Yeah.. not like he doesn't have post game press conference. He also went live on KFan after the game.

Briscoe is playing terrible!

Better get to play every snap.

Started watching at half. Has he seen the field yet? Get hurt?

Is there an official pre game bar?

He looks physical. Manhandles a lot of people on tape.

I've said it before. UNLV hockey will happen, and the Engelstad Foundation will be a huge reason why. They are already a huge supporter of the Rebel hockey club and have made significant donations the past few years. 2015 - 37,500 2014 - 113,495 2013 - 112,250 2012 - 37,500

Quite literally.

Think they would draw better at the frozen faceoff than Denver cc Omaha wmu or miami?

That is really good advice. Thank you. I'm currently self employed, but will try to remember this for the future. I'm guessing nobody want's to promote someone if a void would be left with nobody to fill it. Assuming most people try not to train their replacement in an effort to seem more needed.

With all the talk of ND girls not having an opportunity to play women's hockey, I think some blame should be had on NDSU. They chose to use the 3rd prong of title 9. Based on the newspaper articles that we have all read, there is clearly demand for womens ncaa ice hockey in ND, right? As stated in the 1996 Clarification and as discussed in the Dear Colleague letter, OCR considers a multitude of indicators in the context of evaluating the following three questions to determine whether an institution is in compliance with Part Three. (1) Is there unmet interest in a particular sport? (2) Is there sufficient ability to sustain a team in the sport? (3) Is there a reasonable expectation of competition for the team? If the answer to all three questions is “Yes,” OCR will find that an institution is not fully and effectively accommodating the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex and therefore is not in compliance with Part Three.

This. Or give Mannausau a slight pay raise and get him more involved in other aspects of the athletic department.

Faison

Found a link to Jim Dahls blog post on the candidates. http://blog.siouxsports.com/2008/02/25/a-look-at-unds-athletic-director-candidates/ Old thread that he links to with discussion for the last AD search http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/9441-unds-next-athletic-director/

Not sure, but found this while looking. LOL

Football and basketball salaries are still embarrassing for both. We have lost assistants in both sports to FCS level schools. UND logo still missing from 50 yard line after new turf was installed. Giving Alerus upgrade credit to Bubba and Kennedy. Video boards at the Betty are nice, but that place has needed taller risers ever since it was built. Any somewhat competent AD could have gotten us into the Big Sky, except Faison was unaware that USD was going to bail and join the Summit/MVFC, which we are finally joining. I give him major props for Volleyball and NCHC, but almost everything else he did was !@#$. The NCHC move took guts, though, and most AD's would not have taken the chance to create a new conference, imo. Huge props for that.

Faison... in the latest sit down and cheer podcast, he stated that he prided himself on not dropping any sports, but had no choice with the budget cuts. Later in the podcast he says that UND probably should have cut sports at the beginning of the transition. wtf faison.

http://www.allstarleaderpodcast.com/episode033/ Was searching for a podcast where I could hear Bill Chaves speak and i found this gem. Its basicly a guy asking Bill a bunch of leadership/job interview-like questions. Im about a third of the way through and so far Bill has talked about what he looks for when he hires people and what his biggest challenge is at ewu. Basically said that their pres focuses on academics and limits athletics recourses... talks about their relationship a tiny bit (if you can read between the lines, so to speak) A topical listen if you have time.

Or have our logo on the 50.

This. It would be like Bubba not even thinking about moving on from Rudlph.

And the worst outcome.

I'd take the ewu guy. Fyi he was sid at quinniapac for 6 years. Not sure if he was around the hockey team or not. His Twitter has some pictures of him at Spokane Chiefs games and I think I rememb him tweeting about und in the frozen four a few times. Point is he has at least been around the game and likes it. Has done great at ewu with limited resources in football and basketball. Fundraising wise, he has shown vision but didn't seem to have institutional support. Not sure about him on that front as the gateway project never really got moving. Their fans seem to like him but hate the president. She seems to be the sjw type who doesn't like sports.

Drick is a huge loss and his rebounding is huge. He's playing 25 minutes a game for Washington State. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/drick-bernstine-1.html I'd rather have Drick than Shanks. Shanks is tall, but he was very uncoordinated and skinny. Guy couldn't catch a pass, rebound, or shoot. He was terrible at the line too. Oh, and he would foul out in like 15 - 20 minutes!

Tyreke picked up another offer, from Drake. According to the Desmoines Register (link), he played with our big get Jal Bijiek, and is now getting interest from big name schools. "That future could be very bright for the Polar Bears floor general. Locure — who sports a 3.2 grade-point average — already has a North Dakota offer, that’s where his former Polar Bears teammate Jal Bijiek will be headed next season. Shortly after Niko Medved and his staff took the reins, Drake became the second school to offer. Iowa State, Iowa, Creighton, Wisconsin, Milwaukee-Wisconsin, Minnesota, Morehead State, and most recently, Nebraska-Omaha have all expressed interest." "Despite that drop in recruitment activity during the winter, there will be collegiate personnel at North games this season. North Dakota coaches were in to watch him against Ankeny Centennial amd Nebraska-Omaha was in the gym Friday night when Locure poured in 35 against Hoover." At only 5'10", maybe bigger schools will be hesitant to offer and we could get another steal.

Also, there is an argument to be made that the (hypothetical) buyout money would be better spent on bringing d1 teams in for home games, summer scholarships, increased salary pool for assistants, flights instead of busses, etc.. If I was the new AD, I would wait until there is a year left in Jones contract to buy him out, despite how much I think his contract shouldn't have been extended in the first place. This program needs a higher budget more than a new coach, despite how badly it needs a new coach.
