Of MN’s top 10 football recruits, four are uncommitted.... just saying. Dorisn Singer Tartan DB/WR has 10 mid level D1 offers being recruited at both positions, exceptional ball skills Terrance Kamari Mpls. North RB Fast (4.5 in 40) and shifty with good vision and a sudden burst through a gap rushed for 2,369 yards and 32 TD in 2019 Joe Alt Torino-Grace TE/OL. Projects as a tackle, son of former Iowa KC Chiefs great John Alt, moves well laterally, understands leverage Jordan Titus Hutchinson DL Wide bade makes him stout in the line and explosive enough to shoot gaps as a tackle

Morning paper: MN Gopher athletics could see $75 M hit from Coronavirus. The U’s athletic spending was $129M 2018 to 2019 season. Best case scenario would be -$10M, moderate loss -$30M, and severe would be -$75M. Don’t know how this compares to UND.... scary times....

I guess the NCAA just cancelled all spring sports in all divisions if I heard correctly.

Yup... library closed.....museum for history researched closed.... no sports on TV or radio.....at least I can sew. Negativity is surely flowing. Sewing masks for health care helps.... I was worried about the fall season from the get go. Even the teams we play not just ND... depends on what each state says about changing this isolation stuff. ***What would be a drop down date to decide about the fall season... of course it is the NCAA but when would we know???***

I totally missed the prices... will look for a date they go on sale and how soon the season starts with this COVID-19.

So when do season tickets go on sale and how much, generally? Will need to check my schedule!

My biggest disappointment is right now...COVID-19. Nothing we can control but this will not be resolved until September and maybe not until November.

Saw on FB (for what it is worth) that UND May close after spring break due to the corona virus. Will this affect spring ball and/or S & C?

You mean to tell me there is more than one JuiceU???? WOW siouxphan and Geaux would know!

East coast colleges build these so athletes can stay together... popular trend....

Good things happen to people who wait! Great News!

WOW... what an awesome young man...

Approximately 196 days to get ‘er done.... that is counting weekends and legal holidays.

Great focus.... the GAME.... love this whole post.

A BIG ditto!

Oh and a very close second.... name and mascot change. GO SIOUX!

Coaching changes, for whatever reason, that we’re too frequent. No finger pointing or specific person/reason.....just a fact.

Does anyone know if they are working on the announcer situation and not waiting until the second week of August? Just wondering!

Great comments... we ARE talking public money here. Yes, donations too but this is public property.... should be transparent, I would think.

Should we have tents then?

Good Luck Mason!!!

Well in MN, St. Thomas got voted out of the MN Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. They are requesting going from D3 right to D1... NCAA rules say you have to be D2 for 5 years. So, the NCAA Vision and Planning Committee ( doesn’t everyone have a committee like that?) was positive. The change must be approved by the Division I Council which meets in April. Seems some rules can change....

Thank you.... do you think a 4.0 student in a science program who is paying her/his own way, other than academic scholarships, would wonder why??? We are talking about public dollars or are these private/foundation dollars.

WOW.... not sure how I feel about this.....do colleges do “cost of attendance” for non-athletes??

The parameters were fuzzy.... how many hours were just “life.” To many gray areas in this whole NCAA issue...
