My favorite Kennedy quote:

How do you get the community to embrace the Fighting Hawks name?

"Win a National Championship."

Later President Kennedy added,  "Ask not what your nickname can do for you, ask what you can do for your nickname."

[Risky]

Apparently not a shining moment for either of the Fargo(NDSU)  media outlets.    It is a sad day when people do anything for ratings no matter what they might really feel.

[UNDvince97-01]

McFeely is a blowhard ndsu mouthpiece and wannabe shockjock.  He's a total clickbait/ratings whore and always has been.  I'm not sure why anyone is surprised.  Professionalism is not his forte.

Heitkamp is a weather vane.

Nothing new to see here...just another day in the Fargo media.

[UND1983]

Ever since he moved to 970 I have not heard him criticize NDSU one time and I listen 3-4 times per week.  Very strange how his tone has changed.  He used to mock their fans when at 790 and try to get them riled up but now its all positive or nothing at all.  

[Risky]

There is a reason for that.    He is kissing NDSU butt big time because he is trying his best to get all NDSU fans to make sure they come over to WDAY to listen to his show.  He his building his fan base.  Not a better way to get NDSU fans to listen to your show than fall over NDSU and  cause trouble  for UND.     Instant ratings.

That would make sense.  His twitter account is all positive NDSU, too.  Very few jabs if any.  Funny.

Joel heitcamp was the same way today

asking about stem cell research votes while in congress and if our medical school does that kind of research and also on interest on student loans

he didn't take the bait on this either

why make it political?

heitcamp should return his diploma and get one from the a.c.

You actually think Heitkamp is a college graduate.  He's a drop out.

... it was a poor interview and Kennedy did a good job not taking any of the bait.  

This is where The Honorable (former Congressman) Mark Kennedy should thrive: He's had "media jackals" (c) Jesse Ventura try to bait him more times than we can count.

Cringe-worthy. Wow...

Things actually said by McFeely in a 5 minute window:
-Are you trying to start a fight by saying calling UND the Flagship University on a Fargo radio station?
-Implying UND will have to shrink due to budget issues, while in the next breath stating NDSU has a goal of growing to 18,000+.
-Are you going to be flying coach or first class to Turkey?
-What’s more important in the sports world, FCS football or Division 1 hockey?

Kennedy answered everyone one of the questions perfectly, not sinking to the host's level while making him look like a fool for asking such dumb questions on a couple of them.

I do think it's weird he wants a hockey game on the moon by the end of the decade

He has dealt with the "top" of the media profession in Washington, DC, local yokel media types in Fargo, ND will not be much of a challenge for him.

President Kennedy handled  the answering of questions perfectly.   McFeely almost  seemed to be threatening Kennedy to   not say that UND was the flagship station of the state anymore,  and he called the President    "PAL ",   I would think that President  Kennedy must of been thinking who is this Bozo.   McFeely  sure knows how to make a good first impression.    President Kennedy took the high road but must of been laughing at  him.    McFeely calls the new President  PAL for no reason.  He should be very proud.   Welcome to the Fargo media.   It is fun to think about how differently that interview would of been handled if that were the new NDSU President.

After you've stood in the batter's box in the majors a Class AA curve ball is something you use to build up your batting average, slugging percentage, home run totals ...   

[The Sicatoka]

I just started listening to the podcast ... is McFeely drunk? 

[Dagger]

Very classy interview by McFeeley.  This is his first interview with a brand new President.  Wow.  Maybe he had been drinking.  You never know.

Kennedy was just on the McFeely show.  Mike tried to get Kennedy to put his foot in his mouth multiple times regarding enrollment targets, flying business or coach, hockey vs. football and others but the new president handled himself very well.  

I live in Fargo and I don't always realize it but McFeely and other Bison fans really feel threatened by UND.  There is no way that Mike would ask those questions to Brescanni.  

I have lived in Fargo for over 20 years now. There is a serious Marcia, Marcia, Marcia jealousy from NDSU towards UND.

McFeely jumped on President Kennedy when he mentioned that UND was the Flagship school in the state.    McFeely said that people in Fargo think NDSU is the Flagship school.   

Should have said "Really? That's adorable" and patted him on the head.....always works for me.

So he has a better education than anyone with an NDSU diploma. Thanks for letting us know.

That's the arrogance we all love and know from UND people.  Jealous of what?

No idea? The obsession is bizarre.

[Nodak78]

Prez Kennedy had McFooly for lunch.  wow.   You can tell McFooly had not done any research for that interview other than a quick 5 min google search.

Maybe it's just an obsession right Dan.
