  1. If the accusations of MIP w/o team sanction are true it is more reason to ... Fire Muss.

    (There. I said it. Happy Bison fans? Beware however, because now it's been said and will be fired your direction also.)

  2. Bresciani's view of some of his constituency is interesting.

    I wonder who else in his constituency he is "not interested in visiting with".

    PS - Is Bresciani's use of "Russian roulette" hostile and abusive to my ancestry? :D

  3. Heck, if we can have however many pages on UND shuttle buses, why not talk about the NDSU dance team foibles.

    In an Aug. 27 email, NDSU President Dean Bresciani wrote, with the subject line “Dance Team Drama: “As you may know, they and the parents are on the warpath … again.”

    WARPATH? Seriously? Tsk. Tsk. Dean. Not very PC of you.

    And this is how Bresciani deals with students and parents?

    “We are not interested in visiting with the dance team members, their parents or their leadership at this time or in the near future,” he wrote in an Aug. 29 email to Bresciani, Matthew and other staff.

    It's a great read about how it's all BUTFOOTBALL and damn the rest, or maybe just damn the womens activities, like VB and WBB, at some places.

  4. OK, I can dial up the response time back up to about an hour on the email auto-reply generator program that I wrote for Gene. (Licensing from that funds my UND Hockey season tickets ;) ).

    Seems the Gene and he NDSU president aren't always replying to emails, or if they do, polite.

  5. Altru sees the changes they need to make to the changing landscape, and they are changing.

    I predict this is merely the a ripple in the first wave of change hitting health care nationally.

  6. Just checked the last email sent/received from gene. Sent at 10:47 am. Reply at 11:04 am. Does a much better job staying on top of emails than I do....oofda.

  7. "I'm not seeing the efforts" statements by coaches work when the coaches have the respect of the players. And it's not a personal insult.

    Calling guys "divas" is name-calling and personal. That's not something a respectful two-way relationship does.

    This guy is begging to be put out of OUR misery.

    For future reference: "I'm not seeing the efforts from some guys that I expect; thus, there will be changes, either in effort or personnel" is how you communicate such things. For you Dean Blais fans allow me to translate: "Skate or sit."

  8. This is the response I received from the city of Grand Forks dealing with the original parking issue with the Ralph.

    "The City and The Ralph came to an agreement through the Detailed Development Plan process that parking would be evaluated a bit differently on the project. The parking requirement for an auditorium is one space per 4 seats. The seating capacity is around 11,400. Therefore the parking requirement is 2,850 for the site. The parking on the site, through shared parking with the bookstore, family practice and other commercial uses around the building, nearly exceeds this amount. In addition, the city required a traffic plan to be completed by a transportation consultant. The intent was to verify that the location of the parking and the affect on the traffic operation plan for the site. UND also identified alternative mode parking (bus pickup locations) on designated lots that provided additional parking for the facility."

    So when I said they were given an exemption they were and the city did have the power over the university. Notice the part over the bus picking people up. By stopping the bus service it could be construed that the university is now in violation of their agreement.

    I find the bolded to be the most factual and most pertinent portion of this entire conversation. The rest to me comes off as, well, ... whiny.

    Signed,

  9. ... now let's go get some defenders and a rb and a qb or two.

    Bullcrap.

    Bull. Crap.

    Bull-freakin'-crap.

    Linemen.

    Line. Men.

    Big. Mean. Nasty. Ugly. Surly. Enjoy listening to the wind come out of you and seeing the snot fly out of your nose right before the blood comes out of your nose because they hit you that hard linemen.

    On both sides of the ball.

    Line. MEN.

    Give me a class of 20 recruits that enjoy inflicting their will (and vast quantities of gross pain) onto opponents at the line of scrimmage and you can have all the "hops" you want. Let's see who wins.

    Linemen.

  10. I'm glad someone else sees Mollberg having to spur the coaches on in play calling. A redshirt freshman should not have to be motioning for the sideline to get their act together.

    At some point Joe should just huddle them, call the play he sees fit to run, and run it.

    Call it; line up; run it; repeat.

    Lose the gawking at the sidelines. Make a call and be confident in it.
