almostheaven/watchmaker is that you?

If I recall correctly, doesn't SDSU have 1 year contracts? And USD also?

As I read the posts above about UND not recruiting ND schools, while Bohl is, it is a sad commentary when the staff doen't even know who is responsible for recruiting ND/MN.

Really? Election fraud causing a measure to be kept off the ballot is the same as writing an NSF check? I beg to differ.

Idaho State actually seems to have a decent team this year On the other hand, Mussman has managed to keep his teams out of the 'other' news...

FIFY

if you want a measure of Faison's cojones, just check out New Mexico State's outstanding athletic programs. Leadership starts at the top.

Maybe its that the coaches are not making scholarship offers. They may not have confidence that they will still be on the staff to do the coaching when these recruits actually take the field. That may be why someone like Wilkie hasn't been offered yet.

not trolling... welcome opinions from Griz (anti-cat) fans

that guy behind you looks p***ed!

didn't get it? UND vs Delaware St !!!!

well, we can always look forward to UND going toe-to-toe with Northern Colorado for the third year in a row... after all, as FCS rivals, its 1-1

foxsports.com story: no, its not about Mussman and the Sioux, its about Mack Brown at Texas. this is only my uninformed opinion, but the big frustration with the general direction of the UND football program is that UND is in the midst of the prime recruiting territory for FCS football talent - the foundation of NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington football teams is the farm boys, ranch hands and roughnecks (please, I intend absolutely NO disrespect with that reference) that are tough as nails in the trenches. Those programs have the same basic territory to recruit and look what they are building. NDSU & SDSU can go up against Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and get some studs that they want in the strength positions. UND? Well, the Sioux may be getting some talent, but, like Mack Brown, you have to know what to do with it when you get it. Heck, even the Bison fullback is a better blocker than the Sioux linemen. They are bigger, but Grothman has more heart. It feels like confused and lifeless does not describe only the Texas Longhorns this season.

this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Southern Illinois 9 - 3 11 - 2 5 -6 4 -7 6 -5 1 -2 so far in 2013 Dale Lennon is NOT the answer

well said!

The balance of the season cannot ride on ONLY the arms of two freshman quarterbacks. The playbook needs to use more than just Miller out of the backfield. There was not one single carry by another UND running back in the whole 60 minute game. Why weren't Shaugabay, Sparks or Garman given the ball once between the 3 of them? That puts too much of the game on the arm of the freshmen quarterbacks. 30 some yards on the ground out of the backfield isn't even an attempt at a balanced attack. Take some pressure off the quarterback and at least try to establish a second dimension of offense. Even the Packers cannot ride Rodgers' arm a whole season, they did get some help from Starks, Kuhn and Jackson the year they won the Super Bowl.

:silly: :lol:

reading what 4life wrote, i came away with a feeling that he is expressing a frustration with the acceptance of 5 and 6 football seasons, frozen four appearances without titles, etc as the way it is for the team formerly known as the Fighting Sioux. The loss of the proud nickname, the destruction of the home of the national championship hockey teams, the acceptance that DI is just too tough for UND to expect excellence and championships, even conference championships, has become the norm for Kelley and Faison and many of the followers of UND athletics... while you may not agree with how it is written, I think the point needed to be made. a little older than 4life, i graduated from UND the last year Rube Bjorkman was the hockey coach - the hockey team was not a winner. On the other hand, Dave Gunther led strong winning basketball teams, Jerry Olson & Gene Murphy were consistently in the fray for NCC titles. These teams did build a foundation for the athletic department, because it was building a winning tradition that attracted superior athletes with winners' attitudes. Then along came Gino and the hockey team turned around - second to Minnesota in the national championship, followed by a national championship and 2 more over the next few years . The tradition was being established. Blais carried through with two more national titles by the turn of the century. At the same time, the football and women's basketball teams were also making their national title runs. Now, excuse makers are saying the coaches need more time to build their trophy case teams, or that the stars move on to the pro ranks too soon, or that the ... (you go ahead and name it, we've all read them many times) While national championships are hard to win, the AC has managed to win 2 in a row (yes, Hayduke, they are not THE national football championship) and look like a good bet to bring home #3 next January. They just won a nationally televised game against the defending Big 12 champion (as in the conference that is the home of Texas football). Meanwhile the UND football team has 7 home games this year, and of the 4 road games, 2 of them are against perennial bottom half of the conference teams. Even with freshman quarterback(s), this team should be able to make the playoffs. If Mussman continues to play quarterback roulette and misses the opportunity he has this year, it is time to find someone who can lead the team over the hump. He appears to be an outstanding recruiter, but can't bring the game to the field. I don't follow the hockey team as closely, but it is time to close the deal there too. Hakstol, is also an outstanding recruiter, but seems to have difficulty making in-game adjustments when the opponents have an answer to the plan he has developed going into the game. As Larry the Cable Guy says, it's time to "git 'er done".

Remember the new Bizun rule - DII games count now too

considering UND was 342 270 +72 against teams not from Eastern Washington or Montana State, keeping those two games closer would make #1 a buy. considering those two teams are on the 2013 schedule for UND again, #2 is still a sell, but Idaho State and UC Davis are on the schedule this year and Cal Poly isn't, so #2 could be a buy with a better defense. unless the defense much much much better, #3 is a sell Buy or Sell: Sparks actually gets an opportunity to log playing time this season

can't resist the temptation to be the spell check police since you attack Goon for his grammar/spelling it's not two shaaaay, it's touche' back to watchmaker, his/her style was very similar to almostheavenin2011. anticipating another return under a new moniker...

You gotta love GT Addition of Ferris State finalizes Bison football schedule for 2013 Good for Faison not bending over to take it from the mighty a.c.!

Maybe it will come down to paying the football players the cash 'assistance' stipend that was floated a few months back. Those in the top BCS division pay the stipend and those who don't are in the FCS, with no change in the number of scholarships...
