UNDBIZ

Looking back at the previous games, I see little/no intelligent conversation going on other than perhaps the convos you had with yourself.....

Who's posting the propaganda here? I think it's you and NDSU. Most people do good things without expecting everybody to praise them for it. Apparently that's lost on you and many other NDSU folk.

They've already built a new UND Med School Center for Family Medicine building in Bismarck. In my opinion, Bismarck probably should become a 4-year university though. Don't allow BSU to add any more sports and fund it along the lines of Dickinson. Close Mayville, Valley City, and Williston and reduce Dickinson to a 2-yr tech college.

The Alerus was doing just fine in the early 2000s when the team was WINNING

The Canad Cup

Based on his Twitter I'd assume he doesn't really like NDSU though. But who knows, a scholarship offer can change a kid's opinion of a school.

I believe she's the daughter of the president of the UND alumni foundation so I doubt she's going anywhere.

The picture and Hammer haven't bothered me too much, but Kober is terrible. He starts to make a point, forgets where he's going with it midway through the sentence, and then he just stops talking mid-sentence. This is followed by 2 seconds of silence, after which Hammer picks up the play-by-play again.

Shot selection certainly hasn't helped the FG%

Big target with good hands. Blocking looks ok.

I wish he had stayed the full 4 years.

They just gonna use donated funds for that or are they asking for state $$?

Argh, I have Johnboy's posts on ignore but I decided to view it anyways because I thought "Hey, it's a basketball thread, maybe it won't be so bad...." I guess I couldn't have been much more wrong.

College athletics are money losers for pretty much everybody (if you don't count the student fees and other revenue sources being used to support them). However, they do create publicity for the school and something for students, alums, and potential students to attach themselves to, creating a stronger bond between the university and the community. End result is DONATIONS.

I don't know the numbers but UND's football program must have operated in the red the past few years at least. You can't turn a profit without fans in the stands. If Moo U is turning a profit, I doubt it's much of one, it all depends on the accounting gimmicks used. Speaking of which, do the Montanas' numbers include student fees, state aid, etc as revenue? Also, how do they share expenses (athletic department staff, facilities, etc.) with the other athletic programs?

Says he plans to be a Civil Engineering major. Well we pretty much have guaranteed jobs for UND and ndsu engineering grads in western NoDak.

Except Grimaldi is actually talented....

Lucia sucks. I don't know why he even tries to play hockey.

I noticed the commentator did seem to have a particular disdain for Grimaldi moreso than other players who also made questionable plays....

I think Goehring was 5-8 with skates on.....

The game is against Sam Houston State University, not Stephen F. Austin....

I'd have to assume they'll be much more mobile than an injured Hanson, but it'd be pretty incredible if they're as quick as Hendrickson.

Didn't read it, nobody cares, use private messaging to talk with Darell...

And we're back....

I was mostly just trying to turn the conversation away from where it had drifted. I agree with your assessment though.
