Colter_Nuanez Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Greetings UND fans,Colter Nuanez here. I'm the director of creativity and senior writer for Skyline Sports, a new independent subscription-based newspaper-style website covering the Big Sky Conference. Some of you may know me as the guy who formerly ran Bobcat Beat, an online news gathering outlet covering Montana State athletics in association with the message board Bobcat Nation. I've covered the league for various newspapers since 2006. You can read more about us here: http://skylinesportsmt.com/about-us/ With our new endeavor, we will have beat reporting about Montana State along with frequent features and podcasts about all the other teams in the Big Sky. I wanted to introduce myself to those of you who do not know me and let you know that I will be providing features and other coverage about North Dakota throughout the season. I frequent this board because I love Big Sky football and because of that, I know that some of you do know me. Last season, I wrote and broadcast on our podcast that I thought UND would struggle. Some of you took me to task! I was proven wrong and I admitted such on our most recent UND podcast. Our goal is to reach a point where we can cover the entire league with the same prevalence. Any interest we can get going at UND would be a huge plus. Thanks for reading, nice to meet you and don't hesitate to drop a line with comments, questions or feedback.

nodak651 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks Colter! I really enjoyed being able to the the conference call. Question: I'm interested in a premium membership for skyline sports, but don't want to pull out the credit card without going for a test drive. Do you or will you have any type of free trial? I'm thinking only like 1 day to 1 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
