You know what is really cool?  K-State's logo. Those Big 12 guys are marketing wizards.

Why does the University of North Alabama's logo have an egg in its mouth?

So there are two coaches for the game tomorrow night? 

Does CK step down?

Does SU fire CK?

Does CK get in an heated arguement with Entz like he did with Boyle?

Totally different situation. Whole process was handled differently. Bohl's departure was a shock and came out of nowhere. Klieman rumors had been going on ever since Gene Taylor got the job with Snyder's days numbered. Entz and Klieman are from the same town and Klieman brought him to NDSU. What Entz does with this staff will be the most interesting. It's Klieman's job until season is over, but if NDSU wins tomorrow, you better bet Entz will be running the program over break.

So then, why didn't CK take Entz with him to K State?

We were talking about that yesterday, the egg really sticks out. That has to be one of the ugliest logos.

Good question? Same reason CK didn't go with Bohl to Wyoming. Only get so many opportunities to be a head coach in your life.

Would Augie count next year? Asking for a friend.

Coach Entz has a great opportunity, no doubt. Now you do understand, we will do our best that it isn't on our account, starting on September 7th?

2018, one game left in the Flatland. Today two cow cawledges playing in the manure pit?
Thinking a tie would be the best, till at least the cows come home!

Predictions for semifinals:

Bizen blow the doors off the wabbits.

Eastern Washington beats whoever they are playing. 

Edit*  Eastern beats Maine.  Google.

Saw this on Twitter....just so desperate to be big time. Sad and funny at the same time.

Ha. Unless they are providing comedic content on a daily or evenly several times a day like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez....that is pure comedy gold. Sometimes the best humor as in the tweet above is unintentional humor.

Sometimes I think there is no way people could be that dumb... you can’t fix stupid.

This must be the year to change football coaches all over, at every level....college and pro. 

I think it is safe to just wait and see...GO SIOUX!

[Cratter]

If only they were able to hide the "best value" and "lowest price," it would have been a more convincing argument.

The FCS semifinal game in a dome is clearly a more desirable ticket than a game played outdoors near the ocean.

Duh.....

This is probably the lamest thing I have ever seen in my life.  You would think a fanbase that has experienced that much success wouldn't have to try and convince everybody how great they are.  Embarrassing.

This was geeky fanboy Swanson on Twitter.

Look at the trajectory of head coach placement if you are Entz.  Wyoming - Kansas State - Alabama

Who cares about Hakstol, Berry, NCAA hockey, hockey-obsessed UND-ignorant Las Vegas-based donors, etc. in the context of this discussion??

UND hockey has no place in this current discussion. FCS Football and NCAA hockey are really becoming (and I guess always have been) apples to oranges comparisons. 

We all know which is more popular (hint: which sport is more popular). Although I love UND dearly, I hate the comparisons between FCS Football and NCAA hockey. For one, they always end with UND’s fans looking beyond stupid. It is what it is. You’ll only hear “JV football” and “big boy real DI like UND hockey” come from the mouths of jealous, ignorant UND hockey fans. No one else. Face it folks, NDSU’s FCS football success has earned them more popularity than UND men’s ice hockey ever could. Going to Vegas or NYC once every few seasons for a bought destination game (not earned) doesn’t justify that either. I just hope UND’s football program can start reaching the postseason for a start ...

And who is Boyle? You mean Craig Bohl? I doubt there will be an argument this time around. I’m just hoping South Dakota State pulls the upset, although that too is doubtful.

Were you waiting for your moment there?  Think he was just making the point that we had a quicker coaching turnaround when we lost our head guy to a different level.  

Like it or not we can't compare our FB program to theirs, so you are going to get comparisons of our top program (hockey, sorry) to NDSU.

Didn't miss a single home football or hockey game as a student at UND, does that make me an ignorant hockey fan?

No and No, but you still may be ignorant.

Facts: UND and NDSU football not only are both FCS football programs but they are soon to be in the same conference.

Thus, of course they are comparable. You haven’t detailed a single reason why UND football can’t be compared to NDSU football. Furthermore, you haven’t detailed why UND hockey is more comparable to NDSU football other than they are the most successful programs for their respective institutions. That being the only similar metric does not create translatability. They are different sports; of which, the NCAA classification system is completely different for both.  

Bottomline: unless you can prove how comparing an NCAA hockey program to an FCS football program makes more sense than comparing two FCS football programs head-to-head, keep UND hockey out of this football discussion. You can go to the hockey thread if you wish to expand.

I get you hate the hockey program.  You don't write a three paragraph diatribe if you don't (that's okay).  What I was getting at is that its basic human instinct to compare one's best attribute to another when a similar may be lacking.  And its leaning towards ignorance when the popularity of sport argument comes up because if that was all that mattered we would be talking about our soccer programs.

One reason UND hockey is comparable to NDSU football?  National Championships?

Can't wait to play the Bizen every year in football again!  God bless!!!!
