MplsBison Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 The only one I see on there is the CEO of Cargill, but being a CEO doesn't get you billions. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 The only one I see on there is the CEO of Cargill, but being a CEO doesn't get you billions. I think you missed something, namely .... No. But he should be. Dale Lennon's been rather jovial lately for some reason .... Quote
MplsBison Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Is he on this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_billi...2007%29_102-946 , then? Quote
jimdahl Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Oh, oh, I wanna play. Is the person you're thinking of Canadian? If so, it's not that hard to figure out if you dig deep enough. Quote

MplsBison Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Well I'll be danged if I can find a single person on that billionaire list who even attended UND. I thought of Bobcat, but I don't see anyone on there. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 There's nothing in Canada but Eskimos, right? Quote
GeauxSioux Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 There's nothing in Canada but Eskimos, right? It wasn't who I was thinking, but I figured out who you are talking about. Quote
moser53 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I saw him introduced at halftime at the UND football game. Just after that I ran into him in the bathroom. I told him I enjoyed watching him play at UND when I was in high school here in GF. I thanked him for coming back. He said it is nice to be back. Seems like a real down to earth fella. I do not have the rank to give out his name. Besides I may be wrong. Quote
siouxjoy Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 It only took me, like, 800 clues, but I figured it out, too. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Well can i get one more clue Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 It only took me, like, 800 clues, but I figured it out, too. Well can i get one more clue Sorry, we're running an 800 clue limit this week. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Sorry, we're running an 800 clue limit this week. Im afraid im to young to get this one i'll have to wait til someone lets the secret out. Quote
MplsBison Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Well I looked at every Canadian billionaire on the Forbes list and none of them studied at UND. So apparently this guy didn't want to be listed. Quote
Kermit Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Hmm.. http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/minewe...6&sn=Detail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Fennell http://www.miramarmining.com/s/BoardofDirectors.asp Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Hmm.. http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/minewe...6&sn=Detail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Fennell http://www.miramarmining.com/s/BoardofDirectors.asp Is HE worth that much? Is the company going to sponsor a stadium? Coach Lennon has been pretty happy lately being his season just ended... Quote
MplsBison Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 No wonder I couldn't figure it out, the guy's not a billionaire. Quote
LennonIsTheMan Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I know exactly who you are talking about. However, I'm not sure that he himself is worth that much money. I believe he is a high ranking executive of the company that is worth over a billion. I also believe that said individual will be around UND Football a lot more in the future and will be donating some of his "resources". I wasn't aware that this was such a big secret. But, when in Rome. I guess I won't be the one to spill the beans. Quote
MplsBison Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I guess I won't be the one to spill the beans. The beans were spilled a few posts ago. Quote
GeauxSioux Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 UND steps up scholarship campaign When I posted the link to the possible new football stadium last week, I asked the question how does it look. There was a response that it was too open. Now I know why...And in case Sioux football ever outgrows the Alerus Center, an outdoor stadium with a retractable roof is part of the facilities plan. The biggest need, though, is an indoor practice facility. UND's master plan includes a practice facility with a 300-meter running track. The price tag is estimated at $15 to $19 million. Another facility in the master plan is a soccer field with a regulation running track.UND also must find a way to address basketball. The men's and women's teams could at some point outgrow the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. School officials are looking at possible BESC expansion or playing in another venue, such as Ralph Engelstad Arena, for high-interest games. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 1, 2007 Author Posted December 1, 2007 And in case Sioux football ever outgrows the Alerus Center, an outdoor stadium with a retractable roof is part of the facilities plan. Retractable roof? Swe-e-e-e-et. The biggest need, though, is an indoor practice facility. UND's master plan includes a practice facility with a 300-meter running track. The price tag is estimated at $15 to $19 million. Another facility in the master plan is a soccer field with a regulation running track. The price tag for an indoor facility was more like $10-12 million not that long ago. Interesting. UND also must find a way to address basketball. The men's and women's teams could at some point outgrow the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. School officials are looking at possible BESC expansion or playing in another venue, such as Ralph Engelstad Arena, for high-interest games. If UND FB were to move out of the Alerus Center, and needed a bigger venue for basketball, would Alerus Center be considered, or is that implicit in that line? Quote
mksioux Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 If UND FB were to move out of the Alerus Center, and needed a bigger venue for basketball, would Alerus Center be considered, or is that implicit in that line? The Betty opened in 2004, and in 2007 they are already talking about a way to "address basketball" and outgrowing the Betty. But it sure will be a nice volleyball facility. And I don't see where it's implicit in the comment that the Alerus is a possibility. Quote

Doesn't "such as" leave open the possibility of other locations? Quote
mksioux Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Doesn't "such as" leave open the possibility of other locations? Maybe technically you are correct from a grammatical context, but the possibility must not be all that strong if it didn't warrant a specific mention along with the Ralph. After all, the Alerus is a football stadium. I know basketball can be played there, but do you really think it's an ideal venue for a Division I basketball program? The ideal option for basketball long-term is a new facility. Yes, there are other options, but none of them fit very well. That's why the Betty, and the lack of foresight it represents, was such a waste of donated dollars. Quote
