or triple overtime to GPR.
What nd hs team has made the state tourney more than any other team?
I believe the first time was 1981.

Well at any rate I'm not wasting much more time with this. I'm sure Bina is not in this for the money. In fact I know he's not. They said the same crap about Chuck Ness when he coached and I've been told by actual people that went on to play at college and minor pro hockey levels. That Chuck was a heck of a hockey mind but maybe would've been better with college aged players. Either way the schools are getting a heck of a deal on these guys. They don't get paid much and they are there for kids. They don't need some guy repeating on a blog what he heard from a parent after he drank 20 budweisers. Enough said.
-
A good coach can win with minimal talent. Since he's coached at central the only time they win is when they are talent rich like 2010 with Ladue and Johnson and company. In years past central would compete whether they had a lot of talent or not.
Ok, I can't resist I need to say something here. Geaux_sioux, you give me the year they won it before Bina and I'll tell you the talent. Also you tell me the year they should've won it, along with all the talent on that given team.

Tradition and history of it is dying. Slowly but surely. Can't imagine in another ten years that any students will know much about it. Throw another ten years on top of that, and it will be 100% dead.
Maybe in ten years it will be dead, probably not since the schools play in other sports. At any rate it's not dead right now or else you wouldn't be on here commenting about it.

The reason this game needs to be played is tradtion and history. You don't need to dig any further. I watched a documentary the other day on the Michigan-Ohio State football series. I loved it, it made me want to be a Wolverine or Buckeye fan. It's just a great event that is good for both programs. People who don't get tickets for the game are just as excited as those who do. I think this point is being lost with Bison fans. The amount of tickets sold for that game maybe won't increase but the amount of interest in both programs will grow exponentially. People that most days don't care about football at all, will all of a sudden become huge football fans. Chemistry professors that don't know what a first down is will make bets with their counterparts about a sport they don't care about. All that they know is that its pitting school vs school and that's what matters. So in my opinion this is why the game needs to be played.

With all this depth at WR and more real good ones coming. I wonder what the odds are that some of these lower depth WR's become DB's. I see that Romon Bridges had 46 tackles as a senior. I know he's small but if memory serves correctly he's a speedster which may make him a canidate for CB.
-
Who else besides Riddle do we have at QB (or had)?
-
I read he was not going to further his football career and was attending a school in Ohio perhaps Ohio State. I aslo read that NDSU offered him as LB a couple of days ago. Of course I have no insider info, this is completely what I've read from this site.
-
If they are talking a RB in IL we only have one listed on Wiki which is Direll Clark. He's listed as having two offers from Big 10 schools as well as several other offers.I assume its not him, but what a catch it would be if it is.
-
I don't comment on here often but this is the time of the year where things take shape for next year and I like to throw my two cents in. First of all can anyone confirm or refute that Olliver, Tuilagi and Kennedy left the team if so are their any others? I know it was talked about but never had any confirmation on those guys. Second thing is I agree with everyone on Sparks but I also thought Shaugabay looked good as well. Lastly, the secondary was well you know what last year. Does anyone have any insight of how the defensive back field might look next year? I hope to see Butler, Lewis and the Browns, but what about the young guys like Idowu. We need change there in the worst way.

I know what I'm about to say won't be popular but I'm not sure I want UND to be associated with NDSU. It's time to move on to bigger and better things and it's hard to do that with your little sister holding onto your coat tails. I realize that at one time NDSU was our biggest rival but it's time to look toward a bisonless future and build rivalries with larger schools from different states. Just my opinion.
Here are some of the biggest most heated rivalries in all of college football Oklahoma vs Texas, Michigan vs Ohio State,Florida vs Florida State, Auburn vs Alabama, Notre Dame vs USC. They all have become rivalries for different reasons, but the one thing each and every one of these rivalries have in common is history and tradition. Rivalries, as the one UND has with NDSU don't happen over night. Yes I said has with NDSU. Even though UND and NDSU hasn't played in football in seven years its still our most heated rivalry. You can see on the message boards. There is more NDSU people on Siouxsports.com than any other school we're currently playing. Granted I don't think there is as many UND fans on there boards, but if we start playing each other it won't take long for everybody to be back to normal hatred. I remember as a kid going to the games against USD, SDSU, UNC and UNO those four games had a high level of energy. The NDSU games on the other hand had a higher level of energy with massive amount of pent up anger that reached into the stands. That stuff is hard to duplicate.

After reading 4+ pages of opinions which for the most part fall into one of these categories...
1) The nickname needs to be changed now to avoid sanctions and hurt our sports teams
2) The nickname should never be changed because we'll be selling out our legacy and the damage will be minimal
3) The nickname should only be changed after all legal avenues have been exhausted, the teams will have to endure some damage until it reaches it conclusion
...what seems important to me regardless of which camp you are in is the State needs to get moving on this immediately if they're going to take the lawsuit avenue, I'll be pissed if they rock on their nuts for 6 months and then file...then another 6-9 months to their court date...then another continuence...then the trial finally starts in early 2013 or something, this needs to be settled one way or the other ASAP.
I agree 100%

Big Sky came down to NDSU vs. Northern Colorado, they got it, we didn't. At the time, they were doing really well in football, we were only doing ok. Its all good. Their athletic program isn't doing so good, ours is doing much better.
Lik Johnny5 said, 25,000 is pretty well impossible. I wouldn't even venture to say UND has a MUCH LARGER FAN BASE, although having hockey probably does give them the edge, if you do football fans, NDSU is probably going to have more, I think attendence figures will suggest that.
UND is also not really the flagship anymore, kinda 1a. and 1b. sort of thing. That name recognition is the exact same as NDSU's, which is only average. I think most of you can agree with me on that, people from outside of North Dakota get us two schools confused all of the time. I've had people tell me that NDSU hockey sure brought a lot of fans to St. Paul, obviously thats incorrect. My friends have had people say it was cool to see North Dakota do well in the FCS playoffs. Don't try and convince yourself that UND is the next Boise or anything, because neither UND nor NDSU is.
I was not trolling bud, simply said 25,000 seems a little out of the question. 15-18,000 like that one of you suggested seems a lot more reasonable. First things first however, get a team that people want to come watch. Unless the product on the field improves, people don't come watch. I don't know a lot about where that golf course is. Is it near campus?
I agree with just about everything you're saying. As far Ray Richards golf course's location it is straight north about a half mile from the Alerus and across the street at the corner of Demers and 42nd street.

Maybe a cash drive is not the answer. Bemidji State has a golf event every year called the Galen Nagle (a former Beaver player who died of cancer a few years back). The event raises around $30,000 every year and all proceeds go to BSU mens hockey. Maybe we should push for an event like this. That might be our best avenue. Plus it stirs more interest in the program and gets former players together every year.
