Minnesota to Upgrade Schedule

[happy]

I know this is against my better judgement, but I just can't resist to comment..............

Actually, after 10 years of Mason at the helm, I feel that I could have been named head football coach at UMTC and that alone would have sold out a game against Minnesota State Technical and Community College. At least that is what I gather from my uncle who is a UMTC alum, booster, and season ticket holder. The fan-base was very down on Mason.

I agree completely. Maturi is a smart guy. Maruri was smart enough to get rid of Mason (despite his track record of fielding winning teams and making bowl games, he was taking UMTC nowhere), and smart enough to get rid of Monson and then convinceing the legendary Tubby Smith to take over a floundering basketball program. He's also spent some time over the past year lobbying the higher-ups at UMTC to reconsider their policy against playing schools with Native American nicknames obviously for the specific reason that he wishes to get UND on their sports schedules. Like I said...........smart guy.

Considering that Maturi is such a smart guy, I wonder what he and UMTC fans think which is a bigger, more potentially entertaining and profitable rivalry to pursue is: One that dates back one season to a single game, or one that goes back 70+ years and has routinely had conference and national championship implications?

Hmmmmmmmmmm..............................................

Mn already plays in the Big Ten, so any team not in the BCS is a powder puff.

That's exactly the problem I have with those guys. They have this illusion that they're a lot better and a lot more relevant than they are in reality. That's what I meant by keep your ego in check.
