She was running the reading bus and had a surprise volunteer. Well let's just say Tim Dulin left quite the impression. She sang his praises to me and I can say that the Tim Dulin fan club is at least one strong as of today. His humility, work ethic, politeness, and, most of all, his enthusiasm for reading to kids completely blew her away. Hats off to Tim Dulin, and I hope this season is as successful as his first impression was with my mom. Always good to hear reports like this.

northernraider Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Home start times have been released. The closest to a night game is against USD at 4 pm, which seems like a TV broadcast time to me. Sept. 17 South Dakota 4 p.m. Oct. 1 Cal Poly 1 p.m. Oct. 15 Southern Utah 1 p.m. Oct. 29 Weber State 1 p.m. Nov. 12 Northern Arizona 1 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for the start times to come out to see whether I should purchase season tickets or not. Wish there were more evening games or even earlier. 1pm is right in the heart of the day, makes it tough to get anything else done. Guess it is TV or Single game tickets for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I love the progression of this season's schedule. The players will have something to get them amped up almost every week: Stony Brook: First game of the year (come out swinging like we did against WYO last season) Typically, the biggest strides are made by teams between 1st and 2nd weeks (there are exceptions, such as last year against Drake) Bowling Green: FBS opponent -- UND and FCS pride on the line. USD: First home game of the year -- a chance to get the Alerus rocking on Potato Bowl against an old NCC and Great West foe. Montana State -- First league game of the year (on the road). Leave no doubt. Cal Poly -- Back at the Alerus Center, Poly will be looking for revenge but will find it hard to run the triple option against a stout run defense and the crowd noise. Sac State -- Let's keep the ball rolling on the road against a team on the mend. SUU -- Back home to take on another team in a bit of transition after a stellar 2015 ISU -- Pay back for us Weber -- Same as above UNC -- Got to guard against a let down against a young team with lots of talent at skill positions NAU -- For all the marbles, hopefully, at home against QB Case Cooksus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeder11 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but I'm hoping to make Root Sports want to rethink its decision to go with Davis at Mont. State on Nov. 12 over NAU at UND. I'm sure these things are set in stone but it would be fun to make them contemplate a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDColorado Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Living in MTN time zone i like the 12 PM kickoff, leaves me the afternoon to go do other things. That is just my selfish opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a selfish way, I like the 1 pm game because its when my kids go down for nap. On the other hand, it makes getting yard work/house work/etc. difficult to get done.

I believe they had a 4pm start for the Drake game last season. Otherwise all 1pm I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernraider Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Maybe we can save the night games for playoffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 In 2001, the first year indoors, we had night games pretty much the entire month of September. Sometimes, they were on a Friday night instead of Saturday night. And they were a lot of fun. Hockey doesn't start until October, so there is no excuse not to do this again. Highlighting the FB program in the evening when no other sports are playing would help Bubba build the program. But I suppose it just makes too much sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
