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.
Lets see 600 vs 3000 plus - full rides vs walk ons -- season ticket sales for fb already 500 more than last year and will reach over 8000 by fall -- Yea we're doing okay. Trust you - That's funny!! -
Did I miss it or didn't the herald cover Mertens signing? The reason the Forum gave May's the coverage is he's from Fargo. If Mertens would have went to NDSU it would have been covered more by the Forum because it's NDSU. I can't help it that the sports media in gf sucks and coverage of UND is poor. Did you catch the KX4 special on our spring game?
I agree with you about the insignificance of playing - but you need to tell all the coaches and your new AD that. It get's sicking hearing all the time how they want to start playing again. It must mean something to them.
We get the same gate whether we play UND or not. You didn't mind watching us go through a scheduling nightmare during our transition so now you go through your 4 years of hell first then we'll talk.
Why are you in Fargo if you don't like it? If you moved back to gf you'd be able to deal with REAL arrogance!! Remember UND will have a easier transition to DI than NDSU - DaveK guaranteed it. How's that working out for you?
What's up with all the secrecy in Sioux land? Little or no reporting on the fb team (progress, injuries). If WDAZ accounced a job was offered great but to who? The sports media in gf is so cowered by UND that's it not funny.
I don't think that the last 3 AD's had that much control over hockey anyway. Hockey at UND is it's own entity, but now that every sport will be DI that might change.
Looks like the powers to be at UND have given the BoHE the task of getting the nickname problem off the table so Kelly won't have to deal with it when he takes over.
