I hope all sioux fans think like you do. Do you mean in all sports? Besides fb and wbb - I think the rest of your sports are in big trouble. Most weren't competitive in DII let alone DI.

Comparing these type of records don't tell you anything.

I agree - I hope one of the first phone calls Mr. Faison made was to Gene. I haven't heard of any communication but it would have been a smart thing to do.

Here's a sioux fan talking about something he's knows nothing about. (as usual) If you weren't so sad it'd be funny. With the schedule UND has and he's smacking ours? NDSU's schedule would rank as a top ten as for strenght of schedule this year. I think you'll find out it's not easy to schedule FBS games and get top FCS teams for home games. Gene has done a great job of getting us through the transition. We'll see how many Big Ten teams you beat in MBB and FB in the next 4 years. Were you just a little jealous watching the Bison turn the Metro Dome in a home field advantage in our win over MN? You have a ton of things to worry about within your own transition to DI (so far NOT so good) so don't try to spin ours so yours won't look so bad.

No it wasn't good but not as bad as yours and usd. I also remember alot of Sioux fans blasting NDSU for it too.

How? You have to play someone first and win.

I agree but now UND isn't driving the car but is riding in the back seat. They have little or no control of where their going. Conferences don't realign very offen, and you may have missed the boat for awhile.

I think his point is Miss Brekke is having his baby and her father is assistant AD at UND.

Wasn't Paulson on the presidential committee? Didn't he vote for & support Kelly? So who else on the board don't you trust and who else is the source of all und's problems? You guys remind me of all the people that blame the president (W) for all their problems and never look at themselves.

This is the most sense you've ever made. I might add that we could start building nuclear plants now and replace all the oil ones in the NE.

That's right - it's all or nothing.

Koening - a good example of what I'm talking about.

No way- I just get a kick out of everyone here. Look at how many good DI players that ND has produced and look at how many ND kids you have on the roster for 2008. I'm all for giving ND kids a chance but when you have trouble wining any DI games next year and the next you'll see my point.

I know it's hard for you to believe but both Mays and Allard would be good DII talent. They are not what you want as a core to build a DI program. They would be good walk on projects for DI schools because you never know they may work out real well. I think Coach Jones is finding out how hard it is to recruit to this area. I glad your happy with the recruits.

You can have them all.

Like the gophers?

Played 2007 NC - Florida and then Rutgers on the same weekend. When your in a conference you don't have as many non conference games - oh that's right you wouldn't know that.

You mean like what NDSU did to your FB team or the Sioux to your Hockey program??

What's the matter dlsiouxfan can't stand the facts so you make some of your own up?

I think yours was on the 19th - a week earlier.

Hey if you want to believe that he had offers (scholarships) from those schools fine. You need to able to tell the difference between "interest" and an offer.

I just hope that his off ice troubles were a coincidence and not signs of him having an problem. He's got a great future ahead of him and it'd be a shame to screw it up. But then what do us "slow people" know.

The word on the street is both Mays and Mertens would not have been offered a scholarship even if they were available. Both would have had to earn one. Comparing Mertens to Winkelman is like comparing Ford to a Lincoln. Mertens has never played against any DI competition and Wnkelman has played against some of the best in the nation and excelled. I'm happy your happy with the bb team but I think you'll find out what's it's all about when you start playing DI competition.
