Brainstorming here.... and I don't know ANYTHING about airlines or flight operations, but... Is there any way that UND's aviation department could set up a direct flight to Denver? It could be in partnership with one of the airlines that they are currently working with... could provide students an opportunity to get real world airport management experience. Universities are partnered with businesses for different endeavors all over the country. If this can by done with hospitals, why not with aviation? GFK, Grand Forks, UND, and the airline would all benefit, and all or some of these could help to split potential losses. Would be a huge feather in the cap to UND's aviation program, and it would be a way to truly set UND apart from some of it's competition.

Someone should set up a new thread that only Sioux Volley and Lakes can post in. Would be mildly entertaining to watch them go at it back and forth. Pretty sure lakes also pretends that he doesn't know who Sioux Volley is though...

I don't think that's really fair. All of the QB's have been around the program for a long time now, and there have been open QB battles for the last couple seasons now. If one of the other quarterbacks are truly better, they haven't really made it obvious, according to most of the camp/practice reports that I have seen.

Yeah, me too... Is this the place that always had bonfires on the empty lot?

This is a great article about Quinn that was written last November. 4th on team in tackles while also rushing for almost 1000 yards, and he can also long snap. Played linebacker along side NDSU's Luke Weerts and a Northwestern commit. https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/sports/ct-abn-spt-football-batavia-quinn-urwiler-st-1128-story.html

I don't really see anything that's not doable within the next 15-20 years. Can never plan too far ahead. Not really a fan of the athlete housing deal at the site of memorial stadium though. Would like to see them connect it to the other side of the HPC, if they aren't going to add windows on the East side. Edit: A couple facts of note - that big building South of the HPC in the above pic isn't in the athletic departments 2018 master plan, and I don't see the softball field on there either. It's supposed to be frat houses on the 2018 UND masater plan, but plans can change. Maybe UND just wanted a rendering of what a new softball field could look like, without having a specific location in mind. https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/_files/docs/und-athletics-masterplan-0406.pdf https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/_files/docs/2018-master-plan.pdf

Guessing this hasn't been posted yet because it only has 10 views

Thanks. That's what I figured, but the ads at the end made me think it was in the Betty's storage area or something... This makes more sense haha

New turf looking good!

Where is this?

This! I was not happy about this AT ALL - I am happy to say that I was wrong. However, I think the Herald article mentioned that he wanted to wait on moving forward until the new President was in place, but the SBHE overruled him. We may have just gotten lucky.

Spreadsheet of everyone's schedule so far. Hopefully some games get announced soon... only have @ Nebraska right now. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RXeS_A4oxTIjsm5efwX1xmlzkyQqKrnoWlb0IN3O73E/edit#gid=1810998462

Questions are what keep message boards active!

Kinda random, but how often does the team get new uniforms? Does the fact that game used Adidas jerseys are being sold at the Sioux Shop indicate anything? Or do they just get replacements every year with the same design?

Miss Kennedy already.

I think they made this announcement to start a 7 team conference, eliminating UAA, UAF, and UAH, as a way to entice ASU as the 8th team. When ASU shuts them down, they take UAH back, or possibly a Atlantic team..

If UAH gets their arena built, I could see the WCHA welcoming them back.

That's pretty cool. The shell of their arena is pretty huge... guessing it could be renovated to add sufficient seating. The arenas for Army and Air Force aren't very big either, and I think they could make this building work in Atlantic hockey.

I think the weak point in the whole thing was their one page contract with no penalty for leaving early.

I don't buy the caffeine thing, but it was probably just something like creatine, which isn't that big of a deal. No matter what happened though, NDSU treated the guy like crap, and turned a non issue into a controversy. LOL

Would Robbin's former teammates have thrown Newman under the bus for caffeine? It's interesting that the former teammates knew exactly who to point the finger at, if it was really just too much caffeine.

The wording is interesting. If it was caffeine, you think that would choose different wording than saying that he tested positive for a banned substance, because caffeine isn't banned - having too much of it in your system is, right. So wouldn't they choose different wording? Words mean something.

Are NDSU's women's teams fully funded?
