    I think it needs to be cleared up that at least one of the players "he took" transferred because UND did not have the major he wanted. There is life after football 

    Not 100% sure that's true.  I got to know his family a bit during his time at UND and didn't hear any rumblings of that.  They were fully on board with him and UND football.  It sounded like he was also considering coming back for last season which doesn't make sense if it was for a different major.  I do think it had more to do with the old OL coach leaving vs. Danny but he did follow Danny.

  2. In my opinion a number of things about Danny leaving and his return are true at the same time.

    • The fact that he left wasn't a huge deal to me but where he went and the position he left for says a lot.  Danny 'bleeds green' but left for a lower position at a rival school and took a player or two with him.  Looked to me like he was pouting cuz Bubba wasn't retiring fast enough.
    • His offense at Wash St didn't have a great year and he wasn't offered to move with HC to Iowa St.
    • He will be an improvement over our last OC.

    A little bar dust up just before 2:00 am, just an average weekend in the 90's.  Sounds like a JYD.  It's not drug related or involve the opposite sex.  I have no problem with it.

    Sounds like the Antique or the Spud in the 80's.  We almost had an all out brawl between guys from the football and hockey teams one night at the Antique.  Fortunately if blew over.

    He was pass game coordinator so yes he did call plays at SDSU. Get your facts straight.

    not looking to be snarky but I'd assume that OC has final say on play calling. 

    The passing game coordinator generally develops the passing game routes, passing game plan, etc. and provides input but doesn't call plays.

    Reading online, that seems like the normal setup.  Maybe they had a different arrangement

    Tie game with 5 minutes to go!

    wasn't able to watch earlier.  Announcers said ISU defensive changes turned the game.  Do you know what they are doing differently?

    I don’t know for sure but I believe she’s referring to watching the gopher games on the couch and now in the stands. 

    He posted pics with his kids during the season so guessing you are right and they lived in GF.

    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.
