  8. After talking to multiple folks in EGF when this came out, (my day job is reporter and salesperson for the Exponent, a weekly newspaper in East Grand Forks). This seems like an unsubstantiated rumor at best for now.
  9. I will not re write the 1000 plus words I have put up to explain what I am asking for except to say this. I have seen many people on this site asking for alternatives to the Herald and other paywalled news sites. I have provided that for free since April of 2016 co-founding Seamore Sports with my wife (she inspired this). I want to, if i get funding for it, take Seamore Sports full time and cover UND and any team whose fans feel that they do not get the coverage they deserve. If you want to support free to read independent journalism with a different take than the Herald or a different perspective on any UND sport I can attend or watch, along with features on players of all sports than the donate link is at the bottom of the page. It is paypal for now but over time we will be adding more perks and features for our supporters. For now, if you want a listing I will list you and if you run a business your business as a supporter of independent free to read journalism right here in this wonderful town. We will be adding YouTube, podcasting, and more as funds allow us to do. Click the link, read our story and donate/share if you feel so inclined. If you want specific coverage on a team/issue around college sports that is not getting covered and you donate, send me a direct message on Twitter at Seamore Sports. Sioux Sports has driven our traffic and I hope it can help kick start us in the next step to provide a service so many have asked for on other threads.

    Here is that ability, I will credit you or your business for donations of any amount, we are looking to grow Seamore Sports as much as possible, and if you want coverage of all UND Sports on a full time basis without a paywall, donate. If I can get enough consistent support I will cover UND sports and other teams whose fans would like to donate full time, all coverage will be sponsored by fans and businesses and it will all be free to read. If you own or run an area business and want to donate something for say a giveaway or sponsor some recaps send me a message here or on the Seamore Sports Twitter page. Read all the way to the bottom for the paypal link. I want to provide Sioux Sports and everyone as much coverage of UND as possible and the way to help with that is honestly, financial support. You will be listed as a sponsor and I will have a recurring list of all supporters of any level at the beginning of every single article I write. If you have the means to, please consider donating. I am a father of an 11 month old and a husband who wants to be the first to have a crowdfunded platform for UND and any other school's fans that want independent journalism. Here is the link: https://seamoresports.com/2019/10/23/looking-ahead-support-independent-journalism/ (paypal is at the bottom) We will be adding videos and more features as we get the funding to do so.

    if you want to read articles about UND Sports, check out seamoresports.com I have been the only writer to write multiple Soccer recaps, written some football, volleyball, hockey, really as much as possible! We are looking to open an ability for those who want to donate to help my wife and I do this full time to do so. If you donate I will include thanks for you in the article. If you want journalism without a paywall read seamore sports and follow on twitter. The more that donate the more we can do.
  12. Hi everyone, this is a post with the goal of finding out thoughts of this idea. Given comments on other threads in this and other forums about the need for "free content" and the appreciation for some of my work through Seamore Sports (my wife is a part of this to, she inspired this whole thing and co-runs it and take the pictures.. go like Violet Turtle Photography for some of her wonderful work). I had an idea, I have pitched it to schools needing more coverage but want to offer it to you, the people whom without I would not have over 30k views since starting this without spending a dime on ads, all while working a full time job/being a student/ raising an 11 month old with my wife. The idea: work with individuals/businesses in the area to provide sponsored posts on teams or sponsorship of XXXX posts per year, in order to provide content to everyone in the region and beyond. I will spend a certain amount (10-15 percent at scale) of monies on further promoting posts and creating new content. I am the only writer in the local media to write more than one soccer recap this year, and if I could cover UND full time to all of those who want to see it and grow Seamore Sports with my wife, I can provide new and unique angles to content.. features, more in game observations, interviews, road game blogs, I am open to all of those things and if perhaps the people of Sioux Sports wanted to be involved or knew folks who to contact that would be awesome. The end goal, have multiple sponsors to create posts about ALL UND Sports (I would write about as much as I could and sponsors would get mentions in posts they pay for, and I could partner with them to do giveaways and other things as the channel grows ( I would write about other schools who need more coverage with this model as well and some non sponsored content but that which sponsors pay for comes first)) The best part for all of you in this NO Paywall in any way and nothing but content for you to watch/listen to/read (the first two would come as sponsors come and the writing would go on!

  13. Soccer won two crucial road matches and is 3-1 in the Summit League and 1 win away from their best d1 season, also second in the summit league. Come out Thursday and watch! It should be a great game at 3 pm. Also volleyball played tough defense against SDSU before losing in 4 sets after the DU game was postponed. I will be covering as much as I can for Seamore Sports.
  14. Having covered LSSU's goalie Mitens since 2016 and following LSSU close a bit, that result could be indicative of an improved LSSU team, if you have a second look at some of the games Mitens has won or nearly won for Latvia in 2016 at the U18s against teams full of guys now playing in the NHL. LSSU's biggest question is replacing scoring that left imo.
  15. Recap from tonight, the faceoff dot was an interesting stat again to look at, read and let me know your thoughts. https://seamoresports.com/2019/10/13/eight-unanswered-how-und-earned-a-series-sweep-over-canisius-and-now-what/
  16. Recap with some beyond the box score thoughts for both teams.. feedback welcome! https://seamoresports.com/2019/10/12/fighting-hawks-earn-5-0-season-opening-win-over-canisius-two-thoughts/
  17. Check out a recap with Berry's thoughts on the goalie order, and some of his praise for a player who did not score tonight. https://seamoresports.com/2019/10/05/und-hockey-unpacking-a-5-1-exhibition-win/
  18. For a little bit more on the game yesterday and how much of a thriller it was, check out my recap. https://seamoresports.com/2019/10/04/und-soccer-what-a-game/

    Some thoughts on tonight from press row combined with what to watch for from this team going forward. Really liked the blocking in set two and Akron played 6 sets today, UND made them earn really one set of the six (set 2) other than that the Zips were playing great. Check out the recap! https://seamoresports.com/2019/09/20/zips-race-past-und-volleyball-to-clinch-und-classic-title-3-0/
  20. Here is why (I know you guys come out) more people should be watching UND Soccer, looking beyond the Box Score of the loss in a game where they lead a fringe at large team in Boise State shows how far this program has come. Read it and let me know your thoughts on mine https://seamoresports.com/2019/09/20/und-soccer-why-you-should-be-watching/

    Neukirk would be playing in the spot that Darian/Antic rotated in, if you can, come watch EWU take on Akron at 12:30, will give you a good sense of a different challenge that UND faces from Akron tonight, their main setter can also attack and this is a Zips team that height wise is a little taller than UND.

    VOLLEYBALL RECAP! .. check it out, liked Rutten and the balance of this team, starts seem to be key and Tiffin acknowledged as much as the game bore out, read it and let me know your thoughts. One thing about EWU, before tonight they were 2-0 in five set matches and have a superb Libero in Puaoo Sao that averages nearly 5-6 digs a set, she helped EWU take that first set as UND battled back. https://seamoresports.com/2019/09/20/defense-and-flashes-of-brilliance-mark-und-volleyball-five-set-win-over-eastern-washington/

  24. 360 is awesome! I learn a lot from them on UND football which informs my writing, I cover every UND sport I am able to (football, basketball, volleyball,soccer just to name some).
  25. Follow along with my coverage of UND football and UND sports, follow Seamore Sports on Twitter and check out our site here. https://seamoresports.com/ , I will be covering the UND classic for volleyball this weekend, at UND pro day for Hockey and I cover as much UND sport as I can along with my wife who co-founded this with me (it was her idea)
