Yah but I think the "track" record on southern recruits is not that great...homesickness, weather, off field issues.

Well in a way it did because every year USD would lose 4 conference games (SU, SDSU, Omaha and UND).

I think most of us are fine rooting for a ND kid to do well. As usually it always comes down to the visitors coming here and expecting that UND fans will heap praise on anything or anyone associated with SU. And I scratch my head that most of these uninvited posters still don't understand that most pokes are simply that - pokes because that is what rival fans do. There is no need to monitor and address every single comment made - it's a UND fan site. It's what we do.

Before social media no one would have even known about Prater -sometimes reporters just need Blog material.

2011 after UND came back and won it (and the Great West Conference) it was reported that some USD players did more than a little damage in the locker room. Although the coach was probably gone anyway some speculated that it contributed to the decision.

Does the Alerus allow signs - or is that part of their no fun policy? Would love to see some reference to the locker room damage they did after their last heart-breaking loss in the building. "Vandalize the Coyotes" "You busted up our locker room we'll bust up your defense" Just the word "Vandalism" and "Class" with the crossed circle over the words.

The committee member that threw that idea out there should have to have her own budget adjusted to DII levels.

Times have changed now students have to be bribed to support their team.

Easy to find when you are a fan of the team.

I don't think it shows leadership to micro-manage and react to everything said in initial committee meetings.

Just wondering if every college ice arena has their school's logo in their ice? No way to know but what' the big deal unless the media makes it one.

I like to keep things in perspective - I would love a win at BG and think it it is possible. I'm not going out on the ledge if we start 0-2. I believe that 8-3 in the BIg Sky makes the playoffs and I think that is achievable barring any more injuries of key players. I also think that 7-4 could make the playoffs if the Big Sky has a representative in the room with some balls. I still don't read or hear much that allows me to believe that the Big Sky as a whole goes to bat for UND or even cares about us - plenty of examples over the past years with the playoff snub being one of them and conference awards being another. With all the discussion about looking into a different conference if everything fell into place I would have no problem with a move. I would definitely be willing to go on road trips that were between 200 - 400 miles.

If a win is better than a lost how does a 6-5 team get in over a 7-4 team?

It was predicted to be slugfest and it was a slugfest. They had a great defense. Our defense gave up 7 points. Our offense looked shaky in the first game of the season. Last year teams got into the playoffs wit 5 losses and some are writing off the season after one loss. Find something positive - it's a game being played by student athletes. Look out the window the sun came up. Enjoy the season.

Just logged in ...is this a fan site?

They are picked 6th in an East Coast conference, we were picked 4th in the Big Sky. I do respect them as an opponent but I see UND winning this by more than one touchdown.

I hope President Kennedy sees that comment as an embarrasment to him and his selection choice.

I believe in the years it was successful it was because there were a couple of player parents that organized it. I am pretty sure the football department helped with logistics.

They have a shot if they are "quality losses"

Announcers kept harping on theirlack of depth. They had some injuries too last night. Youcould say lack of depth ie: experience was what kept us out of playoffs

UND was right around 39 out of 123 schools in home attendance for football last year. Room for improvement but far from "Sad".

Ah but you got to create this without having to deal with all the personal agenda's and politics that will be in the room. This is a totally defendable criteria - unless changing conference is the first item on the agenda.

Was Lowell or anyone else on this committee on the nickname committee?
