post spring game analysis

OK--thanks. Let's just hope he is doing better now, and, if he has to take summer courses, he gets after it.



P.S. I heard Note took mostly summer courses, as the "bell curve" method was much lower in the summer--as in students who had to take summer courses were normally challenged academically (He fit right in at about the middle, in other words).

I did not here that he was academically ineligable this Spring. What was said, from what I recall, is that he was not going to participate in Spring ball so that he could concentrate on his academics/grades. I interpreted that to mean that he might have been on the edge academically, and that having more time to focus on his class work would likely result in him being eligible this Fall. NO??!!

This was my original impression of the situation as well.

It has been said through several sources that Sigers is in fact ineligible. Had we made the championship game (insert crushed weeping here) he would not have been able to participate as this semester's eligibility statuses would have been applied.

Really, what sources? Coach Bohl? Coach Vigen? His mother's sisters cousin?

IMHO, this topic should be left alone. Hopefully he is back on the field this fall for his sake and the team.

I agree.

I would like to remember Mike as the fun-loving older brother of Carol and Ben and leave it at that.

I don't agree with that characterization at all. I don't know who you are citing as "several sources", but I only care what the horse's mouth says.

Bohl said he wanted Sigers to take the spring off to get his academics in order. He did NOT say he was academically ineligible. That is a big difference especially when players have become academically ineligible Bohl has simply stated that they were. He did NOT say that in the case of Sigers.

My understanding was that he did poorly in the fall and was just barely eligible. Bohl wanted him to get his GPA up and out of the trouble zone. I think Bohl was just being proactive and was acting on the advice of the academic advisors. The one thing Bohl has always exceled at is making sure his student-athletes are students first and that they take care of academics. He monitors this very, very closely which is why NDSU is always near the top in APR year after year.
