You may wish to rethink that one. A sponsor “gives UND $1 million” and you want to tell them to “f off”? That may be your dumbest post yet (and there have been many). Where will you get another million to fill that monetary void of $1 million? How about you thank them for their generosity and work to get them to increase it? Very few schools can afford to disengage with a million dollar donor because of what they do or don’t do with the rest of their donations. UND is not in a position to turn down big donations because a few fans are obsessed with what happens to NDSU. If that is your attitude, then you need to sit this one out. You will only be in the way.

I believe he also factors completing his degree into the equation.

Started off thanking UND alumnus and former Sioux football player Mark Chipman for bringing the Jets back to Winnipeg and giving him the opportunity to come back to Winnipeg and playing in front of family and his home town fans.

Because his mother was in Fargo, was due to have a baby, and went into labor.

It’s a big deal to qualify for nationals. Jadyn Keeler has also qualified in the 10,000m and has a decent chance to also qualify in the 5000m later this evening.

Care to explain to how you are familiar with this and none of the rest of us are? (You may want to keep your secrets secret).

I believe that person may be done. I don’t believe they wish to answer the questions I posed. This link can hopefully get back on subject.

Are you also saying “to be fair”, Eric had Bubba’s players? Some claimed Berry had Hakstol’s players. Both Jackson and Schmidt benefited from players that were already here. Both new head coaches revamped their staffs, were able to keep key players and add some excellent recruits. Both of these guys had very good first years. Their predecessors left them with a number of very good players. I believe our VB program and new staff faces a bigger challenge to get this program turned around.

First of all, I wish good luck to Ava Miller and for that matter, to the other girls graduating, transferring or otherwise moving on. Regardless of the struggles this past year, they earned scholarships to play Div 1 WBB and hopefully will graduate or have graduated with a degree that prepares them for future success in their chosen professions. I have a couple questions for you before you start yucking it up. Would you happen to know what the Packers and Livestock Act is? Can you tell me what it means when the USDA reaches a “consent decision” for failing to pay for livestock or paying with NSF checks?

Teagan Livesay no-hits the Bison for another win today 2-0.

Nice 2-0 win over NDSU yesterday at Albrecht. Go Hawks!

Crap, I thought you would have been smart enough to move on. If you know so much about the program, can you tell us which perverted parent of a former player is sending emails/text messages to high school girls bad mouthing the program? I’m not saying that’s you, but your bizarre posts would make you a prime suspect. I find it despicable that an adult would want to do anything to cause unhappiness or stress in the life of a young woman excited for prom, graduation, and a future college career.

Nice story.

A number of us football players ran track for Zaz. Mike Deutsch and George Lange ran hurdles. Mark Blake and Ron Gustafson ran sprints and relays, I ran middle distance and relays. I think Jerry Skogmo and Doug Schindler did shot putt. Spring FB interfered with track practice so I only ran Fr and Soph yrs. Lots of Zaz stories. Zaz remains a legend. Pinky Kraft suffered severe burns when his unit was hit by artillery in WW2. He wasn’t expected to survive his burns so his cot was left in hallway of the hospital they took him to. After a few days they noticed he refused to die. He told some great story’s about his recovery. His baseball team had a number of FB players who were also good BB players. Bruce Daucsavage, Scott Hewitt, Jamie Grownowski ( our punter/kicker who came to UND on a baseball scholarship). Pinky’s son Brian and I refereed some early WBB games including a UND-NDSU game when Shirlan Mosley was coaching against Amy Ruley. Great memories of UND legends and the beginnings of WBB under Dee Watson. We would need a few pitchers of beer to reminisce not just about athletics but life on campus during the early Clifford years.

Gayner is an attorney and I believe is moving to a job in the legal profession. She was well liked by recruits.

Great addition to the program. He has multiple recruiting contacts in addition to extensive coaching experience. I believe this will turn out be a key piece in turning the program around.

I think they would have better luck waiting at Judy’s.

I have found that when there is a promising athlete in any sport (friend, relative, neighbor, someone in your community, it’s worth sending that coach an email and let them know that in the event they weren’t aware, there is a prospective athlete whom you think would be worth getting to their camps so they might evaluate. Previous VB coaches, BB coaches, FB coaches all responded within 24h with a note of thanks. Send the new coach a note and mention that a couple kids had hoped to see UND staff and are interested and UND was a school they were hoping to hear from. Every once in awhile they might get a kid who they hadn’t been aware of.

Would it help to start our own “church” so we can assign select young converts to a one or two year mission preaching to USHL hockey players? Maybe during that year or 2 of mission work they could be more effective missionaries if they played USHL hockey during their mission assignment. What a coincidence if they matured enough to be NCAA ready.

Hutter has a contract and he has the support of this administration. I made a point of having a discussion at the Frozen 4 with the gentleman who would know. Hutter has a good group of recruits coming in. He will be given time and the resources to improve this program Your daughter could have been a key piece in turning things around, but only if you stayed away from her, her teammates, the coaches, other parents, fans, the Red Pepper, and slithered back under your rock. After a little research, it seems that one of the parents at your daughter’s high school created so much turmoil for players, other parents, and school officials, that the school’s administrator (Superintendent?) resigned. I wonder who that sick, perfidious, sorry excuse of a parent could have been???

I didn’t say it wasn’t, but your post didn’t say that. When people post something that is unclear, some others will read that and claim that the night before the semifinals the “hockey team” was out partying all night regardless of what the facts are.

You repeated a rumor someone posted regarding a handful of players (“the scratches”) who allegedly learned they weren’t going to play. You posted: “the players partying was confirmed“ which is different, and not accurate. Another guy (who makes lots of assumptions) posts: “2016 business trip” “2026 let’s party”. For those who follow opposing team’s fan forums, it will be interesting to see if those posts generate some excitement for opposing fans to gossip about. That should be pretty special.

The point of hiring him was to get this program turned around and win the conference and get into the playoffs. Recruit the best players, regardless of where they are from, but hopefully get the best kids from the region that are capable of accomplishing those goals.

I’m not a blind squirrel but I believe I have found the nut. Come on man, you are better than this. If nothing else do it for your daughter.

Although I would be surprised if she was interested, I would reach out to her to gauge interest.
