Will any school opt-in?

No, this isn't Bemidji State. But having athletic facilities connected is a plus.

That's what I was trying to say.

I know when Schmidt took over FB, he managed to hang onto current players and recruits for the most part. The new coach would have to reach out to all of them and tell them what he has planned for the program.

Yes, Chaves is the root of the problem, no question.

We need a hard reset.

Sounds like Blais.

Same here. Those were great times.

I don't want to end up like we were in 1994 when Blais took over. That was a total dumpster fire and I am still shocked how quickly Blais rebuilt it. I don't want to go through that again.

I think he has just one (next year).

And there were $750K reasons why Bubba wasn't going anywhere. We know what happened despite that.

I am not surprised. People know the reputation this program has for excellence and being in championship contention on a regular basis. And it is obvious that we are no longer that program. And people know this cannot continue indefinitely.

Do they have as nice of a weight room? Nope.

Our new facilities should help mitigate the cold winters we have.

Thank you for the clarification!

Parity? Denver didn't get that memo.

Some people here have been conditioned to accept playing second and third fiddle to other programs and attribute failure to the absence of "luck". Ralph Engelstad used to say "The harder I work, the luckier I get." We need to get back to that thinking.

Too many injuries on defense finally caught up with the Lions. If they can keep this team together and healthy next year, they will be tough to stop.

The early 1990's come to mind as well.

Hak as a bridge to the future? Sure. I don't know how long he would want to do it.

Nope, no litmus tests based on pedigree. If it's a UND alum, great. If it isn't, so be it. We need a hard reset.

I agree 100%.

I think we need to go younger, edgier and more aggressive.
