Give me an example a College or University that supports athletics that does not have a nickname. There are none. Did the other schools that had to change their name because of the NCAA rulke just go with no name? NO. Because that's DUMB!! Just remember how it worked for District 5. They sucked.. Then they became the Ducks and they were awesome!!!

The view from my recliner in going to be just fine! Plus the beverage selection will be much better than at Scheels Arena!!

Ask Central High School how that worked out for them!!

For those of you who think that just going with "North Dakota" with no nickname is an option, you might as well accept the fact right now that that is absolutely not an option.

How much control over conference games does UND have? I would think that if they had any they would try to do that. My guess is they don't have any.

SiouxFootballInsider @SiouxFootball To clarify for all wondering, I have been told the plan is for #UND QB Keaton Studsrud to start the final three games this season.

FYP

You can take those three wins. The loss on the field to UND will trump all those wins! (Not smack, just reality)

U S A!!!!

Tear down the Hyslop, Buiild a new 7000 seat basketball arena, build a new 25,000 seat football stadium where Memorial stadium is, and build a parking ramp on the east side of University with skyways connecting all of them. Hey, a guy can dream right?!!

But I want an oopma loompa now!!!!

I just did. My guess is they sent to all season ticket holders of any sport. Not sure I want to make myself available for a 4 hour meeting to discuss how to do a process!!

Just banking it away for the new 25000 football stadium to begin construction in 2017!!

Well the NCAA must be pleased that they already have one of their regionals sold out!! How are those other ones looking?!

So how many tickets diid they sell to UND Champions Club members? If their is only 1500 seats left for the other 3 schools, where did all the tickets go?

Hoping for a Denver, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota Regional??!!

Agreed. If Ralph had his way, it would have been a 5000 seat arena with concourses and suites. I

Problem with having them at the ends it it interferes when the bleachers on both sides are partially folded up and all 4 course are used. Only thing that makes sense is a scoreboard hanging from the center. Not sure why they didn't do that in the first place! It is amazing how the Ralph is such a first class facility and has all the amenities, and is considered to be one of the nicest sports building in the coutry and the Betty is lacking on so many ammenities. It should have looked more like what the new SHAC in Fargo looks like as opposed to what they have. I guess it goes back to what sport that athletic department covits more!!

Anyone been to Sweeto Burrito? I was not impressed. 9 bucks for a burrito smaller than Qdoba's and it has very little tast. Needless to say it was the first and last time I will go there. Don't see what all the hype is about!!

Agreed. Most of the Big Sky has pass heavy offenses. That is why we need to be different. Being a run first, clock chewing, solid defensively team is not only important for this week, but for every week moving forward. Have done a great job transitioning to this type of a team this year. The 3rd quarter of the Portland State game is what I want the identity of this team to be like moving forward. Most will agree.

Maybe our new name should be the Feetdraggers!!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/und-football-team-getting-healthy-bye-week Tough break for McGill. He will deffinitley be missed. Hopefully Seibel can continue to progress and have more games like the one he had against Portland St. Waiting for Walker to break out with a big game this season. I think that this week he will have a great opportunity to do so. Good to hear Shaugs is making the trip. We deffinitely need to pound away at the T-Birds this week on the ground. Having a good rotation with Shaugs, Garmin, and Norberg should hopefully keep our backs fresh and wear them down.

Sioux Falls is pretty ideal when you think about it. There are 8 schools within about 7 hours of Sioux Falls (UND, UNO, UM, MSUM, UMD, SCSU, BSU, WIS) and CC and Denver are only a couple hours more than those. So deffinitely centrally located for many fans of those schools to drive to if they make it. Plus, the place is brand new and a hockey team is the primary tenant. Only bad thing is that it will mot likely be chosen over any bid put in by the Ralph.

The students are given a pretty big size lot to tailgate in. They can get reserved spots. That's a pretty sweet deal. I have a reserved spot that it right next to the student lot. Do I feel excluded from the rest of the big rigs up closer to the building? No. Because if I want to go up to Tailgate Village, or mingle with the other tailgaters, I walk up there. I see the point being not by everyone else. But you still have the option to roam around. That's the best part about tailgating. Interacting with fellow fans. Heck, most of the time they will hook you up with food or an adult beverage if you are of age!!

The point is are students just going to these games to drink? If so they can stay home and do that. I thought students went to games to support their fellow classmates and their college team. Students being jaded at officials for "busting" them for drinking at games when its pretty well known that alcohol is not allowed in the student section seems pretty dumb.
