interesting. I had no idea -

Jimmies have their new men's soccer coach.
Pro: they actually managed to poach a sitting D2 head coach, as he was previously the HC at Adams State in the RMAC from 2022-2024
Con: he had a combined 3-43-4 record in his 3 seasons there
He previously worked at Emory & Henry during their own D2 transition, so that plus the fact that he was a D2 head coach seems to indicate that Jamestown is at least committed to keeping their men's soccer program, seeing as they hired someone familiar with the D2 landscape and the challenges of transitioning a program. That said though... Were there really no better options?Comment

Maybe hiring a coach with RMAC ties will lead to an affiliate membership.Comment

They should form a soccer only conference with St. Cloud. That would be something.
Probably the most exciting thing to ever happen in North Dakota.Comment

Very early memory for me was driving to town to see the bubble fire. They kept the concrete structure and enclosed it in the new student center.Originally posted by Stanger86 View Post
Actually had a conversation about it a month ago when someone in SF recognized my Mustang sweater.Comment

FYI..I spoke with the UJ head football coach a few weeks ago. Nice guy and he’s very tuned-in to social media and they follow the message board talk as well.
It was quickly apparent that UJ has been paying close attn to the NSIC happenings and are heavily recruiting the area for their first season in D2. They will be scrimmaging another North squad in the spring, but I will let him mention that..as we will interview Brian Mistro (HC) during our spring NSIC show.Comment

A wise coach once told me "Coaches who read message boards are poor time managers substituting time of preparation for getting game day advice from the coffee club at McDonalds each morning" (assuming you mean these board posts by random fans and not the content in which you and others produce)Originally posted by Matt Witwicki View PostComment

From a poster going by the handle of Unknown. Ha.Originally posted by unknown View Post
Nope..I can tell you that is not the correct identify.
fwiw..most of the coaches under 55 read the forum in the past or still do. I’ve joked with them about it in the past and they’ve told me. I can tell you that two head coaches that I know fairly well that are sitting coaches in FCS would regularly ask me about certain posts and so forth. They go as far as asking me who posters were..real identity..to which I told them we weren’t going down that road.
If a coach is barely active on twitter, that’s probably the same coach who doesn’t check out the forum. Some longtime coaches have gone from lurkers on here to now just measuring the pulse of fan feedback via socials.Comment
