Well, I fully intend to submit my application as I have coach/played for a variety of teams dating back to NHL93 on Super Nintendo. I also have more Stanley Cups than anyone in the market, consistently winning more than 1 cup in any given calendar year. Name any current coach who can claim that. I would also like to point out the my stretch of playing C-team youth hockey between squirts and bantams (C stand for Cup, of which I have many; again, see above). In addition to extensive NHL experience, I have also watched the movie Miracle and know that the name on the front of your jersey (hopefully just North Dakota) is more important than the one on your back. (Unless we had landed Auston Matthew, in which case everyone just get him the puck) I've wanted to get into the NCAA for a long time, but until EA Sports gets their S%!# together and makes a game, this is looking like my opportunity.

Any chance they will waive these requirements for Wade Murphy to apply?

Then don't watch. Why are you on here giving it so much attention then.

Doesn't mean football won't be different. Different sport, different environment. I'll keep my hopes up until I see otherwise.

You can stop trolling. Yes our team has been irrelevant, so should they continue being irrelevant? No you change things up; hire bubbe; recruit differently; schedule differently. There is not question UND has a ways to go, but they took a nice step in the right direction. Hopefully they take another step this year; but if you ever want to be the best, you have to play the best. Playing NDSU should really show the players what it takes to be at the top. You can get off your pedestal about how much more important NDSU is than UND. The game may not be a big deal for you or even some others; but there are ALOT of people on both sides that have wanted this game back on the schedule for a long time. I know alot of Bison fans that are thrilled to see this game back, and are much happier to see UND over Incarnate Word. Why are both games in Fargo? Because NDSU is dominant in the FCS right now and has the leverage to make that happen Why would UND agree to that? because they are still good games to have on the schedule. If you have such a problem with this game, then don't watch it and stop trolling.

Where is this coming from?

That last part is great

ESPN said last year that NDSU got another gameday because they earned it, which is pretty hard to argue. If ESPN wants to give NDSU another gameday, this would be a perfect time to do it. I will probably be in Fargo that weekend anyway, but if gameday is there, I'll definitely make it.

THIS is not just about a school focus. There needs to be an understanding that a number 1 sport is based on fan following, not just school acknowledgement. The hockey teams fans base is the largest because of perennial success. Football becomes a perennial power; the fan base and follow.

So Hooker would be highly unlikely But why doesn't UND at least offer?

Too sum up ... they were all idiots.

Did I miss something with Neverman? I knew he couldn't play this year, but is he no longer with the team; or am I misunderstanding you?

Toews does alot for the program simply by having attended school here. Having your school associated with a name like that is impressive. It is too bad that basketball can't utilize the Phil Jackson connection better. Granted there is a huge status gap between Toews and Jackson, but still. If having the Zen Master as alumni of your program is pretty impressive if you work it the right way and got Phil to buy in. That being said, I don't know much about whether or not Phil is ever involved with UND, but aside from him accepting an honorary doctorate a few years ago, I really havn't seen much association between him and the school.

As Dave no longer answers to the NCAA, it would be awesome to see him wear a sioux head lapel pin during games or something like that. I know he won't, but that would be pretty cool. It would be like a big middle finger to the NCAA, which I'm sure Dave would NEVER do.

Just may me bust out laughing in a quiet office. Thanks for that one.

Yep, you nailed it.

I don't think the GOBC meets until Wednesdays

Not going defend the guy, already said he had some character issues (though it shouldn't matter who was put into a coma, its bad regardless of relations). Second you need to dig in past the headlines. There were three people involved. An personally I think they are all morons, yes including the kid who was in a coma. They all put themselves into a stupid situation and that guy got the worst of it. Prime example of why getting into fights is stupid, you never know what can happen. They are all to blame. I was simply throwing out the thought of an available QB with FBS experience.

Has Wade Murphy confirmed he is returning yet?

That is along the lines of what I was wondering. Maybe if it is exhibition is doesn't matter, I remember the UofM playing professional European teams back in the day. The players looked like race cars with all of the sponsors and adverstisements on their jerseys.

Totally random question: Could UND ever schedule an AHL team like, the Iowa Wild, for an exhibition game? Is that even allowed? Just seems like if they could do something like that it would be a really cool marketing event. I know I'd want to watch.

That would be really cool

Yeah, obviously had some character issues. BUT after all that he went through with that process, I have to imagine he would make the most of his next opportunity. Big, strong guy with Big Ten experience. Could probably come in and do some pretty good things.

Who cares ... she just needs to stand there on her step stool and look nice

I'm kind of surprised we haven't heard anything about Auston Matthews. Saw the report that he signed in the swiss league, then he didn't. Really wondering what he is waiting on? I know there are options to weigh, but I would think he would do something pretty soon. *Dream* - Could he be holding out to see if accelerating is education is possible?
