Not to let facts get in the way of your campaign, but brought them back from where? Duluth's record the three years prior to Bubba coaching were 8-3, 11-0 and 9-3. Again, not in the NCC, but they were hardly down so I'm not sure how he brought them back.

You very well could be right but pretty sure the same stuff was said before they played the Jacks and we all saw how turned out.

Even if UND wanted to, they don't have a conference invite so it is not an option.

Quite a show by NDSU tonight after a quick pick 6 by UNH. Unraveled quickly for them very quickly after that.

Is it wrong to hope so just for the reactions?

Wow. That's some good size in the defensive backfield. Guess it is needed with some of the WR's in the Big Sky. Also like that he was counted on to switch from WR to QB to help out the team. Sounds like an all around athlete.

A whole lot of conjecture in that post. UND - 79 SDSU - 71

Good to know we now have the definition of an "ass kicking". UND has 1 loss by more than they beat NDSU by. You do the math on the rest.

That is how I interpreted it as well. Likely why he is transferring now instead of the end of the season, only costs him half a season instead of a full one.

Not technically in the 2013-2014 class, but Carson Shanks, 7-0 C originally from Apple Valley, MN who was red-shirting at Utah State has left their program. He is looking at transferring closer to home. We had an offer out to him in high school.

Thanks for your valued input. 95-77.

Not sure if you are specifically referencing me as one of those people, but here is my answer: I'm not hating on Bubba, I think he is a great finalist candidate, wouldn't be surprised if he got the job and would support him 100%. I'm just trying to figure out where people are coming from when they say he is head and shoulders above DeBoer? They keep referencing that his players won a title at Duluth after he left and that he didn't do as well with his players because he played in a tougher conference. Both valid poitns, but I think I am more impressed with how well he did as a DC at UND than anything he did at Duluth outside of the head coaching experience he got. I do think Bubba would bring in a stronger staff and would be more long term. Just curious, I keep seeing people say that UND is Bubba's dream job, yet the only place I can find reference to that is here. Is that something that he has actually said to people or just what people are assuming? I really don't know.

Not sure where I said they had. You asked what the opinion of UND being better than the Jacks was. I was pointing out that UND light up what is predicted to be the top team in the Summit. And in Brookings (where SDSU is very good), they lost to what is predicted to be a team equal with UND. UND historically plays very well at home and despite that, I said if they played like they did on the road the last few weeks SDSU would win. What is your reasoning that SDSU is better than UND since you seem to be surprised that people (on a UND fan board) think UND is the better team in a game being played in Grand Forks?

No problem, can see where that was confusing and I clarified it in the original post.

I wasn't talking about what Shaugs said, I was referring to gfhockey's tweet to Golladay. I agree with you and have absolutely zero issue with Shaugs' tweet.

Still doesn't make it right for a fan to tweet at college kid calling him out. Just saying...

Irrelevant. God hates Cleveland.

I will clarify that I was talking about his overall record which was 22-21, average. And it was in his second correct? So for the most parts, not his recruits? And again, I think he would be a very good choice but saying his recruits won a title after he left and he didn't do better as a head coach because he played in a tougher league isn't the most convincing argument.

So Bubba was an average (literally) coach in a tough league but his recruits dominated a lesser league. Got it. Good thing UND got into Pioneer League...

That's a fair point. Bubba brought in talent that dominated the NSIC after he left. He was still 4-6 his last year and was 22-21 overall. Despite that, I still think he would be a great hire, but cherry picking facts isn't the way to convey that.

UND boat raced the top Summit team in Grand Forks. Montana beat the Jacks in Brookings. That being said, SDSU has looked like they are figuring it out and if UND plays like they have been on the road, the Jacks will win.

So Bubba couldn't coach the talent he brought in? They were 4-6 his last year with basically a team full of his players. They improved to 15-0 the year after he left. Your hyperbole really hurts the legitimate points you occasionally have.

Oddly enough, I was having very similar thoughts earlier this week. Only other schools that use it are Elon and UW-GB.

Off-chance in our lifetime? Hope that was said sarcastically. At minimum the top 2 if not 3 and some years 4 teams from the Big Sky make the playoffs.

You also have to think that both guys have some eyes on and contact with some guys that they are or wanted to recruit that they would be able to get. Not like they haven't been on the recruiting trail.
