    Maybe it was the overall hipocrasy regarding anything NDSU, or maybe the 150 papge thread disparaging NDSU student athletes?

    if you don't understand the differences you're being tone deaf. I hope it's intentional.

    Wow. For being a sport that doesn't matter down south, Volleyball sure is getting a lot of attention from the FU faithful.

    Faison has handled this situation correctly as unfortunate as it may be. To say he didn't know about the first DUI when he stated there were disciplinary actions put in Hardee's file is pretty dumb. He's not going to lie about that.

    Exactly... if he was covering up why would he have openly brought that first offense to attention? Maybe it's reverse psychology to confuse us Dakota rubes...

    Faison is no nonsense. He's pretty swift and holds people accountable for their actions. Here's hoping he finds lightning in a bottle twice with his coaching searches, but I am for one, am sincerely happy with his job performance. We are lucky to have him. Big Sky, new conference, cajones to fire what sounded like a friend in Mussman. I still think Hardee was a great coaching find (if you think you can predict DUI's than congrats to you are having higher expectations and being a better person than me), Jones seems to be working out (I still have my reservations), and he's installed an accountable atmosphere. If you don't think things like kids getting too drunk at a party happened years ago without any public indication, you're delusional (at any school). If you don't think it still happens, you're delusional. The difference is, while you can't change the culture and awe of 18-20 years having no one looking over your shoulder for the first time, you can let them know there are serious consequences and it's not tolerated. Kids missed games for the party (sure call them meaningless what were they supposed to do, hold off the suspension until it really hurt? you do this stuff chronologically), kids have missed games for underperforming in the classroom or missing class. Paul LaDue is missing a pretty important Friday night hockey game this week for a loud party citation. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time recently with athletes from both SU and the home of the Sioux, I can tell this happened before to athletes with no fanfare, punishment, or even acknowledge besides maybe windsprints. Faison is showing he's guy with character, and I think we are lucky to have him.

    I'll tell you one thing, if we get a big win next year in VB, you won't see him crying in postgame interview about how everyone involved is all of a sudden innocent and a hero for overcoming such scrutiny.

    Driving around drunk with athletes in the car and damaging a rental cause is a fire-able offense in itself, then take into consideration that he already had a write-up in his file. The lawsuit that could possible come from this is huge if something more serious happened, this has nothing to do with a cover-up. Employee investigations are done in private, and we as the public shouldn't be allowed to see it until it is finished. This is the right thing to do plain and simple, and I applaud Faison for it, he had no other choice.

    I agree.... it was sarcastic and shot at the "it's a cover-up" crowd.

    I think Plfu (copyright in advance to Dan Hammer) is the best candidate that's applied. Like most though, I think the best is yet to apply. Maybe beggars can't be choosers, but is anyone else worried about the postseason success of the offensive style he has. It hasn't had championship postseason success at any level.

    Call me captain nitpicky. It would be fun to watch though, especially with Mollberg, McGill, GoGo, and Carr

    Tracy Claeys is a preposterous. He may have a shot at a power conference job. If you wanted a coach from that staff, maybe you could sniff at Matt Limegrover, the OC. He is the one calling offensive plays. However, realize that how tight knit that group is. If they have been together for so long, they wouldn't just leave for a pay cut and what they think it is a grade A opportunity.
