What kind of backdrop is that? That’s insane. What are they doing?

We’re clearly at the point now with Berry where we were with Bubba. For the program to take the next step (Football) or get back to one of the elite programs again (hockey), it needs new leadership. Ideally, the results the result of the year make this Berry & the entire coaching staffs last year. At the very least, no extension. Schmidt hire will completely turn things around for football. It’s so eye opening what competent leadership looks like when you aren’t used to it. It’ll be that way for hockey too.

That third line is complete garbage. This coaching staff sucks.

Schmaltz back in the top 6! Burn it down, Berry!

Was there a delay on the move into the new facilities? I would assume there would be social media posts once completed. Will be disappointing if they aren’t ready by Saturday (first Junior day). I had thought Jan. 22 was the date set.

This coaching staff is dialed in. Important change having both Flagship camps in June. Back to back. Beautiful.

Isn’t that going to be the case for 100% of the schools that opt-in?

Very fair, we all know the perception of those that do and those that don’t. Seems like most of the top Big Sky are.

Chaves has an opportunity to not only have UND be the leader of the Dakota schools by opting in, but he would also put NDSU in an uncomfortable situation. I really hope UND opts in.

We really aren’t talking that much $, with the right contacts. Hope there’s enough urgency to secure the funds w/in the athletic department. They should be “quietly fundraising” now. What I find so frustrating is coaching is the final piece of the puzzle for Basketball & Hockey. It will be a night and day difference in Football. That will happen with the other sports as well. At the very least, no extensions. Who cares about recruiting when you have those coaching staffs in basketball and hockey. Chaves just has to put lofty goals. Berry, Frozen Four & you’ll get an extension. If not, we’re going a different direction. Sather, make the NCAA tournament or we’re going another direction.

What’s so disappointing is Berry had a real chance to change the direction by sitting Kunz that Saturday night. Win or lose that sends a message. I cannot wait until Berry & this coaching staff is gone.

Loss by loss! In one 6 month stretch, we can see turnover of Bubba, Sather and Berry! Believe!

13 offers (could be missing a few) before the first Junior day of the year, Feb. 1st. How many more before the 2nd Junior day in March? Under Bubba you rarely had offers before the first Junior day, few at Junior day, really the first flood of offers wasn’t until after the Lindenwood camp. Clearly a very different philosophy Schmidt and his staff have. It’s early, but everything seems to be so much more deliberate and it just makes sense under Schmidt. Recruiting - being early, cannot hurt. Having that many offered, before Junior day, could really pay dividends. Going to be fun to follow, especially these early ones. How many offers come after, etc.

Too busy giving the media their talking points on how to justify what’s happening.

EMU offer.

Offer from last July. Montana recently offered.
