"Big NDSU contributors" is an oxymoron. Similar to "Defense Intelligence". Ultimately, what a gift like this shows is that IF UND decides to go D-1, money will never, ever be an issue.

$$$$$$$$$$

Does this mean we have to give the Nickel back? Speaking of Nickel back, "This is how you remind me".

Lyle Kasprick or James Ray?

Upon further review, I agree. Lyle Kasprick. Originally from Angus, MN, about a half hour away.

Hmmm....very interesting...need more clues!

Long shot: Phil Jackson. Very long shot.

No, we don't. Now for my speculation (and remember where you read it first)...I'm going with the Estate of Chester Fritz. His widow died about 4 months ago...my darkhorse is Betty Engelstad.

IMO, Greene should have been out there a little bit more at the end. Pronger didn't leave the ice for the last five minutes of the game and he was completely gassed. Greene will fight before this series is over.

Is being announced tomorrow. That would put the $$ amount somewhere between George Hyslop and Ralph Engelstad, I believe. Any ideas who and how much? Any guesses?

It might, but not by much.

You have your own bartender? Cool.

Craig Smith

I knew it. Thank you, SiouxMD. RD17 knew it. Apparently he got the revised edition of the NCAA Manual while Harmeson, Kupchella, and Buning got the old one.

Iowa Bison, you seem fairly resourceful (for a Bison fan ) maybe you could dig up a few of those June 1 deadline posts that appeared here about two months ago and post them.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry on either this website or bisonville has known this for months. If the official word at UND is to say they didn't know when the deadline is, I shudder. And for those of you that blindly put your faith into the basketball search committee, you need only to reference this matter. Hey Harmeson, how about updating your NCAA Manual?

I agree with that. I think UND will have to declare their intentions before being granted permanent conference affiliation.

Yes, I disagree. You said UND fans were trumpeting secret meetings. That didn't happen. A blanket accusation that you can back up with any kind of facts.

Show me where a UND fan has "trumpeted" "secret meetings". Go ahead and show me. Are you sure you're not talking about the guy from the DII Football website? I've seen some of your fine work on bisonville. Your ignorant blanket accusations might feed the frenzy of morons on that particular site, but it doesn't work here. And if you can't refrain from statements such as that, then stay away.

Rip Van Winkle, welcome to the party.

Reading through this thread, I was just thinking to myself how orderly and thoughtfull the discussion was. I'm being serious. Good points by UND, NDSU, and SDSU fans. No name calling or smack taking place here. You won't find this at bisonville, where if UND is brought up, someone by the name of "kchats" goes on a bizarre rant. Thank you to the Bison and Jack fans on this thread for displaying some class.

An Open Letter to Tom Buning, Betty Ralston, and Gene Roebuck: It's not too late. By not using the term "Finalists" to describe the four coaches invited for on-campus interviews, you have wisely left the door wide open for other candidates to enter the picture. It is one of the few moves you've made that I agree with. Now, I implore you to use this option. Craig Smith is still out there. He's waiting to hear from you. Mr. Buning, I know you've met with Smith. And I also know that you were impressed with him. Call him. It's not too late. Give him the interview vacated by Herbst's departure. If you don't, I can assure you this: When you start looking for a new coach again in three years, Craig Smith won't be at Mayville State anymore, and he won't be waiting for his phone to ring.

It was good to see Greene in the lineup. He'd been a scratch for the last couple of weeks.

1. You might want to go back to your original post where you said something to the effect "a whole lot of division II experience". My point is, that Miles DID NOT have "a whole lot of division II experience"....If Craig Smith is not a finalist for this job, then UND has pissed this opportunity done its collective legs. I hope and pray that Mayville St. is on UND's schedule again next year. 2. No.

Two things: 1. Where do you think Tim Miles was before he went to soon-to-be Division 1 NDSU? 2. Craig Smith is not, I repeat, IS NOT going to come to UND as an assistant.
