[Poll: New Head Coach]

Which of the two candidates will get back the respect of the players soonest and than keep it?

[NDSU and UND]

Man I just can't stop coming back.

He's twisting the facts and trying to manufacture something to take a jab at NDSU. He's taking the record of every team NDSU is going to play (even the one's we haven't played yet) and using that as a losing record.

It's not who you play... it's who and how you beat them.

Fact:

NDSU easily beat Central Michigan by a larger margin than Purdue. We all assumed that CMU sucked? Well, they are currently in 1st place in the MAC with a perfect 3-0 conf record. How strong is the MAC? CMU beat Ball State by 20. Ball State almost beat #8 Michigan the week before. The Gophers almost lost both games to MAC teams but managed to squeak one out. CMU did win a bowl game too.

Fact:

NDSU easily beat Western Illinois, a ranked Gateway team who's perfect in the conference and only other loss was to the Big Ten's Illinois, 21-0. Western Illinois, had a 10 year home winning streak of non conference games... until NDSU came to town.

Fact:

NDSU pretty much dominated every other game, except the Sam Houston game.

Then he talks about how the Bison would be a solid NCC team and struggle against South Dakota and Western Washington.

Last time I checked NDSU smoked UC Davis and Western squeaked out a win in week 1, the week strange things happen like Appy beating Michigan. However, the writer didn't point out that McNeese state blew South Dakota out of the water by 30 points. McNeese is in the Southland Conference, home of Sam Houston and Stephen F Austin. NDSU would beat South Dakota by 50 right now. NDSU would beat McNeese right now. Infact, NDSU has never lost to a team from the Southland Confernce. (I think 5-0?)

This guy should be titled, "Sioux Homer" instead of an objective writer. I'm suprised they allowed such unprofessional crap on a legit webite. It shows how ghetto D2 football really is. I've seen better reasoning skills here.

And yes, like I"ve said before, if the Bison/Sioux played right now it would be a good game. NDSU would probably win a close game if it was early in the year but win by more if it's late in the year. But strange things always happen at Bison/Sioux games so who knows.... (last 3 games decided by a few points)

I believe we are 7-0 against the Southland Conference. Roundtrip wins against Nicholls State, Northwestern State and Stephen F. Austin. Single win against Sam Houston State. Gene Taylor has stated the Southland Conference has been very good to work with. Many of the teams were willing to travel to NDSU for $50,000 and air fare. Something that UND may want to keep in mind as you put together your OOC schedule. I would still like to get McNeese State and Texas State to the FFD.

[June 1 Deadline]

Considering that Kupchella is at the platinum level of the NCAA Frequent Mailer Club, you would have thought the NCAA would have sent him an updated manual automatically.

Maybe he should have sent them a "Modest Request" for a manual.

[UND vs. NDSU again?]

What are you talking about, BigGame? The truth finally comes out and you think it makes NDSU look bad! NDSU wanted the game at first, UND, with RT and C-Kup, wanted to make NDSU's transition as miserable as possible, declined to play the game. Now UND wants the game again, please tell how that makes NDSU and the AD look bad.

How long before UND moves to D1AA and proves NDSU right? I would think that the alumni would be having a hissy fit about now. How many times will you play Minot State and University of Mary and the Bison play Minnesota and Iowa before there is a major uproar?
