Bochenski is gonna win.

Think it possible that with the young QB's and boltmans success, that he could see many more snaps under center? Like 15% - 20% of snaps under center and they have him actually throw the ball? At some point, if he took too many snaps, it could turn into having two QB's and nobody would want that I suppose.

How reliable is your source? That doesn't make any sense, because those are the players locker rooms. Without Phase II where would they go?

No reason to think it isnt or wasn't true but who knows when the plan was worked on. Maybe they wanted plans but couldn't afford it or decided not to do it - like the gateway plan at EWU. Is it a new plan or did they just want to show off their old work? Found this old article - the beams were at a grand forks scrap yard in Dec of 2013: "As Gibbs drove around the RMI scrap yard on a recent frigid morning, he points out notable pieces sitting on top of the small metal hills. Beams that supported the former Ralph Engelstad Arena are among them, as well is a massive rebar pile from the recent Interstate 29 project." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.prairiebusinessmagazine.com/business/3967995-gf-salvage-yard-embraces-new-scrap-metal-law%3famp

Somebody paid JLG for the plan. Guessing it wasn't cheap. I agree the plan is probably dead though.

uh, is this a thing???? INDIANA? "Indiana University’s plan to move its hockey program to Division 1 includes this proposal to develop a truly “green” arena. The buildings shell currently resides in North Dakota as the former Ralph Englestad Arena. The plan is to dismantle the facility and ship it by rail to Bloomington, Indiana where it will become the new home to Hoosier Hockey. The facility will go from 6,500 seats to 5,500 seats and receive a comprehensive renewal and re-birth." https://jlgice.com/projects/indiana-university-athletics-pavilion/ Did they save anything when they tore down the old ralph? Maybe this is old, but new on jlg's website. At least it shows Indiana must have had some interest in D1 hockey.

Or it's just a "local newspaper" filled with articles from the washington post.

That article mentioned that the papers were profitable, but not profitable enough to make it worthwhile for the owners to manage. Serious question: rather than just shutting the papers down, why don't the owners just sell the paper to the employees and make it employee owned? Is this because the employees wouldn't be able to pay as much as the owner would get for selling off all of the assets?

Not exactly the same situation... UND football was in a tail spin. But either way, what has that gotten us? Mediocre results. Don't really see how that helps your argument.

That wasn't exactly the point. Did you read the comment I responded to? Completely different context. And yeah, he'd be a great hire as a position coach. This is pretty much the same argument that could have been made for Paul Rudolph when he was hired.. "So when Dosch was named HC at NSU any guesses who else was a finalist that he beat out for the position? Hint...........he just lead a team to a 16-0 season."

That supposed to make Dosch a better coach somehow? The guy has a losing overall head coaching record. Don't see how his mediocre, at best, experience really makes him look any better as a candidate. Rather take a young guy with more potential any day (see Freund) than a "safe" pick like this dude. You really want a guy who was just fired from a D2 school to be our coordinator?

Has this been posted anywhere yet? New Sacred Heart arena plans: https://jlgice.com/projects/sacred-heart-university-ice-arena/?category=collegiate&ref=jlgarchitects Looks similar to CC's new rink.

New fresh talented DC has a bad enough defense that the team goes 6-5?

Ughh... Gonna be quiet and not derail this thread haha

If UND get's >50% the ticket revenue, sure. Otherwise, no.

Living in the cities, this kind of surprises me that grand forks plows the alleys. St. Paul alleys are plowed by private contractors, with households from each block pitching in to pay for it. They city council now wants the city to takeover alley plowing. When I lived on an alley in Grand Forks, almost ten years ago now, I don't remember this being an issue. I also don't remember if the city of GF plowed our alley or if it was a private contractor. Did this change recently?

New arena to be built in Kansas city area. Doubt UMKC is interested though.

Could also see people who plan on going to the game listing tickets at prices like this, and if the tickets sell, hoorah!

Which is a sellout. College hockey gets tons of fans that attend the frozen four each year, no matter who is actually playing. That really isn't the case with FCS football right now. If the game was in a destination city, it would be easier for people who want to go to drag their family or friends along, and Nashville is a much more central location. The FCS championship, ideally, should be a huge annual party for ALL fans of FCS football. Also, you don't think NDSU fans would sell this place out? You gotta know they would... and a school like JMU would see better attendance as well. UND hockey just sold out the predators arena for a non conf game, largely due to the location. What would the hockey ticket sales look like if that game was in Frisco?

Gotcha. Not sure what the big deal is that it's a soccer stadium. People who go seem to love the location and stadium. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Scratch that... I just google to see if Nashville has a stadium. It looks like they are working on a new MLS stadium that will be slightly larger than Frisco's. Frisco has my vote until this thing get's built. I think you would see a lot more FCS fans, from non championship teams, attend the game if it was in a city like this. Also more of a central location to most FCS teams. Capacity 27.5k

Capicity refused in 2016 due to construction, correct?

This guy had pretty much the opposite philosophy as Baukol, it seems. Good article. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1739903-how-to-build-a-bully-inside-the-stanford-football-strength-program

Not the most accurate for FCS teams when they don't even bother to update the status of committed players. https://247sports.com/player/quincy-vaughn-46084437/ https://247sports.com/player/samuel-salih-fort-46056222/

For comparison, how many do ND and MN have?
