Re: Getting our Paup back
this is great, however it makes me nervous that our second highest profile football alumni is coming back to the staff to work with of all things linebackers. The last thing we need is our two most high profile football alumni with a bad taste in their mouth about our program.
I mean this from a 100% message board discussion standpoint. I wish our program and Bryce nothing but the best. I hope he turns out to be the greatest assistant coach ever and gets a head job someday if those are his wishes. I just wonder about him and Farley sitting at a table together discussing game plan.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Re: Getting our Paup back
Wow - if everyone on the team doesn't want to be a linebacker at this point, I don't know what it would take to sway you. Hopefully Paup is able to thread the needle in the defensive coach Bermuda triangle.Last edited by Trapped in California; 03-05-2013, 11:48 AM.Comment

Re: Getting our Paup back
or our next long-term coach that went from walk-on to all-american & later one of the more successful UNI coaches of all time. Folks, this is potentially a terrific thing for UNI football.Originally posted by BCPanther View PostComment

Re: Getting our Paup back
I agree, this could be a great move. I would just hate to see a friendship and a relationship between a program and one of its more famous alumni ruined over what will undoubtedly be two gentleman with an extreme competitive drive...Originally posted by Mudrafan View PostIllinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Has anyone ever actually heard him say anything negative about UNI? Or is that just message board speculation?Originally posted by Codytwo View PostComment

Re: Getting our Paup back
I think the fact that he has not shown his face or really associated with UNI, specifically the football program, in any official capacity the last 15 years represents a fairly clear message.Originally posted by JayJ79 View Post
I know the AD has reached out to him the last year or so trying to reestablish a connection, as they would love to get him involved with the program once again, along with a HOF induction.
And on the topic of this thread, I think its just great to see Bryce Paup back on campus. This is a very good thing. We really need some positive energy coming in as far as our assistant ranks go, considering the turnover of the last couple years, and a guy like Bryce Paup is a guy that can fill that need IMO.Last edited by 06panther10; 03-05-2013, 05:15 PM.UNI FIGHT

he thinks he achieved "in spite" of UNI since he didn't start over a nearly undefeated Jay Johnson. Also, his wife now thinks they are too good for the Cedar Valley, her native home.Originally posted by Codytwo View PostComment

Re: Getting our Paup back
Kurt came to a game in the Dome during an off weekend after he got his start with the Rams. Why would he have done that if he had ill feelings? He also took the time to go up to the pressbox for a visit during half time."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Re: Getting our Paup back
And there's the whole endowed scholarship thing but apparently in this day and age he still hasn't contributed his "fair share" back to the university.Originally posted by Born-a-Panther View PostComment

Re: Getting our Paup back
The most interesting fact about his attendance at that game (at least for me)... His seat was in the stands, about half way up. He may have been a starting NFL QB, but it really didn't matter.Originally posted by Born-a-Panther View PostComment

Re: Getting our Paup back
It's just a lot easier to make things up and jump to conclusions on messageboard threads than it is to actually consider the facts, especially if you're always looking for a way to feel slighted.UNI isn't exactly splitting atoms in terms of academics. -run&bladeComment
