    Eight Bison football players charged

    in Community

    Posted

    This latest story is not one incident. It's a series of incidents that show an incredible amount of stupidity and lack of civic maturity over an extended amount of time. In most states, what they did would have been serious felonies.

    You simply don't get it. "Not smart enough, grown up enough or sophisticated enough" applies to not only players, but posters like you.

    That's a little rough.

    Bottom line is it's bigger news because of who they are: "Ex-Bison football players." It doesn't matter what their status with the team is now. Bizon buttfootball is huge in Fargo, and rightly so, the headlines are going to be bigger for these guys because of the amount of news the scandal has already gotten and, again, because of who they are. If they were Johnny Nobody who shirked his responsibility you prolly wouldn't hear about it at all. For those having a problem with them being referred to has "Ex-Bison," until they do something else in their lives that merits a new descriptor (i.e. serve on City Council, get elected president, work as Chief of Police of Fargo :lol: , become a TV meteorologist or whatever, this is how they'll be described -- for better or for worse.

    Lastly, Gene Taylor's a big boy. If he's asked about this by the media, I am sure he will handle himself just fine.

    I like where you are going with this but I think EWU pounded Illinois State.

    Thanks! I said I was no good at MVC trivia, and I was right. I'll stick to what I know. :lol: Wish you'da left my quote off your reply; now my dumbness is there for all to read forever! Kidding... I deserve it. :p

    Probably the same sort of guys who shut them down last season.

    Funny. I don't remember the offense being the problem in that game as much as the absolute excuse for a defense that masqueraded in UND uniforms on the Inferno turf. But I'll defer to your memory on that one since you are THE Encyclopedia when it comes to all things UND athletics. :)

    Tom Miller is tweeting that Chad's JUCO coach said he was competing for playing time with four 6-10 centers on the roster, all with D-1 talent.

    Situation was not much better at Colorado State, where he was one of only two sophs on the roster; the rest of the roster included 7 seniors and 2 juniors. And one of the juniors was a 7-foot, 280-pound solid chunk of humanity.

    Still, Chad has experience playing in the Big Dance, collecting minutes in the Rams' loss to Murray State in 2012 at Louisville, Ky.

    On the flipside to the Big Event, there's this little doozy of a YouTube clip making its rounds recently: (WARNING!!!!! Profanity, gratuitous drunkenness and brief nudity ensues. Click at your own peril :) ) Go UND!

    What conference will the other Dakotas be in 2015?

    The same UMKC that UND lost to at home that NDSU beat by 19 and 37 points. You probably should just keep quiet about the basketball teams.

    Men's basketball has traditionally been pretty average at NDSU. The fact that NDSU has won a conference title in D-I is not too shabby. You'd also be wise to not talk a whole lot of game about NDSU winning the Summit only once, considering UND's (lack of) success against the Summit basketball teams. Women's sports are bonus, no one really cares about them unless the team is doing really good.

    I realize you play with the team you have, but If you are into footnotes, UND played UMKC two starters down with injuries ( including our All-Conference first teamer) and had the poorest free throw shooting performance of the season. That said, this is the same lineup that forced SDSU to throw up a prayer of a dagger from outside to win it in the final seconds in Brookings.

    You might know something about the challenges of playing even one man down (Brauhn) against relatively comparable to inferior competition.

    2013 Recruiting

    in Football

    Posted

    I am not talking about anyone in particular, although I did go back and look at your comments and the word "awful" was used. I just find it amazing that you have very little positive on any recruit or transfer. Most fans of a DI-AA school would be excited at the possibility of a Big 12 QB coming to play, but it seems that many on this board want to find fault or criticize some aspect of him. This isn't just about him, this is my rant against negativity.

    My point is that it gets old reading posts from wanna be analysts that shred kids in a attempt to make themselves look smart. I understand that you may not think a certain player is a good fit, good person or even a good player, but please remember that these are just kids trying to get a education.

    I think geaux_Sioux was always quite positive and complimentary of Braden Hanson when he was coming in from UNC. And his enthusiasm over him only grew as he saw him perform at UND, and justifiably so. So, in fairness, not all transfers have gotten the stink eye from GS.

    Wait a minute. I thought those schools along with USF were already in a football conference with UND.

    And that Northwestern Oklahoma St., Lindenwood, Missouri S&T, California-Stockton, North Greenville, Southern Oregon, West Texas A&M, St. Cloud St., Augie and Minn. State conference was one to write home about, too. :silly:

    I thought USD used to be in the same conference as UND. Hmmm? Seem to remember a classic choke by the Yotes in the Alerus Center circa 2011.

    You know, A-holes in glasshouses shouldn't throw ... oh, for cripessakes, just forget it.

    It'd just be people guessing. I don't think NDSU would take off to the Big Sky unless it was absolutely vital. MVFC is a wonderful home for football and I can't imagine NDSU wanting to leave that behind for the Big Sky.

    I'm sure you could have an interesting chat with Gene Taylor about it though! His opinion is a lot more important!

    That's about as close to a "yes" as you're going to get from a Bison fan. :lol:

    UND Alumni CEO Tim O'Keefe to hang it up

    O’Keefe to Retire as Head of UND Alumni Association & Foundation

    Grand Forks (5.8.2013) -- After 11 years as Executive Vice President and CEO of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation, Tim O’Keefe has announced he will retire on March 31, 2014.

    “This chapter of my personal and professional life has been a privilege,” O’Keefe said. “I can’t imagine more rewarding work than for an organization and a mission close to my heart and so critical to the public good and future of the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, our region and my beloved great state of North Dakota.”

    O’Keefe, in partnership with UND leadership, led the University through its first major capital campaign. North Dakota Spirit | The Campaign for UND, which ends at Homecoming in October, surpassed its $300 million goal six months early. During the campaign, the number of unique donors to UND jumped from 8,000 a year to more than 13,000, and funds raised annually jumped from $8 million to $45 million.

    “Our alumni and friends are special people. The branding of our campaign as ‘North Dakota Spirit’ could not have been more accurate in its representation of the accomplishments, integrity, shared passion and loyalty among our followers for our University and state,” O’Keefe said.

    “The University of North Dakota has a great friend in Tim O'Keefe,” UND President Robert Kelley said. “His work as the head of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation has been exemplary, and we are the beneficiaries of that work and leadership, which includes oversight of the $300 million North Dakota Spirit Campaign. Tim’s legacy is already helping to provide an exceptional UND for the future. All of UND joins me in wishing Tim and his wife, Becky, the very best on the next exciting phase of their lives.”

    A transition team made up of current and former UND Alumni Association & Foundation Board members as well as UND partners will map out the steps for finding O’Keefe’s replacement.

    “Tim has been a visionary leader with an incredible list of accomplishments over his tenure, which has benefited us all,” said Al Royse, UND Foundation Chair. “But while we will certainly miss Tim and his leadership, he has positioned us very well for the future, and we look forward to continuing what he has started. A transition team has been formed, and we are in the process of finding the next great leader for this organization.”

    “Tim’s leadership has been transformational for the UND Alumni Association & Foundation,” said Carolyn Becraft, UND Alumni Association Chair. “Under his tenure, the connection to alumni has been greatly strengthened and the endowment has more than tripled. You can see his vision in the Gorecki Alumni Center, the Hopper-Danley Spiritual Center, the President’s residence, and multiple projects currently in the pipeline that will continue to transform the campus. He has built a strong organization that will continue to do great things for UND.”

    During O’Keefe’s tenure, UND alumni and friends have established more than 479 new endowments ― investments that provide support for years into the future ― including 262 for student scholarships.

    “We only exist for one reason, and that’s students in one form or another,” O’Keefe said. “Today’s students are tomorrow’s alumni. We have always attracted a unique quality of student to UND, and it is the students who have inspired me every day.”
