UNDBIZ

Official announcement made.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4583674-midco-broadcast-und-denver-playoff-series Midco picking up the series.

And it's spring break.

Just gotta go bigger and shinier.... with a stock ticker running along every wall

Agreed. Hasn't stopped kids from signing before though. Not expecting them all, or any of them really, to sign early, but I could see them doing it.

It had a decent amount of work done on it around 10-12 years ago I believe. Gamble Hall is a dump compared to Barry Hall. UND needs to regain supremacy over the ndac with regard to business school facilities. But I don't think we can expect the state to help much in that fight.

Gamble Hall, while cosmetically and spatially deficient, is still in pretty good shape by state standards. They're not likely going to pay to replace a safe, usable building.... outside of Fargo.

One more conspiracy theory crushed under the weight of truth.

I'm starting to think Stockdamhockey was right about this guy.

I found it interesting that he was hurt and likely done for the season until Scheel got hurt and then poof! He was healed. I have no inside knowledge there though.

I could see Poolman, Mismash, and Thome as early signings. Could also see Adams and Rieger leaving.

Ah, unfortunately challenge grant money can't be used for building projects (anymore).

There's a difference between 1 donor coming in with $20 million specifically for a project and the foundation using some of their undesignated reserves.

You know this? Or is it similar to your knowledge of players being arrested for drinking underage?

Guessing this was one of the calls anyway. These guys don't look real athletic though...

If the state doesn't pitch in (I don't expect them to), the foundation needs to be prepared to step in and fill the gap with undesignated funds.

I don't think Burgum ever recommended matching funds for Gamble.

No kidding. Get this, even if Anchorage had swept UND that weekend, they'd still be last in the pairwise. They're that bad!

I'm thinking the issue is the gopher fans have already put away their Goldy sweaters and pulled out their SCSU and UMD threads for the playoff push.

Even with 2 wins against Canisius, we're still on the road for the first round of the conference tourney for the first time in forever. So the issues do run a little deeper.....

My belief is Berry and crew had about a 1 year championship bender/hangover where a lot of time was spent kissing babies and fundraising. Recruiting was neglected and we ended up with a fall 2016 freshman class that had 1 star forward (who left after 1 year) and a lot of other forwards who either had been left on the back burner for a while or should've been left there permanently. The fall 2017 (one second rounder) and 2018 (zero early rounders) freshman classes were also lacking blue chips at forward compared to prior years. The fall 2019 class is looking very promising and I hope the on-ice results follow.

Getting a team hyped to go against the elites should be easy. Getting a team hyped to go against the dregs....

Pairwise yes, actual play on the ice? Well the defense has been good for the most part. Credit there.
