UNDBIZ

WOW COOOOLLL!!! You're friends with people whose dad was a head coach and AD??? That must be so amazing!!

That is a LOT of empty student seats. Hopefully most of those get picked up today.

He's suggesting they add fireworks..... and free beer

Thanks CM

Does West Acres have signs up notifying people to keep their junk in their pants??

What time does tailgating start tomorrow?? Anyone know what restaurants/bars will be there?

No FCS for football this year. The NCHC deal with CBS sports put the kabosh on the FCS deal for hockey next year and FCS never really cared about any of the other UND sports I don't think. The only UND sport FCS is set to cover this year is hockey. Midco Sports Net has all UND sports now and is working to get other cable companies in the region to pick up the feeds. Focus for Midcontinent right now is Fargo (Cable One) but I'm sure they'll try to market it to MSP companies eventually.

I'd guess the AG has filed the charges with the State's Attorney and the State's Attorney has not yet filed the charges with the courts, again, just a guess.

Because Grand Forks has a worse drug culture than Fargo.

Was it sealed with a pipe ceremony?

UND not retiring the Sioux name in 2000 is considered doing some questionable things?? There was no NCAA policy at the time. The alumni (nearly all of them, not just Engelstad) never would've allowed it. Your attempting (poorly I might add) to compare keeping an historic sports nickname to keeping a bunch of criminals who attempted to defraud the state of North Dakota.

That was mostly just me taking a dig at NDSU. If you come onto this board you should be prepared for it. If Bohl would've just suspended them for this weekend's (or last weekend's) game, this would not be getting nearly as much attention as it is.

I think a 1-game suspension for first time offenders is adequate. Those with multiple issues (Ojuri) should be out for 2-3 games minimum IMO. Mussman just sat 2 players for skipping class.... apparently the cultures are different.

Fraud isn't a crime at NDSU, it's something their top administrators take pride in. Wouldn't be surprised to see these 8 players invited over to Bresciani's mansion to discuss future strategy. But in all seriousness, it is concerning that NDSU administrators don't see fraud as a big deal.

I'll be satisfied with +53% completion, 180+ yards, and no more than 1 INT. That, no big plays allowed on D, and run the ball like normal and I think we get the W.

I just hope they don't have the terrible in-game videos of the players chanting to get the crowd fired up again like last year. The videos were embarrassing and usually the timing was poor.

Hmm, that's a good point. Just out of curiosity, what BSC teams have grass fields? Also, anyone have an idea of the quality of turf that'll be in the IPF? Will it be remotely comparable to the new Alerus turf?

Yes, the end plan is to have a second parking garage on the east side of columbia across from Memorial. However, based on how the first parking garage was received, I'd expect/hope for them to attempt to use donated funds for the next one rather than raise student parking fees 200% again. Also, there is a practice field/green space south of Memorial (between the stadium and the train tracks) that could be paved/used for additional event parking, or at least I'm not sure what else it'd be used for.

Usually the away team seats are lower level on about the 30. Sorry, but I'm not sure if that's what you'd be getting or not. Perhaps they call it general admission for that section because it's first come first served??

I believe the tailgating is free to get in, but parking is $5. So if you walk in or catch the UND bus it'll be free.

Any recent pictures?? I hadn't heard about Altru logos....

Watching the video he appears to be quite athletic and comfortable with the puck, but his shot is gonna need some work.

The students (majority) care about hockey. Football, for most, is an afterthought. They aren't going to put forth the effort to search for schedules so it needs to be laid out in front of them. Fifty 10 cent flyers on the bulletin boards really isn't too much trouble and it would increase attendance from the non-diehard fan who just doesn't have anything better to do that day.

As a former student, I believe much more on-campus advertising is necessary for football. My freshmen year I didn't even know about the games until the day of the game on most occassions. Simple flyers/posters in the dorms and Gamble Hall would reach a lot of people.

You're going to come over here from Bisonville and attempt to lecture us on using facts in our comments??
