    I can't believe that people complain about having to tell their buddies where they are tailgating at... It really isn't that difficult. Although normally I'd just arrive with the people I am tailgating with. Send a group text message... Bam, problem solved. Get a super tall flag, problem solved. Make new friends.

    Couldn't agree more.  The lot is not the big.  Everyone has a cell phone.  Text out our location. 

    First Come first serve is best.  It eliminates the problem of people showing up right before kickoff and claiming their spot up front maneuvering between Tailgaters.  Also, it encourages people to get there early and creates more of an atmosphere.

    I believe it is all conference games, home and away.

    and

    All UND home non conference games too. (not 100% sure on this part)

    Except if the game is aired on CBS Sports Network and I think Denver Games on Root Sports(I'm not sure if they changed that rule though)

    And what is it?

     

    I don't know.  I was trying to figure out what the Pricing would be if UND only.  Looks like the All nchc Early bird is the same of the single school pass.

  4. I don't get the outrage.  I wonder how many people would sell something they own for less than Fair Market Value just so everyone can afford it.  They have a product that is worth at least $100/Ticket.  They easily could have been scum bags and required you to also purchase tickets for one of the exhibition games.  Not everyone can afford everything.

    Really? I am with you on the supply and demand comment, but I think you'd be in the minority with it being of lowered interest. These games will be sold out without a doubt and demand will be ridiculous.

    I know I'm in minority.  I just think the games are not as important being in a different conference. Rather go to games vs. duluth, St. Cloud and denver.

  6. Simple Supply and Demand.  I wouldn't be going, little too much for my budget.  I will watch on TV and attend multiple other games.  Personally these Gopher non-conference games would rank about 10th on my interest level to go watch.  If people are will to pay $100 a ticket, great for the university.  Lord knows they need the money.

  7. Maybe this doesn't count because he started his career late, but always wondered how good Chad Mustard would have been if he played 4 years.  Pretty impressive to get a shot in the NFL and only playing 1 year of college.

     

    Looks like i was late in suggesting this.  Didn't submit quit enough.

  8. Better to have a guy less talented 100% committed to the program.  best of luck to him.  There are certain decisions in life that affect you for the rest of your life.  I'm afraid this might be one for him.  Not a lot of people have the talent to get a free education while playing football.

     

    I wonder if Bubba would have allowed him to come back if not for SDSU and E. Washington extending an offer to him.  I feel if it was just Minot St. offering him he would have left it alone.

    I would be baffled if he went to Minot State to play football. What would the point be? If he supposedly is dealing with personal issues, then what is the difference between committing to football in Minot or Grand Forks? Either way, it takes time, effort and commitment.

    I'm sure the kid is going through things, and I wouldn't want to second guess that. But, it also sounds like he just isn't that motivated by football to want to commit to the time and work. And if that is the case, that is fine too, college sports are not for everyone. I considered sports in college and then decided it wasn't for me either. So long as he understands most kids don't get a second chance, and there won't be a third.

    Free Education and less demands playing D2 Football rather than D1.

    If you were to list the top 5 guys you would not want injured/not on roster for 2017 (including Harris and Grady) who would that be?   Grady and Harris surely would be in the top 5 for most, sucks having two of the top 5 potentially not on the roster for 2017 and the season hasn't even started yet, heck practice hasn't even started yet!.  Granted Grady wasn't on roster last year but sure sounded like he would be back and we were all expecting it up until recently.  

    1. Reyes

    2. Harris

    3. Grady

    Not giving up hope on Grady.  Glad we have one more year with Harris next year.

    So you are saying there is still time to drive and pick him up and get him to GF by 5:30 right? :) 

    This made me laugh.  I have visions of a couple of siouxsports.com posters pulling Couson Eddie from Christmas Vacation.

    Throw Griz and EWU in the pile.  Those two are my primary concern for right now. 

    I couldn't agree more with this statement.   Bison fan have alway and will alway be dicks and will never give UND credit they deserve.  I expected a little more from Montana and E. Wash. Fans.

    But... but.. but.. we play the Griz and EWU this year!

    Interesting Stat.  The team with the easiest Big Sky schdule last year was E. Washington and really not even close.  Of course going 8-0 and not playing themselves helps, but samething with UND.

    Team  
    Eastern Wash 0.359
    Sac State 0.422
    Southern Utah 0.438
    UND 0.453
    Weber state 0.453
    Montana 0.484
    Portland St 0.516
    N. Colorado 0.531
    UC Davis 0.531
    Cal Poly 0.547
    N. Arizona 0.578

    Has there been any more details on the Utah game? Is there a Pac12 app, or can viewers stream directly from Pac12.com? Free? Apx. Amount?

    I think Sling.TV is the way to go on this.  You can get Pac 12 TV with Sling.tv  7 Day free Trial.  Cancel after 7 day's.

    I sent an email to fans@theralph.com a few weeks ago.  Garth Wiedrich, the Marketing Manager at the Ralph, is the one that apparently responds to that email.  I asked him about the logo at center ice this year and whether the Fighting Hawks logo is being used.  His response was:

    "I don’t know what will be put at center ice this year. Your best bet is to contact the UND athletic department"

    So either he doesn't know, or he just won't say.  Given the push by the athletic department to promote the Fighting Hawks logo, if it is up to them I would bet that it is going to be used. 

    In regards to the script at center ice...do you not remember how bad that looked before?!! :blink:

    I might be in the minority but I like the way that looks.  A large Hawk logo at center ice will not look good.  It should not ever be blown up that big.  Looks good on a hat or polo shirt, thats about it.

    However, I'm 99% sure they will use it at center ice this year based on how they are using it around campus.

    They're really bad mouthing UND on Facebook (FCS Football Fans Nation). Hope the boys can shut them up this season.

    It's almost like they think UND put there comference schedule together themselves.  The whole avoiding Montana thing is laughable. I had respect for E. Washington until resently, now I hope they kick there ass mostly to shut them up.

    I hear you. One Fan board I have enjoyed lurking on the last couple years is the Yotes board. I think they are a very good up and coming Valley team (with a fantastic weight room-- just ask 'em). 

    Bubba and UND absolutely should not and will not look past them or anyone this year.

    That said....it is interesting to read their board to get a regional FCS fan's perspective on us. Bottomline: Not a whole lot of respect for FH football, although, I assume the sentiment would be the same from us toward them. I also assume there are a lot of important changes they don't know about us and vice versa (if we're both basing what we know about each other on last year's game at the Alerus).

    Anyways.  Enjoy.

    What I always think it is funny that USD thinks just because they play in the Valley that it makes them a premier team.  I hope we beat the snot out of them.

    I get what you are saying.  But if you kept the schedule the same and just put it into two regionals, you would have to play 4 games the first day, 6 games the second day, and 2 games the 3rd day.  I realize that it requires additional days for teams/fans to be at the regional, but it is similar to the Frozen 4.  It could also be an alternative to going to the Frozen Four as ticket would maybe be easier to get and you have the opportunity to see more teams and games.  * teams/fans booking flights to a location could be an issue.  But that is why you would have the regionals in major markets that have the capability of handling that.

    Simplle.  Very similar to game times this year.
