They aren't streaming the game. A riders fan is streaming the stadium video board on Facebook though, apparently... https://www.facebook.com/PifflesPodcast/

I wish UND added baseball, but do you really think that would fly right now on UND's campus after women's hockey was cut? I don't see why the Summit can't just take over the MVFC, and have affiliate membership with the MVC schools.

Stream is up! Bumping this for anyone who forgot about the game.

On the bright side, props to Austin Gordon. Stuck behind Oliviera and Santiago, had to sit a year, change positions.. to defense, and he still stuck with the program. Hoping his patience pays off and he makes a huge splash this year for his senior season.

That was fast.

Really? I agree with QB's, but running backs? That's gotta be the most preposterous statement I've seen so far this year.

You're being sarcastic, right? Or would they play a d3 schedule like a few of the D2 teams out east do?

I think you're right. I want to see a view of the whole arena with it up. The close up pics will make it look bigger. The pre game stuff is gonna look great with all the new video boards and technology.

It would be hilarious if UST stole Augastana's spot in the Summit.

Could be the anonymous donor too.

I have a buddy who grew up in Fargo, went to UND, and only follows UND hockey and NDSU football (apparently because he grew up watching NDSU, and because he thinks UND football sucks, and he apparently isn't a band wagon fan ). Even HE was legit excited when I mentioned that Boschee might be the next coach, and this guy probably doesn't even know who Geno Crandall or Q Hooker are... I think that says something for the excitement that Boschee could generate around the program.

Both or either.

Nice! Didn't know that.

Last I heard, but would anyone REALLY have the balls to do it now, in the current environment?! I doubt it. I think they were planning to use some of the Ray Dicks funds to endow the golf program. If things changed I don't know why they would do that, unless for PR purposes.

The team has to raise funds for all of their expenses every year or else it will be, apparently.

Probably because she plays an active role in the management of the Ralph and publicly stated that Kennedy was offensive and pretty much negotiating in bad faith, and then said that she would stop all donations until he was gone. Nobody would say a word if she wasn't constantly in the press. But now he's gone like she wanted...

Is it still possible to add news stories/articles to the main page? I think users used to be able to do this, but not sure if it's currently possible. Would like to add Brad and Tom's new podcast.

Will UND actually see a fundraising bump now that Kennedy is gone? With Kennedy gone, may KEM be willing to partially finance Phase II through the Ralph, similar to the Betty donation loan? Everyone knows that UND Hockey has by far the most support from fans. Would UND be better off fundraising for things like the 2m in RAE funds, used for the scoreboard, and allowing the money to flow to other programs? Currently it's the other way around, with other programs putting in so much effort for fundraising. For instance, golf has to fundraise for their annual budget, but if the RAE money flowed through them, and the hockey program identified a fundraising need for the same amount, I think UND would have a much better chance of reaching said goal, and overall donations could increase. Example: 2million from RAE that was used for the scoreboard goes to Phase 2, and the hockey program finds donations for a new scoreboard. Could also sell naming rights to scoreboard. How far along is UND in it's fundraising efforts for the business school? They have a 20m donation from an anonymous donar, and 20m from the state so far, correct? They need about 60m? Will the business school sell naming rights? "Cargill School of Business" perhaps?

Did they ever announce how much money was raised?

Have you seen any library renderings? Always loved the big study room there. Hopefully they add a coffee shop.

I've thought this ever since the announcement. LOVE the other enhancements though.

I think cheaping out and paying Jones such a low wage was the right move. He wasn't worth more, as demonstrated by his move to be an assistant at Illinois State. UND also didn't have to buy out his contract, and Jones may have stayed if he was paid more. With the new coach, hopefully things improve. ESPECIALLY for the assistants pool. Assistants can't be leaving every single year. Edit: I also kind of regret being so down on Jones, when he was put into a position where he had to coach with one hand tied behind his back. Low assistants salary pool, few home D1 non conf games, probably terrible travel accommodations, and tons of travel in general while in the Big Sky.

Really? Even after her obnoxious statements about not donating as long as Kennedy is president? Now that she has her way, she better not have drug his name through the mud, made UND look bad, and discourage other donors, only to NOT donate when he is finally gone. I'd agree with you if she didn't go to the press multiple times to complain about him in public.
