I talked with a few parents of UND players a couple of years ago and they said similar things about NDSU. They told me that the SU coaches talked crap about UND during recruiting and the things they told their kids were not true. They also said their kids spent a fair amount of time when new recruits came to visit trying to straighten out the lies they had been told by SU coaches.
I guess it all depends on whose ox is being gored.
