This guy approves.

No...that particular monorail is being built in Shelbyville.

Pretty non-scientific analysis, especially when you compare the retail/resale market for used and/or knockoff items (heavily favors eBay and Sioux) to that for new and officially licensed product (many more, and more reputable, outlets for Hawks gear). Adjust for that, and then the data will begin to make sense, and potentially be more persuasive. I still use the eye-test at the Alerus and Ralph, where the Hawks are definitely gaining ground.

Nice write-up, but, OOF...that spelling. https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/football/two-omahans-will-play-at-memorial-stadium-for-first-time-against-nebraska/article_ebcd38aa-28b0-11ed-a0cd-6fc6e543c330.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_OWHhuskers Although, if the game ends in a rout, they will have seemed prescient.

This is a huge nothingburger. Heck, at Hogwarts, they let the dearly departed mingle with the students in the dining hall.

On the last day of August, my true love gave to me...

Started a new thread.

Since the talk in last year's thread is staring to pick back up and already looking ahead...

Devil's advocate here, but I'd rather win without one. NIL is destined to ruin college sports anyway. Why not buck the trend and compete straight up? Players who would come here only for the easy money are probably here for the wrong reason.

Les Maveriques.

ND's Tom Hoge sitting at T10 heading into the final day of the Tour Championship...looks to be a very nice payday. Also reportedly in the mix for a spot on the Presidents' Cup roster. Whether it's a bug or a feature of the system, it definitely shows that playing well early in the season and notching at least one W can offset a mediocre summer.

This caption from the Lincoln, NE newspaper caught my eye. Wonder who they'll be cheering for next week. And how they got out of GF with our airport closed.

PGA Tour announces sweeping changes re: player participation and compensation. No matter how anyone might try to spin it, LIV moved the needle, and the PGA was caught with its pants down. My question is...will anyone give credit where credit is due? Greg Norman has now done as much for players financially as Tiger before him.

Possibly, but the news ~10 years ago was full of stories like this.

Tonight's openers: GFC 35 Watford City 0 GFRR 43 Williston 14 I always kind of figured that the population boom in the oil patch would generate athletic success, especially with influx of workers from FB-crazy TX and OK. Still on track, or have we seen a crest?

I haven't watched until tonight, but I'm guessing based on the advertising alone that the TV viewership may be on par with the live attendance. I mean, woof! Bladder control, final expense insurance, talc powder feminine hygiene class actions...WhoTF do they think is watching this stuff?

This guy certainly looks no worse for the wear. And he's quite a football player, and has Hot Legs at that.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I've merely provided a nuanced and informed, though perhaps inconvenient, translation. The relevant facts speak for themselves. Of course, your mileage may vary.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/new-und-student-body-president-vice-president-ready-to-lead-universitys-students-this-fall Hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the academic heart of campus. Brand new business school. Brand new memorial union built for - and paid for - by students. New student housing nearing completion. Countless aesthetic improvements along University Ave. And two prominent students - specifically the elected student leaders - chose this photo to submit to the Herald, and the Herald ran it. Backdrop is a 20-year-old hockey arena (albeit a really, really nice one), with the old (and endlessly controversial) logo plainly visible, with the very future of college athletics hanging in the balance. A campaign photo, most likely, which speaks volumes about how students still connect with their peers, and where their priorities lie. THIS is why progress is hard, folks. Re-branding UND post-Sioux is not a years-long, or even decades-long process. If moving on ever happens, it will be generations from now. Yes, a single snapshot - both literally and metaphorically - but one might wonder whether all the aforementioned campus improvements matter to anyone but the old folks, and whether the vast majority of students really view UND as much more than a hockey/party school.

The lack of first-day commits is due to: a) ND’s abortion trigger law b) Rydell not ponying up enough NIL cash c) In a word, Fufeng d) Aging facilities, small Jumbotron, and dated locker/weight rooms e) All of the above
