Totally agree.

Two wins in a row could be viewed as 'improvement' and reason to keep Muss around...

Right on! Wasn't a similar play from Pop Warner all over ESPN and YouTube a while back? Even those coaches were on the sidelines screaming for someone to touch te ball and down it.

As originally imposed, the four year reduction of grants-in-aid began with this season - from 25 to 15. The four year reduction in total grants-in-aid allowed was to begin next season (from 85 to 65). Yes, this is before the penalties were revised. Essentially, we're talking about the same thing - only there are two different sets of four-year periods that the NCAA imposed. http://www.ncaa.org/...2/july/21207232 With PSU players allowed to transfer with no penalty and blue-chip kids (with a couple of exceptions) not even giving PSU a look, the Nittany Lions played Minnesota with only 61 recruited scholarship players in the line-up along with 40 walk-ons. This despite the number not being officially reduced to 65 until next season. You're kidding yourself if you think that doesn't handcuff them against a full-scholarship line-up like the Gophers had. If you view Minnesota winning at home against Penn State as an upset this season, you obviously haven't been paying attention to college football over the past two seasons. Now, back on topic, UND is closer to UNC in terms of D-1 football transition even though it would prefer to think it is closer to NDSU...for those in the 'Fire Muss' camp, I'm not sure Saturday's win is good news...

I was going to say the exact same thing! Fire Muss, duck and bunny lemmings blindly supporting Hakstol, unacceptable to not win an NCAA title by now, greatest facility in the world, fans deserve better, I won't sit back and watch academics and athletics suffer at "my alma mater"...now it's hey, lighten up and have some fun, it's only a game?

1 goal win unacceptable. If UND had Dean Blais' clone behind the bench coaching against the actual Dean Blais this weekend, the Sioux would have won both nights by 10-0 scores.

I like that too, but nothing wrong with saluting fans who stick around (no pun intended) and watch a loss.

Lots of teams salute the fans after every home game, win or lose.

LOL!

Cue the scene from Tommy Boy: Frankly, son, I'm at a loss for words.

How does Blais do what, beat North Dakota one time?

On the plus side, Wilbur, your SiouxSports.com hat is keeping you warm tonight, right?

Nope. The four-year reduction in scholarships began with the 2013-2014 season.

When was the last time Penn State football played with 61 scholarship and 40 walk-on players?

"Take down" Penn State? Penn State football is a shell of its former self with everything that went down a year ago. Today's game wasn't an upset.

They wanted to mimic the football team by using actual gold flakes...and yes, that's a serious answer.

Totally agree with the bolded statement.

Sweden did its best to try to reign in Nike's dogs...they wanted to do the flag splattered on the jersey a la Finland or Russia and Sweden hockey officials said 'no way.' Unfortunately, Nike still removed the stripes around the arms and threw on the tacky rubber ship thing onto the shoulder area. The jerseys for every country are just awful.

I read your whole post...decided to quote just the first sentence. So in that instance, he's 100% certain that the ball will just roll out of bounds? I'd say that's a pretty big gamble. Protect the ball...seems like a good idea.

Well seriously...I'm not sure how much more condescending 82SiouxGuy's post could have been...

Is that RUBBER on the shoulders? What the heck? Fake lace-up collars?

"Yea, I can't believe we're wearing this crap either."
