Need to keep them off the charity strip. Need to me more disciplined. Looking good otherwise.

How bout this guy? Bring this strategy to the FCS level!!

There are many things that are attractive about the UND head coaching position. The brand new HPC will be Faisons biggest selling point when attracting a high profile candidate. As much as people want to rip on the Alerus Center, It is one of the nicest facilities in FCS for a team to play in. Look around the country at other schools and its hard to disagree. The opportunity to take over a program that is reeling and turn it around might motivate many candidates to accept a job here. A new coach would be able to take complete control of the program and run the team in the direction they see fit. And finally, as much as people want to rip on North Dakota and Grand Forks, it is a great place to live. Low crime, friendly people, great schools. All things a candidate would look at when deciding to move their family here. Add all these things up, and Faison can make a pretty good sell to potential candidates.

I never liked how UND marketed this years schedule as "one of the best." Sure it had some highly ranked teams, but in reality it was one of the toughest if not the toughest in all of FCS football. Only think that would have made it good was to beat 2 or 3 of the 4 ranked teams that we played at home. But given the play on the field, that was not possible. Doesn't matter if we have Montana, MT State, and SDSU at home or Weber St, Robert Morris, and Idaho St. If you aren't winning games,, people are not going to be excited to go to the Alerus to watch the game. Its that simple. Keeping Muss another would have been a disaster in terms of attendance. Getting a new coaching staff in here will generate a little buzz and winning a few games off the bat will bring the casual fan back. Faison made the right decision and took the first step towards rebuilding this program to what it has the potential to be.

According to WDAZ, Faison is looking for someone with pro or D1 experience.

Mods, can we merge this with the other thread about hiring a new coach? Thanks.

So when should we anticipate an announcement tomorrow? I

How long is the contract between the NCHC and CBSSN? Anyone know?

Remember, Bison fans have very short and selective memories!!

I guess I haven't heard much about Hooker not being ready to go. While I agree that his playing time may be limited due to the number of guards we have. But depth is a key aspect in winning games. Sure we have our stud Seniors who have played tons of minutes since they were freshman. But every team needs depth. Especially if we are to compete for a Big Sky title. Just think of what a great asset he would be coming off the bench!! I think they should play him right away and use him. This year is one of the most anticipated years I can remember for mens basketball at UND. If we are gonna make a run at making it to the Big Dance, we will need the depth Hooker provides to win games late in the game. I guess we will find out tonight!!

Please God have it be next Monday!!

Anyone notice the new Great West Football Conference banner in the north endzone? That sure took a long time to get. Maybe Muss paid to have it made to remind Faison of his championship season. Ha!!!!

10 minutes till kickoff....worst crowd I have ever seen at the Alerus. To be expected I guess.

Our Seniors deserve a win. I say huge game for Bartels and Hardin. 35-17 UND.

If I could hand pick my seats at the Ralph right now, I would pick the first row of the corner sections. Best seats in the house to see all the action IMO. Anyone got any they want to give me??!!! Ha!!

Each banner is unique to each year. Same on both sides. Earliest to most recent going from east to west. The way it's always been.

I originally posted the "Fire Muss: sign idea in jest. Had no idea that it would spark so much controversy!! I agree that it would be a dumb idea and probably wouldn't serve much purpose. The chances of him getting fired are pretty great. Not sure putting the words on a sign of what the vast majority of fans in the crowd are thinking is really gonna matter.

I have written an email to Faison. If you look at my previous posts, I suggested that was the best way to voice your opinion. I was just curious to see if bringing a sign would actually happen. I agree that there are better ways to voice your opinion. But if someone were to bring a sign calling for Muss to be fired, would you be mad at hat person? Would you disagree with them?!!

I asking an honest question. I probably wouldn't resort to bringing a sign like that. But I did voice my opinion my emailing Faison. That is probably the best way to do it. But if someone wants to bring a "Fire Muss" sign to the game, I fully support that. Why shouldn't a person be able to do that. This is still America right?!!

Won't have to carry it around. I will just find a seat to put it on. Shouldn't have a problem finding one!!

Anyone plan on going all out and bringing a "fire Muss" sign to the game Saturday?!!

Only way to make your voice heard is to email Faison directly. brian.faison@athletics.und.edu Please be respectful. I am sure he has received plenty the last month. But more will show that there are fans out there that don't just want to complain about our team losing, but that we care about this program.
