SkoHawks Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So last year we already had the season ticket renewal raffle going on. This year I haven't heard a thing about season ticket renewal yet, we're already behind last year. Shouldn't have any excuses with an AD that's had a year on the job, and the hockey team shitting the bed again so wrapping up that season earlier than normal. Anyone have any info if we're doing this kind of thing again? I thought it was a nice touch and another way to generate interest.

Exclusive Prize ListWeek No. 1 (renew by April 7, 2018): Trip for two to the Washington road game It seemed like the raffle was publicized in the early rounds but went quiet as the rounds went on. I’m wondering if that had anything to do with the fact that a majority of the winners have direct ties to the football program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be enough to sellout every game!! Oh I'm definitely renewing my tickets, just thought it was a fun way to promote UND football. Even if they aren't doing a raffle they could still be promoting to renew your tickets. You are definitely right on having more reasons to renew this year. Remember, 6 home games is only the minimum, would you be happy with the minimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - he wants to compete (and win) in all of our sports. He knows he has a lot of things to address - including where to find the $ to do many of the things that are necessary for us to compete and be successful.

As far as focusing on facilities, his predecessor got the HPC built, got the Alerus to make significant upgrades over the years, invented a conference for hockey, and had a ton of other REALLY TOUGH decisions to make, which for the most part he handled admirably. Chaves has been basically invisible during his first year here. Seems more interested in talking about pro soccer, the Boston Red Sox, and his fond memories of the Hartford Whalers than he is in the state of North Dakota basketball. I bet I was able to personally communicate with Brian Faison personally a dozen times either face-to-face or via email during his first year here. Chaves doesn't seem to bother with answering emails from small time alums like me, and I've never run into him at an event thus far. But for some reason Faison got the reputation of being aloof and arrogant, even though he always had the time to answer my questions, shake my hand, and even remember my name. It's still early, but color me unimpressed with Chaves so far............... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guy doesn’t provide much true dedication to the entirety of UND athletics via SM posts, comments, podcasts, etc. and the small-time alumni, especially, in my opinion are forgotten and/or ignored. Like I said earlier, hopefully Chaves eventually proves me wrong. As long as HPC Phase II gets done sooner rather than later, I’ll be content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
