So if you look up Tony Samuel (ex-New Mexico State and current SE Missouri coach, ex-Nebraska player) and poke around the Nebraska coaching tree and go one or two degrees of separation...you can come up with a list of highly qualified candidates in a hurry.
the reason i said that i think that the person he hires is not on the above list is because of the hardee hiring...i'm not sure that the new vb coach was a big topic a couple of years ago but faison obviously had his eye on him back from his days with nmsu....i wondering if he's kept an eye on someone and now its time to hire him...like hardee
-
realistically how soon before faison hires a new coach....days, weeks, or months... seems like joe glenn was hired at usd very shortly after meikerhort was fired after the worst fb inthe history of football games at the alerus(((should have been muss' last one too the looks of it))..
even tho i voted for brooks its my hunch that faison goes for someone we haven't named on here yet??

When did Sioux hockey become almost unwatchable? This team is not playing a compelling or competing or entertaining brand of hockey right now.
when blais' recruits ran out of eligibility...that's when. the lack of team speed on recent teams is horrible
-
Does the school or the conference supply championship banners?
i'm not sure...just saying that non hockey programs kind of fend for themselves! rea gets real "banners" for member schools but besc get fathead banners for member schools...
-
Although I don't know for sure that this meeting happened, I do find it likely. All the players that I have spoken to, both former and current, have indicated to me that Mussman doesn't have the respect of his players. He just lacks that disciplinary stance that is required for good leadership. Since 2009 or so, there were already rumblings that Mussman had no respect due to his childish demeanor, so with that said, it's perfectly possible in my mind that the players may have met with Faison regarding Mussman's inability to coach and be a leader of men.
a good person to ask if this meeting took place would be greg loytusz??

And what happened during Gino's final three years as head coach? Yup, the program went down the toilet. What worked in the 1980's did not work as well in the 1990's and does not necessarily work in the 2010's either. I wish Hakstol would figure that out.
so your saying we currently have gino, jr but with cheaper shoes but a nicer house???
-
when the women clinch the first big sky conference title do you think they get a classy banner like at REA or a big ol' fathead bsc banner slapped on the wall?? (with the old bsc logo no less?)
-
either u know ur going for this or you don't before the play?? come on muss
-
time for hanson??? see what he can do...
-
has dayo played or is he hurt?
-
what kind of route is that by bridges??? ugly fb...
-
So I couldn't figure out how to embed the code for the actual tweet, but here is the text of it.
thanks

I thought I saw a tweet where they are fathead logos so easily moved.
But yes rediculous that it took over a year to get them. Now for that old Big Sky logo on the court...
Oh and a video board.
which twitter account?
-
looks like someone over at REA saw that the womens vball team is currently on top of a so called "Big Sky Conference" and decided to embrace the fact that UND is something other than the NCHC and decided to paint on the member schools logo's on the south wall at the Betty? Better late than never but banners would have been nicer and i can't wait until REA finds out that Idaho (no not Idaho State they are already in the BSC) will be joining next year so a couple of logos painted over will have to be shifted down a bit.

Punting battle.
that is something we can win at....punting

If you're wondering who the poll encompasses:
summit should not be on this list imo..
-

I'm pretty sure that number fluctuates depending on the year. For instance, during the past year they had extra expenses due to the name change. But you have no proof that there is "something wrong over there", that is just a guess that you are making because you have an impression that they "should be making more". You really don't know what they should be making any more than any of us on the forum. And you don't know what additional services they are providing to UND Athletics as an in-kind donation. Remember, any services they provide below normal cost is money that UND doesn't have to spend. That is as good as a monetary donation.
you would be hard pressed to find two nicer guys than chris and jody and maybe there lies the problem....maybe the fat maybe needs to be trimmed a little at the ralph and betty and you need a hard ass to do that and chris and jody might be too nice to go around firing a few unneeded employees to improve the bottom line...
i'm just saying that if you talk to casual und fans (and i have the last couple of weeks) and ask them how much do you think the the ralph/betty make for the athletic departemnt each year and most if not all just say "millions"...granted myself and all the people i have asked haven't and don't run event facilites but there seems to be a big discrepancy between perception and reality on this one....

Do you have any experience running a facility? Do you know anything about running an athletic department? Do you know anyone on the board that runs REA? Did you know that Earl Strinden is still part of that board, and that he is the one that talked Ralph into making the donation? He was also Speaker of the House for the North Dakota Legislature for many years. Do you know Jody Hodgson or Chris Semrau, the general manager and the Director of Events, or know how much time and effort they put into running the complex? Did you know that Semrau was one of the first employees hired? Do you have any knowledge or experience that would let you speak intelligently on the subject rather than making broad accusations?
no to most and yes to some....i'm just saying that if 500k is all they can generate with two buildings like that for the und athletic department there is something wrong over there...and if ralph were still around he would do something about it...
-
Kris Engelstad McGarry is a multimillionaire on her own. She had a strong mentor.
children of millionaires that "made it on their own" are few and far between....
-
You do realize that Ralph's trust still owns and operates the building. Ralph's daughter is on the board of the trust that operates the building.
first just because she's ralphs daughter doesn't mean she has the business sense and foresight that made a "normal" kid from trf into a millionaire...the silver spoon in her mouth might get in the way of saying something meaningful during those board meetings...second is i doubt she and the trust have the love and passion for und like ralph did.
-
He said they gave UND $550,000. Which is about enough to pay for UNDs top three coaches.
One would guestimate the "Ralph complex" costs $4.5+ Million to operate in expenses?
if that number is accurate ralph is spinning in his grave
-
UND just completed a fund raising campaign that raised $324,000,000 in something like 6 years. UND is now raising $40-50,000,000 per year in donations and they expect to continue raising money at that rate. I don't know how much you want people to give.
As far as how much REA has given to the athletic department, as has been mentioned before it would be a losing proposition to broadcast it no matter how much it is. Some people would think it wasn't enough. Other people would complain about how much they were giving away and complain about the prices that REA charges. It would be a lose-lose proposition to broadcast the amount.
i think your confusing und the education side with und the athletics side...last year the und athletics department had 19 million in revenue...the ndac a little over 16 million....i think with all the advantages und has over the ndac i would have thought that number would have easily been twice that..
-
ask..don't ask..hire an accountant....ask someone to hire an accountant?? if REA give soooo much money to the athletic department you think that number would be front and center on their webpage in big bold numbers..... 34.3 MILLION DOLLARS DONATED SINCE 2001!!!! i bumped this thread up bc i think with und only generating a couple million dollars more than than the ndac i think is horrible considering how many millionaires have passed thru just the mens hockey side in the last ten years not to mention atheletes and non-athletes that have passed thru the business and engineering schools in the past 40 years...mr. mean/mr. chipman to name a few???
