Why? At least he is getting GFC to the title game. I think making GFC a contender year after year deserves an extension not a dismissal.

DaveK was right that's why they play the game. GFC won it on paper, Minot won it on the ice. Maybe with more western teams winning a state title the exposure to the sport out west will grow.

Good game. Congrats to Minot!! I hope to see GFC back in the title game next year.

Ban kingranch....too soon.

Applying for his old job back?

GFC for another state leading title!!!

Winning is good, beating a PAC 12 team even better. Great job!!

Fixed it for ya!!

Gee .500 that describes Jones perfectly.

I hope you are right. It's not good that Bubba had almost the same amount of DI wins as Jones.

I saw that and was hoping for a vid. It's cool to see that.

good point.

Why is that?

simple answer no it isn't Mrs. jdub

6'7" WR?!? Damn throw it up and let him go get it. I see Braeden Hanson and think of the former UND QB of 2012.

Yes I haven't attended a UND basketball game since the last UND/NDSU game in the Fargodome. I would like to come up to GF for a game, but things have seemed to always come up, my son had a basketball game every Saturday morning, and practice Thursday night, and a little thing called $$$. I do watch UND sports on tv, and on the watchBig Sky app on my phone. So I would think I am connected with UND sports even though my butt isn't in a seat. As my kids get older, and my bank account is getting more healthy I hope to attend more games. I went to two hockey games for the first time in years, and I went to 2 football games (one was a last minute trip driving with no sleep). If I offended Phil I apologize, but doesn't it seem like how a huge "celebrity" couldn't find an off night, an all star weekend, to make an appearance at a UND game. Something like that could bump attendance a little, and a little more media exposure doesn't hurt either.

There is a 2015 baseball thread.

But people here think he needs more time. I guess 9 years isn't enough.

I just think it's odd how a major figure in MBB like Phil Jackson is so disconnected with UND except to give his 2 cents on the nickname. Jim Kleinsasser does more for his roots (UND, Carrington) than Phil Jackson. Maybe Phil knows some people that could replace Jones.

I do try to attend games it's not like I never get up to Grand Forks, and the only thing I heard about Jackson that the media bit on was the nickname issue.

If Jackson had 3 small kids and worked a per hour job on the weekends I am sure he couldn't find much time outside NYC for his teams road games.

Other alumns do find their way back to GF.

I am shocked how a "famous" alum really does nothing for UND. I don't see him with UND basketball at all, or even attend a game. I think the press would be shocked to learn he is from UND. The only connection I remember him being associated with UND is him saying UND should drop the Sioux name.

But they had men's/ women's doubleheaders and the Hyslop had great crowds, of course hockey was in a championship drought through most of the early to mid 90's when men's basketball was really good. I think hockey is just an excuse. It's not like it's far to walk to get to either place.

Too bad I didn't get to post on that thread as I didn't join until a year later. Maybe Glas can come back. At least he took UND up to the Elite Eight where Jones did nothing in DII and has done very little in DI.
