If the student-athlete wants to be a pharmacist they'll choose a school with a pharmacy program. If the student-athlete wants to be a pilot they'll choose a school with an aviation program.

Nope. Just Dilberitos.

Christian Wolanin seems to be of the same status.

My original post had a mistake: Stitt and Case were at Texas State (not North Texas) in 2019.

Um. Why is everyone focusing on Cedric Case? Has he announced he's leaving Texas State? He followed Stitt once; wouldn't he follow Stitt again? Until there's something more to talk about regarding Cedric Case, I'd say move along. Frankly, Chris Helbig (SUU) is more conversation-worthy because he is in the NCAA Transfer Portal.

As a football coach, agree. As a resource who has studied how successful people and organizations operate, Adams is worth a listen.

Has he appeared in an NHL game this season?

And I'm going to say it and ruffle some football fans: To my eye, UND Hockey has a system that takes them directionally to their goals. After a couple down seasons, their system forced them to take stock (and I'm pretty sure it bruised egos along the way), responsibilities changed, they evolved, and improved. Take a page.

Bubba had a goal of a 7 win season. NDSU has a system that adapts and adjusts to maximize what they have, and develops what they don't. Don't believe me? 'Statuesque' in the pocket Carson Wentz versus the poor-man's Lamar Jackson* named Trey Lance. <-- NDSU wins with either, but not in the same ways. They have a system. So ... we know UND had a goal. How about we start creating a UND Football system, a system that evolves, improves, and survives ego, that increases the odds of success, or at least getting lucky, and reduces stupidity. *That is intended as a compliment.

Hence my recommended reading list. Not changing, because it worked before, so it'll work again (history repeats doncha know), is loserthink.

" ... how to avoid mental prisons ... " And Chapter 7 in "How to Fail ..." (link above) is a pretty good resource on topic also.

Chairman of Ownership Group: Mark Chipman (honorary, Mark didn't play hockey at UND, he played football at UND) Coach: Dave Tippett Assistant Coach: Dave Hakstol Goalie: Dell Forwards: Toews, Parise, Oshie, Rowney, Jost, Boeser, Zajac, N Schmaltz Defense: Stecher, Poolman,

Welcome to the 2019-20 Edition of the All UND-in-the-NHL Team. To be eligible to be listed the player must have appeared* in one NHL game during the 2019-20 season and have played college hockey for the University of North Dakota. *Goaltenders get special dispensation: If they dress and sit on the NHL bench as the backup for a game it counts.

I would get two books for each member of the football staff and make them read both between now and January 1. How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. Specifically read Chapter 8 "Systems Trump Goals": I'm pretty sure NDSU has a system that gets them to their goals and they focus on their system. Loserthink by Scott Adams. The book is a tutorial on how to avoid mental prisons and escape the cycle of loserthink.

UND looks smaller and lighter than about every opponent. We look like HS kids out there against "25 year old Canadians" to steal the hockey analogy. Why is that?

I thought they (GFH) were promoting the interim president for the job.

I’m more interested in Stitt than Case.

The Dolphins with the fake field goal trickeration!

I put the duff of the 47 yard attempt as a morale buster.

Bubba saying in his press conference that they expected a 7 win season tells me he has the wrong mindset to lead this program. UND Football needs a new system.

He looks like a sugar beet farmer that wandered in and somehow ended up on the sideline.

North Dakota Football needs to implement a 21st century system top to bottom.

That is pure #loserthink by Bubba. Someone needs to greet a copy of the book “Loserthink” to the whole staff.

So many issues (gashed by the run, duff a field goal attempt, inability to run the ball, not focusing on ball security on your own goal line) that all point to preparedness, mentally or schematically. And that can only be put on coaching.

Be kind to the Minnesota fans: All they have right now is their empty feelings of superiority. They just got swept, at home, by the Fighting Hawks.
