sioux goo Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Yes, one thing a famous coach told me many years ago was one of the worst things is to have is an athletic director who is around all the time before the game, after the game and constantly in contact with the players. Well, Maturi is that type -- he and his wife, Lois, even went to Orlando on Thanksgiving to watch the Gophers in their tournament -- and was in the locker room after the Clemson loss, and at that point, no doubt he decided it was time to make a move. Not sure if anyone saw the LTC on the sidelines...and then after the game when coach Lennon had his team huddled on the 50 yard line...there was good old LTC...right behind the players listening to what coach had to say....pretty sure...this is not his place....or doing push ups in the locker room....I bet I know who that coach was who told him that too...The General I am sure...the same guy the LTC would not take a phone call from when suggesting a coach??

choyt3 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 So, Sid Hartman is now the authority on the "rold" of an Athletic Director? Well, I guess Sid did create the Lakers franchise; was instrumental in getting the old Washington Senators relocated to Minnesota; not to mention the overall success the Vikings have attained in their history; and who can forget how he was able to convince the lawmakers at the state capitol in St. Paul that they needed to build a hockey arena so that the NHL would expand back to the state. Maybe Sid could use someone to bring him some clean, fresh towels. Quote

PCM Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Uh, what or who is LTC? Lt. Col. Tom Buning. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Lt. Col. Tom Buning. Thanks. Maybe, it's because I'm a little under the weather but I'm confused. Is the first post the article? And why is a General calling Buning about a coach? Quote

Clayton..I believe you have made that comment my direction another time...and it was as funny this time as last time....and your right Sid Hartman and Bobby Knight who is the person that told him that comment...have not been around the block at all...Sid has seen more in life and athletics than you would ever hope to see same goes for the General...Mr. Bobby Knight!!!

Not making the comments at you per se. It's just a general comment. Read into it whatever you wish. Along the same lines as Leigh Jeonotte, why do you still collect a paycheck from UND? Disgruntled employees are no good in any business situation. They do nothing for the company, or school in this case, except attempt to bring down the employees that are truly valuable. Your comments on here that continually belittle Mr. Buning and his staff are getting quite tiresome. If there are issues that you have problems with at UND, then do something about it. Bringing things up that can not be substantiated in an anonymous manner here sure isn't going to solve anything. Quote
yekcoh Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Its like getting used to a new pastor at a church. It takes time to get used to how the new guy runs the program. And they seem to be the new guy for about 5 years. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I guess I'm still confused as to why this was posted.... I like Buning. I like to see him on the side lines pumping up the crowd, doing push ups, etc. I like his mingling with the masses and his wife mingling with the masses as well. My son enjoyed seeing Mrs. Buning having a good time at the FF last March. If a 24 yr old can say that about a, uhm, slightly older person, than you know they have to be ok. I don't know and don't want to know the politics involved here. I'm really not sure what this thread is about but, you know me, I just have to get my 2 cents into everything. Quote

The last time I took Sid seriously (1986!)....he had a portable 8-track tape recorder in his hand! He's a dinosaur!! Someone might want to clue him into electricity? (after all, Thomas Alva Edison was a classmate of his in HS! ) Quote

He used to be the offensive coordinator at North Dakota State University. Quote
