JFC you're a one trick pony.

You think this money fell out of the sky? Your exalted Gene Taylor took forever to find 35 million for the SHAC and STILL fucked that up.

They got 50 million for this IPF in 3 years and shovels are already in the ground.

Methinks Chapo should just become a Gophers fan so he can watch a "nationally relevant" team.

So you want him to enter NDSU in the "transfer portal" and hope a better conference invites us and then look dumb when nobody has after 10 years.

Alot of extremely valid points made in this post.

I just want him to make ANY statement, not veiled in double speak etc about whether or not they desire FBS or not, notice the crumbling FCS or not, and what-if anything- they are doing or have done within their power to address the situation, or if they believe there is nothing to be addressed in the first place!

There is a giant F*cking elephant in the room and he has pretended to ignore it publicly for 6 months. He has addressed that an elephant exists and but has purposefully stated nothing of substance about what the hell their approach to the elephant is.

If they want to stay #FCSforever, state it publicly and reap the consequences/benefits of it. Just be honest about your position with your donors, and we could put alot of this to rest instead of keeping so many of us on the hook donating more and more for something the admin has no interest in in the first place. So irresponsible and dishonest, for ML not to be forthright in their intentions. Its astonishing how no one is holding his feet to the fire on this

Exactly. I prefer having Kolpack, Izzo and McFeely do the PR work on this question. Let ML stay "clean", although I disagree about the "still here in 10 years" thing. I expect we’ll be long gone by then. Hopefully we all live long enough to see it …

Fundraise the City, University the amount of money around town is what's a good word for it. Unbelievable.
Uncle Doug always comes through.

People in Grand Forks think a downtown Grocery store is something Fargo is jealous of. Ha

Why did the Blattner Company or any other Minnesota company allow the U of Minnesota cut athletic programs?

How many cities in America have an endless supply of cash like this one? Lucky city.

Mayan revival is great and so is Nativity


As a previous resident of downtown Grand Forks and downtown Fargo, a downtown grocery is something Fargo should be very jealous of. For that matter downtown Grand Forks in many ways is better than downtown Fargo now.

I guess it's not a priority in Fargo. Challenge these guys and see what happens.
Maybe there running out of room.

How about a 75 Million Dollar downtown Basketball arena. Before the game and after the game Bison Burgers and Buds.
How about a new 250 Million Football Dome Downtown. Make room.

Top it off with an invite to The Big 12.

I hope NDSU is smart enough to let Blattner flip the coin Saturday or at least recognize them in the president's suite besides daylryple getting his free tickets

Can I say how much I despise that we have to announce whatever politician has graced us with their attendance every frickin gameday??? Who the F cares?

BS - GF is limited on everything and Hugo's downtown will be a money loser but they're the only game in town so they don't care.

Epic razed the hotel so that kinda sucks, but on the other hand Grand Forks has a downtown state park and a sixteen-plex theatre. The surviving pre-flood architecture is better though.

Downtown Hugo's should make big money since there isn't another grocery within 3 miles.
