Because Mussman ran the program into the ground and the administration didn't provide enough money for decent salaries for the coaches. Also, our transition period was not managed very well, while NDSU had a very successful transition period. When you are starting over from scratch, you aren't going to immediately win recruiting battles against a national power 80 miles away. UND was in this position in 1986 and it took 6 years to make the postseason and 7 years to beat NDSU and win a couple of playoff games. We are now in about the same position as we were in the late 1980's. People who think we should contend for Frisco right now simply do not have a realistic timetable in their heads.

Not me. I think those are perfect locations for those tournaments.

Cripes, even the NHL doesn't manipulate playoff seeding for $$$$$ purposes. And the NHL is an actual professional league! They are professionalizing the World Junior U-20 tournament. What's next, paying the players? SMH

Then the United States had better repeat as Gold medalists or some heads should roll.

Leave the politics out of this, please. That never ends well around here. Let's hope the kid can help us out.

FYP

At least he isn't saying "Go Canada Go".

Canada is always considered the "favorite". Of course, there is so much young talent in this tournament, it is almost impossible to predict who will win.

Ray Purpur?

My thinking is this: If we aren't committed to putting a top-notch, nationally-contending FCS team on the field, then we are better off without a program. Put our money into MBB and WBB and build teams that the big-time schools do not want to play in March. But I don't think most people on this forum would like that. Either shoot for the stars or get out of the game.

So do I. But these things don't always happen instantly. This isn't text messaging.

Try to look at it as a half-full glass. A young team has more upside and will likely get better over time.

I was being sarcastic. I guess I am sick of WBB underachieving. When we join the Summit next year, I want us to be able to compete with the USDs and SDSUs and not just beat up on the NDSUs.

Driving in downtown Minneapolis is a big, fat pain in the posterior.

And look at the bright side, at least we "hung with them". That is what passes for success around here.

Not surprised. It just isn't UND Women's Basketball without at least 20 turnovers per game and Brewster pacing the sideline with that pained look on his face. That is how we roll.

We should just switch to the freaking triple option and be done with it. That would work a lot better than what we have been doing since Rudolph got here.

That is pure baloney. There are a lot of FBS teams that would have trouble winning FCS conference titles, let alone national titles. Bowling Green immediately comes to mind, as well as the entire Sun Belch.

When have you ever contributed anything worthwhile to this forum? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Are you going to poop on the early signing day parade tomorrow too?

Well, you sound like a Bison troll sometimes.

You are posting stuff that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The Community Forum would be a better place for it.
