  1. 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.

    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 ;) ).

  2. "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."

  3. 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,

    A guy who used to use the ramp and shuttles but then did the math a couple years ago and decided to make the donation, get the pass, and take the tax deduction.

  4. ... 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Because its hard to write about UND athletics when you aren't allowed on campus.

    Strangely enough, we'll see Tom Miller on UND Insider Weekly this week on Midco, from the Betty, on campus.

    Put another way, you're wrong, again.

  7. I said Muss should've been gone after the loss before the bye week (can't keep which blowout loss that was straight any more).

    Glad to see some more of you have figured it out.

    PS - He should have been gone after losing to Kalen DeBoer's team.

  8. Mr. Miller apparently is ready for an unpaid 2-week vacation. Although 2 weeks pay may be a small price to pay for not having to watch that team play again this year.

    Mr. Miller works for the Herald. Why would the Herald do that? They want to sell papers. This'll sell more than Mussman has for them all season.
