Heard many stories from some of my coaches about playing amateur ball with him after he disappeared on the Chicago Bulls. When they would play in Fargo they would call the Jamestown Mental Hospital and get him out for the weekend. When they would get about 6-7 miles out of Fargo they would let him out and he would run the rest of the way and meet them at whatever Gym they were playing at. Ekalaka, Montana used to have a big money tournament in the summer which drew amatuers and pros in the summer time since pros didn't make as much money back then and they talked about the time he dropped 37 on Michael Ray Richardson who was one of the best defenders in the NBA.

Ha. I was 21 years old and he was I suppose 37 and he hammered the crap out of me first time I went to the hole and I butchered him on the other end and chirped him a little bit which woke him up and changed his mode from getting in some exercise to showing up some punk(me). He was wearing Cargo Shorts, a t-shirt with a pocket and some sort of hiking boots. It was classic!

Well 7 or 8 on each side waiting to play "next". Although I do remember getting absolutely lit up by what I thought was a homeless guy one Saturday and after we lost I was taking off my shoes because I was "done" and my friend PJ says "where are you going" and I said "I don't have it today, I just got schooled by a homeless guy who just wandered into the gym" and he says "Yeah, he looks a little rugged but that is Cavin Andersen"

I have played defense with more effort at the Rec Center in Bismarck on a Saturday morning after a Friday night bender.

Ha. good point. My original post was regarding the minimum expectations that should be met to even think about extending Coach Jones's contract.

We beat Idaho State by 8 on the road and the final score was much closer than the game was. We beat them easily in Grand Forks by 16 and in coast mode for most of the game. They finished 1 game ahead of us in the standings while having the benefit of 4 games against S. Utah and NAU vs. our 2 road games with those teams and no home games against them. Yes, I think we should win that game and do so comfortably.

Embassy Suites. Walk to Alarys and take shuttle to the X

I think UND should easily win their first game, They should comfortably win their second game. Anything less is unacceptable. Weber will be a tough game but we are playing with house money at that point. I will be disappointed if we lose but if we at least show up for a big game but lose, I will look forward with excitement to next season.

Several times. Now if Minnesota ends up as the 14th or 13th ranked teams of those left then I could see us moving to Cincy.

Everyone likes to win.....I want guys on my team that hate to lose more than they like winning.

Not that the Athletic Department listens to me when they have great college basketball minds like Darell to turn too for advice, but I will repeat what I said at beginning of year.....I don't care if we are picked 9th, this is Jones's program and he needs to own it. If we don't finish in the top 4 during the regular season and/or the conference tournament it is time to go. .....I don't like that we finished 5th and had a chance for 4th and didn't get it done at Montana State but we were in the mix. Bottom line is if we are not at least playing in the semi-finals next weekend it is time for a coaching change. Assuming we don't sh!t the bed against S. Utah, we get Idaho State who we handled fairly easily at home and at their gym. No excuses not to get to the Weber State semi final matchup and let it hang loose.

No. It just confirms how much credence anyone should give to your opinions.

Just a question for you D? What sports did you play in high school and/or college?

I know a coach who used to be on staff at UND but also has been on staff at a couple of schools in major conferences and he said that while realizing we are not comparing apples to apples as far as talent goes, all other things equal there isn't a tougher conference to win on the road than the Big Sky....the travel is brutal

I wouldn't recommend anything other than acceptance and embracing and appreciating different cultures. If ND becomes more diverse than ND becomes more diverse and if ND doesn't become more diverse than ND doesn't become more diverse.

I don't think anyone said it shouldn't be embraced....it just doesn't need to be socially engineered.

It's not...other than it should be accepted not "made". time to shake this candidates hand and send him packing.

Those damn evil suite holders.

Well they did change their name from Indians to The Tribe but that was in the late 70's I believe. The NCAA told them to get rid of the feathers in their logo in 2006 in association with The Tribe name.

26-32 in the 2 games and actually missed 4 shots in a row. last 3 on Thursday and first 1 on Saturday.

Do you think he just does things out of the goodness of his heart? Why would you think that? He had the opportunity to bid on this project and chose not to.

You are wondering if darell1976 is just making things up? Are you new here?

In fairness, he was giving some insight to my question. The Bismarck team has been dominant and I was wondering if they had enough girls in their youth programs to justify having additional school teams and it appears they do. I see the Bismarck A bantam team beat Fargo AA last week. I realize it would be tough for Bismarck to play a AA schedule as Grand Forks and Fargo just play mostly Minnesota teams but is seams that Bismarck could maybe have more than one A team? Fargo has 1 AA team, 1 A team, 2 B1 teams and 2 B teams while Bismarck has one A team, 1 B1 team and 1 B team. ....on a side note, I believe that the Fargo AA team are all Davies kids except 1. Going to watch GF and Fargo today at 3:45.
