  1. If you ever want to get Amy Ruley fired up. Ask her how UND recruited Jenny Crouse or found out about her. That story always gets Amy fired up!!

    As a coach and a game plan, if our Bigs were the reason UND was winning, why would UND not run more high low offense, isolation, and impose theri will from the tip?

  2. I just cannot help but think back to all the pre game hype of how UND was a lock to win this tourney. No one played as tough as a schedule as UND. I heard Swyg saying it Wed morning. When you are not humble it is too easy to become humbled. Whatever happened to having some success and saying, ah shoot, we were lucky. Even after the game coach Roebuck saying, call them great when they win the title. Humility.

  3. The girls from the 97 and on team would compete!!! Night in, night out!! Did not matter if they were playing Southern Indiana, or UMC. They played their butts off!! I will never forget Katie Richards playing with two cotton swabs in her nose to stop it from bleeding!! Can you imagine what the other team thought of that!! Tell me one gal we have now that is that tough, has that will to win like that, or Tiffany Pudenz or Jamie Pudenz, or Jenny Crouse's will to win. Those girls hated to lose, plain and simple. They still hate to lose today, I watched Tiff play city leauge and she still has fire in her to play!! You cant teach that, you cant coach that!! FIRE!!! Will to win. Will to compete.

  4. Jim Antes asked about funding from student fees? Tom Buning said there has been no movement on student fees to date. He did state that if students paid an additional $46 per semester in student fees, it would generate over $1,000,000 in revenue for Athletics.

    Get ready for a hike!! The Division 1 money will have to come from some place...and the students are a prime target...there are no more big marketing menu's...Altru, Coke, beer establishments are tapped..you certainly cannot raise ticket prices...people in town are already complaining heavily about that...especially when there are open seats and ticket prices go up...to the common person..that displays greed....and in the midwest where hard working values prevail...greed...does not bode well...

  5. I agree. As much as I appreciate having the Wednesday night coaches' shows, they are filled with too much inane chitchat and too little actual discussion of the sports, especially during the football and basketball segments. It's frustrating to listen to much of the time. As for Richie, we all can agree that he was a good guy, but the ONLY possible way he should still be at UND would have been in some sort of administrative capacity, which he apparently wasn't interested in. For Swyg and/or Tim to suggest that the fans' dissatisfaction with the men's basketball program was unwarranted is beyond ludicrous.

    not to mention the six people who listen to the show...one being K dog...who wont respond to this thread cuz he doesnt own a computer....roflmao

  6. they are two local announcers who do a 3 hour morning show....as far as the 3 hours of reading the GF Herald....they just keep repeating things...over and over all morning long...it is quite amusing...lol...i am being sarcastic of course....if this web site is so bad....why have they referenced it before...as well as Mr Fee and the Forum guru read this web site as well....possibly 4 of their 6 listeners responded to this thread...from the people I know more listen to 1310 than 1440....oh well...they should just put the KFAN guys on from 6 til 9 til PA and Dubay come on...their funnier anyway....when Swyg and Tim were gone on vacatoin...it was refreshing to listen to a better show....and BTW....Swyg you wont ask the tough questions....which is why he got bent this morning anyway....and all 5 of your callers for the coaches shows...ask tougher questions....lol...laughable....guess someone hit a sore spot....band aid needed!!!

  7. Just cut athletic positions to balance the budget and now their ready for D-I? This is a ploy by their president to shut the boosters up.

    UND cut positions in Oct...sounds almost as irrational....but...adding positions to balance it out...UNO hasnt done that yet...lol

  8. I wonder how this transition and move to D1 without any chance of post season will affect the GPA??

    Will the mission statement change....in that area athletes will no longer get a quality education at THE University of North Dakota??

  9. This is the best thing for UND football wise. I'm positive if UND didn't go DI, Lennon would. He's simply done too much at this level NOT to get serious attention from the I-AA level (Head Coach) or the I-A level (assistant coach)

    I find this theory interesting.....what year did he interview at Sac State?? 2002??? it is now 2006...and he has interviewed or been mentioned for how many D1 or D1AA jobs??? 00??? I am just not sure where people get this from....and its a great thing for football....they dont have to play with the BIG boys....they get to play the minor league teams....if UND will go D1...go all the way...not 1AA....

  10. Who knows what UND will do in two years if your hypothetical scenario comes about. By then UND may have decided it can't afford D-I, or may have been accepted to Big Sky. Things change -- keep in mind that NDSU officials promised the faithful a conference within a year and a half of their announcement or that they'd be looking for new jobs.

    Having listened to the press conference and paid close attention to what UND has been saying the last few months, however, it sounds like they are pretty reasonable about conference affiliation expectations. In fact, in response to a question about what they learned from watching NDSU, they talked about learning how hard they'd have to work to find a conference. My best guess is that they're going into this thinking your scenario quite likely, so hopefully they're prepared to deal with it.

    Mr. Kupchella has told the coaches that if the money isnt there...since everyone is telling him the two million dollars is there....they will not go Div. 1

  11. Who needs details such as this? It's simply much easier for a disgruntled former employee to stir the pot without providing actual facts. ???

    Perhaps there are current employees who arent too happy....i thought specific shots at posters was not allowed on this board??

    In fact a current employee told me he is on vacation....not at the AD's meetings....so I guess current employees do not know then huh??

    My point being why not have the AD at this press conference??? Does this not seem odd??

  12. Wow...I guess my source was correct!!! This will kill recruiting IMO....if your going to do it .....dont delay!!!

    Does it strike anyone odd that when this press conference is held....the AD is on vacation??? The person who is pushing for this is not around?? Does that seem odd to anyone else??

  13. Cratter -Long term 13 years is nothing, much better than what is currently available for conferences. F'in Midcon is not worth it long term, Big Sky is 50/50.

    Let Mid-con select the DSU's, get them thru transition, and become the foundation of the Mid-con, which giving their facilities, size, complete athletic programs relative to the rest of the conference they will become. Starting in '10, major shifts are going to begin in D-I. At that time, opportunities for NCC move-ups will open up.

    Start with the NCC to D-I, and in about 5-7 years, Mid-con will become consolidated along I-29/I-80.

    Mr. Kupchella has been quoted as saying the Mid Con is not a viable option for UND at this time....which leaves the Big Sky...which I am not sure how great of a option this is as well....

  14. The coaches were also told that none of the 18 sports will be dropped.....which i find extremely hard to believe...where will the money come from then?? that big of a contribution from alums??? I have my skepticism...I also found out that Neb-Omaha is currently 1 million in debt in their athletic dept...interesting findings....this information from a AD applicant who did not get the position....UND may not be the only school hurting....I also find it interesting that right after all the fireworks about UND going Division 1 along with the AD's comments....after being at Twamley Hall all afternoon has been on vacation??? ironic?:silly:

  15. A reliable "inside source" stated that the President...not Bush stated that UND athletics would make a internal move this school year....to see if the money will be there for a move to D 1....if it is, then the next year will be a exploratory year....interesting change of events....comments??

  16. So in order to take football to D1AA people would be willing to sacrifice other programs and other coaches?? If Roebuck decided not to stick it out or any other coaches? Interesting...

    Getting NDSU's leftovers?? I do not understand that comment....so you feel UND would be able to go head to head with Minnesota and get those kids Minnesota can get or cannot get as well as NDSU and Wyoming or Nebraska recruiting in this area as well?

  17. Among other things: He said with NDSU, SDSU, and UNC gone, the NCC is not the same, and that there aren't the same quality schools to replace them. Also, he said upon arriving at UND, he's learned that being at the top of D2 is not offering enough rewards. That the cost of D2 is increasing and so why not spend a little more and go D1, where the rewards and privilages are far greater. He was very direct and straight forward with his comments.

    more benefits as far as money but at what cost, getting border line athletes that no other d 1 school wants, hurt your over all team GPA is the cost worth the benefit....as well as losing some of your current coaches.....

  18. I've heard Buning speak about cost v. return in DI v. DII terms in front of his coaches (at a Sioux Boosters meeting). He was talking about the guarantees even low-level NSIC teams want to play BB v. UND at the time.

    My source(s) are 3 coaches in a coaches meeting.

  19. [May be hollow, but a resounding echo/]

    LOL...that was funny.....along those very same lines, if Ben Jacobson had applied, now the head coach at Northern Iowa, he does not have his masters, so he would not have had a chance to get this head coaching position, would there be public outcry then....even more than now i would be willing to bet!!!!
