UNDBIZ

rough start shooting

Open records requests. UND is required by law to fulfill the requests for information. The Herald isn't pushing for the information because it really doesn't matter at this point and I'm sure UND told them that the "candidates" who have applied to date really don't matter (although some may be considered at the end). The Fargo media is still pushing for information because they'd like to embarrass UND. Once we get our guy, I believe he will be a well respected coach and the Fargo media will shuffle it's feet and put out a little blurb about the hire without near the fanfare this list got.

They (bison fans) are awful on the interwebs, but at actual games they're similar to most any other fan base. A few bad apples mixed in with a majority who are looking to have a good time and give a little back and forth (in good fun) to opposing fans. Their recent success in the only sport they care about has lead to bad apples being more prevalent than before, but there are still plenty of good fans there too.

Sioux fans = a combination of everything good and classy in this world Gophers and bison fans = the scum of the earth Hope that answers your questions.

Just because somebody applies doesn't necessarily mean he'd take the position. May just be checking out his options or even just looking to use it as leverage for a salary increase.

The disappointed face in my previous post was made at the "hot goalie" excuse. You can go ahead and un-bunch your panties now.

Even if Hak was to put up losing seasons the next couple years, he's not going anywhere before 2017 unless he chooses to. His salary would result in a much bigger buyout than the measly $175K that it took to fire Mussman. UND is well-off financially, but the $300,000+ per remaining year of his contract that would need to be paid will ensure that he is not let go before his contract expires. I have plenty of problems with Hak and I believe his system and stubbornness have resulted in multiple playoff losses, however, I can also see that he has put a quality product on the ice every year. Complaining about Hak is fine, but calling for him to be fired seems a bit extreme when you look at the facts. Worst season = 24-15-4. Frozen 4 in 5/9 seasons. Won the Final Five 4/9 years.

Didn't know that, but it'd make sense.

He was the DC for some very good UNI teams too. The fact that he's only been in Florida for 1 year makes me think he wants to get back to the Midwest.

I'm actually surprised that people of his and Dewitt's caliber have already applied. I figured it'd all be garbage until December.

I think some of those were their "most recent job" which would indicate they don't have a job right now. It's pretty common for people on unemployment to essentially spam government job openings that they know they won't get in order to meet the requirements to keep getting paid unemployment. I can't even find the high school coach when I do a google search so that might even just be a fake.

Looks like he could maybe be a punt/kick return guy. Don't see much other than that. Maybe he'll be the 155 pound replacement for our graduating 165 pound running back.

I'd say McFeeley is a dumbsh*t with an incredibly short memory......

Football doesn't have hot goalies though.....

Jovan Dewitt and Jamie Marshall both look decent. It doesn't look like Dewitt has had the greatest time at FAU, but it appears he did well at UNI. He's originally from Wisconsin, played at Northern Michigan, and was a DC at Northern Iowa. Seems like he'd be able to hit our recruiting areas fairly well or at least know people who can. Huh, he also played a year for the Fargo Freeze of the Arena Football League.

He's bounced around a lot.

I think I could get behind Thunder Horses though.....

I was attempting to reference Ron His Horse is Thunder, AKA thorn in Sioux nickname's side.

The Lady Norse?

Kristo was incapable of passing the puck. In his first 2 years, on the rare occasion that he tried to pass, the pass was awful. IMO, that was the area of his game that saw the most improvement over his 4 years at UND.

Free?

How about the His Horse Is Thunders

He does this a lot. Unfortunately, the other guys are never ready for the puck when it comes to them.
