I don't know if he is the type of kid I want in Fargo.
Why is that? No criminal record yet?

Some people seem to go overboard when NDSU loses to UND.
It's just the younger people. The older ones are used to it.

Seems like a solid move up. Good luck, Josh.
As a member of the North Dakota Champions Club, you may have had the pleasure of meeting Executive Director Josh Morton. I feel both excitement and sadness as I announce that Josh has accepted a position at Michigan State University as an Associate Director of Development for the MSU Spartan Fund.Josh has been an integral part of the UND Foundation development team, and has been especially instrumental in growing the Champions Club. He brought a new level of customer service, professionalism, and messaging to the Champions Club. Josh has also been instrumental in developing a fundraising plan for the Indoor Athletics Complex project. While Josh will truly be missed, we are very excited for the Morton family as he begins his new venture at Michigan State University. Josh’s last day with the UND Foundation will be Nov. 16.
“Josh has been an important part of helping to secure critical private support for UND Athletics," said UND Director of Athletics Brian Faison. "Under his leadership we have seen record growth in annual giving for UND Athletics, and he has played a pivotal role in the fundraising efforts for the Indoor Athletics Complex project. I would like to wish Josh and his family best of luck in their new endeavors.”
The UND Foundation, in partnership with UND Athletics, will begin an immediate search for Josh’s replacement. In the interim, please direct any Champions Club questions or related business to Katie Horob at katieh@undalumni.net, or 701.777.4078.

And they're better looking besides that fact.
To be fair, there are plenty of nice looking girls in Fargo. But including the AC's barnyard animals and cheerleaders definitely brings down the average.
-
So he apologizes and you are still going after him? Cool.
I've got no dog in the fight.
I'm just saying that his statement didn't sound consistant with someone that "would like to offer an apology".
You seem a little defensive on the subject. What's up with that?

Does this seem strange from someone who "would like to offer an apology"?
Multiple mentions of his masterful ability to control his emotions, and how professional he is.
No mention of the words "regret", "apologize", or "sorry".

For the past couple of years, I've felt that Coach Mussman's long-term future at UND would be pretty evident by the middle of this season, one way or the other.
I like the guy, but I can't say I didn't have some doubts. He started in a hole and had some obstacles during transition that were not his doing.
Considering where we were a very short time ago (Sioux Falls loss, etc.), I am very impressed with how close we may be to doing some serious damage in the Big Sky.
The next few weeks could be a blast.

Some of them might get overzealous(I am guilty too) from time to time.
I would say you're guilty most of the time, not from time to time.
But it's a harmless violation, not like an alcohol or sex crime. And, the consequences of your guilt probably weren't explained to you upfront.
Let's just sit on it until your day in court.

Since the players have already admitted their guilt I would imagine Bohl will hand down his punishment swiftly. They probably won't be playing the next couple games.
Those quotes were supposedly what they told the investigators, which was prior to this week. So Bohl would have presumably known about it.
The "swift punishment" ship has already sailed.

I'm still curious about the conspiracy aspect of it. I mean it is no coincidence that 12 of the 15 were from the same football team.
I thought the conspiracy was that the AG and SecState were UND grads persecuting these young scholars?
Given the reports, it would be hard to believe the players didn't conspire.
Would make it more interesting if it turns out they sat around and did this in the NDSU team room.

you mention fireworks. Are they having fireworks after touchdowns or what did you mean? Did they have fireworks after touchdowns last week?
They've had them in the past (pregame, touchdowns, etc.) and I'd like them to return. Anything that makes your ears ring has my vote.
I'd even give up my request for free beer to get them back.
-
The audio level was definitely too low and will be addressed for tomorrow's game. Our marketing folks also keep an eye on these discussions, so all constructive feedback is helpful.
Louder music.
Fireworks.
Blowout win.
Free beer.

It was an innocent mistake that they will be punished for.
I think that's the part that doesn't sit well. At least a DUI is an impaired decision. How long would it take to forge hundreds (thousands?) of fake names? Too long for it to be innocent.
I've made innocent mistakes in my life. Not once did the state Attorney General call a press conference.
I am going to assume you, or daddy, or a loved one has a DUI or two. Driving drunk puts lives in danger, least importantly the driver, most importantly anyone on the road.
Johnny,
As GeauxSioux pointed out, I'm not defending drunk driving in any way. My point was when you make a decide to drive drunk, it is by definition an impaired decision. Seems to me forging signatures and certifying they are authentic might be a bit more premeditated, no?
But since you asked, in my 51 years I've never had an alcohol citation. Can you say the same for yourself for say, the last 90 days?
DUI is infinitely worse than what these guys did. These guys went through a phonebook and put names down. No physical harm.
Of course there was no physical harm. That's kinda how fraud works. Bernie Madoff physically harmed no one. There are laws for a lot of things that doesn't involve people getting hurt.
No one is suggesting these people should be lined up and shot. But to imply that these players and Fargo Football, Inc. don't have a major shitstorm on their hands just makes you look silly.

What are you guys honestly looking for? You act like these guys deserve to be kicked off the team, kicked out of school, put in federal prison and never to be heard from again.

Honest question for those of you who feel you can give an objective response. If this was going on at UND would you be as vigorous about your call to action for Coach Mussman?
After I puked, absolutely. In the same situation, I would have sent Faison a “WTF” e-mail immediately after the coach’s press conference.
Bohl has earned a lot of respect from me in the past few years…but to me it looks like he’s on the edge of a slippery slope. If the other 92 players discover some people aren’t subject to the same rules, it’s going to bite him in the ass. I witnessed it happen once before.
Unfortunately, I witnessed it happening at UND.

Better than UND when you only win a title once every 100+ years
According to your knowledge of mathematics and statistics, NDSU will have another police incident in 7 more days?
Johnny, help me out with the math. They made it over 40 days without an arrest, but there were 8 of them arrested. What does this do to the average?

I cannot wait until they figure out how to offer online courses, the backpedaling will be a sight to see.
They already have online course. Just not very good at it.

OK, once again, using Blog views is a ridiculous way of determining 'fandom.
I would imagine most people went to Brad's blog when they meant to go to Kolpack's. These things happen.

For those of you that played, here's a question. When a poll comes out, and your team is ranked #6 instead of #4. Does that mean something to you? Not really. It's pre season and a lot of ranked teams have to play each other.
Now, if your team receives ZERO votes, coming off a conference championship, you think that has no meaning? Hell yes that means something to me. It means a helluvalot of voters don't think much of my team. By extension they don't think much of me, or my achievement from last year. It means I want to remedy that by shoving a football down the throat of every opponent, and voter.
Maybe I'm alone in that thinking. I don't know.
Seems like alot of polls and many of them just have rubes voting. Couldn't even tell you which ones are "legitimate".Finish up September 4-1 and the votes will be there.

Yes I have.

POLL: Should UND-NDSU Resume the Football Series?

You don't need real numbers to do the math. If you take out the benefit to the community and expectations for a certain number of home games...and just consider gross ticket sales:
As soon as you pay more than 50% of the gate to the visiting team, a home and home would be more beneficial.
