Saying ORU left, or even if they dont, take UMKC to be the travel partner with Omaha. Don't need Augie to water down recruiting.

Cookus is still out I'm guessing? Edit: NVM

The problem is that most people's expectations accounted for having a terrible OC, and Sam Houston actually being a good football team. Wasted potential is one of the saddest things in life, and watching UND struggle to scrape by the past few years has not been enjoyable. The more wins the better, but even if UND makes the playoffs this year, that doesn't mean people should be content. The utilization of Santiago is straight up depressing. Many of the issues that GeuxSioux refers to have been apparent, and voiced by many, since before we lost to New Richmond as a 9-2 seeded playoff team.

Were you happy last year because they didn't lose all their games? 3-8 is better than what it could have been.

I don't see how football alumni or other boosters would chip in money to pay for a new head coach at this point. UND football would be way better off with taking any money that would hypothetically be spent on paying a fired coach, and using it for a new coordinator, increasing assistant pay, and other team needs, like the recruiting budget. If Chaves fired Bubba, there isn't exactly a large group of experienced coaches that are chomping at the bit to come to UND. Getting a better coach than Bubba would be 50/50 odds, at best. Look at the Montana program now that they have fired their coach every 3 years for the past decade. They just rehired one of the guys they fired, and they have been nothing but mediocre. The same can't be said for Rudolph. Chuck the pigskin guy would probably be better.

Someone posted this earlier on a different thread. Penn State's student section for hockey has a website, and is very organized. Something like this would be really cool, and helpful for both football and hockey, and maybe even volleyball/basketball. http://theroarzone.wixsite.com/theroarzone

This. The ralph makes kids wait outside for hours before the game for lower bowl tickets, which means kids cant pregame. Even if they are 21. The change away from Lower/Upper bowl tickets was a bad one, imo.

They better be sending some alternates along for free or something. Jones def has the right to say "I told you so" haha.

I agree. Kentucky just looked so athletic that I wasn't even mad haha. I like this team.

This. Studsrud was way worse his senior year after they made him stop running. And these are the same coaches that thought a current wide receiver was better than Zimmerman. Feel bad for that guy.

3 factors that benefit UND vs other bubble teams: UNI - common opponent Montana - UNI lost 23-26 and UND crushed McNeese - common opponent UNC - McNeese won 17-14 and UND won 38-13 Montana - common opponents Sac State, Portland State, and Idaho. Both teams were 2 and 1 vs these teams. Montana's total points spread was 24 against these teams, and UND had a point spread of 28. Our Idaho loss can be cancelled out by their Portland State loss. We only beat Portland State by 7, but they only beat Sacramento by 7. Bottom line, both teams are very similar in terms of performance vs common opponents, but UND crushed them 41-14 head to head.

Pretty sure conference reps leave the room or cant talk about their own teams.

You sure this is on espn3? Not seeing that anywhere.

Yeah I'd rather go to somewhere I can wear shorts.

It's nuts even when the place isn't busy. Most consistently slow service of any place I've ever been to.

Yep. Pretty much the exact same play right?

These announcers are dumb as rocks. Thats a catch. They are reviewing the recovery. edit: Nvm. Refs suck

LOL

Coaches should have our backup punter watch some youtube videos and replace leech.

Portland State over UND?

Yeah, and then she will rescind the donation when she doesn't like the president they hire.

This isn't a Kennedy issue, this is a McGarry issue. This is repeated behavior from her. She feels like she is entitled to run UND and UNLV due to the size of her pocket book. You're not Dictator McGarry... sorry! She rescinded a $14 million dollar donation from UNLV's med school, because the president was pushed out by the board of reagents. https://lasvegassun.com/news/2018/mar/14/concern-regents-leadership-unlv-med-school-funding/ "Kris Engelstad McGarry said the Engelstad Family Foundation had offered its $14 million gift on the contingency that Jessup and the medical school’s dean, Barbara Atkinson, would remain in place. Amid reports this week that Jessup was exploring opportunities elsewhere after facing pressure from some members of the Nevada Board of Regents, Engelstad McGarry said she was upset to learn that one of the regents’ complaints was about the contingency clause. She said the regents interpreted the provision as an attempt by Jessup to protect his job or somehow otherwise benefit from donor funding." I don't see how rescinding a $14 million dollar donation to the med school helps the students at UNLV. She is full of bull, and quite frankly, I think this shows that Kennedy has the balls to stand up for what he believes is best for the university. She acts like a lobbyist does to a politician.

Does Penn State have a hockey message board? Can't really find anything online, which is surprising given their attendance.

I don't agree that it would necessarily take away a home game, even if it isn't a hof game. If it is a one - off, with a name school, there is a chance that getting them to come to the Ralph, we would need to do a home and home. This allows UND to play a name school, at a favorable neutral site venue, and likely not have to owe a return trip. I'm thinking a program like Penn State would jump at the chance to do Nashville, without requiring much in return. However, I'd speculate that part of the reason Michigan supposedly backed out, or fell through, is because they may have wanted a home game in return, or some other type of compensation. They are notorious for only wanting to play home games.

Or like this - throw enough theories out there and eventually he can tell everyone he was right. Still like his commentary though. Moves will eventually be made.
