What a discussion of futility that lasts indefinitely!
-
There might be a huge crack in the ROK! Que Sera SeraAnd the GF Herald blindly and blithely believed his story without doing any independent research.
It's ... always ... all about the Benjamins.
Last thought: If it got to the point where the head of EERC had do go, maybe someone with a big office on third deck in Twamley should face some scrutiny as well.

I might be insulted if this were coming from anyone but you . . .
It's either Ralph's or Roger's favorite joke, I'm not sure!

What do you call 10,000 barristers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start!
-
Anything north of Omaha after November 15th is a crapshoot insofar as weather, maybe further south and earlier.

The Oct 4th weekend will be of special significance in two areas:
1. Roger Thomas, a longtime personal friend, will be inducted into the HOF.
2. UND will play Montana U in football. Montana is a Great State because it is part of a special union called the United States of America. Having said that the griz suck!
-
Good report, it will show well on your record. I would believe that ROK views Faison as his guy.
-
-
ROK's roots are TCU and the Great State of Texas!
-
Except that it was Kupchella that hired Faison.
Check your facts on that comment. If I am wrong I will stand corrected.

Faison, in the main, might be OK as an administrator. He is definitely not a dynamic speaker, outward individual, or hard charger type personality. That is something UND needs right now. His biggest baggage might be the man who hired him, ROK. ROK has turned into a very liberal, politically correct hatchet man who, IMO, does not represent North Dakota core values. That would entail a sense of fair play, not jumping to rash conclusions, and being accessible to the average citizen on the street. He seems to be retreating to his ivory tower in Twamley Hall and forgetting from whence he came.
It sadly happens all the time and IMO was the same character flaw that led to Chapman's downfall at NDSU. I remember hearing Coach Dale Brown say many years ago that if you forget where you came from you will never get to where you want to go. I believe ROK is forgetting his roots.
-
Unfortunately, I may have to agree. I believe the University of North Dakota is capable of possessing better leadership on the administrative, academic, and athletic fronts. With that said, Kelley and Faison are both capable.
So was Scrap Iron Gadaski and the ever capable Kenny Jay from All Star Wrestling. How many did they ever win?
-
Who is everyone? Sounds like you have a turd in your pocket! Before it's all over I will have donated more money to UND than you have ever considered, but you will never hear about it because it will be done anonymously. That's the way most charitable work should be done.
-
That's the beauty of America everyone is entitled to their own opinion. At this point any one hired by ROK is going to be suspect in my mind.
-
Me too. If Faison fills the spot with NDSU fine, if he fills that and 2017 with a home and home of another DI team...even better.
Faison is a short timer and will retire soon, I don't believe he is the best man for that job. UND could and has in the past done better. I am starting to question the decision making ability of ROK. I don't believe he represents true North Dakota values. Hopefully he will be a short timer as well.
-
No. And, I think Dave Anderson went to NDSU.
I don't know Dave Anderson and could care less where he went to school!
-
The civil war is over move on. There are bigger fish to fry!
-
I believe President Lincoln said it best after the real Civil War "With malice toward none and with charity towards all" Probably damn good advice today as well!

That's harder than you make it sound.
Do you own Dakota Monument?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Inniger couldn't sell the hockey program playing in a freaking downtown arena, i don't believe anybody can. Even with the word "downtown" attached to that project, which is guaranteed to get some level of support, it went down in a landslide.
For goodness' sake, the forum is now endorsing a downtown convention center location which is projected to operate at an annual 600k-700k deficit, rather than the dome (projected at a profit).
There's just not enough support to add hockey at the ac in Fargo, even with a brand new downtown arena.
Inniger can only pick low hanging fruit. He couldn't sell a dead man a tombstone.
-
Hockey always has and always will domicile in Grand Forks. Fargo may host games, but that is about the extent of it. You can take that to the BANK!
-
What's with the guy blaming GT for holding back Bison hockey? I don't think NDSU has the money to start up DI hockey.
Even if they did have the money, it would not be a wise move!
-
The one thing a potential UND-NDSU game needed! And you have to love that both Bohl and Taylor will be gone; that will certainly hurt Ag school athletics! Heck, even Saul Phillips left! I guess NDSU isn't as irresistible and perfect as the aggie faithful declare.
Vindictiveness will not win the field! You will get more bees with honey than with vinegar!

Playing up to the highest level of competition, does not necessarily mean playing each other again.
