I agree...

Happens often...

Not confused one bit and we will disagree on this...the University of Alabama, and lots of schools, are full of students that came to that school for one reason and one reason only and it isn't due to the Med school dean. That's the real world.

Rocco pots at least 1...3-1 Sioux

Easy...I owe you money!!

Give me your odds of winning any FB game if you pound the ball for 425 on the ground?

And Saban just signed an extention on a contract that already paid him $5.6M per. But in a duckies and bunnies world of some the chair of the department of Southern Culture is a bigger deal than a FB coach. Not saying that's fair but...

On serious note...alcohol was involved with VD/taxi situation. 3rd alcohol related event in 1 1/2 years. Heard last night from someone in the AD Hak told Chyzyk get help/rehab or leave.

And at Alabama but it is what it is...called reality.

Just curious and hypothetical... if UND and SU had played this year how bad of a beatdown would it have been? I say 45 point margin.

I guess when I'm watching NDSU on it's way to another semifinal game and see how far this FB program has sunk to and the fact other than hockey it's a huge revenue (potential) generator for the AD and now in the eyes of way too many this process is just another ring added to the circus known as UND FB and... You need me to continue? And BTW not every position at UND carries the same weight. Right or wrong the FB coach is a big deal.

I call this the Berry factor...

Faison is the AD of a D1 university...the buck stops with him period. As to the worldwide hiring procees of big companies, "similar" is a big big stretch IMO. My middle brother, a UND undergraduate, is a CFO of one of the bigger nonprofits in the nation and has worked for a 500 and having visited w him these companies have policies but they get their "guy" in a timely fashion regardless of process/policy. The "real" world doesn't operate like a government "agency" like UND.

BTW...my "source" said "zero" chance new FB coach hired by years end. Said not a bigger cluster **** at UND than the HR dept...and payroll. Absolutely ridiculous...

He is an upper Midwest guy growing up in WI.

If that is the case this "process" is a disaster. Faison is the frickin' AD...he trumps the wizards in the HR dept. On face value he should be able to recognize Pflu is 1 of the top 3 candidates. Total joke IMO.

On Pflu it that's the case I don't feel Faison did his due diligence... he just took the easy way out. No way Pflu was not a top 9 guy especially with the f-d up "points" system they are using! No way Bubba is a better candidate than Pflu...

Agree w Siouxman and Wilbur's post game thoughts and I'll add a couple... Thompson is the real deal...get him some weight and a couple years older and wow! His passing out of D zone best of any Dmen. Drake starting to play more aggressively. No doubt his fall awhile back caused more cautious play. Tambo and Murphy either have to do something...anything productive or they have to sit. Big if...but if Chyzyk can play again and you put him on a wing w Panz and Colton you will have 2 lines no team will want to play against. Parks played his best game of the season. Know this has been mentioned but Luke's goal was right in front of us. Vintage Duncan. He had maybe a 6-8" window to snipe that one.

Talked to my "source" from within the athletic dept. last night at hockey game...as of now he "feels" it is Bubba's job. Pflu not the guy. And app requirements were taylored for Tibs who wants to stay an NFL coach. It was Tibs job from the start if he wanted it. But my guy probably knows as much as gfhockey's guys but that what I got last night.

Was gonna leave to head to game in 15 minutes... maybe I should just stay home! Good news is I read they struggle even more offensively than UND does.

Good to see Colton back. Tambo needs to step up. Thompson in lineup again...nice. Didn't WMU supposedly have a top flight goalie too? And didn't he get pulled??

OD and Chyzyk are out. Some reports are another player hurt late this week and out as well...depending on who it is it could be tough to overcome. That said 4-2 UND

To say Faison "knows what he is doing" at this point is a stretch. If he hits a home run hire...if he doesn't... I'm not enthralled with the process to date but it is what it is.

So that hats for the first order weren't $63.99 each?

Tom Miller tweeted to this affect...the UND HR dept., yes folks, the HR dept. has widdled the list to 9 based on it's "points" system. Is Faison at Tim Horton's all day or what?
