UND Sweeps

Preseason Polls are out: UND was picked 5th in the media and 6th by the coaches. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211672837&_ga=2.107065154.1707445058.1507929281-1267981987.1487729103 Idaho picked as preseason favorites (no shock there). Coaches really like UNC to make a jump this year. Other than that, no real surprises to me.

So can the Gophers put their Final 4 banners up again? Free Clem

Isn't this the role of Nodak Nation?

How did this thread get derailed so quick... never mind I don't care. Any football news that is not related to the state of North Dakota that we can talk about?

This is a better problem to have than only have a 100 students there, and I am speaking from experience from this one

Its a win, based on the events of this week and the season. I'll take it.

Pogs

When it rains.... it really does pour

Well if there is a positive, I saw that student tickets were sold out again

This isn't surprising. UND did its homework with the consultant and made sure everything was in order. Any result other than this would have been a shock to me.

First thing on the list: Figure out what to do with Molly Next: Thank Colon for his services but it is time for Big Sexy to ride off into the sunset Do the same for Hughes, Perkins, Santiago, and Grossman Give Granite the 4th outfield spot and tell Vargas and Park that the DH spot is open for competition. Sign a pitcher to back up Berrios and Santana in the rotation and give Berrios the opening day start (time to see if he can take the next step and be an ace). If you keep Gibby, make him the 4th starter and bring up one of the kids for the 5th spot. If not, put Meija in and repeat. Upgrade the bullpen. Above all else this needs to priority #1 Tell Sano to figure out how to stay healthy and fit. Buxton needs to take the next step, Rosario needs to prove that this year wasn't a fluke Need to figure out what to do with Polanco and Dozier with Gordon nearly ready. Will this be it for Joe after this season? They got all they could out of that team and got 85 wins to show for it. Now they need to start thinking how they can catch Cleveland. Big Offseason ahead

Fri- Shane Sat- Pogs

This is a huge weekend: If they can find a way to sweep, the chances of running the table in the regular season are pretty good. Pryor will have this team ready to go

Wasn't he at one time during the Muss days?

The big question: Will they still have those great Alaskan Sushi commercials that plays a million times?

Good to see Big Sexy finish with a strong outing, if that was is final start of his career. Twins got way more than they should have out of that deal.

This has been a season where if everything could go wrong, has gone wrong. Its a combination of everything right now. Will I still watch next weekend? Yup

That is a tough start. I won't miss them next year, they were a thorn many times in UND's side in multiple sports (minus Men's basketball)

BTW: What's up with Julia K? hurt?

It will be interesting to see what does come if this. Of course people are hating on this (see Herald Facebook page) because it's wrong for UND to better itself.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/local-sports/4334624-und-hires-consulting-firm-review-top-officials-athletic-department#.WcvLB9iR4Ik.twitter What does it all mean? Should Faison be concerned? Or should others in that department start to feel the heat?

Well the Twins held up their end of the deal... Chicago not so much. Make it 6-1 in Cleveland this year 1 is the loneliest number

This won't bleed down to UND now will it? Secondly, how will this change Basketball as a whole? How will this impact schools like Louisville who are already dealing with NCAA issues?
