Ah, that's the question - can Hak change or is he addicted to chip chip dump dump chase chase cycle cycle? Even very sharp hockey minds can have a huge blind spot - seems everyone sees Hak's except him. I hope Brad Berry takes him aside and lets him know that there is anothe way to look at offense or it will be a long season.

If by demands you mean wanting a football team that doesn't give up 47 points in the first half to a conference rival, then I guess you are correct.

Based on Geaux_Sioux's assessment of the last two recruiting classes, I expect next year's team to be stocked with young studs and much more competative. Maybe a year or two away, but much better than this year.

You certainly have been hyping the last two recruiting classes - not saying you're wrong, but I then expect a foundation of young studs for the next coach to build on.

Winning championships is what made the Sioux program special under Gino and Blais - contrast that to someone who had a fantastic winning percentage and multiple tourney appearances - one Doug Woog.

Yes - nobody remembers second place - It's the difference between Blais and Woog.

Millers used to be my hangover place - greasy and delicious

Pointing out how our team has improved by quoting defensive statistics this year is like putting lipstick on a corpse.

How long has it been since we had a goalie that didn't give up a weak goal a game?

These are two really hapless teams.

That's what they do - actually, that's about all they do

I just don't see enough firepower with this group this year - I feel the defense will mold into a great group but I don't see a lot of scorers. I am also somewhat disappointed that we are in the second year of this goalie tandem and neither one has stepped foreward to be the guy (even though Gothberg seems to have the edge).

What power play? Saw them skate around for 2 minutes a couple of times but that's about it.

Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us?

Not to mention the traveling - one dribble from the center line? Pathetic - geared to the MTV generation - suspend the rules so we can get some giant slams for sports center. Players just want to get on the highlight reel.

I agree that Hockey is bigger, but I don't see it detracting from football at all. No hockey recruits are taken from the football team. One thing is certain - without hockey to go to the football program would get a lot more pressure to perform and win. Think things are bad now on the board, take away hockey and make football all we have this season and see how our 2 win season would play.

This is a good description of how you feel - don't agree, but I understand. However, your only solution to the mess we are in is "It's Faison's job to come up with the answers". Are you happy with the state of the once proud Sioux football team? How long should we continue to dig this hole? Many of us are worried about a 10 year black hole for the football team. We are very frustrated with the progress so far. I'd love to hear your ideas for improvement.

Muss is basically telling him - you're not getting in no matter how crappy Molberg plays. How would you like that as a freshman? What chance does he ever have of winning the starting job?

How would you feel standing on the sidelines watching the last couple of games? What has to happen to get him in - how could our play be worse?Wouldn't blame him a bit if he told Muss to suck eggs and went elsewhere-

Will the last person here turn out the lights?

If I were Bartells I would tell Muss to cram it and transfer - then hope I came back to beat his ass -if he were still around

I'd love to hear your answer too - and I think that many others would also

Wow - 82 Sioux guy sure is a company man - When I got my tickets and an additional donation to the Captains Club, I assumed that along with my ticket I got reasonable parking or the ability to get to the arena without a big hassle. Guess not. I feel that is an implied obligation on behalf of whoever is selling me the ticket. It an operation this big has to subsidize this a little, well so be it. I can't believe that those who do have parking are so callous to those who don't and don't want to walk 5-6 blocks in the winter with kids.

Please get some linemen on both sides of the ball - don't know if I can watch us get rolled much more.

Couldn't agree more - another example of catering to corporate and screwing the little guy - fans who can't afford a parking pass are not high priority for UND or the Ralph. They would just as soon replace you with people who want to socialize but have big bucks. Very disappointed. I understand this doesn't affect every fan on this board, but the ones that used it relied on it. Can't take a bar shuttle with a kid or walk many blocks in freezing temps. I wish the fans on this board would be more supportive of the average Sioux fan many of whom are die-hard Sioux fans but don't have deep pockets. The Ralph is making much more than this cost this season with the addition of 4 new seats where the goal judges used to sit. Selling them at $5000 per.
