Chris Farley U at its best - as they say "you can't make it up".

Gotta agree here - not living in Grand Forks it's amazing how much Sioux gear you see - and not just atgames but all over town - it should not be taken as people being anti-supportive of UND - it's a cool name and a cool logo - it's not going anywhere soon - people have closets full of the stuff and there is still a market for Sioux clothing - logo or not - trust me on that one.

Well first of all it's a smaller sample size, second of all the general student population doesn't have assigned tutors and designated study time - all specifically designed to make sure they make the grade. Not complaining because we've had great athletes in the past that even these perks didn't help. Yes those that are "making progress toward a degree" are student-athletes, those that are just attending school to play aren't - they often end up as signature gatherers. .

If all they do is clarify the intent for the future then the cheaters get by and those that followed the rules get screwed. Just another example of "integrity" in action - those that follow the rules and the intent of the rules have it - the others don't.

Come on it was Coach's fault we missed 50% of our free throws, coaches fault we were out of position on defense.

I've never been a coach but I would ask that you share specific times when you are confident a coaching decision won a game - but guess what - whatever example you give can not specifically be credited to just coaching - the players still have to have the talent, savvy and hustle to make the plays - doesn't matter what decision the coach makes the players have to make the plays.

I didn't see a lot of the game but I caught DeRoen's fifth foul and thought it was a waste - away from the ball, shoving somebody near the basket - made him unavailable for the last few minutes of the game. Just not quite good enough down the stretch ...yet.

Do you think the move away from doubleheaders has had any impact - not that they had any choice and they will never go back to that. But it used to be you got two games for the price of one. I think some of the "on the fence" fans just don't want to go to basketball games that often and also tend to choose games to attend (men's or women's) depending on the opponent.

This is so off topic now it's just another Mussman bashing thread (and we all know who's going to be next to chime in) But...If you expect results at DI then you need to find the money to fund DI coaches and resources. UND athletics made the decision to move up (with much pressure from alumni) and with that comes the responsibility to fund the resources to make it successful. Mussman accepted the role of being a transition coach, whether he knew it or not UND decided to go on a bare bones budget for football during the transition - perhaps because they knew from the history of other schools that attendance (and thus income), and recruiting would suffer. All the more reason to respect the kids who did choose UND during the transition (in all sports). So now for some Mussman's legacy went from being one of the coordinator's of the national championship team to a failed head coach. Not saying he didn't have issues just saying that the transitional football coach position at UND was a no-win situation.

Just fact checking - I believe the Feeney family has a long history with SU and that Steve played for SU? Nice to see we are getting back into the Bismarck pipeline with this year's recruiting, as it has a strong UND alumni base. Head football coach at St. Mary's is SU alum and former player. Edit: My bad - CRS issues. (Can't Remember Sh*t).

It's been a while since the Sack City sign has been busy - bring it on.

I have a game worn football jersey from the 1970s and a varsity basketball practice jersey from the Gunther Era that says "Hustle and Defense Win". Willing to sell or trade. (will post pictures once I learn how .

Okay I'm no computer geek so I've never been able to figure out how to upload a picture here - on other sites it's a matter of clicking on the image shortcut and uploading an image - but here it wants a URL, how do I make an image a URL to upload it?

I'm thinking the conference wants to keep the tournament within easy driving distance for the schools that are most likely to send fans so it can be a last minute decision for the casual fan.

Art - you will learn pretty quickly here that there are many that would rather share their knowledge of hiring and firing UND coaches on this board than talk about the team and the season - it's a never ending cycle depending on the season and what happened in the last game played.

Some agendas never change.

We are going to need a bigger training table. Can't wait for this kid to develop.

Met Ferguson's parents one Saturday while tailgating - they were very friendly and said he was enjoying his time (this was early in the season). Things must have changed, the kid was probably 18-19 so gotta cut him some slack and wish him the best.

I wasn't irrate just wondering - because I had heard that UND was threatened with penalties back when gophers used to end up on the ice.

Couple of thoughts: I think the arrangement of Sioux fans was intentional they didn't want us all in one spot. How can the premeditated throwing of a fish on the ice not be a delay of game - doesn't matter if it is their tradition - it can still be penalized as delay of game especially when it's obviously not random - they do it everytime they score? I'm not trying to be a party pooper but a rule is a rule.

Going! Trying to choose a hotel that is both affordable and close by.

Nice to see you - hope we run into each other at Final Five.

He was friendly but busy - it didn't seem appropriate to chat for more than a minute.

Interesting experience in the stands at the game - guy a few seats down was taking tons of notes, wearing Philadelphia Flyer logo. We chatted and he was a Flyer scout there to take notes on Parks. He took a lot of notes so guess he would also be trying to notice other players that perhaps aren't drafted. At the end of Saturday nights regulation when Zane made the last second save he gasped and shook his head like everyone else. Saw him later that night in the same bar that was taken over by Sioux fans. Great weekend - great road trip - we need to develop more rivalries and this could be one. - their fans are passionate, need to learn more about hockey but seem to be getting on board.
