Thomas was staying in a new capacity, giving the situation at least some continuity. Less sense of urgency. Buning/Ralston/Harmeson clusterbleep. Wouldv'e expected nothing different. It's a dismissal and a total reboot. Needed a sense of urgency for the current players and future recruits.

I think the fact that DeBoer applied on the final day, and apparently was asked, is very telling. I think it goes his way.

I think you nailed it here. Booster lunch on 12/12 would have been perfect. The notion that nothing is happening during the 15 day window other than fax machines whirring, hard drives grinding, and paperwork stacking up is absurd.

Maybe Jackson and Golladay knew something. Faison was waiting on Rich Ellerson the whole time! Three yards and a cloud of dust baby!

Ugh...

He certainly was known to wander below the dots a time or two...

I now think I crashed the Kappa Sig pregame party and ended up drinking out of Mafia Man's glass by mistake...

You're right...I give up....kids, too much alcohol is bad for you

I would bet January of 86 at home against Duluth might have been the biggest...but that was an 8-7 win...that must be the one I'm thinking of...it's all a bit foggy

We'll I'll be darned...

Which can be found next to Lennons video "Erradicating the Veer"

Maybe we are thinking of the 5-4 game in October 88 mafia man...

Vikings have reached out to Penn State's Bill O'Brien

Yeah it was October of 1990

The media guide is wrong, the games were in GF.

I was there. It had to be 89-90 or 90-91... I left Grand Forks after that. I can tell you that this game went down as MafiaMan describes it, great great game one of the best I've seen.

Maybe he's got a blockbuster announcement coming...I was hoping for someone 12/12 or 12/20 at the latest. This needs to have wow factor...I don't see it in the current candidate pool outside of Pflugrad. If it was my son coming home from UND without a HC I'd be quite concerned. They're gonna go home not knowing...terrible timing.

Then who in Sam Hell puts CFL in the job description? Edit: Maybe it's a Roger Thomas play from one of the old HR cronies. If it's Schwiegert or a no-name from the applicant list...he doesn't have a network.

Screen the candidates daily, conduct the phone interviews daily, abide by the process, and get this thing done...and have a short list made out at all times...it's called contingency planning....this could have been done last Friday.

I don't think my post was very clear...I can say I wasn't mocking you. The participants on this forum would have been a more efficient search committee than what is in place now...seriously...

Keep going...

All this hand wringing and teeth gnashing before Christmas...and UND is on the bubble. Wake me up in March.

Nothing would surprise me at this point. If that were the case the presser would have been about 10:00 December 11th.

We'd have done this deal already. "Wisdom of Crowds" is a book Faison should read copyright Cratter. Faison should've crowdsourced this hire! I'm kidding!
