Was one of the first in line, went to every game.
Attachment 8338
I went to NDSU just for the free tickets to games and figured out that if you showed up really early you got really good seats and made it through 2 seasons of football before dropping out. Yelled stuff at the visiting teams number 2.
My third semester I only showed up for flag football days in a phyed class. Dominated flag football. The T A asked me who I was. I thought I was probably going to get offered a tryout. I was wrong. She told me I better start showing up for class. I walked off into the sunset.
Turned out alright
Our Millertime flag football team dominated flag football for 3 years back in 1980 to 82. Won the championship twice and took 2nd once. We were mostly engineering and architecture students and beat the NDSU former football player team for one of the championships. That was a bloody battle on Dacotah field under the lights.
I went to Homecoming and the late season games. My folks were paying for much of my college so it was pretty much get home on the weekends and help with the harvesting. I will say Thank God for Slo Gin or I don't think I could have sat through all those cold games. Saw a lot of good games though, the Wacker and Morton era.
Insert comment about bedazzled jeans here.
I'd use the money for other sports. The coaches ndsu football loses currently seems to be about career advancement AND money. 40-50k isn't going to keep a dude here that wants an opportunity at a coordinator job somewhere solid or a position coach spot at a good place.
Could be wrong though.
All the coaches who don't deserve to be fired need some pay raises. It's not that they are underpaid, it's to keep them here and not be a transitional job.
I'd like to see a head football coach someday get closer to 750k because we take football as serious as G5 schools and that would essentially eliminate a Wyoming type job poaching. Klieman already is approaching a half million with incentives and bonuses so it's actually realistic.
I think we need to pay a head basketball coach over 400 some day. That will retain coaches and attract great candidates.
Non revenue sports I'm not a fan of huge raises but Mueller sure s hell deserves a raise.
I think if you're an assistant coach making 100k, a 40-50k raise is impactful. Enough to keep a 200k offer not look quite as attractive to sell your house and move your family
Gotta remember we got Klieman from UNI and money had to have some impact. Same with Messingham. I doubt he comes here without a competitive salary. And the coaching carousel Bohl went through ultimately lead to a 3-8 season
Well, it probably contributed but in reality Bohl’s inability to recruit a QB led to the 3-8 season. He went two consecutive years without signing a QB. At those press conferences the first year he said that they couldn’t put that much scholarship money into one position, the second year he said there were NO Division I QBs in their recruiting area, which was across 8-9 states. It was pure bullshit. The lack of an effective QB group that could compete with each other for the starting job is what ultimately led to a 3-8 season.
