I was just guessing.

Maybe there was a scheduling problem that forced them to move it back two hours?

Where did you see this?

Agree 1000% And that will involve "spending other people's money", so we all better get used to that idea because that is how 90% of this stuff is funded.

Three years of salary? No, even P5 conference schools would think twice before doing that. But the closer we get to the end of Bubba's current deal, the cheaper it will get to buy him out. Which means he better sit down and think long and hard about whether it is worth it sticking with his assistants no matter what. Chaves didn't hire him (or anyone else at UND), so he is more likely to make changes down the line. Does anyone know how much it cost to buy out Mussman? It couldn't have been cheap, but we came up with it. Finally, why is UND flat broke all the time while NDSU is swimming in cash? That putrid situation needs to change or this will be just the start of a long period of mediocrity. PS: I don't want to hear about how much corporate money is floating around Imperial Cass County; we have to focus on controlling what we can control.

For the record, I never said that and I would disagree with anyone who did. That being said, it is a false choice (years of success without titles vs. one title and years of mediocrity). This isn't about giving up NCAA titles in exchange for 25+ wins each year. It's about looking like the worst team in the country when they have the talent to be so much more.

Perhaps. I am just sick and tired of mediocrity and I am tired of hearing we have zero options for making it better.

Maybe a shorter extension would have been more appropriate.

You get an F for spelling.....but an A+ for the sentiment expressed.

This is the legacy of Faison: Contract extensions given out like candy on Halloween. I don't think Chaves will do that, so Bubba better do something next season or start updating his resume.

Couldn't resist bringing this thread back. It is over 5 years old, but most of it sounds like it could have been written today. Sad, very sad.

This sounds like yet another argument to move back down to Division II. Sorry, not an option. Remember when we used to win things around here? Yeah, so do I. And it is worth pointing out one more time: Chaves did not hire ANY of these coaches and thus owes them nothing. That is something Bubba, Brewster and Jones need to remember. #youareallreplaceable

Not what I meant, but funny nonetheless.

The baseline goal for this program every year should be to secure a Top 8 seed in the FCS playoffs, thus guaranteeing a first-round bye and at least one home game. That would give us a good chance at winning FCS titles and would look appealing to recruits. Anything less than that is unacceptable (Copyright Goon 2018. ALL Rights Reserved).

Maybe a group of people should pool their money together and buy the Heraldo from Forum Communications. We could run it like the Green Bay Packers are run.

What makes you think those season ticket holders will be more faithful about showing up than the others that don't show up?

Aren't unclaimed student seats already resold?

Splitting on the road in this conference is acceptable. Now we need to sweep WMU at home this weekend. The offense is already better than last year. And we do have some high-end recruits coming in the next couple of years who will give us a big boost in the goal scoring department. Too late to give up on this team.

Which is what the Vikings did yesterday vs. the Lions. #10sacks

So much complaining and unhappiness after a freaking home sweep. Sure there are things that need work, but the team is starting to figure it out. Try to enjoy the wins at least a little bit.

Who cares which school our next HC comes out of? It would be brilliant to hire someone from a successful program who knows them from the inside out and probably knows where to find talented recruits. It would be even better considering they are our most bitter rival and we can use one of their assistants to stick it to them in the MVFC. As I have said before, Chaves did not hire any of the current head coaches. That means Bubba, Brewster and Jones are all on unofficial "notice".

I always loved that one!!!

She doesn't have a choice once 2030 comes around.

I think we should hire that Philadelphia firm that runs the Alerus Center and has turned that place around in a very short period of time. They know what they are doing.

Not in so many words, no. But that was the gist of the message I was getting from the hockey-only crowd on this forum. #readbetweenthelines
