McCartney's record was: 2-8-1, 4-7, 1-10, 7-5, 6-6, 7-4, 8-4, 11- 1 - There would have been a Fire McCarney thread the middle of year 3 based on this thread. By the way based on this record it's sad that "the administration and alumni were willing to settle for mediocrity all those years and allow a coach who obviously couldn't recruit and had lost the belief of his players to remain around. Just looking at his record over his first 6 years it was obvious he was in over his head and didn't have a staff for DI football." or so I've been lead to believe based on similar comparisions.

I blame Muss.

As much as I think this thread is not something I want to contribute to - can we not assume that just because a seat is empty doesn't mean it wasn't sold via season tickets - also do students pay for tickets - if not then there is no lost revenue from a student ticket that goes unclaimed. There are always empty seats at The Ralph but it's always a sell out. But I guess whatever you look for you can find - good or bad.

It is acceptable for a bison fan to diss their team when they lose to UND - then it's always "Our worst team in school history, our coach needs to be fired and UND was only the better of two bad teams".

Do we need to start a category and entitle it Nonsense. Yes it's a free country and you can post whatever you want but please explain how this fits into the purpose of talking about and supporting UND sports?

University of Montana football player Matt Hermanson (accused of Criminal Mischief) has been suspended from participating in the Northern Arizona game due to a violation of a student-athlete code of conduct. Hermanson, a junior free safety player for the team, will not make the road trip when the Grizzlies play their first Big Sky Conference game of the season in Flagstaff on Saturday against NAU. Discuss.....

Some here are overly troll-sensitive because of the unending trolls from a school we fondly call FU (Fargo University). Thanks for taking the time to visit we hope to be among the top teams in the conference in the near future.

So someone showing up at a UND Football game in a bison shirt is thus also a dumb*** (happens every home game).

Great Sioux sign placement - gotta love that it's there and no one can get at it. Brilliant! (did see at least two negative Sioux signs in the background - best they could come up with is a sign about another school - I guess.)

Just don't see the need to discuss FU in a UND football thread - don't the trolls bring enough of that?

Take it to Bisonswille.A loss is a loss.

Too bad all the great football minds hang out in chat rooms and aren't able to break into coaching and athletic department management. Ironic how so many like to blame recruiting as one of the problems then threads like this, which we all know potential recruits read, are never ending.

I'll buy you a drink a the Hoggsbreath gathering this year.

If that's the bar you're willing to settle for (extreme sarcasm).

Pile it on I can take it. Hey PayPal has a family to feed too

Aw, that's not nice - save it for the Trolls.

It's just for fun - not like we have entire threads devoted to Smack.

How about: Dear Mom please send bail money For sale - 25 Big Screen TVs NIB NDSU our team is all about exposure

You equate a few people on a chat room to "everyone". Step back from the ledge. I think we should start a money pool for the student(s) that can get UND sign/shirt/logo on camera during the program.

Homecoming draws several thousand fans from out of town that only get to one game a year - they will top 9,000.

My bad. The bad thing is we have two weeks to stew on this loss.

My bad - I get it - he was the victim. What if it was your daughter?

No deflections - it's a part of this teams legacy. Just reflecting on the sad state of sports and you proved my point by comparing how a bunch of kids played on a field to this situation. As I stated he was acquitted, but it happened as did all he dominoes that fell at Montana afterwards.

In case you missed it here's Montana Quarterback Jordon Johnson's story - he was acquitted and made it back in time for spring ball. ISSOULA, Mont. -- Jurors deliberated for more than two hours Friday before acquitting a former University of Montana quarterback in a rape trial that has played out amid NCAA and federal investigations into how the city and school respond to rape allegations on campus. Jordan Johnson and his attorney David Paoli both cried after the verdict was announced, and cheers erupted from the area where the defendant's family was sitting in the packed courtroom. The accusations against Johnson, 20, have drawn much attention in Montana, where UM football is the top sports attraction. Johnson led the school to a successful 2011 season as starting quarterback before being accused of assaulting a woman while watching a movie with her at her home last year. His case has unfolded against a backdrop of NCAA and federal investigations of the university's athletic department and the manner in which rape allegations are handled on campus, investigated by police and prosecuted by the Missoula County attorney's office. The situation left some worried that the highly successful football team was out of control off the field. In closing statements Friday, assistant attorney general Joel Thompson told jurors that the accuser "has had to crawl through a proverbial tunnel of sewage" to see the case through to trial because she wanted accountability, the Missoulian reported. He alleged Johnson maliciously assaulted his client, resulting in psychological damage. The female student testified that she and Johnson were kissing at her home last February when his demeanor changed and he held her down and raped her, despite her protests. Witnesses testified that she was pale and shaking, and that she cried uncontrollably after driving Johnson back to his house. But Johnson told jurors the sex was consensual and that the woman enjoyed it. He testified that she asked him if he had a condom and when he said he didn't, she told him that was OK. He said she never said "no," and he would have stopped if she had. The defense argued the woman became upset and sought vengeance after Johnson got up without any cuddling and didn't talk to her other than to say, "Well, thanks," when she dropped him off at his house.
