So which 1980's QB would you get rid of in an era where the QB wasn't as important as it is today? Bradshaw? Plunkett? Montana? Theismann? McMahon? Simms? Williams? I think QB in the 1980's was just as important as today, but that's just my opinion.
-
...So how do you explain QB's like Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer wearing Super Bowl rings?
-
I agree on the durability and personal issues but disagree in terms of 'franchise' QB. Like it or not, from about 1979 thru the late 1980's, Tommy was the face of the Vikings. First QB to throw for 450 yards in a game (and he did it TWICE), 6 TD's thrown in a game, and highest-rated QB of 1986. QB's weren't important in the 1980's? How good was Green Bay in those years?

Nice to see Ottawa welcom home Daniel Afredsson last night...nice to see fans appreciate his years of dedication to the Senators. As an added bonus, I knew Goon would want to see the video link to the tribute the Ottawa organization paid to the former captain and face of the Senators franchise... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/wings/2013/12/01/daniel-alfredsson-ottawa-senators-detroit-red-wings/3799759/

Yes they will. Whooda thunk that the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons would be in the mix for the NFL's worst record this season?
-
That Tommy Kramer guy threw for almost 25,000 yards and 159 touchdowns with the Vikings. Granted, he also tossed 157 interceptions, but still...I don't know if I would say 'hasn't been settled since Tarkenton retired.'

You kicked Tony Hrkac out of your seats? Nice. "Hey, jerkweed, would you mind getting your butt out of that seat? It belongs to me. Oh, Mr. Hrkac, can I have your autograph? I'm a big fan!"
-
And on that, we agree.
-
So if Hak called out his players and cited their lack of maturity and toughness, this thread would dry up and it would be ok? I doubt it.
-
The 'tradition' comment was in regards to Notre Dame FOOTBALL, not hockey.
-
That is complete and total speculation.
-
Did I say that UMD and UND have the 'same' tradition? I did not. So, on one hand, UND has the Ralph, which is a huge recruiting tool. On the other hand, UMD has a shiny new $80 million arena, which doesn't do the Bulldogs any good. Huh?
-
Yes, Notre Dame was in the title game last year...thanks to a bogus call in the Pitt game, another one vs Stanford, and the too-good-to-be-true story of their linebacker. That's it.
-
One bunch of five star recruits wins an NCAA title...the next bunch loses in the 1st round of the NIT. What's your point, that John Calipari apparently lost his coaching mind in one season?
-
So if I still support Hakstol, despite wanting some tweaks made, I am automatically labeled as 'happy' with the season? Talk about dealing in absolutes...
-
How has history and tradition worked out for Notre Dame football since about 1988? Yale hockey has a history of pride and tradition. A lack of titles doesn't make those meaningless.
-
December 2010: $80 million Amsoil Arena opens. March 2011: UMD wins NCAA title. Two years later, Bulldogs slog thru a 14-19-5 season.

I disagree. It's an entire system at UND that values developing pro hockey players over NCAA success. Minnesota had the same problem last year. Hard to focus on winning an NCAA tournament game when 5-6 guys are more worried about when pen to use when signing their pro contract five minutes after their season ends.
-
To the Sandelin supporters, do you think he would have lasted 11 seasons in Grand Forks with his record? He would have been run out of town no later than year 8.
-
Matt Henderson...Jeff Panzer...David Hoogsteen...Brad DeFauw...Peter Armbrust...the only way players like that would get a look at REA today if they were 16 year old kids would be if they paid $5 and went on the tour.
-
That he's only busy trying to recruit NHL-caliber talent? Take a look at the media guide and REA itself. The showcase is being an NHL'er...that's not all on Hakstol.
-
How did Team USA manage to win the 1980 gold medal with that Eruzione slug and an NHL back-up goalie on the team? Throwing 14 NHL draft picks into the line-up is no sure-thing. How did Kentucky's vaunted freshman do last year in hoops? That's right...first-round tournament loss. Not in the NCAA's...the NIT.
-
Yes, yes, yes, because recruiting NHL potential for tomorrow is a sure-fire guarantee of NCAA tournament success today. Just ask Yale.
-
What's the solution? A cyanide tablet in each coach's pocket to be swallowed immediately after an NCAA tournament loss and a fresh-start the next season?
-
St Lawrence had two Hobey Baker candidates last year too. How'd that translate into post-season success for the Saints? Last year's 'alarming' Sioux season was about 4 minutes short of a Frozen Four appearance before it all went to heck.
