Anderson on course for all-time greatness

When Amy Anderson said this week that she’s gotten advice from everybody under the sun in the last couple of weeks, you can assume correctly that included sports agents who are trying to be first in line for her possible marketing exposure.

The NDSU golfer has potential in more than just a super sharp golf game. She has poise and communication skills far superior than most 19 year olds, something that was evident at the U.S. Women’s Open when national TV exposure hardly phased her. She’s a 4.0 student and that was easy to spot, but also throw in good eye contact and a steady rate of speech ( and this is stuff that most college freshmen in Speech 108 go sleepless over).

She has a couple of national summer tournaments left, but I have to believe she will give a Division I individual national title a run the next couple of years. She’s getting stronger off the tee, she has national tourney experience and her game is not showing signs of leveling off. She could very well leave NDSU in two years as the all-time greatest athlete ever.

    Thats my top 10 (in terms of best ever athlete) competition of D1 elevates most of these, augustana,morningside,und,omaha doesnt mean much)

    Most of these did their work vs nations top players.

    • good points. Woodside, Amy & Roehl are only 3 to be a top story on Sportscenter. Judging by Nationwide appeal, those 3 have to be ones to fit that criteria I guess of best athlete’s at NDSU.

      • I am extremely proud of Amy and the way she handled herself. She played very well in the beginning. But you have to be able to finish strong as well. Only time will tell if she becomes a Bison great or not. I do wish her well.

    • Why can’t you just end your statements by recognizing the athletes? Why do you always have to go after other schools and open this blog up to the trolls? You are the one who is constantly whining that this is a “Bison” blog yet you always take a shot at another school thus making it an open invitation. Plus, is it necessary to down play the achievements of past Bison athletes?

    • Sorry but Phil Hansen and Steve Nelson had long and successful careers in the NFL. Amy Anderson may give them a run for their money but how do you argue with Phil Hansen starting at defensive end in 3 Super Bowls.

      • Amy got more pub in 1 day nationally then a DE on a nfl football team did.

        • Thing is, no one cares about women’s golf!

          Ask anyone who the winner of the Open was last week?
          Ask anyone who the name of the Bill’s kicker is who went wide right against the Giants in the Super Bowl 10+ years ago?
          Guess who you get more correct answers to.

          • I seem to remember Phil picking off Dan Marino in a playoff game that was run on ESPN over and over for a whole weekend. I looked for Amy on ESPN and did not see her. Unless you watched the golf channel (yawn) she was not on nationally that much. However, she sure did raise some excitment for NDSU and I hope she becomes a household name and goes on to greatness. Great Job Amy.

    • “augustana,morningside,und,omaha doesnt mean much)”

      Either does Concordia St Paul, Ms Valley State,Central Conn, Wagner,Northeastern, No. Western State, Valparaiso, Tusculum

      what a tool.

    • That is a good top ten Lakes. I hope Amy stays around and takes a shot at a golf individual national championship. Maybe now some of the other great golfers coming up in Fargo-Moorhead will decide to stay at NDSU instead of going to a southern college. I do understand why they go there, the great weather and playing golf year round, and I don’t fault them for that.

    • You just put down every Bison who isnt on your list when you denigrated the competition they played against. Why do you have to be an ass on such a regular basis?

  2. Kevin, itll be allright, hope those auggie’s dont hate! Past is Past, future is bright, these players right here, right now would beat the 1985 team 28-10. Too much speed & 320+ lineman.

    Off to moondance, ill have this argument with Satter,thor & pudenz at thier NDSU tailgate rig at south entrance

  3. Here’s to lakes losing his cellphone. That would give all us at least a couple days reprieve.

    • Thats because he has no other place to go. Banned from BV. Banned from NDSU FB games. Banned from Tailgating at NDSU. He had to land somepalce.

  4. Wow , Hate is your best friend, congrats. Its always the losers who get personal when they have nothing left in life but hostility & abuse

    • No hate involved. Just stating the facts. Losers get banned from college sporting events. Hows that glove fitting you.

  5. Lots of guys starting 2 a days on their own @ NDSU. Dedication is looking good, the 3 ‘zona recruits have been in town for couple weeks.

    Basketball team goes to canada in a month, will the incoming recruits be allowed to participate?
