The Sicatoka

Because Charles E. Kupchella dared stand up to them once. Bureaucracies have long (and vindictive) memories. This is the perfect stab. Change your name or else. You can't mandate that. Yes we can, and if you don't, no home playoffs. We'll change but begrudgingly. Oh, by the way, the playoff criteria changed; no home playoffs for you.

Brad Berry needs to get his house in order.

This makes one wonder how long such hijinks and shenanigans have been afoot in NCAA FCS playoff seeds and what their impacts have been.

The NCAA being ... arbitrary and capricious? And negatively impacting UND with it? Who da thunk it.

Sam Herder saying something favoring UND? He wouldn't do that unless factual.

You have to start somewhere.

We’re running a 3-4 scheme designed to stop the veer. Haven’t seen the veer in a couple decades.

How about we start winning games after Thanksgiving to get some “Montana” treatment in the future.

Practice what you preach you say?

Based on yesterday I see the BSC with only 5 and the MVFC with 3.

Has the game passed our age 57+ coaches by? (I’m thinking of two sports right now.) On NHL Radio yesterday Ken Daneyko said 1/3 of players in his day couldn’t play in the league today and 1/3 of today couldn’t play then. Why? The game is different. It’s gone from a strength and power game to a speed and skill game. What era game are we coaching for?

Because Miller has three or four tough acts to follow. And you’re not wrong about a dropped pick-six each way.

This is truth. Karl hung around and learned from the TBL system and Jon Cooper. Brad hung around CBJ and WPG and Scott Arniel. Not the same.

For all we know the NCAA may consider that “diversity” and award it points,

Careful what you wish for.

Two penalties apiece from your fifth year senior forwards is not leadership.

What did I say last night? Paraphrased: They need to string two in a row. And they did not.

UND has the head to head over YSU.

Must score on this PP opportunity. (Did teams change uniforms from last night?)

My points statement is wrong: Arizona, SDSU, and Indiana State put more than 21 on them.

Make the pick and it changes the demeanor of the game. Same for the scoop. Don’t and the game stays as it has been.

Call the rule book as written or change it.

If today would’ve been against Western Illinois or Indiana State it’d be a problem. UND just put more points on NDSU than anyone but Arizona. EDIT: SDSU and IndState also put on more than 21.

Losses to SDSU and NDSU and an FBS. Second most difficult schedule in country. Oh, scored more points on NDSU than anyone but an FBS (Arizona).
