UND-FB-FAN

As much as Iowa's coach overreacted, Jones' history of undisciplined teams should also factor into this. Without question, in my eyes, UND men's basketball will be successful at the DI level only if Brian Jones is removed and replaced with competency.

Amen

And if things go right, do I get credit?

Bohl wasn't from North Dakota and he came to NDSU with some baggage.

Oh boo-hoo Go UND Fighting Hawks Football! 2016 Big Sky Conference Champs! Future 2017 Big Sky Conference Champs!

Both more talent and more numbers/depth.

Get over it and move on. Rudolph will (and better) learn from the playoff game, too.

I agree. Defense wins championships and Eastern Washington, along with most other Big Sky teams, consider defense an afterthought. Big Sky is no where to be found in the FCS championship game, again, due to it. UND is going the right direction by emphasizing defense and a ball-control running game.

Completely different situation in 2007, but I suppose I can buy that.

Bubba is not going anywhere anytime soon. I'm not too sure where that sentiment came form. My comments were centered around the fact that Bubba deserves an extension and raise now, rather than after his final contract year.

And your perceived lack of knowledge is alarming? I think it's quite the rudimentary concept that Bubba deserves to be extended.

Of course, but tonight's game perhaps exemplifies why Jones should not be retained.

Tonight's game fires up this discussion again, in my opinion.

Missed way too many free throws. Embarrassing, actually. That point of emphasis was obviously not made by coach Brian "Jump Around" Jones prior to tonight's game. NDSU also hit a high percentage of 3-pointers. I guess one could argue UND should've played tighter defense at the 3-point line. Poor, poor performance tonight for UND. Sure stings given the opportunity was there to sweep NDSU on the same night their precious football program lost.

Great that NDSU football lost tonight -- was fun watching the NDSU game end at the basketball game. Too bad that the UND basketball team had to choke away a game against NDSU. It takes away some of the excitement from tonight.

It Faison could extend Mussman and Jones for accomplishing pseudo-championships then UND and Faison sure as hell better extend Bubba NOW. As long as UND's athletic department is headed by Faison, it will be at least semi-dysfunctional.

It's an embarrassment at this point, though.

See comments on camps. Take it to the bank.

Couldn't agree more; it's one of the biggest differences between Mussman regime and the current one under Bubba. Recruiting camps allow you to recruit a lot of intangibles not seen on tape and that has led to much better recruiting classes for UND since Bubba has been here. John Santiago is one such example of a player that is here at UND due to UND's summer camps.

Watched his hudl. He's a very good looking athlete. Its another addition to UND's roster that appears big-time!

Absolutely.

I would say January if UND is playing for a national championship, but that's just me ... January 2018 could be a good one!

Great recruiting day! A lot of very talented future UND student-athletes!! Future is bright! I continue to like what Bubba and his staff are doing more and more! Go Fighting Hawks!

Patience, my friend. They're coming. This team also needs pure [D1] athleticism and they're getting it.

I like it.
