UNDBIZ

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.

So any news on the coaches out there? Are/should the coordinators/assistants all be comfortable in their positions?

SHSU - 98 ndsu - 3

Except Kentucky's stadium is outdoors and the seating doesn't appear to consist of whatever leftover colors were available from the construction of other arenas.

1-1 going into the 3rd USA goal was by Trouba from Galchenyuk

FINAL USA - 8 Germany - 0

7-0 USA with 11:24 left in 3rd Miller unassisted

6-0 USA with 12:05 left in the 2nd Hartman with the goal, I missed who got the assist Germany isn't very good....

5-0 USA with 13:27 left in the 2nd Gostisbehere from Jones

Galchenyuk-Kuraly-Barber line is owning it.

Barber from Galchenyuk to put USA up 4-0 less than a minute into the 2nd

Do we work in the same office?!?

To be fair, this happens in every college town, even the bigger ones. For example, several weeks ago a few drunk gopher hockey players unlawfully entered the houses of some of their neighbors. They didn't steal anything, they just made a commotion and tried to get the people to party with them. The residents weren't amused and told them to GTFO and called the cops. This just angered the gopher players, who then began shouting threats of violence at the residents. The cops sent the gopher hockey players home and no charges were filed.

Meanwhile, in Australia.....
