It wasn't an issue of NDSU taking recruits "from" Brewster since he didn't recruit them as he as busy trying to pull 4 and 5 stars from Texas. There were a few players at NDSU who should have had full rides to Minnesota offered and many others who could have easily played for his Minnesota teams. If Brewster doesn't have a ring or two from NDSU it is at worst criminal and at the very least not very neighborly like. Still can't believe Brewster blocked me on twitter.

One can not overlook one of the biggest factors in NDSU's success. If NDSU didn't give Brewster at least 2 rings it is criminal on their part.

Not with Gene Taylor at K State. Have heard him and Craig aren't exactly friendly anymore.

Bohl didn't handle things as well as Klieman. The thing that created hard feelings when Bohl left was he and his coaching staff tried to flip some recruits to Wyoming while the rest of the Bison staff was trying to keep their recruits committed...don't think that will be a factor this time as NDSU and K-State are not competing for the same type of athlete.

Brass Bonanza!

stroke a check

I think there is a big difference between D1 Men's Basketball and FCS Football. In basketball, being in a 1 bid league(1 out of 9 teams makes the tournament in the Summit), ideally you would be in the top half of the conference most seasons and have a shot of winning your conference tournament...the other teams in the conference have the same expectations. Contrary to the belief of some the other teams in the conference don't just field teams for us to have someone to play. I am not a huge fan of Jones but he met these criteria most years in the Big Sky. As someone pointed out, Faison dropped the ball on his contract which then put us in a tough spot following the NCAA tournament year. I am torn right now because I am actually intrigued by this current team and think the next couple of years could be fun to watch. This team really misses Marlon Stewart and I think they have a shot to finish in top half of the Summit. Anyone who watches FCS football realizes it doesn't take much to make the playoffs. Hell, we seem like we have been half assing it and we are still easily in the top 25% of teams in the division and 20% make the playoffs. It will be interesting to see if their are any competitive games this weekend as the field is cut from 8 to 4.

Well Grand Forks Bantams did finish ranked in top 2 the last 2 seasons for Minnesota Bantams...I realize that includes Red River and Central but I believe a good majority of the kids on the AA team we're from GFC

Heard Carter Randklev is injured and out for rest of season for The Force.

Not sure where he is as far as age goes but if he was still able to play Bantams that might have been the better choice. 60+ games against good Minnesota teams vs. 20 games and a limited role against a mixed bag of ND competition.

I'll say 105

From my understanding if they had determined that Kawaguchi's penalty was only a minor they couldn't call anything but since they determined it was a major they were able to call it even though none was called on the ice during play.

Do these announcers know the game is on TV and people can see that UND hasn't actually committed 12 uncalled penalties so far.

Rauhauser would be in the same category. Would be nice kid to have being from Bismarck but wonder what his development would have been here his first two years as his ice time would have likely been limited?

bingo. It is why Gopher fans struggle when they lose because they have watched those kids dominate at the bantam and high school level for so long.

I think they knew what the problem was. They just didn't do a good job of fixing it. Holmgren wants to win now and trade prospects from their now deep farm system while Hextall who rebuilt their farm system didn't want to do that. They had used 5 goalies in their first 23 games. They have their goalie of the future in 20 year Carter Hart playing his first season in the AHL right now and don't want to rush him to the NHL.

I would say that our issues on offense this season first became pretty apparent during the Sam Houston State game

Hak got them to the playoffs twice in 3 seasons and expectations were to continue on the upswing this season which they still could. Hextall's major thing to accomplish this year and next was to find a goaltending bridge until their young stud goalie is ready....5 goalies in 23 games indicates that he did not get this accomplished. A little unfair as he has done a great job of getting their farm system rebuilt and on the way to getting salary cap back under control.

This^ Made the comment many times from my normal spot on the rail in the end zone that if someone handed me a controller I would probably grade out at 95-98%....can't imagine what a paid defensive coordinator saw when he broke down tape.

I like Freund but the first question in my mind was it we had a guy on staff that we felt could be up the job all this time then why at some point in the last 4 years after one of our inept offensive performances didn't Bubba say "Hey Rudy, we're gonna change things up this week, maybe give things a little different perspective and let Danny call the next game" I mean we had 20+ opportunities to try this in the last 4 years.

Well obviously it isn't a UND licensed logo so if they want to market and promote the logo independently they are free to do so and if people want to buy it they are free to do so. If enough people buy and wear it then maybe it becomes the unofficial logo....could be worse, see Dartmouth(Keggy the Keg)

Hell, that's a weekend at Augies for gfhockey.

Apples and Oranges. These are all vastly superior to the current mess of a logo we have.
