fightingsioux4life Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Call me crazy but I have more fun being the guy in the middle of the hometown minions who is cheering for the OTHER team. Much more fun. If I was in Fargo, hell yea I'd go. So you like being the fly in the ointment? That makes some sense. Of course, since you jinxed us at the 1998 West Regional Hockey Tournament, you have some penance to pay! Quote

tjamz Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 The tired old Rocky Hager excuse. Is this all you have? I have ZERO issues with Rocky. Never have. The scholarships were my point of argument. Now Bob Babich can eat a dick Quote
tjamz Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 That the reason that NDSU supposedly couldn't win anymore was because everyone had the same amount of scholarships? It had a definite effect on on getting the players we were used to getting. UND capitalized on it better than NDSU. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It had a definite effect on on getting the players we were used to getting. UND capitalized on it better than NDSU. At the time we had superior coaching and player development and in showed. Quote

jdub27 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It had a definite effect on on getting the players we were used to getting. UND capitalized on it better than NDSU. I guess people using the excuse that their team couldn't win because all of the teams had the same number of scholarships (level playing field) has always been a strange argument that I wouldn't personally make.

UND-1 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 There are TWO threads going for a game we are not involved in. Would all of you please move on? If we spent half this much energy talking about our own team maybe the interest would elevate and things would be improve quicker. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I guess people using the excuse that their team couldn't win because of a level playing field has always been a strange argument that I wouldn't personally make. Cutting scholarships takes away talent from top schools and gives it to others. Facts. Not overly complicated. Quote
jdub27 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Cutting scholarships takes away talent from top schools and gives it to others. Facts. Not overly complicated. Why was it that they couldn't win when the playing field was level? NDSU was not at any disadvantage compared to other schools. So why were scholarship limits that applied the same to everybody an excuse only for them? Quote

So why were scholarship limits that applied the same to everybody an excuse only for them? NDSU did a poor job of handling the situation. They were no longer able to stack the depth needed by offering scholarships. Thus some top recruits chose other schools. The other schools capitalized on this and NDSU couldn't overcome it. NDSU failed, UND didn't. It lead to the worst decade in recent ndsu football history. Quote
