Like I said

This is a really good interview with Rick Zombo at Lindenwood. Highly recommend. Discusses the wisconsin water bottle incident as well.

If the pa promts fans, 2nd down would be better imo. 3rd down comes more naturally anyway, and if there is a big 2nd down stop it's not like fans will forget about yelling, for an even more critical play, after they were already just told to.

How long till UND updates their normal home and away jerseys? Has anyone heard anything one way or the other? With the giant gap in the center of the replicas (ugly), ya gotta think UND is missing out on tens if not hundreds of thousands in sales annually.. The Nashville one or even these Nodak ones would be better. Could even have one HAWKS and another could say NODAK. Or both say NODAK I don't care... Current jerseys look great on the ice, or with a number, but the replicas are legit bad. However, if UND could figure out the whole NIL deal, the ralph or a 3rd party could customize the current jerseys with the name and numbers of existing players whom can be compensated appropriately. That CAN be done legally, it would benefit the program, and it would provide at least some benefit for keeping the current jerseys (it's the only way they look good).

Bohl 6-5 in 2008 Then 3-8 in 2009 Many wanted Bohl fired as well. I'm not saying that is a similar situation to Bubba.. just saying.

I think it's reasonable to conclude that this point was reached when UND won the Big Sky championship. Since then, multiple conference changes have probably played a much larger factor, imo.

I'd buy one - 100% committed if you can get that put together.

I know things are changing, but if we are wondering why SDSU has been more successful since we moved D1, especially in regard to recruiting, is it really that much of a mystery? I know the high performance center is great, but Bubba has been incredibly successful if you consider the overall facilities that he's been working with in comparison to the top teams in the fcs (besides EWU). The locker rooms at memorial were literally going to be condemned weren't they? Compare that to SDSU and the Dykhouse Center, which actually has locker rooms and other football facilities attached to it. Bubba hasn't been playing with a full deck of cards but he's been fairly competitive anyways. Guarantee UND starts recruiting better once Memorial Village and Pollard phase two are complete.

Something something indifference etc

You're right! Literally pages and pages of discussion not too far back. To answer your question, it's no longer standing room as you may remember it. They converted that area to "club" seating, so you would be paying for a barstool along the rail that is reserved specifically for you. You will not need to compete for space with anyone along the rail.

The REA/UND usage agreement has changed significantly since the arena was built, imo. Below is a comparison for "Disposition of Net Income" between the current usage agreement and the 2004-2005 usage agreement. Current usage agreement: 2004-2005 Usage Agreement:

His first couple sentences are also both contradictory and wrong. NE10 runs a D2 hockey league.

Oh. My. God. This thread is embarrassing. Argue all you want, but really both college hockey and FCS football are niche sports at the national level. They are what we make of them.

I clicked the link but it says the search session expired. I think I found it though.. is this it? https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=90202844&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch Why do I feel like you already did that? It is interesting.

What is his body of work?

Right. I'm just saying that if people are clamoring for anyone to be fired, he should be at the top of the list.

How long is Chaves going to stick around? That's the first question. If he will leave or be fired soon I don't want him hiring the next fb coach. IF any moves are going to be made, do it after the Missouri State game and give Danny the chance to show what he can do. At this point, firing Bubba seems kinda pointless, imo, since we need that buyout money for a team locker room, because they haven't replaced the last one which was condemned and tore down yet. Fire Chaves if anything. Let a new AD start fresh with his own hire. Do we really want Chaves to be around in 5 years? If not, I don't see why ya'll aren't preaching to fire him first. Last thing I want is to make a FB coaching change before getting a new AD, which could then lead to having a new AD who is itching to fire the whatever coach Chaves would hire. And if that wasn't the case, Chaves would STILL be at UND...? Look at the track record of the programs since he was hired... New AD, then new coach. CHAVES is the one who gave Bubba a long extension before he needed to by the way. This is the guy who should be making the next FB coaching hire instead of the guy who can't fundraise and thinks blocking off the bridge decks is a good idea.

Source?

Yes

Only on one end. There is zero reason the media end can't be changed back to normal, today. It's a terrible view for someone who is professionally reporting on the game anyway.

The black curtain should be removed at minimum. This would be like an open concourse arena or stadium permanently blocking the view of the game from fans in the concourse. There's a reason that so many open concourse arenas and stadiums are being built - it improves the game experience for everyone. If this idea isn't going anywhere and they insist on keeping the club seating, they could at least try to make it feel like a legit club experience. Give them tables and servers and remove the curtain. This would at least help to drive revenue and it would help to justify the higher price point of the tickets. I hope they reverse course, but if they did something like this (see below) there probably wouldn't have been as much push back - I think what drives people nuts about the Peterson Porch is that the space is just being wasted. period.

Tom made a great point about kids. Kid's want to move around and the catwalk allows kids to move around a bit while parents can still watch the game. My top reasons for why UND should reverse their position: -Kids, as mentioned -Only place for friends to meet up since there isn't a general admission section -Only place 21 year old students can watch the game while LEGALLY drinking a beer -Flawed Logic. Eric Martinson seems to base his argument on a sold out building, which has only ever happened with NDSU. Peterson Porch diminishes the fan experience for everyone in the building with normal seats and Peterson Porch revenue is likely more than offset by disgruntled fans who decide to stay at home. -Terrible execution -Black curtains are unnecessary -There is room to create space for overflow press above the suits

Probably not the best way to effect change.

Do you have an Iphone or Android, or were you on their website? I only ever saw a play/stop button, which is why I resorted to NAU's feed on the Varsity app.
