Why would we want to play North Dakota anything?

Yep, that is the way I was raised and taught throughout my career. Every student was held to the same high standard of honesty and commitment. That is exactly why I like the Row the Boat mantra and expectations. You hold to your commitments or you get out.

Oh brother, what a twisting of a simple notion that the 10,000 fans who go to every game they reasonably can go to even when the team does not win all the time is some sort of attack upon you and your fan behavior is totally silly. I lived more than a thousand miles from TCF for 40 years and...

Would have won...?? Maybe.

You're not too good at this "decipher what those views are" thing, are you? Maybe one more time will allow you to understand. "A man is as good as his bond." "Always go....."? Drama queen.

You have to be in the games in order for the losses to be painful. Under Mason our superior coaching could work up a game plan that would often work, but eventually, the other teams coaches could figure out what we were doing and how to overcome those schemes. Then, like the TT game, they...

I bet you were all in for the huge Hail Mary play, the pass to the TE, that won us the Auburn game. In college you have to have the horses. At Minnesota you have to get the horses without cheating. Fleck may be the first coach we have had since the early 1960's who can get the horses here...

Since when has the law been equal to ethics? The young man broke his word, his commitment. I am amazed that some of you need to justify that as OK. It is not. Does it happen? Yep, especially amongst the less ethical.

Glen was fired because the U did not like some of the recruiting stuff that was going on.

His daughter was a student at Wisconsin. What flag should he have flown? Glen has been more, much more, than fair to us since leaving.

It is easy to be a fan when your team wins all the time or when a bad season is called four losses. That is why my real respect for fans falls on those fans, like 10,000 of ours, who have always supported the team by attending the games every year, thin, thick or more thin.

So, why do you need to comment on my view on this matter and who is shouting other than you and others? Not me.

Again, who got riled up? He decommitted, someone commented that his actions reflected poorly on him, someone else said it was absolutely no big deal that person breaks his breaking his commitment and then I dared to state my view that a "man's word is his bond". 90% of what followed is other...

"Today I should wear blue. No, I have changed my mind, today I shall wear green." That is "someone changing their mind". That is not what making a commitment is about. Making a commitment is a verbal contract to do something in exchange for something of importance.

I made a comment which reflected my opinion based on my values. Apparently that touched off your guilt over your lack of values in your life. Look how you and others have gotten all hyped over my single post reflecting a common view "that a man's word is his bond."

I was raised, apparently, in a different era. I do not know why you are getting "red in the face" over this.

That is not what the word "committed" means.

Fleck's contract clearly specified the conditions for him to leave. We had no contract with Regis other than his word, his commitment. Don't give your word unless you mean it, otherwise, guess what? You become known as a liar.

Ouch. "We be shallow."

I never committed to something until I was sure I wanted to do it. I thought that was what the word "committed" meant.
