There will be opportunities, hopefully very soon, to show if he indeed will support both athletic programs, although many would prefer he support his alma mater preferentially. As a reminder, it is difficult to just support both, as they do compete head-to-head. His predecessor was quite one-sided despite the outside sentiment of supporting both. We’ll see with 2025 Kelly … I’m hopeful, although the Lets. Go. Bison. look is a bad start. 

I guess supporting NDSU for big program games like NCAA title is acceptable. However, if it’s UND vs NDSU, I hope he would promote UND

He's a politician. Needs to butter both sides of the bread.

When (not if) UND makes it to Frisco, we'll see how enthusiastic Armstrong is about it.

From the sounds of it Frisco may possibly never host again.

My point stands. If Armstrong is at an NDSU basketball home game while we are playing for an FCS title, it will be clear which side of his bread has butter on it.

If the Governor of the North Dakota can't root for UND, and UND only,we might as well go back to being a territory.

He needs votes in Fargo you know. He is the ONLY person in the State who has to publicly support both teams/ town/ schools.

If he gets as excited about great accomplishments by UND teams as he does NDSU teams, then he's being consistent and I won't have a problem with him.

My guess is that Armstrong will support both teams equally. Along with all North Dakota schools. I think this is a nonissue and to be expected.

Do we know for sure if Hembry has decided if he is back or not?

[Hans8891]

Kelly is a good friend of mine.  I guarantee you that he is a strong UND supporter.  No Governor of this state is going to fail to support one of its two largest universities is playing for a national championship.  He would have to be an idiot not to do that from a political standpoint.  WHEN we get to the point of making it that far, I would not be surprised if Kelly makes the pilgrimage to attend.  Kelly has been at our tailgating trailer for UND football many times and I expect will do so in the future - just not during pheasant season…. He goes to Sioux hockey games as well.

I was wondering about this as well.  I haven’t heard anything

It's too bad Chaves had to let this thing hit rock bottom before bringing in Schmidt.  Schmidt (or a Schmidt like candidate) should have started 2-3 years ago.  Watching this game and the NDSU/SDSU game makes a guy realize how far away UND is.

If you think this is rock bottom, you have a short memory. The program was in significantly worse shape before Bubba took over.

I will apologize for him, he was only referring to MBB, WBB, VB, SB, & Soccer.  You are correct, FB is in a slightly better spot having won zero playoff games in 11 seasons.

[Und246]

Did we win one playoff game?  Maybe not.

He might have to watch from the comforts of his bed at Shady Acres Nursing Home, but I guess we’ll see…
