The Walrus

We agree on more than you think..... Be careful throwing around that term "Mid-Major", it could upset those that really believe that we will be playing in Div 1......? But then again, I guess when we complete this transition, we will be competing for recruits, wins, and National titles with the likes of UCLA, Duke, Stanford, Kentucky, North Carolina .....

Check NDSU's schedule and see who they are playing...? What 5 years into transition, and still playing some of these same schools and always will, it's called economics... I was and still very skeptical on the D1 move..... We will never get the schools from the Big 10 / Big 12 these big time schools (within our region) will never travel and play UND......UND will be for the next 10-15 years, roadwarriors and sacrafical lambs in some cases..... And we will still be playing a couple of local lower level Colleges ever year to fill a schedule......I'm sorry but when we get a big game at home like Texas-panhandle State Tech it will be hard to get excited. Our biggest games will big the old NCC match-ups with NDSU, SDSU, USD,UNC ect.....and they will be doing the same thing. So what did we really accomplish, besides spending more money....?

It's a two for one deal UNI will be here next year.... But I can't wait to play Valley City, Mayville and Minot at Home..... Crookston should be a sell out too...

I agree, I also believe she was very disingenuous about how she handled the resignation so late, so UND had no other choice but to appoint her sister as interm Coach.... Very Unprofessional (imo)

Hopefully the program can move forward, there still must be some communications problems within the department for nobody to know a Head Coach is leaving 2 weeks before the season starts.....? We need a Division 1 caliber Head Coach, this season may be a loss, but for the future.....

yes, talked with Pat Simmers today, expecting 125 golfers, hopefully no rain, last year almost ran out of beer....?

Ok....here we go... Back when I grew up in Denver, I had a part-time gig as a ring 2nd for the AWA, we used to walk guys to the ring, and take back their robes, feathers, flags ect... Then at the end of the matches we would usher them back to the locker room....Sometimes getting pelted with batteries and beer.....lol Got to see 1st hand however some of the Greats, Dr. X, Butcher and Mad Dog Vachon, Dino Bravo, Sgt Slaughter, Adrain Adonis, Jesse the Body, Greg and Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkle, Big John Stud, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Nick Bockwinkle, Larry the Ax and Curt Henning, Rick Martel, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Rick Flair..... Great Memories.... Andre the Giant was the best, when he was in the locker rooms and drinking cokes and playing cards.....In his hands a regular Coke can looked like a 5oz juice can and he had trouble holding on to regular size playing cards, because they were too small.....lol

Missed 3 on 1st try....but got lucky with a couple guesses.... http://www.intentionalfoul.com/image...CAAHelmets.xls

Why always so negative....? Last year we had 125 Golfers at the Bison Open Scramble at the Grand Forks Country Club.....They are genuine guys, both Gene and Craig

Would this be similar to say..... buying fake championship rings.....?

Here is a thought....Have the press conference at the Country Club in front of 200 Sioux Boosters, Supporters, Staff, Coaches, Sponsors...... Is that a positive.......?

I'm really trying to understand our communication and leadership at UND......The Grand Forks Sioux-Per Swing will start tomorrow at 11am with lunch and tee off at 12:30 pm....The Sponsors, Supporters and Boosters are expecting that our Coaches and Athletic Adminstration will attend and particapate......? This Press Conference (scheduled for 2pm at the Betty) could not have been scheduled for another day or a earlier time 9 am....? I guess that is why I never went to College, there was not a class on common sense.....

Welcome back my brother from another mother.....welcome back!

When this series resumes....in a game that has any meaning......the Metrodome will in all likelyhood no longer exsist......

It does not look like a AD was needed to schedule 22 D1 Games for womens basketball, I think it is time for a change in the womens volleyball leadership. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=78407

His wife is from our area, I believe

His to lose, Is what I hear..... http://uclabruins.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl...nes_matt00.html

Neither interested anymore, were once a couple of years ago have now moved on to better things...

Why now.....?, Lets hire someone from South Africa....

I think I just saw a bus run over Betty..... Sad part is that the Staff tried to help Ryan all they could on this one, Vince is right it falls on his shoulders. What is the saying...."You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make him drink" I hope Ryan gets it going, it would be great to have him back in 09.

Welcome Brian Faison to the University of North Dakota.....

The "Walrus" has a broken fin, but will waddle out this weekend......

We are not going to hire the AD Wes wanted......sorry (did not make a interview)
