And Tampa won three games after starting the season 0-8 before losing today. The Vikings should get a top 5 draft choice or top 10 at the very worst. With all the QB prospects that will be available in the 2014 draft, they should get a crack at settling the one position that hasn't been settled since Tarkenton retired.

No head coach of Wyoming will ever have the resources to compete (same with Iowa State), so those coaches shouldn't be judged as failures because of what happened at those schools.

UND vs. St. Lawrence Saints - Saturday

Welcome to our (sometimes) dysfunctional Fighting Sioux on-line family! Your first post is a good one. And I agree with you 100%. Don't be a stranger. -
Agree 100%. As it stands right now, Hakstol = Woog. That could change this year, it could change next year or it may never change. Hakstol has had everything you could ask for to win at this level. Facilities, tradition, institutional and community support, talent. When you have all of this and you cannot bring home even ONE NCAA title, it is completely fair to ask the questions being asked. Not saying we should fire Hakstol, but it is more than fair to criticize his game management and his "systems" (which he is married to at all times, no matter what the situation). Being objective does not make you a "bad fan" or "disloyal" or whatever. Having said all that, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Another factor in the Florida FB situation is that there are so many other FBS programs in the state that will take advantage of the current putrid state of the program in recruiting. The path from greatness to mediocrity is short and the path back to prominence is much, much longer (and rockier).

You really want to open up that can of worms again?!?!

UNH has gotten close a couple of times (they lost to Maine in OT in the 1999 title game for instance). Yeah, it would be cool if he could finish his coaching career with an NCAA title.
-
Yes, coaching changes don't always work out. But that falls squarely on the Presidents and Athletic Directors, who are constantly besieged by wealthy donors and alums to make changes for whatever reasons. They have to have the discipline and the guts to say no when a change is not really warranted. Otherwise, they shouldn't be in their jobs.
-
I imagine this same thing happens with various big-time FB programs as well. For example, I would imagine a lot of Florida FB fans are chomping at the bit for a change after losing to Georgia Southern (a team without a passing game) last weekend. Same thing with Alabama and Auburn FB. If coaches there don't win conference and/or national championships, they are gone. The more passionate the fan base, the more "crazy" the comments are. I don't think it's a vice, I think it's a virtue. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
-
That is a pretty good analysis of the situation.
-
No questioning your loyalty from this fan; there is nothing wrong with calling it as you see it. Of course, some people on here will give you an argument on that.
-
Um, yeah, that was several years ago. Having one really good team does not make you better than another school several years later, especially since FU has a five year head start on us as a Division I program. The fact is that Saul Phillips went to the Big Dance with Tim Miles' players. He has yet matched that level of success with his own guys. And until he does that, FU will remain stuck in the mud while we catch up to them.
-
Nice that you are using your FU education. My question was that the NCAA has allowed transfers without penalty in the past and I wanted to know if it was applicable to a coach being fired. I never implied anything else. Nice try, please play again.
-
Didn't the players at Penn State get the option of transferring without penalty after the whole sex abuse scandal broke?
-
I didn't wear any Fighting Sioux gear for about a month after that. And that is a first (and hopefully last) for me.
-
That is what I was thinking as well. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Good idea, that laundry building is a dump and an eyesore.

I got a great education in the UND Business School and it's awesome that enrollment is up like it is. But the time has come for a new facility with all the bells and whistles needed to educate our students for the 21st Century. I imagine there are some well-off alums that would pitch in and help. And this is the perfect project for the UND Spirit Campaign fund.

And they have that only because of the turmoil in the athletic department in December 2007 that led us to promoting Mussman to head coach after Lennon left for SIU instead of conducting a proper, national search. And we are working on rectifying that now.

Good point regarding Braun, but I think the defense was overall pretty solid. 77 points isn't all that bad, although I would like it down in the mid-60's if possible. We'll need to be firing on all cylinders come conference tournament time if we want to get past Weber St. in March.
-
If this team cannot develop some sort of consistency from one game to the next, this will end in another home split. We are running out of time to build a resume for the national tournament in March.

I guess I should have used #Buttfootball.

If that is the best the "Slummit" League has to offer, that whole league is in trouble. Whoops, I forgot........ #ButtRPI
