It has nothing to do with these games nor how they recruit. It’s part of coach speak. Gaber’s comments pretty much made it clear. Once the puck drops the players need to play. If these guys play up to their full capabilities they can take the next 2. It’s a big challenge. It will be interesting to see how these guys respond to adversity. What’s getting old is a team underperforming and nothing changes with this coaching staff other then coach speak. #culture 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that matters right now is tonight’s game. I think we can win. This team has struggled this year but they can still make the playoffs. The negative comments about culture have little merit in my opinion and show no insight as to why we have struggled this year. It’s the opinion of a number of others and my opinion in the mind of those folks probably has no merit either. I’m ok with that cuz regardless of the success or failure of our athletic teams my life doesn’t change. We can win tonight if the guys play well every minute of every shift and DeRidder stays sharp. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out but there we have it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I think the culture thing keeps coming up because Berry keeps preaching it but his players aren’t living it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Or daughter is sharp enough to know "dad can't know" but missed the appearances dogma.... Maybe it was just a way to keep an unknown from getting the item. I like to assume people are good until they prove otherwise. It costs me at times, but it is the way I want to live. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Did "dad" know? We'll never know apparently; the media has lost interest. Did the TM possession move from "negotiating" to "turned over to UND" in a day when it came out? Yup. That sounds like "dad hammer", whether he knew or just found out. But if UND was "negotiating" why wouldn't it get back to him if he didn't know before. Questions ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Brad had more knowledge than most people believe. The quote was that he directed his daughter to do so, secretly. What he knew and when he knew is a different (and fair) argument. The comment about it being taken care of relatively quickly once BB's name was brought in to it seems to lend credence to the theory he wasn't involved and once he was, it was sorted out in very short matter.

That being said, it wouldn't answer the questions surrounding recruitment and player development. Next season will be a big one for both this coaching staff and the program as a whole.

Making the NCAA’s and losing the first round can still be a positive as this team has been DOA for two months now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
