UNDBIZ

I've been a defender of the student section here, but last weekend was embarrassing and has convinced me to make a move. Turn 214 into season tickets, leave the band in 212, and have 211, 212, and 213 as the student section. Section 213 is still good seats behind the opponent's bench and will be where most students (not including the band) sit. I like the idea of having the band in the heart of the student section should 211 ever actually fill.

He has no options to move up.

Haha, solid find.

I wouldn't even bring in Staben and Rosowski. Marley wasn't good enough for Arkansas-Fort Smith, Arkansas Tech, South Dakota School of Mines and Tech, or Idaho State, so I dunno why he'd be good enough for UND. The current Chancellor heavily influences my opinion of Armacost and other admins from the military in a negative way, maybe he can change that? Nichols and Tikalsky seem good so far though.

Twitter isn't this board.

Nichols' degree (FaCS) isn't going to garner a lot of academic respect, but it seems she was a good president.

One thing about Tikalsky, I get the impression he'd be applying for new jobs within a couple years of getting here.

I haven't been able to find anything that would make me uncomfortable with Nichols prior experience. Sounds like she was a good president at UWyoming who turned around enrollment, was liked by the faculty and students, and then was let go by the board without cause. It does seem the board may have been upset with her for sticking up for the University when the board reallocated a LOT of money from academic departments. Tikalsky was a finalist for the last U of Idaho opening as well. He's discussed a bit in this thread on the Vandal's board. They were disappointed when he withdrew his application. https://247sports.com/college/idaho/board/103901/Contents/presidential-search-5-finalists-129544464/?page=1

Rosowsky out of Vermont also gets a no. https://vtdigger.org/2018/04/24/uvm-faculty-votes-no-confidence-provosts-actions/

Yeah, we don't need to be right-sized anymore, that difficult work has been taken care of. Now we need a builder to work from the new foundation to create a better UND. Pass on Staben.

The nickname was also supposed to be unique to ND. Committees, eh?

Good call.

This is why you schedule a 12th game. I don't think there's any worry at 8-4.

Izzo and crew are already pushing for quality losses to be the deciding factor this year. 2015 all over again.

This tasted pretty good yesterday.

Not feeling good about this one. MSU 37 with 300+ rushing yards UND 35

Money and power

Never know who's going to show up in Thursday games

With the 3-4, it's pretty rare to actually only send 3. Those OL often need to be prepared for 5 rushers. So I guess I doubt the double-team is the issue here.

For someone who doesn't pay enough attention to other teams, why is SDSU expected to fall off the cliff?

Are those the caffeines?

Good call. I'll concede.
