Mama Sue

I have posted this before... our son was recruited by many schools... his 3 visits were NDSU, SDSU, and UND ( which was the last visit and we could not see the top of the Holiday Inn for the snow). The night before signing day the letters were coming with better offers... He actually turned down hockey at UND, the fund kid... I would have taken out a second mortgage to see EVERY game... so he is standing at the dining room table with s full ride offer from SDSU and says... well I guess it is SDSU Mom. I asked why... his response was... a full ride, dad says go for the money (that is a husband with 4 kids to put through college). I said... turn those letters over and go to the college that will best prepare you for why you want to do for the rest of your life.... then it is UND Mom. I will be writing letters.....

Well said Ira.... perfect... sit down and talk.... whatever it takes... no anger or blaming but how can we improve this? Go for it!

Weii the real question is: Does UND want to become the Mary of our conference? If no, then money and “stones” come into play. By money I mean public (coach salaries and scholarships) snd private (phase 2 and some highly visible sponsorships at the Alerus). No one should have to define “stones.” If ok, or where we are now (apathy), then continue as is. I am not sure this is JUST a head coach issue.........really more AD and admin....... Five years ago I would read the top high school athletes and the colleges they were going to.... make and female.... maybe 5 to 8 listed UND.... now it is 1 to 3..... not just a head coach issue.

Could we include area high schools???? There were too many balls that landed at the 40 to 45 yard line....I don’t get it.

Seriously? No comment....

Too Young.....could ruin it for him.... needs some winning years as DC....would be great in his late 40s but not yet

This is what Zi mean about losses to save one player one year of eligibility...

Is the reason they don’t want to play the freshman QB so they can “save” a year of eligibility? Bad thinking looking at what we saw today... how many losses will there be for saving one year... play him now.... just IMHO

My turkey dinner was great!

Well that’s putting the best construction on it....

We can’t blame everything on the line.....seems to be enough blame to go around...

I think I like that freshman QB the best... with my limited knowledge.... looking for something good to come out of the locker room at half

We need to score here...

Thanks for inviting us... Cold here.... turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole at half time! GO SIOUX and I will wear my green t-shirt

Today is the day... go get ‘me boys!!!

WOW.... makes me wonder about scholarship money being spent wisely.... only looking at tapes... grades???... test scores....literacy level????

There must be some home field advantage with that red turf.

That red is weird.....

I don’t know what a swoop is but I think I like it better then the hawk...

280??

There is talk in MN about the conferences so large geographically and the cost to transport teams. Actually, some of the non-conference games are much further... picking the best competition in the state. This is from all sports... plus the MSHSL is in the red, big time. Usually the state hockey (and BB?) tournaments’ revenue funds many of the other state tournaments.

Exciting times GO SIOUX!
