Oh, they aren't saying it yet, but a brother-against-brother coaching matchup in the Super Bowl would have them just giddy.

Does Bauer make anything for an all-wheel drive? How about CCM?

By popular demand ... {click} ... (That was the sound of the lights going out on this one.)

... today. The ND Secretary of State and ND Attorney General are looking to have the crime redefined as a C felony during this legislative session.

A little more than a decade ago UND was on top in DII WBB, DII FB, and DI MHockey. Things always change and always will. Enjoy when you're on top while you are.

This reminds me of an old joke: A guy goes into a bar and offers a woman sitting at the bar $10,000,000.00 to have sex with him. She thinks for a second and says, "Yes." So, the guy then offers her just $25 to have sex with him. She tells him, "Do you think I am a whore, someone with no morals?" to which he replies, "Well, we'd established that already so I figured I'd try to renegotiate the price." At what price.

I stand by my statement: GSU was the closest to NDSU of late, and it was in Fargo. Put it on a neutral field and add in the GSU revenge factor and I'll take GSU.

Honestly, neutral site, right now, I'd take Georgia Southern over NDSU. Why? They were very close on NDSU's field, and then there's the revenge factor.

I've always wondered why southern teams seem to struggle with FG kickers, and it's not just at the FCS level as even some SEC teams seem to struggle with it.

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.
