So now AP is thinking about retiring instead of going to MN.....this thing won't go away!!!!
Call his bluff and let him retire with his legacy as a child beater. No way he is walking away.

100% agree. The Walmart employee that was killed is my uncle.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family along with all others affected by this tragedy. Don't understand what goes through these peoples heads and their need to hurt others.

I'm not impressed with the Twins. They have beaten only 3 teams over .500 and are on a easy stretch of garbage teams (White Sox, Red Sox, Blue Jay's, Red Sox, and Brewers).
Last year they likely get swept in 3 of those 5 series and win one game in each of the other two. If you predicted they would be where they are at right now, you are a smarter man than everyone out there.

They all coaches a team that appeared in a nation title game?

Yeah, the big sky is incredible eh?
Its not incredible but if you one were to go back and compare WBB this past season for example, NDSU likely finishes in the bottom third of the Big Sky instead of middle of the pack in the Summit. UND football would have been likely been in the same situation this past season when comparing the BSC to the MVC. Hard to compare seperate conferences but the closest one could get is looking at the RPI ratings that NDSU fans love to look at and even those can be skewed with the ability to schedule more non conference games.
Either way- UND has a lot of work to do but I feel pretty confident they are/can right a few of these programs and become competitive consistently in the conference.

I hope you were serious cause I whipped something up. Most of it should be pretty self-explanatory. NDSU and UND have 15 sports in common. I've also only listed the fully DI years. You can choose to compare the first three years of each, the last three years, or all of them together.
Example:
5/10 - fifth place out of ten teams
1T/8 - tied for first place out of eight teams
Colors:
dark green - first place finish(includes ties)
light green - finished in top third of conference
white - middle third
light red/orange - bottom third
dark red/orange - last place conference finish(includes ties for last place)
Symbols:
* - team competed in NCAA nationals
** - team competed in NCAA and won at least a game
$ - won a national championship
% - participated in a non-NCAA national postseason event
# - individual member of the team participated in NCAA nationals
AAxx - All American status; the first number indicates # of 1st team selections, second # 2nd team, HM ignored, didn't do FB
Sorry if I missed some honors from your guys.
Hope the image works out:
Good chart Hammer. Color coding makes it good to the eye but is misleading if you don't attempt to dig into results. Still tells a decent story.
End of the day UND really struggled in a few of the non revenue sports. I see improvements down the road in track and field but the Big Sky is a stronger conference in track and field and in order to get any boxes shaded green would need significant improvement. Baseball, softball and soccer should also benefit from the IPF but only time will tell how much.
I still think Faison needs to look at some of the sports and determine if they are neccessary and improvement needs to continue/begin. MBB performance last season is still inexcusable.

Would you like to compare the success of each schools women's teams? Not even remotely close.
This year? Last couple years? It would be interesting to compare in the sports that both offer. Conference standings, conference rankings, etc.
-
Hopefully we are able to turn the tide this week. Bakersfield swept us in a three game series in early April at Kraft field and they weren't really that close.
-
Boys are playing well so far. Fun to watch.

Did I miss something with Neverman? I knew he couldn't play this year, but is he no longer with the team; or am I misunderstanding you?
No longer on the team. Doesn't want to sit a year.

Blais recommended Hak when he left - I wonder who Hak has recommended?
I was just typing this same thing. Hak had to give a recommendation, Berry would be an easy transition for the program.
-
Lol thanks for going out on a limb for that one...
Setting it up for the "told you so".

I bet Faison doesn't take 45+ days to hire this replacement.

They have had a number of them. Next time we will have to type slower for the FU guests.

I can't think of one of ndsu' receivers who would cut it at running back in the mvfc.
What's your point? Has FU recently had a high school running back who really excelled at WR in college and got a few carries in different formations?
-
Has having women's hockey though?
I wouldn't put it on women's hockey. There are other sports that could be cut. Some of them men's sports.
FU has proven that there are different ways to meet title 9 requirements. How they do it works. Someone really needs to explain to me the benefit of UND sponsoring all the sports they do to meet these requirements.

Having hockey will likely cause UND to drop a few of its sports as it tries to be competitive in DI. So why would you suggest NDSU add sports, so NDSU can have more underfunded sports too?
Hockey does not cause any sports at UND to be underfunded.

Smith also holds the 2nd fastest time in the state of Michigan in the 200m.

Brian Kelly, head coach at Notre Dame, is limiting where Everett Gohlston can transfer to:
"Former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson won’t be lining up under center for the Fighting Irish in 2015, and according to Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman, he won’t be lining up on the other side of the field from them either. Feldman is reporting Sunday night that Notre Dame is not granting a release for Golson to play at any of the schools on the team’s 2015 schedule, along with “several” Big Ten teams."
It appears that what Bohl has done is standard operating procedure for coaches.
There aren't many FBS programs that would limit their players playing time at an FCS school.
The second part of this, taking the schools on Notre Dames schedule off the list and the SEC due to transfer rules, any chance Golston ends up at Oregon?
-
To an extent, you are right. What I was trying to get across was that everyone thinks FBS transfers are going to come in here and turn us into an FCS superpower in one year. It doesn't work that way.
I read most comments as posters saying we need some immediate contributors to be competitive in the tougher games on our schedule next season.
I also think getting full buy in by the players on the importance of staying together for summer will make a difference. It has been a number of years since that happened.

Ask him how sales were
How many restraunts have been in that location?
-
And people loved working for him when he owned all the McDonalds in Bismarck/Mandan.
He is a good man. My point was the imaginary GOBC didn't keep every single person in GF from opening a Space Aliens. Its a franchise, anyone who wants to pay the fee could have and still can open one despite GFhockeys story.
-
Space aliens tried get in to grand forks
We all saw what happend there
Nobody wanted to pay Mort Bank the million plus he required for the franchise fee? Guy was smart, took a lot of his experience gained from owning his McDonald's stores and translated it to the sit down restraunt. At the end of the day is the name Space Aliens worth $1,000,000+ on the outside of a building?
Don't pretend your GOBC had the pull to keep him out. Space Aliens is a franchise.
Adrian Peterson wants trade to Cowboys

Someone needs to explain to Adrian that his contract is two sided, he's getting paid what he agreed on when he signed the contract. His agent is making him look like a fool.
