  1. Missed it by ... 20' 9".
  2. Uh ... um ... shoot ... you almost let UND there.
  3. You would be well advised to mind your personal attacks, slurs, and poseur habits. Signed, The Management
  4. I strongly recommend a few folks start self-moderating or (to borrow the soccer term) I see some "yellow cards" in some folks' futures. Quit hijacking; quit the personal stuff; or I'll help you. Signed, The Management
  5. The BU coach basically said he was the beneficiary of "home cooking" officiating Friday night during the pre-game interview with Tim Hennessy. I guess there were leftovers.
  6. The guy who beat UND was Kalen DeBoer and he's now Lennon's OC at SIU.
  7. Seventh straight Gator loss. GSU attempted 3 passes and completed ... none.
  8. Our preseason #1 center on the shelf, along with both (yes, both, as in 2) senior forwards so you're playing a fourth line of two defensemen and spotting in a center (based on who's got gas after all the PKs). And then take away St. Clair to boot. The state of play was better tonight. They do better when the defensemen jump in and mobilize (see: Stecher on Tambellini goal). This team will not get better until they clean up the crap penalties. But that is reparable, but they do need to stop digging the hole both at the game and the season levels.
  9. By style I mean methodology. UND is playing a tight system in all zones. What I saw of SCSU and UMD they are focusing on defense and breakouts but are much more free-form on the offensive end. UND's style is more like how NHL teams do it. But I'm not sure that works against the wide-open approach many are using in the college game.
  10. Four seniors: - a transfer goalie - a transfer third-liner from SCSU - a forward who can't stick in the line-up - a captain who is younger that one of the freshmen defensemen beside him Seven juniors: - a late summer add after a surprise non-arrival - MacMillan - a defenseman who has never really taken off - a forward who shows flashes, then gets hurt - a sixth or seventh defenseman - a forward who missed most of last season - a grind-line center Throw in seven sophomores and eight freshmen. College hockey has become an upperclassman's game. I'm not seeing them with this group. Please stand by.
  11. We are playing NHL style in college rinks. That doesn't work. Something has to change.
  12. None of that, just, "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."
  13. Well heck then ... 1. "Bear" Bryant 2. Amos Alonzo Stagg 3. "Pop" Warner
  14. All of you are speaking but all I hear is "Blah, blah blah ... " so I'll reply: Mongol General (aka The Sicatoka): Wrong! Conan! What is best in life? Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. That is and always will be the expectation. We must return to executing upon it.
  15. Allow me to provide the epic and legendary quote from the great and wise sage ... "Anybody can say anything." -- PCM Maybe that should be updated to "Anybody can tweet anything."
  16. Could it be that recruits found this forum and somehow determined that the Mussman regime was on the hot seat? Could it be that the 60 or so you reference are letting the dust settle before making a decision? I know it's crazy, but folks do like some level of certainty when making big decisions. If they'd all have committed elsewhere already, then I'd be concerned.
  17. What they do with livestock in Greeley is illegal everywhere.
  18. The more I think about it, I think I'd like to see someone who is without UND/Grand Forks ties*. No strings to pull on; No buddy-buddy circles to deal with; Just Football. Now if he hates Grizzlies, Bobcats, Eagles, and Lumberjacks, all the better. *See: Brian Jones, Brian Idalski, Ashley Hardee.
  19. DITKA! And everyone in Alerus Center is upgraded to Grill Class!
  20. Per Mr. Faison, the position has to be posted under University System policies and rules. Anyone know how long the application has to be open for and such?
  21. When you say "tracking tail numbers" you have to say "Brett Favre"!!!
  22. Strength Coach Guy Nate is out there running football for UND, ... by him-lonesome-self, ... no help, ... no one else at UND has any experience recruiting or knows anything about football, or is in a position to say good things about UND Football, ... if only there were someone on campus to help Nate in the interim ... <cough> ... Faison himself ... <cough> ... Mannausau ... <cough> ... UND FB SID ... <cough-cough> ... but Nate's alone on an island ... </cynicism>
  23. Let's see ... I run Company X and I just fired my Sales staff, but I'm going to send them out to try to close that last big sale. Uh-huh ... ri-i-i-ight. <facepalm> If there are recruits in the pipeline I'd expect an executive officer like Mr. Faison will be (or have someone) contacting them to update them, within NCAA rules and regulations obviously.
  24. Pro or DI could just as easily be Tibesar or Kleinsasser.
  25. After being relieved the smart move is to always take the high road.
