Yes, everyone is aware of that. But you then tried to spin it by comparing this particular instance to other situations that aren't comparable. Again, the point is, quit screaming that the sky is falling when you don't actually have any of the facts to the story. And when people try to explain it to you, like some other did, don't just dismiss it because it doesn't fit your negative narrative. 21 minutes ago, fightingsioux4life said: There is a proven history of UND losing coaches to lateral moves, with the coaches making more money at their new location. 1 hour ago, fightingsioux4life said: A downgrade job.....with a higher salary.

CMSioux Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 St. Thomas is a private university sitting on a pile of money, with boosters that write big checks whenever they need it, nestled in the heart of Minneapolis. They will have no problem settling in to DI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most private schools in the area cost that much or more but I have always wondered what they do with all of that money.

On paper, the defense will be worse than last fall and will be miles from some of his previous D's. Joel will need to be a magician for the D to be even average. Why do you think we will be worse on paper this year than last year. I would think BH would have left last year if that is what he was worried about, we lost a ton on defense going into last year....from the previous year. This year most are back. Our corners have more experience, hopefully Buckner has picked things up at Safety....and Fort is healthy, we got a few DL transfers I believe. Haven't done a thorough look through to compare, but I think on paper we are slightly better than last year. We were pretty bad last year though, so only slightly better on paper still isn't really that good. Defense will still be our biggest concern and likely our biggest weakness this fall. Our offense is going to have to carry us again, and I am just hoping our Defense makes some timely plays when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our offense is going to have to carry us again, and I am just hoping our Defense makes some timely plays when needed. BH thought he had more going into last fall, than he actually had. Never came together. For all of our sakes, I hope you are correct. Last years D was not good by any stretch of the imagination. We gave up over 30 points a game, 10 points more per game than in 2021. We all knew going in with what had been lost from the previous year, I was hoping for improvement as the year went on and some guys would step up, It did not happen. IMO, Even Krzanowski and Siegel had weaker seasons in 2022, due to the lack of supporting cast around them. DL is still undersized and lots of question marks after the first 3, LBs are super key in a 3-4 and I have question marks at all 4 positions. Siegel will be strong, and Kaupinen is a liability in coverage, the other CB and safety are unknowns. Again, hopefully I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, wait … you truly believe you shitting on everything UND and pumping up everyone else on a college message board is a difference maker? You’re an anonymous poster stating the obvious 98 percent of the time. It’s like the blow hard on talk radio who’s got all the answers to society’s ills. Practical listeners with perspective know that, if Mr. Blow hard magically would be put in charge of the world, the tune would change as reality would set in and the realization of the task at hand would suddenly become evident. Success for Mr. Blow hard would be neither inevitable nor impossible. What would be inevitable, however, would be the respect he would gain for the grind, the challenges, and the process. I’ve felt like i’ve said this 116 times before but here goes —we all pretty much feel the same way as you, we just amplify our hopes and frustrations differently. For me, i praise in public and criticize in private to the people who are involved. But i’m not an asshole to them. You do you. But it’s never as bad or as good as we think. You and a couple other tough love warriors on here come off a bit thin skinned in the face of the no-nonsense, no-excuses personas you put out there. There are posters on here who I have the utmost respect for, such as Geaux Sioux, Ira, Shep and Sic, who many times will say thing that are very biting criticisms of UND, but they balance things out from time to time with other kinds of hot takes that make me want to come back for more and excited to be a UND fanatic! That makes things fun and interesting and more believable, as it doesn’t come off as a bit or a schtick. Again, things are never as bad or good as we think. Go Hawks! Go UND! 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
