IMO a lot of 1883 will be going to hockey (since it can be designated), so this is a good idea. Lots of football alumni out there that hopefully will step up.

Agreed, very confident we will. Fan sites are for ranting

Well they do play a series of game every week right - so it could be worth a road trip.

Could ask the same question about Sac State and Southern Illinois. SI's two "biggest" games are Southwest Missouri and Youngstown State. How do those measure up to NDSU, USD and SDSU? I agree with the saying "You have to earn respect" but until last year we were right up there for previous years. Why doe Sac State and SI get to hand around after basically the same year as we had last year. Agreed pre-season means nothing and certainly not to the players, but it would be nice to get a footnote once in awhile.

Craig Haley will deny it and even make money off a t-shirt, but he ignores UND every year. Pure conjecture on Sac State and if a team like Youngstown or Southern Ill brought in the transfers we did he would instantly be calling them "teams to watch".

I'm thinking the Fan Lunches during football season will take on a whole new intensity

I once read that when you make a coaching change it needs to be one that flips the coaching philosophy, mentality and intensity - the MN Vikings are a good example over their past coaching changes. Nothing wrong with either style, but I would say UND hit the nail with their change.

Based on their on court performance and how fast the new coaching staff has moved forward, most fans are accepting that those eight have moved on.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced that 106 players have filed as early entry candidates for NBA Draft. Treysen Eaglestaff was among the names listed. He has until June 15th to withdraw. #ITANativeSports Hope he has someone looking out for his best interests.

It didn't take the coaching staff or the fans long to move on from the players that left.

I wish Mal the best and I have nothing to base this on other than Hutton's success at Mayberry U, but I feel more confident that this coaching staff will be able to coach up the players they recruit. In addition they are recruiting players that fit their philosophy and plan.

WBB: spending too much time announcing and signing players MBB: not spending enough time announcing and signing players. Got it.

Do the hockey players ever have to go outside (assuming they are taking their classes online)?

What would you have liked to see at a spring ball scrimmage?

Tonight's attendance will be a good measure of how much the fan base has bought in to the new leadership. I'm predicting attendance will be up.

Great opportunity for Hutton to build his own team and not be bogged down with someone else's recruits. Even in his initial media interview he was all in on focusing on the future and had already moved on from the past. Early odds say next years team wins more games than last years.

Actually it's looking like those that left cleaned the house for us.

Consider that most were high level achievers during their high school career. The first inclination is to play at the highest level they can. Then they get buried on the bench, they still have the talent just maybe overstepped their level or went too far away from home.

Wish her well but was really happy that spot opened up - at least a year too late.

I counted it twice and it is 6-5. I see Northern Iowa as ripe for a road win which would put us at least at 7-4.

This has been hashed over on several platforms. Discussions said there was lots going on off the court it seems. From helicopters to attitudes. The staff moved on quickly so they saw the writing on the wall and for many it appears this was addition by subtraction. IMO they put together a team that wins more games next year than last year's team did (that's a low bar but it means they are moving in the right direction).

However, according to what has been shared, it did all go down in 24 hours correct. Most the players put their names in the portal (supposedly a day after telling Mal to her face they weren't) and the next day she stepped down, so it really couldn't have gone much faster.

There is much more to being "the best player" than points on a scoreboard. Addition by subtraction it appears.

IMO he has to take the high road and immediately start looking to the future and his team. It appears that from what he knows he was willing and able to move on from her quickly.

It's South Carolina he's gonna have a tutor, someone to write his papers, someone to take notes on his online classes.
