Hak has been at UND for 11 seasons, 279 wins, a .652 winning percentage, 2 conference regular season titles, 4 tournament titles, 1 NCAA title game appearance but....10 NCAA appearances (11 after this year) and 6 frozen fours, multiple signature wins, lots of OOC road wins. His worst season he went 10 games over .500 and he reached the NCAA title game that year (his first season). Now I ask you how can you hate Hak? He at least have given UND a shot at a NC in hockey. Will Jones give UND a shot at the dance or even win a game in the dance ( I know Bison reference)? And about Jones improving, not including this year UND went from 17-14 in the last season of the GWC to 16-17 in the BSC to a whopping.....17-17 last year. A one game improvement?!?

Montana 8-2 UND 7-3 Sac St 7-3 ISU 6-4 EWU 5-4 NAU 5-4 SUU 4-5 MSU 4-6 ----------------- UNC 4-6 WSU 4-6 Idaho 3-6 PSU 1-9

Sac State 9-1 EWU 8-1 Montana 7-3 NAU 6-3 UNC 6-4 PSU 5-5 Idaho 4-5 WSU 4-6 ---------------- UND 4-6 SUU 2-7 ISU 2-8 MSU 1-9

Is that rule legal in college?

Oh sorry lets go back how Tom Izzo is equal to Brian Jones.

They could.

Your first paragraph sounds a little Bisonville, check your colors before entering the REA.

Jones has the same facilities as Roebuck/Brewster does and they went to the dance and NCC titles while Jones has those CIT appearances. #buttCIT

So Hak going to another Frozen four, Brewster going to the dance, Hardee going to the top of the BSC is all because of coaching while Jones and Muss struggled because of the nickname issue?

More like after this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_North_Dakota_athletics#Retirement_of_.22Fighting_Sioux.22 USD joined the SL in April 2009, you don't think UND would've joined with USD if the bolded part was allowed to happen without no stupid state law (which didn't happen until 2011).

I think Faison showcases more than just hockey. He got more money for football coaches not to mention new video boards and turf in the Alerus, he got UND into the Big Sky conference and he helped get funding on that big building to the east of Memorial Stadium. He has done a lot not to mention going through the nickname issue that the hockey only crowd keeps throwing that around instead of picking one and moving on. I think overall he has done a good job. Isn't Jones the only head coach leftover from DII?

"UND became a member of the SL before the BSC called them up for full membership. " I meant USD in my second to last sentence.

http://www.wday.com/content/summit-official-says-und-pushed-early-nickname-resolution-ad-faison-responds My point was if it wasn't for the nickname we would have been SL members not BSC members, so that nickname issue isn't really an excuse on Jones' mediocre teams. But Douple messed it up when he wanted the nickname issue a done deal before the 11-30-10 deadline and that is where it was a blessing because UND got a chance at full membership in the BSC.

With Miles and Phillips NDSU turned out great teams from beating Wisconsin to going to the dance right away to beating Oklahoma in the dance last year, and look where those two ended up in Nebraska and Ohio. Jones would be lucky if Crookston hired him.

Bubba had to pull a redshirt off his 4th string QB because the first 2 went down with injury and guess what he won with him. That's where your bench needs to step up if someone gets hurt, and a lot of that is coaching. If you don't have a productive bench you don't have much of a team.

Speaking of USD someone mentioned UND's struggles on transition and nickname, if it wasn't for the nickname UND would've entered the SL along side USD even before the BSC was calling for UND and USD to be members. USD became a member of the SL before the BSC called them up for full membership. So cross off nickname as an excuse on Jones' mediocre teams.

Like NDSU, and SDSU.

True I mean Jones is losing to teams like Omaha, SDSU and NDSU while Glas lost to teams like..oh wait never mind.

Shouldn't the goal last year was win the BSC, and go dancing not get beat by a DI transfer team in the CIT. Isn't everyone tired of the excuses? Transistion, injuries, nickname. It got old watching the football team destruct year after year until Bubba came now everyone is excited for game 1, I can't say too many people were that excited for game 1 of another Jones season.

Yep it's like talking to a wall. Have to learn to stop and walk away. Keep Jones!! CIT or bust!!!

Jets should deal Kane, even though he is a good player, his distraction off the ice could hurt the team in the long run.

Nice win.

Tom Izzo, NCAA Championship (2000), 6 Final Fours, 7 Big 10 Championships, 4 Big 10 Tournament Championships, 2 NCAA Championship appearances, 8 Elite Eights, 12 Sweet 16 appearances, Head coach record 477-192 .713. Brian Jones, 1 NCC runner up (07-08), 4 CIT appearances, 126-143 record .468 Signature win vs NDSU Yep thats pretty much the same.

Troll? He made a point and you call him a troll. How about this point, the Big Sky as a whole was down so of course UND had the third most wins, if you look at the % it was at .500 overall (17-17) and he was 12-8 tied with Montana, and NAU, Omaha had a better record than UND last season and not only did they crush UND in the CIT but they are in transition. You may be in love with Jones but some of us aren't.
