Well a lot of them are also hockey fans. Grand Forks isn't big enough to draw 11,000, 20 nights a year, by itself.

https://und.edu/finance-operations/vpfo-reports/und-ncaa-summary.cfm For comparison, this is a link to 2015 and 2016, as well. I have spent a couple hours searching for NDSU's NCAA report, and it doesn't appear that they make it readily available to the public. Anyone know how to do an open records request?

No worries - bet the house! They are due.

Well, UND is sitting pretty good if they have a president that was the #3 finalist at UCF.

The news has it's own page now. You have to click the link in the way lower left corner of the home page to get there. http://news.siouxsports.com/ The content isn't that great anymore - doesn't show this article. Edit: On the home page there is a news section under "around the web". I think it used to be set up so members could add articles - not sure if that is still the case.

Don't worry, Omaha being sixth in the country in goals per game is irrelevant.

UND sweeps easy. This is crunch time for UND hockey, and they will come through with some big wins. This team is going to regionals.

Here is something to talk about, courtesy of Tom Miller, who I just bashed. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4411954-und-football-coaching-staff-juggles-duties-spring-ball-begins "Schweigert has decided to no longer coach a position group. He had previously coached UND's cornerbacks..." "Schweigert said the move was made so he could spend more time monitoring both the offense and the defense during practice." "Travis Stepps has moved from coaching safeties to cornerbacks." "Joel Schwenzfeier has moved from coaching outside linebackers to safeties." "Defensive coordinator Eric Schmidt has moved from inside linebackers to outside linebackers. Carl Reinholz takes over the inside linebackers." "These coaching tweaks also make sense considering Stepps was an NCAA Division II All-American corner at Pittsburg State, Schwenzfeier was a UND safety and Schmidt was a UND outside linebacker." I like the change. Not sure about Reinholz at inside linebackers, though. Isn't he pretty new and played wr in college?

It doesn't help that the football team doesn't have a beat writer. Tom Miller is our only hope, and he seems kind of lazy, to be honest. Teeder puts out better info than him and it's not even his job. There's zero new information to talk about, hence one post all week. Edit: In Tom's defense, he's only a columnist, though, and I think he has been busy with hs basketball. If money is an issue for the herald, and if I were in charge, I would hire a student intern (journalism major) to act as a part time beat writer for the football team. Cover practices and provide info and story ideas to Tom. UND also needs to figure out a way to produce a Through These Doors type of show for UND football. I know they have tried it in the past, but they cancelled it, citing lack of resources. Create a student internship and let them do this... they can put it on their resume while providing a meaningful service to UND football and it's fan base.

And Denver.

We are leaving the Big Sky for the Mid Continent league, apparently.

Just let Geno ball if that's the case.

NVM... this bush league tv production got it wrong.

Avants is in the lineup!

Anyone know what the UND/Summit contract says in regards to NCAA tournament payout money? Can we get league payouts right away or do we have to wait 4 years or something?

Exactly how Jones drew that up... LOL.

Love this part of basketball games! Set up a good shot here.... please!

you guys need to just go to watchbigsky.com. It works WAY better. But I'd almost rather not be able to watch this tournament.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I would imagine that this makes it hell of a lot harder, and more expensive, to clear snow.

This would be amazing and way better than a new scoreboard. That said, I think money should be put into the Betty. Taller bleachers, upgraded players areas.

I think I remember the actual screens were replaced since construction of the scoreboard. Other than updating the resolution of the video panels, I don't see a need to replace the whole frame. The new big ones are ugly and you can see the video boards great from anywhere in the ralph. The bigger video boards distract from the game and reduce the visibility of other areas of the arena.

That would def be good for the football program. Need to bring our product to potential fans. Also UND/NDSU m/w basketball should alternate years playing conference games at a neutral site in north dakota. Each team would lose one home game every four years. Maybe play in Bismarck every year.
