SIUGRAD99 Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Hello from a SIU alumnus. I wanted to come make a thread on your site to say Thank You for allowing us to hire your coach. SIU fans know exactly what it is like to lose a coach that did so much for our program. We have lost Bruce Weber to the University of Illinois for Basketball, Matt Painter to Purdue University for Basketball & now Jerry Kill to Northern Illinois. It sucks and I wish there was a way to make it feel different, but SIU fans have come to realize that while we are losing a coach we are gaining respect. UND is quality program that will be a wonderful addition to the FCS. I am confident that you guys will find someone to keep your program on course and continue to develop into the same level of success that you are used to at the D2 level. Feel free to stop by Saluikitalk.net anytime and chat with us. We are very lucky to have Coach Lennon become a Saluki, but know that deep down inside he will always be a Fighting Sioux. Best Regards, Scot Quote
SIUGRAD99 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Posted December 29, 2007 Your welcome...and you owe us one. Yes we do owe you, if you ever make it down to SIU (Maybe UND can open the new stadium in 2010)? I'll buy you a drink Quote
SiouxMD Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Yes we do owe you, if you ever make it down to SIU (Maybe UND can open the new stadium in 2010)? I'll buy you a drink Carbondale? How far is that from the center of the universe? I will have to MapQuest it... Quote
SiouxMD Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Carbondale? How far is that from the center of the universe? I will have to MapQuest it... 1060.42 miles from Grand Forks, ND. That sure is a long way...how about you guys come to Grand Forks. Remember you owe us one. Quote
redwing77 Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 We'll send him a bill. Nice post. Very respectful. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Carbondale? How far is that from the center of the universe? I will have to MapQuest it... Carbondale actually isn't that far for me. I think it's about 4 hours. I drive through it everytime I go back to NoDak. Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Your welcome...and you owe us one. Beat NDSU next year. Quote
SalukiBand Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Carbondale is about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis and about 300-350 miles south of Chicago. Quote
dlsiouxfan Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 A UND- SIU game would be interesting wherever it's played. Hopefully, it gets done. Right now I can't say anything would please me more than to see the Fighting Sioux hand out an ass-whooping to their old coach. Quote
