I know I've shown you the love before, but you are seriously way too civil and normal to be a sue fan

He'll be an outcast among his peers if he keeps it up.

I never thought of that! You better be careful FS23!!

You also have to add in, "they are recruiting too many smaller players"... as if those smaller, skilled BC teams haven't been whipping on UND in recent times.

Apparently you have to add this one as well. From Sioux Sports:

As is with all of these recruits that commit to other teams it is probably a good thing as he will either not pan out or be gone in a year or two.

It must be sad to act like that. I always wish all the kids well, wherever they go.

I think he's already abandoned us and gone over to the Pioneers side.

Obviously a nice pick up for Minnesota. It will be unfortunate that those of us who won't be associated with the Big 10 won't get to see much of him in a college uniform.

I do think johnnypohlfan may have stretched it a bit about overconfidence on North Dakota fan's part about landing Taylor. I don't spend much time on ss.com, but the few comments I saw over the past year or so seemed generally resigned to the fact that he would likely end up at Minnesota.

But it's all good.

While I may have chosen to go to law school at DU, I will always, and forever be true to the University of North Dakota.

You can become a mole infiltrating the Pioneers. It seems to be popular these days.

I don't doubt that was posted. Johnnypohlfan just posted that people on ss.com were so sure UND would land this particular recruit. I simply commented that I thought that was a bit of an exaggeration. The majority of the posts I saw commented about what a great recruit he would be to land, they were please UND was going after him, but in all likelihood he would head Minnesota's way. That's all.

Classic Susie rhetoric.

I mean no he's on to something, every single player that doesn't commit to Siouxage nation turns out to be a bust and they only get the guys that pan out.

Comedy gold right there.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

They said the same thing about Rau

Re: 2011-12 Minnesota Season Thread (Pride On Ice Returns!)

They just got the news. Countdown until the "we didn't really want him anyways" and "it's not about who you recruit, it's about how well you develop them" comments start has begun.

I've read the same at gpl. Look, Sioux fans have their issues but sometimes it's ok to just let stuff go.

Re: 2011-12 Minnesota Season Thread (Pride On Ice Returns!)

Always fun to get good news, sounds like he's a hell of a player

While I may have chosen to go to law school at DU, I will always, and forever be true to the University of North Dakota.

Translation: DU fans rejected him. It's how they roll, they're snobs.

It doesn't upset me. I just laugh at it
