No. If the the GSU receiver that got by Williams (with under two minutes to play) hadn't gone to ground to make the long catch it would've gone the other way. If he'd have just broken stride and made the catch on his feet he was more than likely gone for the six. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda ...

I hate the shoot-out win counting the same as an OT win and I hate 4x4 so when I'm in charge OT is played for 5 minutes (first goal wins) and ... all games are 5 point games as follows: 5 points for a regulation win 4 points for an OT win 3 points for a shoot-out win 2 points for a shoot-out loss 1 point for an OT loss 0 points for a regulation loss This way you are guaranteed a winner (shoot-out) but don't change the rules of the game (no 4x4). Plus, there are no "extra point" games in my 5 point system, all games are equal. I think it's wrong now that some games are "2 points" (winner in regulation, no point to loser) and other are "3 points" (winner in OT, but team that forced OT gets a point). The current system (2 or 3 point games) seems like an opportunity to "play the system" and give an opponent a point (to harm a rival in a different division) while you still get your two for the win.

Call San Fran, offer them Toby G and your second round pick (and a provisional) for Alex Smith. Or, call Seattle, offer them Toby G and your third round pick (and a provisional) for Matt Flynn.

Scroll through and you'll see some familiar DIII names: http://masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=ch&yr=2013&sub=11620 Someone else already answered the DII question.

Uh, no. There's DI and DIII hockey in the NCAA. UND has never played DIII hockey. ... the country would be a better place, ... and probably a lot colder. (See: Canada, Russia, Scandenavian countries)

I'm guessing London brought in Stolarz so they can dangle one of their other goalies as trade-bait to fill other needs.

So then why move from Division II?

You said ... Then you said. I merely pointed out that your theory is refuted (admittedly anecdotally) by the top US-born '96 choosing the NCHC's UND over the B1GHC's Minnesota (where he'd have been a legacy).

IALTO.

I see the focus on recruiting for (and assumably improving) the lines continues. Good. You win in the trenches.

Here are the simple facts: - NDSU has chosen the 63 scholarships level of DI football, as has UND - There is an 85 scholarship level of DI football - NDSU has won the last two championships of 63 scholarships level football - Winning championships is not easy - Winning back to back championships is not easy - There are better DI teams out there than NDSU, but none playing 63 scholarship level at this time - I would like UND to win a title at the 63 scholarship level; it'll take some work ( <-- Capt. Understatement)

Those make Bison fans who know college football sick as well.

UND Womens Soccer has a coach. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=58577&SPID=6390&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205879163&DB_OEM_ID=13500

Yeah, the NCHC has no chance in recruiting against the B1GHC. I mean kids like Shane Gersich are now sure to follow their uncles (former Gophers Neal, Aaron, and Paul Broten) and dad (also a former Gopher) to ... oh, ... wait, ... nevermind.

Who? My schedule says: Jan 4, 2013: Holy Cross That's the only entry on it.

Summary of 2012 season: - the offensive line couldn't get the run game going - the defensive line couldn't keep the LBs "clean" (a must in a 3-4 scheme) and couldn't generate pressure on a QB with less than two blitzers helping Recruiting so far: - primarily offensive and defensive linemen Hmmm ... maybe the coaches saw what I saw.

You can go to a major bowl and still end up losing money ... http://articles.chic...r-defensive-end

I still believe restructuring in DI NCAA FB is coming based on this: http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/17266-hypothetical-conference-for-und/page__st__20#entry571808 and this: http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/17266-hypothetical-conference-for-und/page__st__80#entry572244

Masterfully played.

I don't know anything about "lately", but I do know the last time Doug and Lorraine MacMillan's boys played together on a line they kinda-sorta did OK. 2009-10 Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL) Mitch: 59 GP 61-32-93 Mark: 59 GP 26-54-80

T'was my impression.

Remember, we got Parks back for half a period and he was out again. That says he really wasn't ready last time. No mistakes this time. It would not surprise me at all if they consciously held Parks out against Michigan Tech to give him basically another month without game contact knowing it would all but guarantee Parks back against Holy Cross to make up for Grimaldi being at WJC.

You may choose to assume that. Me? I'm awaiting the Cass County State's Attorney to chime in on subject.

Massey (mratings.com) thinks SHSU v. NDSU is a 27-26 NDSU win. Massey also has it at 48% chance of SHSU winning, 52% for NDSU.
