Just got a nice email from the alumni association about a pre-hockey celebration... do they send something out for football too?

I want QB sacks.... 3 college games to follow Sat. Not counting the one I want to see whipped.

Any injury update for the game?

Well every woman is using Thrive.... it helps EVERYTHING. A pyramid scene.

Interesting brackets for both

Mascots are important and Vital for the experience of the crowd.... still think the design could have been better... is this one different? If so, it seems to be an improvement over what was riding around the Alerus... that one you could see the under costume in the arms... visual recognition for a 3 1/2 ton5 year old is what’s important

55 Tua Areta The Last Samurai

19 John Knight Yoko Ono

Is this a new one?

Fewer penalties on both sides of the ball was a big improvement!

I love QB sacks....

Got it

Time to change QB.... for the rest of the season.... some bad juju out there on the team... where’s the fire?

Life is simple.... 1) a win 2) no injuries 3) safe travels

So is there a plan or timeline? I see people requesting this but get no other info. It seems to be stalled right now. I am open to someone providing info!

I have listed my thoughts before.... There are many similarities today with where we were with Mussman. There is not an effort the the PII facility. The sponsorship/home game experience has changed.... not for the better. Coaching salaries have been discussed by people who know more than I. The football fundraising has been successful on this site.... not sure about other ways. So I just see us slipping into a dismal black hole and would like that turned around...it is up to admin to do that... AD probably. Bubba coaches he should NOT have to babysit. There needs to be some support for UND football somewhere besides the locker room.

I agree with Ira.... I would be very nervous turning coaches (search and money) over to the alumni assn. and donors... PLUS it is a work-around and not addressing what pa in d employees should be held accountable for.

For the National game.... pre-game the announcers discussed NDSU and their trips to the title game. Then someone corrected them....

Well I support coaches but admin needs to step up with $$$. How can anyone recruit with some other school offering more $$?

must be in the Forum DNA....I read a Forum-owned paper almost daily for area obits... don’t buy it but read it with my 6 am coffee at a restaurant.... very very obvious what communities they favor.... even with local high school sports....a community makes it to state in hockey and nothing in the paper.....so I am not surprised about their negative focus on UND

I agree and no I do not read his column regularly. Maybe he does write often about UND.... it just seemed so... researched? I have done a sports column in our local paper. Currently a recipe column so I respect his research... but a copy of the contract seemed a little overkill. But today, anything to see papers!

Reading the article... that long and in depth ( even Bubba’s contract) makes me wonder what is really happening at JuiceU.... I mean, aren’t they on another run for a natty? Shouldn’t they be promoting the hallowed Bison and not worrying about UND? Something is not being reported.... stir up Sioux stuff and divert attention from the wining Bison? WEIRD!

I donated to the help Bubba campaign... $100 to each of the three funds... I got THREE have written thank yous from alumni staff and football staff, including a hand written thank you from Bubba. I was impressed. Then I got 2 postcards... preprinted on what looked to be UND logos... requesting donations to individual students.... one in nursing (coincidence?) and one who was homeless and living in his car. So what was that? I checked my bank account to make sure I hadn’t signed up for some automatic withdrawal. It is always about money Phase II, coaches salaries, scholarships, etc.

non-coaching issues: Community support and sponsorship Attendance, public student family Ambiance in the Alerus Media... or lack of it Phase 2 facility Promotion of our student athletes IMHO
