Travis, do you have any information you can share with us about Brandon when you get a chance?
-
Also, if anything this just puts this back in the news and gives everyone a chance to talk about how it was handled....... again.

Apparently there's a process going on that people on the outside don't know about.
I don't know of one fan of the Bison that wants to support a dirty program. We are not a win-at-any-cost group. We're proud of the type of program that Coach Bohl has been running. He has a 10 year record of consistent, fair, and firm dealings with players. The conference season is still almost 3 weeks away. Apparently there's a process that no one on the outside is privy to. I can't predict what will happen, but it's clear that NDSU has not completed the process.
Where is the part about the lawyer that represents the football team? I know all students have access to him but I'm sure he was a little more readily available in this case. This was an "oh !@#$, we have egg on our face e-mail". Damage already done.

This is not further defense of what these guys did so do not take it that way, but why is the obvious being overlooked on this? These measures would not have made it onto the ballot anyway. If they needed fraudulent names to get over the number then they didn't have the numbers they needed to get on the ballot. Nobody's right to vote is being infringed on so there is no need to sensationalize this by evoking war heroes and their memories, that lacks taste to bring up in this situation IMO.
The Terra group is in business to make money. No different than your business is.
Lets look at it this way. If someone gives me $XXX to build a house in Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, Grand Forks and Dickinson, as a business owner I am going to send the minimum amount of people I need to each location to get the job done in the allotted time. During the time I'm given, I am going to monitor the progress at each location and I'm only going to send more people if I seem to be falling behind at any of the locations. Every extra person I send out costs me more money so if the people I have working for me "appear" to be keeping pace, why as a business owner would I send extra help and add extra cost? Truth is, the actions of those responsible will never give us a chance to know if it would have made the ballot and as far as being on future ballots, that is not going to come free of charge to those involved.

I think the criticism that is valid is how conservative we are vs FBS teams. Maybe this year with a capable QB it will be a different story. Remember Northern Illinois finished top 25 and won a bowl and we had the ball at the end with a chance to win because Jake Landry could throw. Last year Joey(shoulda played D2) Bradley couldn't throw and the game plan was SUPER conservative. This year I bet they ride Hendricksons confidence and go for SDSU's throat. The difference between Bohl and Mussman in recent years is that Bohl had some talent to win with Mussman has finally gotten through the talentless wasteland that was left to him by Lennon. I say judge Mussman against FBS teams with this game and not the previous ones where he had teams with huge holes.
You worded things a little different than I would have but I agree with you. Let's be honest, in years past we haven't had the complete talent to beat FBS teams. That is not meant as a knock on the players at that time but the results of games during that time speaks for itself. Hopefully this year is different. The offense I saw last week was exciting and has some serious skill guys. An offense that can truely carry our defense. The defense absolutely has to play better, no doubt. The big thing will be mistakes. We cannot afford to muff punts, throw ints., miss tackles, jump offisides, etc. We are not good enough to do that and I'm excited to see if the guys can rise to the challenge.

It's time for me to leave this hallowed blog. All of the responses are Sioux-like. Decades upon decades of the same chatter, whether it be online or word of mouth. I had to come here to test the waters to see if it was still around. Ya'll can't see how tainted your motivations are. I've seen enough. Bye
Thanks for answering the question. Bye.

Glad to see all the love for Bison football. Through the years we've always counted on Sioux fans to be the judge and jury for the Bison. When there's trouble with UND's flagship program, meaning hockey, we're all over it at bisonville. Not. Came over to see the rumored chatter. Don't tell me that your hockey team is full of good boys. Don't tell me that there's never in-house decisions on how relevant a discipline problem is. But I know that you will, because that's the dynamic of this loving relationship. Sioux hockey is clean. Bison football is not. That's the mindset of a Sioux fan. It's been that way for decades. zzzzzzzzz
You know, when we moved up to DI we received so much love from Sioux fans. It was underwhelming. Even though you had an invitation from us to join us in the move, you tried to paint it as something else. And because of that great degree of love, ya'll have absolutely no credibility on the topic of our problems, which will remain our problems, which will be dealt with by the people that we hire to deal with our problems. Ya'll know nothing about what's going on besides what the media is pushing. You don't care about the Bison players or the program. Never did. Never will. So your opinions are irrelevant.
But keep pretending that your opinions matter, because that's your history too. You've always wanted to have your flagship program, and you've always resented ours, and you've manifested your resentment so beautifully, with cancellations of all athletics, and efforts to be involved in who works at North Dakota State.
I've supported UND in its efforts to keep the Sioux name. I've supported UND hockey through the years. I've been an advocate of having only one DI hockey program in North Dakota. But I don't pretend to know what goes on within the hockey program. I assume that the paid professionals know how to handle the program and its players. I assume that the leadership at UND is the only entity capable of doing so. They get the benefit of my doubt, and I certainly don't trust the media when it tries to get involved in said program.
Ok....So how many strikes does a starting RB get at NDSU?
-
Fair enough, probably a good approach. I think the kicker for the coach and ad is that they are being advised that the case will likely be plead at a lesser level than the current charge . . . thus the stance of letting this thing play out. Even if there is a lesser Plea below a Class A Mis, at least a one game suspension is likely, so why not do it up front.
Your coach ruled that one out today? No suspensions will come. Question for you and other Bison fans- How many strikes does a starting running back get at NDSU?

Mike McFeeley is all over the Travis Beck situation on his twitter account. Looks like he is not giving up any time soon.
This is the kind of stuf Gene Taylor brought upon his athletic department with his comments on Saturday. I know it was bad before but after the comments KFGO and the Forum are going to be huddled around the police scanners waiting for the next NDSU athlete to get arrested. And now it doesn't matter if its a member of the dance team, everyone is going to be compared to these guys and it starts with Travis Beck. No one would have known any different about Beck's summer arrest, but now the questions begin- Why did he already play two games and why will he be allowed to be on strike 4 if drinking and running from the law(resisting arrest) are taken so seriously? This isn't going away anytime soon and although the players may not deserve it, it couldn't happen to a better guy than Gene Taylor.

The biggest thing we need to come around right now is our depth with the 2nd unit defense. When Daryl Brown came out our 2nd unit dbacks gave up some big plays and when we tried to rotate in our 2nd and some 3rd unit d-line and LB's we got beat on the option read play they ran time and time again. These guys need to get their feet under them and make some plays. Hopefully the experience helps with that. We are going to see some pretty good rb's and some outstanding wr's in the next few months and our first unit will not be able to be on the field all game.
Right now I am more concerned about our lack of pressure on the qb than anything else. I am confident our tackling will improve and we have guys that can run but we're asking a lot of our db's and our offense if we can't find a way to get some pressure.
-
This one is pretty tough for Bohl and Taylor:
- it's a second alcohol offense for the kid (class B misdemeanor)
- he also resisted a law officer (is this a class A misdemeanor or a B misdemeanor?)
- he hasn't been suspended
- he's still on the team
So which is it?
Hard-core stance on misdemeanors meaning you're gone ala Jemison, or
We're tough on fighting and booze (but not fraud) misdemeanors, or
The "their day in court" misdemeanors.
A second MIP, with a bonus, a resisting charge, hasn't kept this one off the field yet.
I'm sure he had to do some extra conditioning as well. Maybe a couple extra sprints or something to really teach him a lesson.
-
Mods, can we clean up some of these posts? We are here trying to have a discussion on a topic that has affected the entire state of North Dakota and these guys are obviously trying to change the subject or get the thread closed down.
-
I think I'm in your head
Take it to PMs or start a new thread of your obsession of Dave. This thread is to discuss 13 of the 15 charged in the petition fraud with ties to NDSU's football team.

Don't change the facts to fit your argument. Coach Bohl knew about this weeks before the CSU game per the articles everyone is quoting. If he wanted to react quickly to this he could have very easily suspended them all for the RMU game, a game that we could have won without any one of our starters. So to say that the timing is suspect and he delayed the process to make sure two starters could play in the CSU game is disingenuous.
You said earlier he suspended Jemison cause he knew about it and had a conversation with BJ and that is why he got suspended so quickly. If he knew about this for weeks before, and the players obviously admitted their guilt. Why no suspension?

So, what would you do under the same circumstance with 8 und football players? It sounds like you have all the answers. So tell me, seriously tell me?
If this get pleaded down to a minimal charge, they will likely get a game or two suspension, but that will likely occur after their case is heard. Would you run your und players out of town or kick them out of school? Tell me what you would do to 8 und football players in the same circumstance? Sure, the media and boards like this are going to make a lot out of this, but all the coach and ad really have to deal with the facts, not the whining media and fans on other boards. But, please carry on and try to make heads roll, I wouldn't expect anything less.
I can tell you what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't make the comments that Gene made last night trying to make the kids seem like the victims and I wouldn't have told the media that you believe the court process should play out, even though you didn't let the process play out a couple weeks prior with another player on the team who has yet to go to court. I know you have the Green and Gold glasses on but take them off for one second and take a look at how this looks from the outside. Its winning above all else.

Unless the North Dakota court record system is wrong, there are charges pending so it isn't made up.
Pretty impressive you have to bend the truth on something that happened five or six years ago to try and defend your team.
Thats what I was thinking. It was 6 years ago. Do you really want to compare the last 6 years of Bison football off the field incidents? Some Bison fans trying to justify that this is all ok is worth the read. Your AD and coach have put winning in front of everything else. Admit it and move on.

If it's Mannausa it must be another Wisconsin kid?? Hopefully we hear a name.

Look guys, the attendance isn't going to change overnight. The fans who have gone to the games can see we have a damn good football team that has improved tremendously since last year. But we lost a lot of casual fans during an average transition which was below average at the beginning. From the team standpoint, they are doing everything correct right now to get interest back in the program. A blowout over SD School of Mines was not going to catch anyones attention. This win vs. Portland St will. I'm expecting attendance to continue to improve as the season goes along.

Why? They already have you to do it for them. The Lakes of UND Nation.
Well, someone has to watch them. Their coach and AD do a pretty good job at looking the other direction.

C'mon. These companies hire pretty much anyone that applies. It's not like they were wearing their jerseys while trying to get signatures.
The didn't even try to get signitures so whether they were wearing their jersey's is a pretty mute point.

Best game I've been to in the last 4 years. Amazing what a conference and something to play for elevates the excitement. Also, first game in three years where I didn't cringe at the QB play for 4 quarters. Kudos to the team and staff on their "first" Big Sky win against a very good opponent (too bad this one doesn't go in the conference standings).
Great crowd for the 1st half, very loud. But, let's get out of the embarassing habit of leaving at half and sucking the air and atmosphere out of the game with you. It may have cut it during the transition, when games were usually in hand one way or the other. Almost every game will now be a tight 4 quarter contest.
I am not too worried about the defense. They will come around. For the most part, they were in position to make the play and they were opportunistic with the 2 picks. We do need much more pressure on the quarterback, which was the thing I was most disappointing thing I saw out of our D line and linebackers.
I will be out in San Diego and am ecstatic for our chances. Because of our stupid non counter to begin with and the tough conference games ahead, it would be huge to sneak out with a W. Overall, I am fired up for the rest of the season...
Great post. If the team keeps playing offense like last night, it will give fans a reason to stick around. Just my opinion. It will take fans a little time to realize this is not the offense from the transition and it is so much fun to watch.
-
Any word on Daryl Brown's injury. Portland St. got very aggressive in the passing department when he went out. I'm not saying they would have had less than 300 yards passing if he played the entire game, but his absense was very noticeable.
-
The way this story was handled by NDSU coaches and administrators has got to go down as one of the most botched handlings of a legal situation concerning a sports team at any school. This is and will continue to be a PR nightmare.
There are more than a few with Ducks Unlimited that are not very impressed with the Bison athletic dept.and NDSU in general right now. Just caue Gene said "this is over", the stink isn't leaving Fargo anytime soon. Like I said, good to know its ok to enter NDSU as a boy and its perfectly acceptable to leave as a criminal as long as you win football games.

I was at Scheels tonight and wonder if they would be willing to donate to the IPF. I understand they probably wouldn't give the $5 million they gave to NDSU for their basketball arena but even half that would get us started on the IPF. With the commitment they made to the new store in Grand Forks along with how well UND merchandise sells in Fargo (I don't want to get anyone too butt hurt over conversations I've had), I'd say the school has made them some good money. It would be a nice investment to open the new store.
