It would not break my heart at all if we got away from the 3-4. It was implemented to stop the veer. It basically eradicated the veer. So what is the point of continuing to run it? It hasn't worked very well in recent years against the more balanced and spread offenses that dominate the college game today. Theoretically, it should work against Cal Poly, but it really hasn't.......... I think it has gone the way of the dinosaur as far as the college game goes. The Chicago Bears 46 defense was great against 2 receiver sets. Don't see many 2 receiver sets anymore. That's why Buddy Ryan's boys are the only NFL coaches that use anything that even resembles the old 46. Saw last night on SNF that in 10 years as a defensive coordinator, this is the first season that Rob Ryan has had a winning record......

I ask because more than a handful of posters here have been pining for DeBoer ever since his first visit to the Alerus a few years back. When Mussman was fired, his name was mentioned right quick along with Tibesar and Bollinger. I would actually be a bit surprised if both he and Bubba do not apply before this is all over with. I think 2014 is a make or break year for Lennon and his staff and they must be aware of it. If they miss the playoffs again next season, the Sioux-Luki era in Carbondale will likely come to a screeching halt..........

Here is a question: If Kalen DeBoer applies in the next 48 hours, does he jump ahead of Pflugrad in the Siouxsports.com power rankings?

I think if we could sign up Pflugrad and he could fill out his staff with one or two key UND/Minnesota/Wisconsin guys, that would be the ideal situation. Pflugrad may not know recruiting our traditional areas but there are plenty of coaches who do. What Pflugrad does know is the Big Sky Conference and what it takes to be successful in it.

Wayne Nelson just tweeted 4 more apps are in. Nobody local.....

He's currently in "time-out".

I think Paul Ralston could think of a descriptive word to describe this.......

Weber's offense was last in Big Sky last year. But it is Weber.......

I split off all the Bohl related posts and moved them here.

Brock Jensen tweet: 'Please say this is a joke'. He would tell the players right? Hallstrom and Izzo saying if true he won't coach through the playoffs.....

Considering what Bohl has built and accomplished in Fargo, this seems like a lateral move at best. Perhaps he feels he has a better shot at landing BCS job if he spends some time at an FBS school? I'm sure he receiving a hefty pay increase, but seriously, Wyoming?

That is shocking. Seriously, Wyoming?

The starting time thing is hilarious. We have a whopping two games that start at 9:00 this year. A whole half hour later than almost every men's game started when we were all in the NCC.

I'm not in the airline industry, so can someone explain that to me? They are going to serve Devils Lake with the same size airplane as they did Grand Forks. If they were losing money in GF, why didn't they try cutting back to one flight per day or only coming every other day of the week or something like that? I flew on United out of GFK about 3 weeks ago. Leaving GF every seat on the 50 passenger plane was full. On the return flight there were 14 people. Is there any chance of another west bound connection coming to GFK now, like Frontier maybe? Or is it just a dead duck?

See, it didn't take long........... Bison Media Blog: Blah, blah, blah, blah

Check BV. They are more than "open" to the idea of North Dakota in the Summit........

Yes. He is going to DII school closer to home. Actually, not much closer to home than North Dakota is.............

I respectfully disagree regarding how hard it will be to turn this program around. Good coaching goes a long ways. There is a big difference between restoring a winning culture versus building a winning culture..........

Summit League is now averaging a membership change every 1.4 years. Stabity baby...........stability.

Awe crap....... Now we are going to have to continue with putting up with more BS about the vaunted I29 Corridor league and FU fans begging North Dakota to join it because it "makes so much sense".

My biggest problem is the way that some are throwing Faison under the bus for the first DUI. I run a business myself. I am a farmer and I have several employees. If one of them is otherwise a valuable asset to my business, but goes out on their own time and gets a DUI, I am not going to fire them for it. If they get a DUI while driving one of my trucks or otherwise while on the job for me they would get the axe right quick. Basically that is what has taken place at UND this week. I just don't agree that Hardee should have been made an example of for his DUI two summers ago, as long as it didn't involve a University vehicle, employee, or athlete. From the few in person dealings with Faison that I have had, my guess is this week would have unfolded the exact same way even if Hardee had no prior issues whatsoever.

I can only speak to how I myself have reacted to the transparency of either university. I didn't know about the FU wrestling coach's DUI until today. Seems to me like his punishment was a bit harsh. The offense itself was exposed by the media not the university. Travis Beck's downtown fight: I said when it happened that it sounded like the other guy threw the first punch so IMO Beck was justified and had every right to beat the hell out of anybody who is attacking him. That story was exposed by the media not the university. Petition-Gate: It was laughable the way that Taylor handled that. A complete joke. Exposed by the media not the university. Bohl's speeding tickets: I don't give a hoot about how fast Bohl drives. I drive fast. Exposed by the media not the university. FU tight-end/weed dealer: Loser. IIRC FU took care of him swiftly like they should have. Exposed by the media not the university. Best Buy-gate: A bunch of criminals. IIRC FU dealt with them swiftly like they should have. Exposed by the media not the university. Danny Kristos frozen feet: Who did he hurt other than himself? I called him dumbass at the time. Exposed by the media not the university. UND linebacker breaks into woman's home: Expelled immediately. Exposed by media not university. UND FB players using steroids: This involved 3 seniors after the season was over. I honestly don't recall if they were expeled, but they should have been and I hope they were. Exposed by media not the university. Hakstol's middle digit: Embarrassing. He was suspended immediately. 2012 Hockey Hazing: Lots of players suspended for multiple games. Exposed by the media not the university. Matt Frattin DUI: Kicked off campus for 6+ months. Exposed by the university not the media. Ashley Hardee Hit & Run: His employment at UND was over within 36 hours of the situation going public. Exposed by the university not the media. I think at best you need to take issue with the Forum and the Herald rather than UND's spokespeople or fans. Fargo is a much bigger city with many more news outlets. That is likely why NDSU comes under more scrutiny when bad stuff happens, and by the same token when good stuff happens.

Thanks. I didn't know the answer so that is why I asked. CAS is inferring that Faison was way out of line for not calling a press conference or putting out a release when Hardee got his DUI. Looks like Gene Taylor also did neither in the case of the FU wrestling coach, rather he commented on the situation after the media approached him. Take the Herald to task for not uncovering or reporting the DUI, not UND. It is not their job. UND did put out the initial word when Hardee was put on leave on Monday morning and two days later was no longer employed.

Did NDSU call a press conference to announce that coach's DUI and suspension as CAS is implying UND should have done in Hardee's case? I don't think it is the AD's responsibility make something like that public, if it didn't involve University property, personnel, or student athletes. Hardee's DUI happened in June, the off-season, likely on his own time. It would be a totally different story if it happened while at a University sanctioned event, during the season, and involved UND players. That is what happened this weekend, and Hardee is now gone. I suspect the outcome would be the same even if Hardee didn't have the prior DUI.
