Than why did he ask for it to begin with? He was given what he wanted, now he won't acknowledge it. I think an explanation is warranted when you go out in the media saying there is only one deal you will take and when that deal is presented to you, you go silent on it.

Faison offered GT exactly what he asked for. A one time home/home starting in Fargo with a year in between games. He hasn't accepted. GT is what is holding up this game resuming.

I think the issue a lot of people have is that when Faison wanted an every year game, GT stated that he wanted to start with a one time home/home contract with a year between games and the first game in Fargo and then see how it goes from there. Recently Faison said that would be fine and indicated that he would send the contract over to GT. Since then, not a peep from GT despite Faison giving him exactly what he wanted. And he hasn't offered up any explanation for why he got what he wanted but yet still won't agree to it.

What he fails to mention is how much of it is court mandated... In reality, there are a lot of the athletes from both schools (and elsewhere too) that do a lot of good in the community through volunteering and mentoring and don't ask for or want any recognition for it.

Can apply, yes. Granted, less likely. Redical medshirts are looked at a lot more closely and it usually has to be a season ending injury very early in the year. With how the coaches have been talking and Hansen back at practice, not sure if the NCAA would grant one.

UND is so paranoid about NDSU, they suspend players for no other reason than to show that they have the moral high ground. Am I interpreting your nonsense correctly? Keep spinning your theories and hoping for the worst Dan, seems to be all you have. They skipped the exhibition games and suspended them for the first regular season game. Not sure what more you want? I guess a game 3 months down the road would make more sense to you. The AD left this open for the possibility of more punishment depending on what investigations turn up. GT probably should have been taking notes instead of claiming his players were victims. Didn't your current starting running back get suspended for a whole year a few years ago but there were never any charges? I guess he's made up for those lack of charges since (see title of this thread among other things, he has a couple court dates coming up), but it was strange how the story on that never quite made it all the way out...

So what your saying is GT no longer wants the one time home/home contract that he asked for? The one Faison said he'd send over for review? I mean it is the only deal that GT said he would accept, why would he change his tune now? Color me suprised...

An added benefit is that we don't have to hear "anyone, anywhere" from the NDSU faithful any more. Thanks GT!

Not sure of the logistics due to concession contracts, but something similar is already done at the Ralph for exhibtion games and has been for at least a couple of years. This year they are doing it for the Manitoba game.

Minot State, North Dakota State, Dickinson State and Valley City State all have plates available, along with a handful other special interest groups.

I think since he has started, his actions have been pretty consistent in doing the right thing whether it has been popular or not.

Who are posting on the board of the not relevant team...

I don't think there is a controversy. Hansen throws the ball at a different level and should be the starter. Hendrickson has been impressive and exceeded all expectations, but he's not as accurate (64% against PSU and 54% against SDSU). That being said, I think Hendrickson gets more plays than your average backup due to his athleticism, it adds a dimension that I'm not sure Hansen has.

After thinking about last night's game, I thought of the following: -The 3rd string QB coming out of spring practice started and played the entire game. -The offensive line was missing one of its best players (and it has had a noticeable impact on the running game). -The defense was missing its top corner, winner of a couple awards last season (and the pass defense is definitely showing the impact). Despite those key losses, UND had the ball with a chance to tie it at the end of the game. And didn't. But I like the comments from the team that it wasn't enough, they weren't happy with almost. The coaching staff feels the same way. I know the fans do. The win will come against an FBS team, but it will have to wait until 2014 or 2015 (San Jose State and Wyoming). Time to focus on what is more important: the conference season. 2-1 was what most people expected to be 3 weeks into the season and that was before Hansen went down. Now it is time to see what this team can do. If the defense can figure it out and play like they can (that includes improvement in both tackling by the players and schemes by the coaches), this team can make some noise. Teams have no choice but to respect the passing game, and that should help open up the run game. Time for UND to introduce itself to the Big Sky.

I believe you still can. Why do you think they are selling it for $200? $50 profit!

So many fixable and avoidable problems...very, very frustrating.

Play under review...could be close...

Let's go!!!!!

The UStream is back up for those who were watching that.

A pick there would have been huge! Defense needs a stop, its been a while.

Well that didn't take long. Sounds like the tackling problems from last week haven't been corrected.

I will be extremely disappointed if the field goal team is on the field after this timeout. Hendrickson or Sutton should be able to bowl ahead for 1 yard.

Using this stream at the moment. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/billyklubbin#utm_campaign=aztecmesa.proboards.com&utm_source=12070331&utm_medium=social Not as good as KUSI's was but not bad.

Just lost my KUSI stream.

Hopefully Mannausau has a better plan for the second half. Glad to see NDSU fans show up on their bye week to add something productive to the conversation.
