That never gets old!

Yeah.....you haven't had the "leadership" we have been "blessed" with for so long.

This is the vision I have articulated on this forum many times, only to be told that "you don't know what you are talking about". Kudos for once again stating the obvious.

This kid does not work for the WIAA, so the employee-employer example doesn't make sense here. As for the bolded portion of your comment above, the question here is who should impose consequences and how severe should they be? Should it be the parent? Sure. Should it be the bureaucrats at the WIAA? NO! The WIAA has ZERO business trying to muzzle people outside of their sphere of influence (schools, on school grounds, at school events, at WIAA sanctioned events, etc.). If we don't draw a line here, where do you draw it? If you don't draw it anywhere, then what else will the WIAA stick it's nose into? I don't want to find out, do you? And as for the cheap shot about this kid's intelligence, she holds down a 3.5 GPA while participating in extra-curricular activities, which is what all "good little boys and girls do" according to our society today. So I think character assassination is not called for here. Again, you didn't answer my question: Should the students who showed up with duct tape over their mouths be disciplined? I say no. What say you?

The WIAA should not have unlimited jurisdiction over anything and everything, much less social media. Please point out the rule and/or law that says you must like what the WIAA does and must praise them for whatever they do? If the WIAA wants to put out garbage like this, then they can learn to accept the slings and arrows that come with it.

I suppose they'll get penalized too? Because we must bow down to all authority figures, no matter what they do. Right, Siouxperfan7?

Yeah, Pioneer Football League.

If the Gophers had still been in the old WCHA last year, they would not have been in the tournament. Thank the Big 10 auto bid for that.

Well, if some of your fellow Bison brethren would stop holding up "Bring on Bama" signs and continuing to belittle UND at games that don't involve UND, then we might not do stuff like this.

Yeah, depth is important in football. But this year's draft must focus on offense (O-Line and WRs). Of course, if a stud defensive player happens to fall to us, we better take him (I am still ticked off about not taking Warren Sapp back in 1994).

It seems like it is happening more this offseason. Or maybe that is just perception overtaking reality?

You forget, anything south of Horace, north of Harwood and west of Casselton doesn't matter (sarcasm).

So should ArchyAlum11 be banned for this? Cripes, give him a break, it's not that big of a deal.

But once you get it off the ground, it can be profitable and a reliable revenue source. Eventually, they would beat us in hockey, but it would take some time. Personally, I would love to play FU in hockey, that would make the rivalry with Minnesota and Denver look like a love-fest by comparison.

That is the thing that nags at the back of my head. But I suppose you are right; it probably won't happen every off-season.

This level of attrition is not sustainable if we are going to compete regionally and nationally. What is making players hang it up after one season like this? Or is it just bad luck?

No, stalking is technically a crime. I would never go that far. I have nothing personal against Schlossman; I just think there are better writers in the world of sports journalism.

Yeah, Favre holds the all-time NFL INT record.

Well, if they don't mind finishing 1-10 or 2-9 every year, getting blown out by 20 or 30 points multiple times every year and having bad home crowds every year, then by all means stay in FBS. Of course, the Big Sky might finally tell them to either bring FB on board or get out, so that will put them in a tough position. Sometimes, being a UND fan feels pretty good.

I am not the biggest Schlossman fan in the world, but I agree with this article 100%. I also get hung up on what will happen the next couple of years too much.

Well, like I said, CB is a tough position to learn at the NFL level where you have to cover guys like Calvin Johnson. It took Rhodes a couple of years to get on the field full time and it will take Waynes a couple of years as well. That is how the Vikings are building this team, through the draft, one piece at a time. Unlike 1998 and 2009, this team is being built for long-term success. That is something we haven't really had since the 1970's.

I do not think Rhodes would be starting if he was "average"; Zimmer is pretty tough on DBs since he was one. And CB is one of the tougher positions to grasp at the NFL level, the difference in speed and agility from college to the professionals is pretty big. Waynes will get there. And yes, the offense is what needs upgrading now. The 2016 draft will be crucial in doing this.

Not all of us were "begging for a game against NDSU". I was 100% against it; I felt we should wait until our program was back on its feet and if that meant waiting for a future playoff match-up, then so be it. And a lot of people on both sides think the game should be played every year. And yes, it is something the whole state would embrace. But NDSU having success on a national stage helps NDSU and ONLY NDSU. Otherwise, it is either neutral or a negative.

You must have missed how good he was in coverage on Sunday. And he got us that Interception that stopped a drive. He played mainly special teams this year, but he has all the physical tools to be great. And aside from the terrible PI penalty, Rhodes looked pretty good on Sunday too. The defense is the least of our concerns right now.

They are buying into that "It's good for the entire state of North Dakota" crap being promoted by Joel Heitkamp of KFGO and probably some others as well. All I know is that I will bleed Kelly Green and White forever and never, EVER support NDSU.
