[sioux2013]

I feel very good about our chances in the Big Sky this year and next.

[SWSiouxMN]

Next 2 opponents as of right now

UMKC 260

NDSU 92

UMKC 260

NDSU 92

If UND loses to UMKC you can forget about NDSU.

[darell1976]

http://usatoday30.us...rin/bkc1213.htm UND now plummeting in the rankings at #317 (second to last in the BSC) only SUU is worse at #338. UND needs some wins. Looks like our neighbors to the south has a lot of success so far. NDSU is at #56. Saul has that team on high. If UND keeps getting further behind then recruiting may become tougher unless Brian Jones recruits in a different region than Saul Phillips.

I'd suggest the region where the good basketball players are.

[gfhockey]

faison is to inept to make a change anyways

he doesnt mind driving und sports into the ground...this is his last job before retirmenet

no big wins for ny of the teams outside of hockey

[mg2009]

four teams in the big sky don't have a d1 win. At least one team's only d1 win was in conference.

[Shawn-O]

I was fortunate enough to be a student during the Vonesh/Gulseth/Boshee era, and saw what this program can be. It's Season 7 for Jones. Let's see how it plays out, but I'm inclined to say enough is enough....

That was a nice era. Is there any chance of getting Rich Glas back?

[Shawn-O]

No, but Phil Jackson is looking...

[darell1976]

No, but Phil Jackson is looking...

Wouldn't that be something to get him to coach UND. But could he alone shape UND into a mid major powerhouse? I think recruits could flock to Jackson due to his popularity. If he was a serious option I would have Faison do what he could to lure him, even pay him a lot more than Hakstol.

[WeAreNorthDakota]

It would take a lot more than just a big salary for Phil to coach at the college level. He had very generous travel arrangements with the Lakers his last few years and I doubt he would be willing to put up with connecting flights into non-major markets. And that's not to mention recruiting trips.

Throw in a suite at the Ralph. That should lure him in.

[WeAreNorthDakota]

If Phil were to actually coach here I'm sure we'd be seeing a lot more games played in the Ralph. I imagine he'd be nearly as big a draw as men's hockey.

Not to mention games on an ESPN network Media would be swarming all over UND.

[dakotadan]

Wow, not too hard to figure out that the Big Sky is a FCS football conference that puts their emphasis on FCS football.
