NDSU will return everyone on O except Vaadeland, Crocket, and maybe Vraa, who will have a 6th season if he wants it.
On the other hand they will have 2 new ends, 3 new linebackers, and two new safeties. That said, the deck is stacked and UND will need to find a QB to have a prayer.

Bismarck-Mandan will also pass Fargo. 15 years Williston will pass or will be pushing Fargo for biggest city. Housing will expand much over the next few years. Retail will explode in the few years. Then more manufacturing. Maybe a pipe dream but I think not.
Williston has two retail development both over $500 million. That is besides Menard and the convention center. 15 years Williston will be bigger.
Fargo's growth is accelerating, and is already higher than williston/watford by a considerable margin. Most importantly, it's not dependent on commodity prices. FM has a 200,000 person lead, even if you hold it's population constant, you would have to add 15,000 people a year to the williston/watford area. Fargo's growth might be pushing 10,000 people a year, right now. (6700 last census estimate) We'll see when the next batch of census estimates comes out in the spring.

Construction starts on Williston Crossing development, a 535 acre area that is being developed as an mixed use part of Williston.
This article compares Williston's development to how hot the Houston building market is.
that development could use a parking ramp and more buildings. At least it's plenty dense.

My position in the club is keeping the grunts (you guys) supporting the teams
you're sure doing a great job of it.
-
without the club you can guarantee the new ralph would not have been built
that's what started the whole club
is when the PC tried bullying the UND around
we had to get involved
If I could, I'd take the Old Ralph in a heartbeat.
Just to make sure, you got involved to keep the name and almost buried the athletic department in the process? You guys really aren't a positive contribution to Grand Forks.

we aren't a masonic organization but we compare our self to one.
I don't think any of the good ole boys have time to do masonic parties
we have anough on our plate running the town
take running the town off your plate then, we don't need it and you aren't doing a good job. It's a win win.
-
Oh and I'm not sure I would be bragging about running the AD. You guys are doing a piss poor job of it.
-
what happens when you take the oil out of the engine?
after a while, oil turns to sludge. That's what you and your buddies are. You're leaches, and drain on the entire area. Get lost and stop running UND into the ground.
Last I checked, Fargo has lower crime rates than Grand Forks btw.
-
anyone care to identify gfhockey's scumbag good ol boys? These people and their businesses should be boycotted.
-
AKA "Good Ole Boys"
no !@#$. Incompetent clowns with more money than sense.

Folks, simple reality:
Progress is good.
Monstrosities like this poseur 'gfhockey' and his delusional "old boys" are what will make Grand Forks probably not a top five city in the state in my lifetime. (Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, Williston, and either Mandan or Dickinson ... or both).
Grand Forks needs to fix its "Eeyore" attitude. GF is sure what it *can't* do. There is nothing that Fargo has that Grand Forks doesn't have also (save for one interstate highway) and it has some things that Fargo just doesn't but they aren't used:
I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Fargo is where it is because it is self-confident to a fault; Grand Forks is self-unassured to a fault.
Grand Forks is run by people who's grandparents 'made it' and they are more concerned with keeping theirs than having a dynamic economy for everyone.

I know some love headlines, but reading for depth finds:
OK, so this latest group was below average.
Putting that into perspective, and I know this may stun some, but 50% of all Americans are below the average age of an American.
there are alot of below average students going through UND's law school right now.
last I heard, applications to law school around the country are dropping; that is going to hurt the quality of student that UND can attract.

Not sure what to make of stony brook this year, played uconn tough, lost to 3-0 bryant, played someone I have never heard of last week. Haven't scored many points or allowed many. Marcus coker was starting RB at iowa and was pretty good before transferring for academics.
17-3 stony brook. -
the trope that you can't teach speed is complete crap.

They our rival. Have been and always will be. You are trying to equate some tangible benefit from something that there is no explanation. Its is what it is.
As far as the benefits from THIS game tonight? I think this team is worlds apart from where they were last year. There were very few unforced errors. The inviroment was great tonight. A packed house. You learn alot about playing the game in that type of atmosphere. They learned they can beat a VERY VERY good team.
But to say this game has no significance is either trolling or ignorance. Both?
You yourself say that you cannot explain why it matters. That you happen to care really has no bearing to it's importance.

Fills a schedule slot in a non revenue sport... So there's that
yep, that's a good one.
Winning the conference is all that matters. OOC just fills a slot and adds some modest revenue.
-
Do you live under a rock or just stupid?
Really? So what does this do for either school, aside from nothing? Maybe establish some confidence?
-
that's how we the good ole boys like
large enough to be a city
small enough we can still control
not my fault you never been at the masonic temple on a firday night at 8pm
You apparently don't get that 'good ol boys' is a term of disparagement for incompetent clowns who have power for reasons other than merit.
You know, like Grand Fork's good ol boys.
-
Bison coach said it was circled on the calendar dumbass
and again, it means absolutely nothing and has zero significance to either team. You are apparently new to the low-mid major scene.
-
Its their biggest game of the year. They win this one and the rest is gravy. UND cares about making NCAAs.
This game is of no importance to either side.
-
We are their ssuperbowl, we are their goal for the year.
this sounds like the excuses NDSU makes when they lose.
Has anyone actually been to benson bunker? I haven't but it looks interesting from what google brings up.
-
Boy, for a guy who has accused me of putting words in your mouth, you sure do the same without so much as a second thought. Nothing is absolute, however, if academics played such a big part of the recruitment of college football players, schools wouldn't need black-out games, chrome helmets, and 75 different uniform combinations in order to lure star recruits, would they?
the SEC would be an FCS conference if academics mattered. The aviation angle is advantageous though due to it's uniqueness. Who else has aviation and d1 football? Oklahoma and Purdue if I recall?
-
This is a very good point. Tim Brewster was the best thing to happen to FU and Craig Bohl. With Jerry Kill in charge of the Rodents, that gravy train will pretty much stop.
Just because Kill can actually coach does mean they've gotten any smarter about their own instate talent, they still way under recruit their own state. UM has 31 in state players and Wisconsin has 48, with basically identical demographics.
A better UM might even be good for NDSU, because they would recruit better nationally and leave marginal talent to the Dakotas and UNI.

I'd love it if they would redevelop around island park. The northeast and west sides a hugely under utilized. Some 5-10 floor mixed use and you'd have a place that I would love to live. The area west of downtown should be redeveloped as well, having salvage yards in the middle of town is a huge waste of valuable land.
Most importantly, Moorhead needs to move the Crystal Sugar plant. It hems in the entire north side.
