The Sicatoka

Hansel summed up part of the problem here.

Three MVFC teams make the playoffs (NDSU, UNI, W Ill) but none got opening round byes and one is on the road no less. That's not fun for those teams or that league. Meanwhile, both Montana State and Eastern Washington are in bye weeks.

That's what you need in Division I football. Depth.

Is he the best QB in Bismarck? I watched the Gibson kid from BHS and had flashbacks to Jake Landry at GFC: (for HS) Big body, big arm, poised demeanor and posture.

Claim to be classy and then drop to the name-calling trash talk. The irony just drips.

BOTH got hat tricks? Sounds like someone got taken to the wood shed.

UND was a dropped pass from beating Northern Illinois at NIU. UND was a missed FG from beating Cal-Poly at CP. Where the struggles really began is when Jake Landry went down. Jake seemed to be fine running the pistol. Like I've said, Comes or Demler had better be pistol QBs or this won't get any better. And yes, I'll live with the "learning curve" of a redshirt freshman QB. Let that person and the WR corps all mature together.

I am so, so glad an NDSU fan said that, because that's what I saw when I looked at the field.

Two defensemen in the line-up coming off bouts with mono (Forbort, AndyMac). Gleason (defenseman) in as the fourth line right wing. That's called "just in case" ...

There's no way UND Hockey will consistently fill an 11000 seat arena ...

How in the world did our resident EWF fan miss this one ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyJclkU3fmg Title? Take it to the Sky.

Of those four, LaTech has to be the best off given their location in or near other conferences.

Well, NMSU and LaTech and those two (TxState and UTSA) would have to figure out what they could get done.

WAC: Boise State -- gone to MWC Fresno State -- gone to MWC Hawaii -- gone to MWC (FB) and Big West Idaho Louisiana Tech Nevada -- gone to MWC New Mexico State San Jose State Utah State Given this Hawai'i (<-- that's the official way to spell it per the Hawai'i legislature ) news, I think I see why Montana really didn't want to jump at this time. It Utah State jumps to the MWC (speculated), that really leaves Idaho, SJSU, and NMSU swingin' in the wind. Idaho, SJSU, and NMSU ... that's three ... the BSC is at 13 now ... those three would make 16 for football, 14 all-sports. And that concludes today's really (dead-)WAC(-y) thought.

Some wonderful advice given to me long ago that I've passed along more than once here: When all seems confusing, when up is down, and nothing makes sense ... Stop. Take a deep breath. Rise above the situation. Look down at it objectively. And then follow The Benjamins. All will become clear. Why Big East? More TVs; more television money.

You are 100% correct because people with the means to make them happen are rare. But they happen.

Isn't Downing the guy who made a comment like 'they didn't ask me' when the additions of SUU and UND were added to the BSC? Maybe now we know why they didn't ask him.

Anyone have an image of the jerseys they wore?

Were you guys sleeping in history class? Don't you remember The Boer Wars?

The game is going to last that long?

Dang it. Now I'll have music from Deliverance stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

UND's Offense? It needs an I.V. ... right after the s. OffensIVe.

Did the 'yotes bus to Lamar and have dead legs?
