    Iowa State has 17 guys left, just one starter. 

    Old HC -> Penn State
    New HC -> one year at Wassu and Jackbun-land before that for two seasons 

    More crazy portal numbers.

    No one is saying to change back to Fighting Sioux, but they can and should sell more merchandise.

     

    I'd guess there's a formal or informal limit on how much Sioux merch we can sell and still be seen as having changed our nickname.

    We had a weak woke president that chose not to fight the matter. There most definitely was a choice.

    I grew up in GF area, played for the Sioux and was a militant 'keep the nickname' guy until it just wasn't worth what it was going to cost.  I also have a house full of Sioux stuff that will last me as long as I am on this earth.  

    They fought it to tune of millions of dollars but it became untenable by the end.   The pain that was going to be imposed went way beyond any potential gain by keeping the nickname.  I believe we got jobbed on playoff seeding or left out completely as punishment in multiple sports. 

    If we'd have chosen a better nickname like Nodaks, I think the transition wouldn't be such a big deal.

    Scare Tactic.  If the Gophers don't want to play us anymore, I don't really care.  Most overrated weekend of the year.  The Ralph is packed for every home game, we don't need them to sell tickets.  Plenty of other team we can schedule.

    Beside we are not keeping the Fighting Sioux name, so it is irrelevant.  We are selling Vintage merchandise.

     

    I think the Big Ten was in unison on that.  Football will play or has played Nebraska, MN, Iowa for $$ games.  Men's and women's basketball has played Big Ten teams too.  Plus we'd write off the chance of ever hosting a home playoff game per the NCAA. 

    I loved the Fighting Sioux name but it's gone and not coming back.

    Of course we can get better, we must. 
    I’m not sure I have read or heard that Schmidt has “endorsed” anything. I have no idea what Isaac will do, nor what he learned, nor what he will learn between now and next year if he is here. 
    All results are the ultimate responsibility of the HC. 

    I'd really like to see us hire a QB coach with experience, unless we have someone on staff that I'm not aware of.

    Are there ways to get out there from NYC without renting a car?  Not familiar with that area at all

    Looks like you can take the train and get fairly close and then taxi.  We took the Long Island RR to Stony Brook which is about an hour farther away from NYC.  Went from Penn Station and had one train change along the way but was pretty easy.

    UND adds 12th and final game to the schedule. Long Island University home and home ..

    Was hoping for a bigger name but this will do. Long Island University did beat Eastern Michigan (FBS) last season and is an up and comer …

    Addition of home and home with Long Island University

    Would be a fun trip.  Went to Stony Brook a number of years ago for the game.  Was a good excuse to see NYC and have a weekend getaway on top of the game.

    Every year when a couple good UND players enter the portal,  we all often freak out, which is probably normal. But its never really been a huge landslide of important players leaving, even under Bubba. I could be wrong, but I think most if not every year.....in the end we came out as a net positive in the portal, or at least even. I'm sure it will eventually happen where we end up in a worse spot, but thinking more times than not it will be a net positive...especially under Schmidt, and now with all of the nice facilities. 

    Some guys over the years will probably jump to FBS, it'll happen. Just dont want really good players to go to another FCS team. 

    I'd like to see some more "Hey, we're coming back" posts like we got from the OL from guys like Jerry, Lance.........

    Couple of confirmed visits starting today:

     

    It is quite telling that we are having visits and not necessarily tying them to big hockey or basketball weekends.  If we can get kids to see our facilities and meet with the staff, I think we'll win a lot of recruiting battles.

    Quite the opposite. Not good enough. Raise the standard. No more participation trophies. 

    May be true for some. Seidl, Fleming and Bluiett definitely don’t fit into that blanket statement.

    Two great young men to build around, including one from … dare I say it …. Detroit Lakes, MN…

    Cariveau's father and grandparents from EGF so the Eastsiders happily claim him too.

    Isaac Cariveau and Grant Noland both on FCS Freshman All-American team. 

    I learned at the HOF weekend that Grant Noland is grandson of Terry Noland who was D Coordinator at UND 1980-83 and then had a long successful career as HC at Central Missouri .  Their fb office complex is named for Terry.  Terry was well liked and charismatic at UND and very good coach.
