Gotta give CC credit for what they have done based on the obstacles they have to recruiting: super high tuition (not everyone gets a full ride), small fan base, no local community recognition - of course it is a small private college so the educational benefits are outstanding.

Please show examples of when I said that Mussman should be kept in charge of UND football - you won't find any. You will find that what my opinion (which I am entitled to without ridicule) was that the UND administration could be trusted to make the right decisions and that I quesioned the value, benefit to UND and integrity behind a constant barrage of posts that called for a man's job, insulted student-athletes and questioned every move the UND adminstration was/wasn't making. The rest just isn't worth the time. I challenge you to go one week without a negative post.

How does that work for the majority of alumns that don't live within range of the free TV. Big Sky Network is sweet for those living outside the state.

Hey I made a mistake with a rating - why call me out? My thoughts are that back in December many were sharing too much doom and gloom about this year's recruiting opportunities and class. Kids just don't have to make a decision that early and while I am very excited about the new football staff I think the doom and gloomers are now over the top with what a recruiting miracle has occured. I continue to be amazed at how many posters here that are UND fans question every decision and every move that the UND staff makes. It is certainly okay to question things but there is seldom kudos given or retractions made. I'm not a kool - aid drinker I just trust that UND is a quality institution and hires great people who know what they are doing. Plus I don't know what parameters they are working under, guess that's why I throw out so much fewer accuastions, questions and insults to their ability and integrity.

I'm not the smartest one in the room - that appears to be you. There are so many holes in this rant I don't know where to start. But there are enough pissing matches going on in every thread I'm going to pass. Just back away from the ledge - it's not as bad as it seems to you.

KFGO is not going to take UND over NDSU - at the end of the day having WDAY isn't so bad - UND gets lots of air time in that market - just have to accept that SU is going to get the primary share of the media attention.

Okay other than UND who's going to bring the most fans to this thing? I'm not feeling any urgency to get my tickets yet, there are going to be plenty and hotel rooms also shouldn't be a problem. My biggest concern is finding a place at the table at Hoggsbreath.

Not much choice in the market - KFGO has FU, WDAY has UND - they have to program for ratings.

Perhaps they casually mentioned they have a left over big screen TV from Best Buy just sitting around.

There's always a fan social it's hosted by the SCSU Booster Club Saturday night - watch for details. Great road trip, always plenty of Sioux fans around downtown after the games.

So how would you feel if you and some FU buddies were talking football and I walked up and said "I hate your team and hope they lose every game. In fact I cheer against them." and then I proceeded to try and engage you in conversation about FU football. To me if just doesn't work to have FU fans come to our site and try to cozy up to us and then constantly be dropping thoughts like I root against UND football, FU football has left UND in the dust, we win every recruiting battle." I think most could understand that someone who says they hate your team isn't someone you want to hold a conversation with about your team.

Is it urban lengend or truth that Northwood changed its name from Trojans to something else because of the underlying reference to condoms?

Back on topic - don't you love watching a big tight end catch one over the middle and turn it into something big. Name: LUKE FIEDLER School: Freedom High School – Orlando, FL (Coach Jeffrey Higgins) Vitals: Tight End (#34). 6’5″ – 215. - See more at: http://siouxfb.areav...h.7NnvZPQb.dpuf

All are welcome, we come here to talk about UND. Usually when someone has to say "I'm not trolling" it's followed by something that could be taken as trolling. And cut the "gosh you sure are sensitive here" crap - glad to talk UND recruiting with anyone, not so interested in hearing "we win every recruiting battle" from another school ad nasium. 119 posts in 8 years not really that engaged in talking about UND.

Yah but do we really need them commenting on and refuting everything that is posted? I realize we can't stop it. But FU isn't on our schedule, they have moved on and "left us behind", they get every recruit they want, our conference is weak, we are a hockey school, we'll never catch up to them - we hear it all just about everyday from one of them - so what's the point of trolling here?

Really - like we need to hear this over and over - even if it's true? ... from my perspective NDSU has won most of the recruiting battles with UND in the last few years ...Getting Ezra, even if it's a full ride offer compared to maybe a partial from the Bison, would be a great get for UND. 1. Personally even if it's true recently - do we really need FU fans posting this? Bring something constructive to the discussion 2. So FU fans need to comfort themselves by saying the only way UND could get a player that FU wants is that we offer a full-ride and they are only offering a partial (something they can't prove but need to feel is true). What gets me is the masquarade as a "just stopping by to chat" when the reality is they are here to say "Oh and by the way if you haven't heard lately FU is better than UND."

Please don't come here and respond to every comment made about FU (Fargo Univeristy in case you don't know) we have enough trolls here doing that. Please don't come here with the purpose of reminding us how good the FU football team is - that's covered too. I can't believe you have so little to talk about over on Bizon - Swille that you need to come over here for intellectual conversation - well the intellectual part I can see. It gets tiring that every thread becomes a pissing match started by FU trolls. This is a UND fan thread we are going to post about UND, we are going to poke fun at FU - it's what we do here because we are UND fans.

So are you joining the tailgating bunch for the next 4 years?

So if I am just walking on the sidewalk the police can stop and question me and I have to allow it? Perhaps it's because she appeared to be a minor that it changes the sitatuion - however that would be considered "Age profiling" in the politically correct world. Unless she was doing something illegal how could the police stop her from walking?

Here is the story within the story - it appears the GF Herald has pulled the story - at least from the online paper. Isn't this thread a reflection of people enjoying when someone who was raised with a silver spoon in their mouth makes a mistake? Who doesn't enjoy it when Paris Hilton does something stupid. Young adults make mistakes - if they have grown up in a spotight it makes the news. You just have to hope the mistakes aren't so big they can't overcome them. I do think this situtation, while not funny, is a great example of irony. Wonder if it will make the AP - that might be why the Herald pulled it (which since I can't find it on their website I am assuming happened) - to prevent further publicity. Okay this is a little dark humor but I'm thinking Grandma Marilyn is not going to invite her on the Eat Beat anytime soon or perhaps she will start referring to her as DG, for drunk granddaughter in her columns.

Thanks for the highlights - I didn't catch anything on TV but the announcers must have been impressed with Sioux following - once again a Denver road game sounds like a Sioux home game. All that was missing was the Beer Grandma on the big screen.

PJ Sparks tweeted on January 7th - "New beginnings out here in california." only he knows what that means.

I never bought into the postings here that said "This is a throw away year," or concerns about only having a couple of committments. Common sense and experience tells you there are plenty of quality student athletes out there who have no reason to make an early committment. Plus UND is a very nice campus and University with great facilities - it's biggest recruiting hurdle is probably the weather. it's not always about "Dah Football" sometimes it's about what area they want to study in (they have higher goals than being petition takers and late night Best Buy employees) or they have family ties to a school or region. Plus you never know the quality of a recruiting class until around their sophomore or even junior year - so it doesn't matter if they sign in October of January. As we all know there's no science, no guarantees when it comes to recruiting. I'm hoping we can get back to enjoying the seasons and talking about the teams without questioning every decision the administration and coaches make in all sports. Perhaps I'm dreaming as there are always those who are smarter than the administration and the coaches.

With nothing but cold weather and short daylight hours ahead for awhile it's nice to consider that the Spring Football Game is on the calendar for April 26th. Nothing but sunshine and kool-aid preferred on this thread!

Highly sought after coach, successful whereever he coached previously, instrumental in UND's success while he was here as an assistant - but already last year some on here were questioning the hire. I like what was shared on last week's GF Herald Chat Room - "Can we stop asking if a UND coach is on the hot seat after every loss".
