all mvfc games are able to be streamed on espn

Players transfer all the time now days no matter who the coach is. NCAA making it super easy doesn't necessarily help either. Sather will bring in some decent transfers and odds are they will be just as "good" as Tyree. I'd like to focus on UND setting up a normal D1 home schedule before bashing the coach.

I believe the conference gets about 330K for each game a conf team plays in. The units (one per game played) get paid out annually for 6 years. Conferences can split them up however they wish - not sure how the summit does it, but I would guess Summit teams get an equal share. So I believe ORU's win nets the summit an extra 2 million over the next 6 years. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.

wow nail biter vs Ohio State coming down to the wire. Come on ORU get the Summit some $$$$$!

On second thought, this would probably be even more offensive. Just use the damn nickle. It doesn't matter if we aren't the sioux anymore its just a rivalry trophy. A new trophy would mean nothing because anything else pales in comparison. Its the history of the trophy itself that matters.

This is the best idea by far.

How about a flagship? Like as in flagship U... both schools claim it.

That had been Lucia's/Gopher hockey issue for a long time until Motzko. Maybe NDSU has pulled a Gophers Football and stopped offering as much local talent as they should? Have the transfers been local guys, or guys from out of the region?

I want to keep the Nickle, just because of the history and how much it means to so many people. For that reason, and It would be controversial, I'd want the Nickel to be melted down and molded into the new trophy (if there is one), so that it retains some of the history as it would actually be the same material.

The herald could just pay UND Football 360 to help out with a few articles here and there, or have Schloss help out with some background stories on the players, which he is so good at, or have the fargo football guys write a few UND football articles. Convert the bison media zone to more of a football media zone, kind of like the rink live that they did with hockey. The thing that's killing the herald is they don't have any radio presence like the writers in the forum have. Dom and Kolpack are on the radio every day. UND radio coverage is just !@#$. Do we have a local station that talks UND sports ever? I cant even stream Hennesy's morning show.

interview from bubba last week that i'm not sure was posted here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bubba-schweigert-on-unds-strong-start-enjoying-the-moment/id1547924192?i=1000512244310

The two have different job titles. Unless something has changed, Tom doesn't have the luxury of covering football 24/7, because he's a columnist not a beat writer like Brad.

I don't think anyone is blaming Tom. The problem is that Tom is a one man show with little support.

I must be old now. What does the hands on head thing mean?

Seriously though, maybe there will be news? Maybe a big presser before NDSU game? Just seems odd that UND hasnt really had an "announcement" or presser dedicated to the Memorial Stadium building... hopefully they were waiting on something in regard to phase 2 so they can announce at same time? One can always dream. Memorial Stadium wake doesnt count.

Thats Chaves at a golf fundraiser for hpc2/fritz2.

And I don't think our big right tackle started until our 4th game. Can't believe I forget his name... 100% would have made an NFL roster. Edit: was he left tackle actually? Dont recall that either!

They should be smart and wear them to keep loose and prevent injuries. Kinda talking out of my ass but that seems right.

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight.

Does a new Mayor change anything?

Elon up 3 very early vs JMU

I have the biggest smile after reading todays posts... We have been through some major ups and downs as football fans at UND... Even if just temporary, it's been great to see everything finally come together. After the Muss and Rudy years, with Freund actually living up to the hype and exceeding the unfairly high bar that most of us set for him, and with NDSU's concurrent drama (lol), seeing Weah coming back and succeeding, and with Tommy's success after the uncertainty with the events surrounding his recruitment, this is just a great moment in time.

If I knew how to do it I would make a video with guys like Dom Izzo talking about this with images of negative tweets displayed, and then it would transition to a highlight video of UND dominating and then clips of Dom back tracking.
