fight on sioux Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Did Mussman just say the Cavalry is on the way? I hope not. It's too early to talk about another name. Standing Rock can still vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was referring to the new recruits and athleticism they will bring. I just thought it was ironic that he used that word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 First NDSU Athletics throws a forty year working agreement with WDAY-AM/ForumComm under the bus by openly negotiating with a competitor (KFGO) for a new radio/media deal (after it was pretty clear the KFGO bid wasn't as good). Now NDSU continues the pattern of negotiating with a competitor (Sanford MeritCare) while still under contract (with Innovis).

Taylor is following the foot steps of Whiskey Joe...bigger is better. The contract issues are what is really suprising. Jean just seems to think a contract is only bidding as long as it fits his agenda??? His lack of integrity is starting to wear on lots of folks in Fargo, even among some of my faithful SU booster friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FargoBison Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nobody was stopping Innovis from cutting a big check to renovate the BSA. If Sanford wants to step up to the plate they should get the deal. NDSU switched from the Forum to KFGO for business reasons, bash Taylor all you want but his job is to do what is best for NDSU and not the Forum or Innovis Health.

I doubt anyone has too much bad to say about Gene - if they do they speak from ignorance. Read the article - NDSU was going to honor the contract to 2014, it was broken by Innovis. Please tell us all about integrity and how UND was being run by Ralph - how many presidents and AD's did he get fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take Dan's word for it. I think I see a lot of jealousy here with Sanford writing a big check. Did you also notice that it was Innovis that discontinued the contract? I have no doubt that your AD would turn down a check from Sanford and continue with Altru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, ndsu got someone to donate some money to help with a stadium renovation that has been needed for the last ten years. Not exactly earth shattering stuff. It happens everywhere including Grand Forks. I'm actually suprised you couldn't get a law firm down there to write the check with all the business Coach Bohl has brought into Fargo in the last year. Maybe thats where the money for the football office remodel came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that your AD would turn down a check from Sanford and continue with Altru. Also, yes Innovis did discontinue the contract but they only did so because they finally realized that a contract means about as much to Gene Taylor as the paper it is written on. I'm sure he had only nice things to say about Innovis while he was agreeing to meet all of Sanfords demands to get that check that hasn't even been written yet. Would you want to continue to provide services for someone who does business that way? Not saying either is right or wrong but you trying to paint Innovis as the bad person in this is laughable.

Empty. And your shots at UND and the Ralph now are equally as empty. bison fans made a joke out of the Ralph for years only to see their beloved AD who can do no wrong turn around and !@#$ on a 50 year relationship for a donation so he could finally get something done with the BSA. So which is it? Is what Taylor is doing as comical as he is? Or was the Ralph a great business move by UND? By the way just to clarify, Ralph was an alumni by the way and had a longstanding relationship with UND, no relationships had to be ended to get Ralph to donate the money. I think I know what your answer will be so do you like your crow served cold or should we warm it up for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that your AD would turn down a check from Sanford and continue with Altru. And how long has Sanford been is the F-M area? A couple of months!!! And they are still headquartered in Sioux Falls. A couple of months seems a little shorter than the almost 50 years NDSU and Dakota Clinic/Innovis were partners. G$n$ T$yl$r might be doing what's best for NDSU, but in this community integrity and trustworthiness still carry some merit...unless you work at ND$U. Joe was about the almighty $$$ and Jean is carrying on the torch. By the way, UND wouldn't have turned down the check...it would have just come from an alum!

star2city Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Sanford Arena What will $35 million buy the BSA? Will it get rid of the draft in the BSA? Allow seats, no benches? Will Sandford have them dig down to get a decent court, and risk flood issues? Is an outside makeover in the works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
