There was another post player from Fargo North - I don't remember when he graduated. Harris was a good shooter.

Thanks UND. I was trying to remember more of the names of the 1979 - 1982 teams. Steve Brekke was in there. Clausen was an animal. There was a slightly chubby guard.

How many scholarships are available after all this?

Remember Clausen? Wasn't there a post from Turkey also - can't remember the name. I was at UND late 70's early 80's. Had some great teams - rarely lost at home and won road games regularly also.

New coach will have regain respect and trust of the existing and recruited players. Will have to recruit assistant coaches. Develop a recruiting plan - you can't recruit everywhere. Install discipline - sometimes you need to take two steps back to go forward one step. New coach will need to get the fans back (by winning). Lots of stuff to do. Fans and players will need to be patient. I don't know but it appears Muss lost control of all of this. Lost respect, didn't have quality assistants (proof is that none were offered new coaching job), didn't have a recruiting plan, lost discipline (players see this - just want to be treated fair and the same) lost fans due to terrible performance of team.

SDSU looked good. Moved the ball around and found the open player. They were more physical than us. I am looking for a reason to be optimistic going forward. Are we a 500 team or 800 team?

What and in what order are the first five things a new coach needs to do at UND?

Congrats to NDSU.

I am with you

Interesting. You would know. I have talked to him a few times and thought he was very personable. I don't know who would be better. Done is good!!

I don't look badly at a player who transfers. Just shows how ugly things were. It does reflect a little on how they thought the team would do. I can see some players asking themselves why deal with the mess as it sits now if they have better options? In a way, it will make next year more enjoyable without all the high expectations. Just watch games and see if we can knock a few favorites off. We will eventually get to where we should be.

I just want this program to bottom out so it can start improving. Once a coach is hired is the program at a low point or does it go lower? How much more pain must we go through?

Why did Muss fail?

Fresh start as in all new coaches without ties to UND? New players? 4-5 year plan? Recruit new areas? Start with 3 wins in yr 1 and end with 10 wins in year 5? Older players sit as younger players mature?

What do some have against Coach Schweigert? Is this a case of to be an expert you have to come from someplace else? Are folks here evaluating his coaching abilities or are they dismissing him mainly because he is from here?

I know it is short sighted but I have trouble thinking about moving up a level in football. We have so far to go. The program is in such bad shape. How long till it can be turned around? How wrong am I?

This is the year. I agree. Not very optimistic right now though. You never know what team will show up.

This

Not a lot of turnovers. Both teams shot well. First time I saw UND play this year. UND played like I thought they would. su played much better than I thought they would. We did miss quite a few bunnies? Gave up too many points. Hope for no more injuries

88-83 We were down by about 6 or 7 with minutes left.

Good game. Glad we won. Both teams are much better than last year.

Notre Dame leading Indiana late

I agree with your comment. Pretty neat to go into Notre Dame and beat them. Hard place to play. If UND would beat almost anybody on the road I would be excited.. Congrats to su!

I have only been in there twice. Any chance/place for additional temporary seating? I don't recall any. I would go even if UND didn't make it. For fun!

I am looking forward to this game. Any estimate on crowd size? Shouldn't be too many su fans there with the fb game just getting over by bb game time. su is playing better but we should win. Haven't been to a women's game at the Betty. Is most of the seating general admission? Beer?
