Reporting from the sidelines..... our defense cant stop a runny nose.

They need to sell beer out there.
No way - just get one of these...

I just deleted a post about Hanson getting the job back after I read:
“You’ll see two quarterbacks eventually this season,” Mussman said.I just don't know what to think about this...
-
didn't tom brady get the start because someone was hurt?
HEY!!! Quit shooting holes in my perfect analogy!!
-
OK lets be honest about this as to would they have been suspended if not for the NDSU issue? I doubt they would have been.
I think that's a fair question. To honestly answer, I'd have to say I don't know. Hak has never been scared to give out a "team rules" suspension in the past.
I'll concede, though, that in the light of the NDSU issues and all of the negative press they're getting, it made the decision a whole lot easier. Ultimately, I don't think Hak had a choice.
-
If Hansen is healthy, you play him. He's the starter.
It's like the 72 Dolphins - Bob Griese was hurt in the 5th week, and the backup came in and led the team undefeated for the next 11 games. But Griese still started (and won) the Superbowl.

Didn't quite know where to post this, but thought I'd share. Looks like good Tuesday night TV.

Nope, no citations given out, either. They didn't break the law from the sounds of it. They just did something stupid that goes against what UND Hockey stands for, and they're paying the price.
THIS IS ALL JUST A CONSPIRACY!!! UND staffers knew that we'd smoke Alaska, and it'd be an easy game to have these guys sit out. Further, there probably wasn't even a party in the first place. UND is just trying to make the NDSU administration look bad by going overboard with these suspensions, and trying to kiss up to the North Dakota general public.. Once again, the north school is keeping the south school down.

EWU better have space for 3 digits on their scoreboard...101-100.
Ugg... my old ticker can't take many more of these "no-defensive-stops" performances.
Hardin as making a case for himself. Talented kid and fun to watch, but lots of season left. I'm not ready to crown him just yet.
:cue Denny Green video:

However, I expect the haters to make a big deal about how he's not a starter.
True - But I would've been much happier with Hak letting these boys "have their day in court"......

This is not further defense of what these guys did so do not take it that way, but why is the obvious being overlooked on this? These measures would not have made it onto the ballot anyway. If they needed fraudulent names to get over the number then they didn't have the numbers they needed to get on the ballot. Nobody's right to vote is being infringed on so there is no need to sensationalize this by evoking war heroes and their memories, that lacks taste to bring up in this situation IMO.
I have to disagree with you regarding the probability of this making the ballot.
The fact is that we will never know. What we know is that forged signatures were placed to garner a number of signatures in an easy manner. What we don't know is if these individuals would've put an honest effort forward to do the work they were being paid for, a substantial number would've/ could've been documented. Their laziness and pursuit of an "easy way out" has cheated numerous groups out of money spent to drive these initiatives, and cheated the people of the state the right to be heard.
I guess if this thing makes the ballot in the next couple years, we'll know if it was or wasn't possible.
Hell - I would've signed both, but I was never approached. (perhaps my name is still on the petition, though)

Someone sent me some light reading, some homework, if you will.
Interesting document: http://fs.ncaa.org/D...e=REFERENCES_R7
Section 2.d is quite a compelling read:
That begs two questions:
- Were those lads hired because they were NDSU FB players, namely, recognizable figures due to athletic ability?
- Did they perform the work they were paid for (meaning collect signatures)?
I don't know the answers because the NCAA would be the ones who would have the answers and I can't figure those NCAA folks out.
Since we know that they HAVE been charged, I'm looking at the above rules a little closer. I'm guessing it pertains mostly to a situation where a booster of sorts "hires" an athlete in an effort to flow cash his or her way. But at the same time, I'm wondering if it would apply in this scenario.
Any speculation?
-
I am waiting for you to provide a link where they have been charged. Considering the AG link provided here says "WILL BE CHARGED". I am ready to play but it seems that you are not yet ready. I provided qoutes from the Cass County DA's office and the ND AG office that verify my statement. I am now waiting for your evidence that they have been charged. Wellllll........

Video - 48 seconds in. From someone you trust, and in plain ol' english - "...and today they've been charged."

Why is there 14 pages on this board discussing NDSU football?
Officially - It's because of the thread title and its relevence to the State of North Dakota.
Personally - I love reading about idiot bison football players and their never-ending shenanigans. Better yet is watching the SU administration getting heat for inconsistent disciplinary policy (something you have to be careful of when you have multiple unlawful episodes in the same season). A definite bonus is that it is the Fargo media outlets being the first ones to bring out the torches and pitchforks. And the frosting on the cake is that it made the NCAA website and other national media.
Perhaps others feel the same way as I - hence the 14... err... 15 pages on this thread.
Misery for the NDSU football squad brings me joy.
Pass the popcorn - this show's far from over.

Hendrickson went 5 for 6 last night with 2 TD's and including one for 44 yards... pretty darn good considering we were in "run the ball" mode for his time on the field.
I'm willing to give the guy a chance to lead this team over the next few weeks - hopefully he is up for the challenge.
I would have my doubts if they throw someone in at QB that hasn't played since HS. You're taking a big chance there - you'll be a god or a goat; no in-between.
-
Agreed - the PA was TERRIBLE. Lots of echo - could not understand half of what was being said.
-
There is a lot more interest because of the Big Sky.
I agree - Hopefully those on the fence for attending games the past few seasons are on board for a new chapter of UND football. Even though I was a regular during the transition, I find myself being more excited for the football season than I've been in a while. I'm sure many others are feeling the same way.
My Prediction?
-
Of course they should play for the nickel. It's a regular season football game between UND and NDSU - that's what happens during these games. In case many forgot... the winner hoists the nickel trophy. Losing the Sioux nickname DOES NOT lose our history and tradition... why voluntarily put a great trophy out to pasture when we've been trying so hard for this long to get the game back? Ultimately, it will be up to the schools, so who knows what'll happen. As far as making it a travelling museum piece.... umm.... no.
I suspect since NDSU doesn't really care for this game, (and neither do their fans) an NDSU victory will not lead to players rushing to hoist the trophy anyway. They are SO over us.

I hope the bison lose. But after the whippin' they put on Georgia Southern, I'm guessing they'll take home a championship.
Just another thorn in my side, and a few more knuckleheads to deal with.
-
- unlike another local coach who got out before the transition could do the same.
All this talk about Amy Ruley; and here I thought Sioux83 was talking about Dale Lennon........

If thats the case, then how do you explain the turnout for hockey?
I see your point, but we were selling out hockey games long before they were on TV... I guess they got the demand to where it needed to be. We didn't get the demand for football, IMO before we gave it away.
Not saying I'm right, but my opinion nonetheless.
-
I think watching on FSSN for free kills our attendance almost as much as the crappy schedule. Yes - the exposure is nice, but it doesn't do diddly for putting butts in the seats.
This is by far the lowest student turn-out I've seen in a long time. My son was quick to notice the "sack-city" poster was missing.
As far as season ticket holders not attending, I'd encourage you (if you haven't already) to post your available tickets on this site. A few bucks in your pocket and a Sioux fan will (most likely) get a better seat than through the ticketmaster window. If money isn't your thing, give the darn things away - but at least don't let them sit empty if you can help it.

Week 5 Already? vs Cal Poly
in Football
Posted
Been purposely avoiding the board for a couple of days - I was just a little disappointed with the loss.
Lots of info posted about the game, so I'll add a couple of pennies worth too...
