the green team

And Albatross

I say this tongue in cheek, but I would love to see even just a portion of the 80 million things, LIST.

Really? did UND get an extra 5 million as well when it was going through it? if they did get an additional 5 million to help, and UND did not, I guess that goes a long way in my thinking of whether or not the state legislature has a favorite. That’s tough to hear. If I recall about 8-10 years ago state institution(s) were given the opportunity to raise money with a match from the state. I’m a bit hazy on this as I’m getting older, but at the time the state put up the parameters that was not to be used towards athletics. I believe 2 schools did not adhere to that, one was NDSU, the other Dickinson State…. I’m not sure anything came of that either, I know DSU has had a ton of issues beyond that. I believe if it had been UND doing it that way, things would have been on DEFCON with media coverage and various outrage. When it comes to similar situations, it seems one school gets the benefit of the doubt far more often. I realize that with the Med School, Law, Aviation, Business etc, UND has been incredibly fortunate with what it has received from the state, however it seems it certain instances that UND either gets slightly different treatment(perceived or actual) than it’s neighbor to the south.

Here we are in May, and I have heard little to none about the budget challenges that had been facing NDSU. I’ve heard barely a peep. In fact, their equestrian team that was on the chopping block made nationals. For all the “dark days are ahead” talk or thoughts. It doesn’t seem to have gone that way, at least you hear very little about anything too serious. Comparatively, when UND was going through it, there were stories daily, sometimes more than one… rampant speculation from supporters, haters of all sorts, and yet in my observation, this situation it would seem has been little more than a speed bump for NDSU. It’s interesting to see how different a feel of a budget cut situation has been from one place to the other. Maybe I’ve missed some of it, but it sure feels far different than when UND had to go through things.

I look at this differently. I think this promotes that the idea of capitalism is well and good. We may or may not be in the careers, where we able to take a job where we end up making more than our current boss. This example demonstrates that. I think Coach Hastings is a very good coach. I’m sure those in Mankato will rightfully miss him, but he left the program in a good place and his legacy there will always be part of the foundation of the programs bedrock.

The fact that it deals with us is frustrating, but I feel that it’s probably standard operating procedure in the current climate of Men’s hoops

This is a question I had as well. I know it was mainly special teams so far, but I’m hoping he takes a step

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article273303895.html This is unfortunate. I genuinely feel bad for him and I hope he’s able to seek some assistance. I think there has been evidence that he hasn’t been a good place for a long time now, and I hope that he is able to find something to steady things

I guess it’s just like anything. It depends on the sample. A lot of people who are in favor of this, will probably say very little, while those who are not will make the most noise. But that is the always the case everywhere you go with these

Why does anyone worry about Moore, Johnson or Constantini. These guys are not good enough. Certainly a whole season is clear evidence of that. 1 in particular obviously is not any good even in practice that he can’t make the line up. I am more than fine with it. We need to make some room on this roster for some different players that can make a difference. I don’t care if theiy’ve been drafted or highly recruited. People who get drafted or highly ranked recruits end up flopping all the time, all over the country at college and the pro level. I am not in least worried about any one leaving for the portal. Not one bit.

Where is that Johnny Grove going? That is an unbelievable play in front of the net. Thats the kind of goal scoring we could use in and around the net

Forget it, he’s rolling.

Chris Beard available?

In thinking about these tournaments that sit behind the NCAA and even the WNIT. I think a great deal about the 2013-14 Men’s team. They were a vteran team that expended absolutely everything trying to win that Big Sky Title at Weber St. The veterans of Huff, Anderson and Webb had done everything asked. Webb got injured, Schuler was injured etc…when the chance to do the CIT came at Omaha, it was a UND team that was physically spent and emotionally spent. I remember visiting with the coaches at an event that summer, and they admitted that that Omaha CIT game was maybe just too much. The coaches said that the guys mouths said yes that they would play, and the coaches so much liked coaching that group that they wanted another game with them, but they acknowledged that looking back it, the guys had spent everything, and it was so apparent in the loss against the Mavericks, that already everything had been given. What I’m getiting at, although every team is different, sometimes its ok to be done too. If the Women get a chance to play, I’m all for it, but its not the end of the world if they don’t play in the WBI. I think of the way this season has ended the last 2 weeks and think with a fairly veteran group, maybe everything has already been given. If that’s the case I thank them for moving this program forward.

Huh? Ifn’t the WzI held in Lethington tis year?

Yes both he and Armacost are here.

Your one trick pony show of criticizing anything this program does is pre-determined and is a complete deflection. I’m sure getting it out, made you you feel awesome today tho. I love todays world where people look to for their next fix to be triggered into negativity. It’s nearly a better fix than heroin. It’s what we live for. Goodness, what happens if this defense gets better and we get to 8 or 9 regular season wins, and make an FCS run, that would be crummy. All I can say is.. Good Luck Joel! I want you to succeed, and I think you can! I think you’re a good coach and ready for this opportunity.

Radio said Brooks was working his way back from minor lower body the last couple of weeks

I’m not sure I understand the question. From my view the last several games show that everyone that has been on the floor need to desperately be better defensively. Defense to me is a team thing, the individual part of it is that they have to want to do it. Over and over again. Not fall asleep on a possession, cause when that happens the whole defense fails. Opponents will sometimes make shots they have good players, but don’t let another team have too many easy ones. I thought the first meeting with USD, UND did a great job down on the block on the Yote big, he made a difference late hitting a 3, but sometimes players make 3. Today UND will have to do a great job on him on the block to start because UND won’t be able to help because of their talented guards

Start or come off the bench what does it matter? The question typically is are you effective? He has been more than in this role. From what I’ve seen this year Norman has been far more effective when he has come off the bench than when he has started. Just my observation. Again if they start him, that’s fine…but whether Norman starts or comes off the bench is so not even close to the issues that have plagued this team… unless you are the player or the parent. Typically, that’s where that type of concern comes from. But since I don’t know him or his parents so I can’t say either way. I would say on my list of issues facing Men’s Basketball this season, whether or not Norman starting falls somewhere in the high 600’s Currently over the last several games, number 1, is the team finding more defensive stops. It starts there for me. Can they do it? Do they want to do it? I guess we’ll find out today and the next 7 games after today

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-hawk-talk-100915705/episode/coach-bubba-schweigert-122222-signing-day-106322783/ Listened to this, this morning. Nothing groundbreaking, but some information regarding the signing day class.

From what I understand, our communications staff is down to 2 people in that role as the person who was the WBB communications rep left right before the WBB season started. I saw the job posted, I’m not sure… it may have closed. Now you have 2 people with an FCS playoff game to handle, yes they do have hockey, but they had VB on Thursday and home MBB this weekend, and an event today even though it doesn’t involve any of our teams. I’m sure it’s not been an easy weekend for those two. I guess I’m just too understanding, I’ll at least cut them some slack.

When non-conference scheduling in college football is scheduled 5-7 years out or more, how can anyone predict how to effectively schedule teams to aid your strength of schedule?

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-hawk-talk-100915705/ huh? funny that is not at all what he said this morning. where did you get that information? he’s said he is going to tonights hockey game and wIll be back tomorrow for football, he also did the same 2 weeks ago. Care to revise?

I’m sure it’s a lot easier on the budget to pay a North Central Presentation (insert here). As opposed to a Northern Sun team. Just like if Kentucky brings in a Mountain West team- that MWC team would probably demand more than UND could. Or even if Kentucky wanted to bring in a DII that Dll may not be able to get as much as UND could. Also, because the NSIC has so many teams don’t start playing conference games by mid Nov.? They too want to have some non-conf games against the Presentation(s) and Crown Colleges of the world before fully diving in… so it might even be a little schedule related when it comes down to it.
