    Agree 100% I don't think President Kennedy will accept these recommendations in whole.
  2. fightingsioux4life
    We couldn't get FB into the MVFC, so that meant the Big Sky was the better option at the time.

    The committee must think that running our athletic department like a high school is a good thing. We cannot adequately fund 20 sports at the Division I level so that they can thrive and be successful and not merely exist. I hope President Kennedy takes a blended approach to this: Increase revenues AND cut sports. If we can get the number down to at least 16, that would make it much easier to raise the level of support for MBB, WBB and FB, all of which have tremendous upside.

    If there is one, I won't waste my time with it. We just hung #8. That alone makes a "Fire Berry" thread lunacy.

    Well, as long as he is the Athletic Director, he might as well do something big like this.

    If I was Faison, I would bid whatever it took to get the game. That alone would drive the FU faithful nuts.

    Let's also not shed any tears for them either. Whatever we dish out to them, they have earned and then some. Also, anything that puts a stop to all that "Bring on Bama" garbage is good, IMHO.

    I think this topic may deserve its own thread.
  9. fightingsioux4life
    So you want UND athletics to be run like high school? You can have excellent student-athletes and success on the field/court/ice. It isn't a zero sum game.
  10. fightingsioux4life
    You are missing the point. If we are recruiting against schools with FCOA and don't fund FCOA ourselves, we are screwed. The rules have changed and we need to keep up with them.
  11. fightingsioux4life
    The point is that without FCOA, you can kiss any championships goodbye. What chance would Bubba or Brewster or Jones have recruiting in this area against teams with FCOA if UND doesn't fund FCOA? Next to nothing. The merits of FCOA are a separate topic; what matters is that it is here and we need to do it or be mediocre across the board permanently.

    I remember that game! One of the biggest post-game meltdowns in NFL history.
  13. fightingsioux4life
    I actually agree with you; I was just venting. I am now done venting. I am surprised people took it that seriously. Lighten up folks. I like being able to sneak up on other teams. I actually wish the Vikings were not getting the love they are getting from ESPN; all that does is put a big fat target on your back. And not being respected is just more fuel for the gas tank, not that this team needs it.
  14. fightingsioux4life
    And having a bunch of hot-shot freshman is not an indicator of how a team will perform either.
  15. fightingsioux4life
    I think you meant Northeastern (otherwise, the B1G would have seven teams instead of six!). Otherwise, you are correct. I just had to vent a little. If Boston College had won it all last year, they would get all the love that a defending champ should get. But if we do it.......gotta talk about someone else instead. But maybe that is what we need to motivate the boys to do it again.

    If anyone has earned his retirement, it is Dean Blais. I wish him the best no matter what he decides.

    In other words, have a large number of mediocre sports and run the athletic department like high school. You must want NDSU to keep laughing at us and shoving their championships in our face. And I don't give a rat's a$$ what the rest of the Big Sky does with regard to FCOA, especially since we might move to the Slummit League in the near future (not that I agree with it, but it might happen nonetheless). We have to compete with the schools in our region for athletes, not in our conference. We might as well go back to Division II and the NSIC if we aren't going to offer FCOA. You basically want to run the athletic department on a shoe-string budget with caps on games played and God knows what else. That is not what I want UND athletics to morph into. Thank heavens you are not in charge at Twamley or Hyslop.

    If we brought in all those kids, the East Coast media would pretend like it didn't matter. They like to suck up to Hockey Least.
  19. fightingsioux4life
    I am getting sick and tired of hearing about BU and their "diaper dandies" (Copyright Dick Vitale). We are the reigning, defending NCAA National Champions and if the Terriers want to take that title from us, they will have to earn it. And so far, they haven't done that. Let's see where these teams are at in February or March before we start awarding titles to teams.
  20. fightingsioux4life
    What about Division I Men's Hockey schools who don't sponsor Women's Hockey? Why aren't they in Title IX purgatory?
  21. fightingsioux4life
    Shouldn't you worry more about the Motor City Kitties?
  22. fightingsioux4life
    Remember.....Any. Given. Saturday.
  23. fightingsioux4life
    I would love to watch UND end the NDSU streak of championships. How fitting would that be!
  24. fightingsioux4life
    How in the HECK are they getting any kind of "significant return" with the crowds they have drawn to Target Center since this tournament started? Nothing but empty seats if one of the teams isn't North Dakota. What happens if we don't make it one year? It will look like the B1G tournament last year at the X. It would make the league look bad. We should seriously think about getting rid of the post-season tournament like the B1G and WCHA have done.

    I always used to get the Best Western Regency Plaza Hotel-St. Paul East, located in Oakdale, MN. It is one mile north of the I94-I494-I694 interchange and has several restaurants nearby (Demori's, IHOP, Sgt. Peppers Bar & Grille). It is an easy drive from the east to downtown St. Paul. I also have figured out how to get a room there for about $50 using Priceline's Name Your Own Price feature every single time. If the NCHC moves the tournament to the X, I am definitely staying there again.
