2018-19 Season

[HAWKS1]

1 Question  -  How can Geno start at Gonzaga in Oct. if he is still enrolled at UND.  Won't graduate UND until Dec.???

[UND1983]

In that podcast Geno called himself a "leader".  

[Dagger]

If you ever wondered if athletes read the chat lines. Geno apparently spent a lot time reading them. Maybe he should of spent more time studying or trying to be a better team player. He apparently didn’t think he had enough talent on the team around for  him to be successful. He was all about himself. See you later. 

[Risky]

I wouldn’t be surprised that we will have a better year this year than last year  without Crandall 

[Siouxphan27]

I look forward to the day he dons a McDonalds visor and wonders to himself where it all went wrong.

Watch out it was mentioned in podcast that his dad was thinking about heading up to ND to address those dissing is son on social media

Dear Mr C, 

The folks you are looking for hang out at the NE corner of University and 12th Ave N in Fargo.
There's a bar there; just walk in and start trash talking and you'll find them.

Gotta say I've never been a fan of the #pledgeyourloyalty bit. 

[SiouxVolley]

What’s with the schedule delay?  Is it because Mayville and Valley City are having trouble with their dates?  Practically all DI schools have their schedules published.

UND picked last for the Summit by Zimmer.

Nowhere to go but up

[SIOUXFAN97]

after seeing this schedule i'm fully convinced that having und play 10 money games on the road against p5 teams (and maybe winning a couple) would be better than this garbage we get year in and year out.

Two decent D1 non-conference home games. Guessing we'll see some sort of return from Utah Valley, Montana State and/or UT Rio.

Contractually, have to go to Ut Valley because of our home game last year.

UTRGV is part of the WAC/Summit challenge, which will go on.  UTRGV may not have to schedule in GF, but the WAC will.

Montana St and Idaho are part of the limited (four teams each) Big Sky/Summit challenge.  Montana and E Wash may be substitituted next year.

Knew there was something on them, thanks for the clarification.

2011-2012 season we had 4 non DI's on the schedule... Waldorf College, Jamestown, Mayville St, and Valley City St. UND finished 17-15 that season, our last season in the Great West.

An article on scheduling buy games.

https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2018/10/syracuse_pays_basketball_opponents_to_hopefully_lose_how_buy_games_work.html

Getting $100k is about the max.  Many mid majors have buy games if they have a big gate or TV contract.  $65 k is about the bottom for a buy game.
