You could use logic. Football raised over 20 million for the High Performance Center, which benefits multiple sports on campus. There are also required champions club donations for season tickets. You are being biased by ignoring donations. Logic - What fan base will donate more money, a team with an average attendance of 10,000 or 500?

Chaves said in an interview right after he got hired that he would wait a few months before making an changes. Want's to get an idea of what the culture is and how things currently operate before making decisions.

I agree, but when I was a student, it was a pain in the ass to be separated from friends by being in lower or upper bowel. I think it suppresses attendance, and the lines are unnecessary. I say 103, 104, 105, 106. The students all on one level would create a better environment, and eliminate the need for ridiculous lines to sit lower bowl. If they don't change the sections, they should at least go back to separate tickets for lower and upper bowl. This would take away two lower bowl sections, but seats would be opened up on the red line in both the lower and upper bowl. These are great seats.

There isn't a coach in the nation that isn't trying to build depth at every position. The problem is Bubba has to recruit players to the locker rooms at Memorial Stadium, and there are more attractive schools to football recruits in the region. It's not that easy, especially when guys like Elijah, Harris, and Kuksa leave or get hurt. I think the constant bashing of UND-FB-FAN is counterproductive - the criticisms of him are more annoying than his negativity, imo, despite the popularity of the posts that bash him. This website would be boring without differing views - that's what makes a good conversation. Do we want this place to be an echo chamber? It's not like he's presenting opinion as fact, or throwing out crazy conspiracy theories while bashing all those who disagree with him like some other members on this website.

How much did they raise for the high performance center again? That doesn't happen without football.

This is why you get so much grief. HE DID NOT SAY THAT!!!! He did not say the conversation was "NEEDED". In response to a question about going D1, he said that its a great conversation to have with everybody. Huge difference. Stop putting words in peoples mouth and bending the truth.

Surprised you two don't debate each other more often...

Are the same people who want to get rid of Berry the same ones who wanted Hack gone, despite consistently making the NCAA tournament and Frozen Four?

As far as mascots go, the dopier the better, imo. People who are offended by mascots need to pull the stick out of their ass.

I think Tom Miller's article is mostly good news. Really hope to see Austin Gordon make the field and see what he can do.

What. If?

Random strangers being invited in to public high schools will not get very much support right now. I'm all for the mall library idea if a new library gets built. Lease the space. No new building. This is in the same ball park as public funds for stadiums imo. Nobody is using libraries for education anymore. Its a free WiFi location to look at Facebook or get on a computer. Open a downtown computer only "library", and maintain the current libraray.

Which ones?

Can't find the game on watchbigsky. UND schedule links to UND Insider. Did I miss something?

I guess this is +1 for Bill Chaves.

Holy cow... didn't know that.

You sure about that? Aren't both sidelines cement, and they keep the basketball bleachers in the end zone? Maybe I am misreading your post.

Does Austin Gordon return to Running Back after this season?

Do you know who attended? What the topics were?

Providence should be lower. Their last natty was bs, considering they were the 16th seed and got placed in the providence regional for attendance reasons, when they weren't even the host, and it wasn't due to bracket integrity.

Anything besides him choosing to retire is speculation. My guess is Kennedy talked to him and it was a mutual decision. It wasnt really anything he did "wrong". Just more of time for new blood type of thing. New preseident, new conference, faison was old, is time for a new era.

Can you read?

I'm not out protesting. Just stating my opinion.
