Typical loser no nothing response.... My bet is he is Mormon... you have probably not spent any time in UTAH or are lacking perception skills... Moronic of you to speak to what Pitino had Knowledge of for transfer purposes....His staff is very well educated on admittance and transfers.... OCT. 1 is NOT the final transfer deadline for most Uof M programs and any one involved with recruiting or in the process of applying for a transfer would be cognizant of that and would not have submitted a transfer request as Shanks did... Now crawl back in your hole for a couple months ...and learn to think a little before posting
I will just stand by what I said. It holds up just fine.
To the rest of you crazy cats - gonna miss ya. Even Darrell!! Go Hawks!!

Maybe he is Morman did that cross your brain? Academics were an issue at the U....if Pitino had offered him a free ride he would have been in. U of M much higher academic requirements and lots of students do not get accepted....Live and Learn!...have a nice day!
You lay sh&t down like you are "in the know". There is not one thing stated that is even close to a fact. Why would you do that? Your follow-up just exposes you as a fraud. If you are going to make weird stuff up - be good at it. "I think the Mormon culture appeals to him"? This is just bizarre unless you know he is a Mormon kid.
if you are going to be full of sh*t be good at it. You need to work harder at it.

Shanks not the sharpest pencil....Tried to walk on/transfer at the U of Mn.but grades were a no go....Not a good bet to be picky on a grad school ...plus I think the Morman culture appeals to him and they look in need of a Big
Good lord. Grades were not the issue at U of M. Pitino didn't know about October deadline for transfer students. School wouldn't bend rules. Rule wouldn't apply to a kid who was going to be on scholarship.
2). Why would the Mormon culture appeal to Shanks?
2). In your opinion, just what is the Mormon culture you refer to?

Just now, UNDColorado said:
Haha okay guy. This "tertiary" sport had 20 active alums playing in the NHL this season.
How many people will watch the game on TBS tonight and how many will watch the hockey game? How many people will watch the NCAA national championship basketball game vs hockey game? Tertiary. Nice little sport for some folks.

Also, SDSU does not have an eight time national champion hockey team playing this weekend with the national tournament on the line. It is safe to say we have a bit more going on than they do right now. Some of you need to take a step back from the ledge and pop a xanex.
Haha. Who gives a sh&t. It's a tertiary sport. No one cares. Make some moves. Get the band here!
-
I'm here. No band. No cheerleaders. Even the Jacks have band and cheerleaders. This may seem trivial but their absence to me is unacceptable. Implies that no one thought this through or some dumb people are making some decisions. A trip to NCAA basketball tournament is a wonderful marketing opportunity to showcase your university. Now, we will be the school that has fight song being played over PA. All the bands and cheerleaders were even at respective practice/media sessions yesterday. Weak damn sauce!

I can't believe I'm stepping into this... but I did post this on the women's forum yesterday after the tough loss.
I don't really like comparing the Men and Women as it's apples and oranges but for curiosity sake
Looking at the 5 year run in the Big Sky tournament for the Women is interesting
Year 1: Didn't qualify for 8 team field
Year 2: Took care of business at home
Year 3: Lost as the 6 seed in only game of tournament to 3 seed N. Colorado
Year 4: Upset by 9 seed Idaho State in Semis
Year 5: Upset by 7 seed Portland State in Quarters.
Reno has been tough on UND.
Now for the Men,
Year 1: Finished 3rd in the Big Sky Regular Season (which was the highest finish by a Big Sky Newcomer Men's team since the league's inception) Won a quarterfinal game, lost a classic Semifinal.
Year 2: Finished tied for 2nd....Won 2 games in Big Sky Tournament before losing in the final at Weber
Year 3: Lost year---didn't make the tournament.
Year 4: Tied for 4th, Won 2 games in tournament, losing in a classic semifinal to....Weber State
Year 5: Won Quarterfinal
Here's a question, who has more Big Sky Tournament wins since joining the conference? Men or Women?
As far as the D1 transition years are concerned...there was some good and some bad, but remember UND essentially went to Huff, Anderson, and Webb as freshman and the team got better each of their Freshman and sophomore seasons where they played their best basketball to win the post season tournaments.
I just think, that saying the women's program has been more consistent is a rather cloudy comparison at best.
Go UND
Move along. Nothing to see here. Analytics and data are not appreciated on this board. Only personal bias accepted.

You are right, this year he has put it all together. I am just concerned that this is an outlier and not the new normal.
We have finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 10th in the Big Sky. Which one of those would be considered an outlier?

Why take a jab at the hockey team. Glad they were there supporting the basketball player. Would it be nice if they were loud and pumping up the crowd, sure, but at least they were there. Was the soccer team there? Swimming and diving? Women's hockey? Each of the greek houses? On campus church organization, Etc? I guess it's just easier to single out the most popular and recognizable group on campus for not living up to your standards.
As for being late, what jerks. Maybe they were practicing? At church? Vandalizing university property? Studying? ... you should probably have them bring you a signed parental note for the next game.
No need to call out a group of kids for something as stupid as this. Prob could have just left it at, the Football team showed some great support.
Let's call it what it is. They are not well liked amongst the other UND athletes. I'm sure the basketball players could care less that they were there. And to be fair, basketball players wouldn't be caught dead at a hockey game.

after the top 100 these kids are mostly the same, and i'm not going to put any stock in rankings of kids when the recruiting services watch the non elite guys like twice per year.
Agreed. They are actually not watching at all. Ratings are simply a direct reflection of which schools have offered scholarships. It's a dumb !@#$ show really designed simply to make some money.

This is what Art said:
I bolded the point of comparing that to Mussman's highlight season, the 2011 GWFC title, which isn't saying much when you look at what Bubba did this year, and just think what a Jonesless team may accomplish (hopefully in the 17-18 season).
Wait a minute Darrell. This implies that you want the team to fail this year so Jones can get whacked. This contradicts what you said earlier about being a big fan and wanting the team to have great success this year.

And where are we now. Mussman won a GWFC title, look where he is now, and look where our football team is now. Sorry you get nothing for runner up. Bubba has a trophy to look at.
Oh my God Darrell, you won!! You finally got through to me with Mussman argument. You won! I really didn't think you could ever do it but you did it. You really did it. And A Bubba throw-in as well. Whew, glad we are done. Good luck to ya fella!

So what? He should have been canned over 2 years ago. Just like Mussman should have been canned when I started that thread. I am glad more and more people are getting on board with getting rid of Jones and wanting change than the same crap hand we have been handed every year he has been at UND.
You started it 5 games into the conference season. Finished runner-up in conference that season.

But to call out someone saying you want them to lose intentionally just to post on a Fire thread is absurd. I don't like Jones, there are lots who dislike them, but would someone actually cheer for the other team just to despise Jones? I have not or would not do that. If somehow this team racked up 15 wins in a row, crushed opponents in the tournament and made the dance, I would be more than happy, hell I would give Jones a lot of credit of turning this team around. But if we go .500 overall, limp into the CIT and lose in the first round, of course I am going to voice my displeasure like others have. But my loyalty will always be for UND, and I voice what I think is for the good of the school, just like I thought removing Mussman was for the good of football program, I see how that turned out.
Fair enough. Then wait until the season is over instead of being the first to jump to the "Fire Jones" thread every time they are having a bad half.

Are you going to whack a guy who has ZERO post season wins, lose to a transitioning DI team at home twice, have no conference titles, 4 winning seasons (3 of those in the Great West Conference), no wins against ranked teams, has won 4 games on the road against non-conference opponents (not including tournaments), and has a record of 130-174. Absolutely!!
Doesn't change anything I said earlier. You are one of the cats that gets off on us losing so you can get on this board and fire up the thread. You love it. You do.

So you arguing that the Big Sky performance hasn't been pathetic this year? Take intelligence pills.
So why doesn't UND play respectable DII teams like Augie, Mankato, Northern, or Moorhead? Again your need intelligence pills. Those teams have better coaching than we do.
Can you even get intelligence pills?

UND (8-13, 2-6) @ WIU (8-13, 3-5) 2/1 4:30 PM
in Men's Basketball
Posted
I’ve heard from several sources that the players have asked to work on free throws after practice and Jones has said, “no, no way, we are good from the free throw line”.
