WOW! very entertaining game! Great coverage as well.

Top half of big sky and summit need to split and start their own league... Und ndsu montana montana Denver Idaho sdsu webber and any other top half team with good academics that I left out

Thanks for the replies David. One of the biggest things I've noticed is a general lack of awareness/presence of anything UND football, on campus. Something like a huge poster spanning over a couple levels of the parking ramp would do wonders... or putting football graphics on our school buses like Bucks and other businesses do on city buses.

Tailgating... a friend of mine came tailgating for the first time last week, but he didn't get his pass from the union beforehand. They made him pay 15 dollars and park by the non-students even though the whole student lot was empty. The university/alerus make such a hassle out of everything, most students just say screw it.

Sorry not sure how it works in women's hockey but will they continue to play after graduation with the us women's team? I'm wondering if women's hockey is set up like the us women's soccer team? If not would they still play in the next Olympics?

My roommates and I plan to make the trip down. We are wondering if there will be any student tickets available? (student section/lower prices) Does anybody have any info on this?

You guys are all off base here. Attendance will get better not through promotions or gimmicks but as a result of students graduating. Students who experienced transition football games have made up their mind that football here is boring, and they don't want to go back to the Alerus. Every year, when these kids graduate, they will replaced by a new crop of freshman who will have the opportunity to watch exciting football games and these students will keep coming back. The Alerus will be selling out like the Fargo Dome in three years time.

Pretty cool that big sky tv uses the midco sn feed for those who have direct tv or cable one.

Does anybody know how often volleyball rpi is updated? I can only find rpi numbers from 2011 on the ncaa website.

"NCHC adds business operations manager, media relations consultant" "A grand opening for the league office, which will have computer and phone systems installed in the next few days, will be held in early to mid-September" http://www.uscho.com/2012/08/08/nchc-adds-business-operations-manager-media-relations-consultant/

Speaking of popularity... espn is having a college popularity contest. Vote for UND and have a chance to win free gear. http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/clc/2012/

It sounds like you're a food snob. The pizza is good, even compared to the likes of Cossetta's and other pizza places down in the cities. I think you're letting the fact that they don't have a traditional pizza oven get to your head.

No offense to any of you, or Pat Sweeney, but he was boring as all hell... very happy someone new is coming in.

HAHA I'm glad this was posted because I was driving home a couple of weekends ago and I stopped at a gas station on CO RD 81, just off thighway 94 in Fargo... Long story short, they had tons of UND apparel and zero bison stuff! This was only a few miles from NDSU campus!

The reason for either expansion of the betty or renovation of the hyslop is scheduling purposes and recruiting. (Ralph would not be suitbable for basketball in the long run, in my opinion) Advantage of hyslop is intimacy and TRADITION... wouldn't you want to play in the same arena Phil Jackson had?

Hey sorry, kinda random but I can't stop thinking about it.... With the growing population in GF and the ever increasing student population, plus the addition of Big Sky interest.. I must believe that one day mens basketball may outgrow the Betty. Assuming there is money for a renovation, would it be possible to renovate the hyslop to be suitable for division 1 basketball? Looking through all the pictures of old fieldhouses on the web like Kansas and Minnesota, I'd have to believe that the hyslop could become not only a great basketball facility, but a destination just as the Ralph is. The hyslop can hold more than a thousand more people than the Betty and the atmosphere would be ten times greater with the fans right on top of the action (love the second deck). I'm imagining somethiing like Montana's Dahlberg arena.. Gotta at least admit it would be kinda cool?! Be nice

This is what I've heard. From what I understand, he will leave if he gets any offer.

Off topic, but Faison is on am1500 in the cities and he reported 400 new season tickets and said he expects 1000 by the time the season starts.

Beginning to think we may be ranked number one in the preseason polls this year...

I like the idea but the oil fields are on the other side of the state and are not anything many students will be able to relate to.

How exactly did you form you're understanding? Anyway, will these be Reebok jerseys or Gemini?

Pardon me for my lack of computer skills. This is what I was kinda thinking of... you get the idea.
