now that there is funny. i don't care who you are. thanks for the morning chuckle, bison06

can anything be read into Faison and Kelly both being in Davis and neither one of them being in Grand Forks for the hockey series?

This post still haunts the thread. If the people green_sioux is talking about are as well connected as he makes it sound, this board may implode next week. Really curious about what is going on behind those closed doors.

hey, at least the women's volleyball team looks like its going to sweep Eastern Washington

any idea how much time is left?

thanks. been watching fullscreen & with no sound. finally came back to check for an answer.

Is Miller playing D-Back?

Yeah, the NDSU job after Bohl goes FBS.

the announcement should be something along the lines of "we're starting a nationwide search for the best candidate"...

since I missed by a point last week, lets see if the score works this week... to close out the season with 2 wins, the Sioux have to win today: UND 24 UCD 20 Doubt the outcome will have any impact on whether Mussman is retained as the head coach. That scenario has already been determined in Faison and Kelly's offices. The rest of us will be let in on that secret early next week.

the Summit and MVC are not an option now. Douple has turned his back on UND since Nov 2009 and Vivitero expressly said the invitation to South Dakota was because UND was not included. Now, with the Summit's basketball auto bid in jeopardy, some fans are bringing the subject up, but there has been no indication from either conference that they have changed their positions on adding UND. On top of that, when I was in school my hope was always that if UND ever moved to DI that it could get into the Big Sky. Now, here we are and, really, it's a nice place to be. It is a tough conference with history, credibility and STABILITY. Yes, it is a loss of nostalgic rivalries, but it also differentiates UND from the other Dakota/I-29 schools- in a good way. Except for a few schools, western conferences are not bus leagues. All 3 of them cover the western third of the country. The cost may be a little higher, but is it really better to sit on a bus all day to get to Fort Wayne than it is to fly to Flagstaff?

the Summit may be a basketball league, but they better become a baseball or soccer league soon.

Blame that one on the lady who sued Mickey D's for having a little beef broth in their deep fryer. Haven't been the same since.

also, the MVC schools will more likely than not resist another Summit League team. that would give the Summit as many members in the MVFC as the MVC

It would take Youngstown leaving the MVFC for there to even be a chance of UND having a football home under your plan, Herd. It does raise the question, however about your motives here... Is it concern for UND's budget or the future existence/vialbility of the Summit?

The talent must still be there... Mankato is ranked #1 and Duluth #5. I think Whitewater is up there too.

If this is correct, and I have no basis to think that your sources are bad, Faison is taking UND football down the same road as New Mexico State Aggies football. That makes me very sad.

great to see the guys come from behind and win. don't think these last two games will have an impact on the decision whether Mussman goes or stays. if he stays, it will be because Faison doesn't want to buy out his contract and/or because he runs a clean program, not because the Sioux won the last two games against weak teams to get to 4 and 7.

to close out the season with 2 wins, the Sioux have to start today: UND 24 UNC 20

Have to play the devil's advocate here... Mussman will save his job with wins the next 2 weeks.

idea #1 far surpasses #2 problem with Claeys is that Minnesota more than likely will offer him Kill's position when Kill decides his health issues will force him to retire at the end of the season. Hazelton would probably be a better choice than Schweigert, even though he does not have HC experience.

can Faison find a head coach for football that can do for the FB program what Hardee has done with the volleyball program? He could have a one-week head start on the competition in the search...

Sad that, as of 11 o'clock Grand Forks time, there is so little interest in UND football that there are NO replies to this thread on game day.

Not on the Mussman bandwagon by any means, but... his players have managed to stay out of the news for off field indiscretions for the most part. That is a very good thing.
