agree with this!

Coach Schmidt said this morning that Rucker is ahead of schedule 😈

Couldn’t it be because more and more students are graduating early or on time? I’d say following a record enrollment up with another record in today’s world is a pretty good thing.

Great for Grand Forks and UND. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/grand-forks-city-council-approves-tax-incentive-for-ray-richards-golf-course-development

Agreed. Unique type of travel/stadium setup, unknowns with their new staff and personnel, etc. UND will face a bit more adversity this week. I think they’ll respond to it the right way, though. The veteran guys will lead the way.

Lotta young guys got valuable reps. Competition starts to ramp up this week. First road game and Portland State nearly knocked off UC Davis in week 1. Side note: Sounds like Rucker is already wearing tennis shoes. 😃

Should be a better crowd today if the students show up again. As long as they’re not harvesting and hunting near their lake place

Game day! 😁

From the bottom of this article from today: Heard from Link that the first day enrollment number was 15,465 students. The official fall enrollment number will be confirmed on census day, Sept. 21. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/three-und-programs-flagged-as-low-completion-in-draft-state-report From a UND blog post in August 2025: UND’s first-day headcount this week came in at 15,440. https://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2025/08/first-day-enrollment-at-und-sets-record/ The Herald article uses the word enrollment, which is different than head count I believe. Not sure if comparing apples to apples here or not

Anyone willing to take on the mess that is Columbia Mall, should be able to. Current ownership clearly doesn’t care about it

I get your point but a Saturday game at 3 o clock is different for people who have kids or work on Fridays vs a 7 pm week night game

Should definitely be a bigger walk up crowd than last Thursday.

Another one worth mentioning: Bo Belquist is working for the UND Alumni Association as an Associate Director of Development, Athletics.

Looks like Cooper Baumgart, a QB out of IA, will be there, as well as Cohen Phillips, a WR/DB from IA. Guessing lots more, but those are confirmed via X.

I’m certainly missing some. Feel free to help me out. Doesn’t appear Seidl (Wake Forest) or Olagbaju (Iowa) are on either of their teams two deep for Game 1 Brady O and Evan Holm tearing it up for Winnipeg again. Brady is leading the CFL in rushing yards again. Holm with 47 tackles. Quincy Vaughn is 3rd in the CFL in rushing TDs with 8. Ventrelli has started 11 games for Montreal Waletzko on Chiefs IR Kuper is the Eagles OL coach Hagen made the Texans roster Kilty on Saints practice squad
