This makes me think of something I have never thought of before. So this guy already has offers from the aforementioned schools, but UND just offered him today. Am I understanding that correctly? So if that is the case, why would UND be later than the other schools, especially on a recruit that many of our main rivals also have interest in?

Mistakes are the best way to learn. The fact that it took him this long to recognize the mistake is troubling, but I'll bet it won't happen again. Consequences are too severe now.

I fortunately don't carry the heartbreak of the '80s teams because I was too young (born 1982), so I didn't have a grasp of what the '93 game meant until later. However, I get the feeling the next football victory over the Bison will be every bit as sweet for me as '93 was for you. The 2010s have been brutal watching those guys dominate.

I was feeling nostalgic last night, and watched the "good" parts of "When They Were Kings." Can't help but think that a repeat of the 1993 Sioux-Bison football game is on deck sometime in the next few years. Could it be 2019? The crowd noise in those games was unbelievable, too! Can't wait for those Dakota rivalries to amp up the crowds.

That is incredible!! I never thought that would happen, but even more shocking is that UND wasn’t good enough to be one of the two.

Fired with Mussman’s staff?

When was Luke OC at UND?

That is awesome! Who is Michael Kubes? Is he a HS coach?

LOL!!

I like our chances for a playoff run next season. We have enough good players that as long we're tough to coach against, we should be set.

Really, that was the whole basis of my original comment about what could have been.

And to think this change could have been made last year when Tom Miller asked Bubba if he was planning to make any staff changes.

I think (and hope) Bubba will either lessen his grip, or grip it with a fresh approach.

I wasn’t trying to convey that Bubba (or any coach) doesn’t care about whether they win or lose. But bubba knows which game next season would impact the program and its fans the most by winning.

What about one of the Heckendorfs? Keith https://goheels.com/staff.aspx?staff=677 Kole https://gojohnnies.com/staff.aspx?staff=88

Also, I've never met anybody. Never met Bubba, Rudy, Schmidt, Lennon, Thomas, etc., let alone some coach from a rival school. I'm just a fan.

Nope. Just looking at what he would bring to the table (based on an employer published biography, so take that with a grain of salt). Didn't even know his name until I went to the website.

Good to know. We should be in good shape then.

Yes. While statistically the defense was average to good, perception is that they had a hard time getting off the field. Get off the field, and let the offense go to work in its new scheme.

Also, what are the takeaways from 2018? Sadly, I didn't much to be excited about in the future. Another performance like 2018 and I will have to question Pryor's recruiting ability.

Good for them. Does that mean the Summit tournament for 2019 is in Vermillion (tournament champ) or Denver (regular season champ)?

What about this guy for OC? https://gobison.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1236&path=football

If there's one game Bubba would want to win, you know it would be this one.

Exactly!!

My co-worker and I were talking about this yesterday. I don't see this as an automatic Bison win. My co-worker agreed that he sees UND as the chink in NDSU's armor.
