Geography doesn't change; but, as already shown by various media outlets, travels costs are basically the same whether UND would be in the Big Sky or some other league.

2016 Volleyball: Regular season and Tournament champions; off to the NCAAs next. 2016 Big Sky regular season co-champions; NCAA FCS playoff #7 seed Oh and then there's that minor detail of being the reigning NCAA National Champion in men's ice hockey ...

Does NAU (Flagstaff) being at 6900 feet above sea level play a part in that?

Twelve, that's 12, missed extra points yesterday across the NFL: new league record for a weekend (or day). And there's still a game left (HOU v OAK).

No. Seeds get home games; better seeds get home games head to head. That's why NDSU is guaranteed (with the #1) to be home.

It was Albany (7-4) and Fordham (8-3) as first two out. Cal Poly, Illinois State, Samford, Weber State were last four in.

So, 9-2 and 8-3 is a toss-up. What's that make 8-3 and 7-4? How about 7-4 and 6-5?

ESPNU listed the first two out ... Albany and ... I swore it was Lehigh ... Last four in? Cal Poly, Illinois State, ?, Weber State.

BWW. Look at the menus on the tables in the wide shot. And there was a brief cut of the team during a roll-in from a commercial ... at BWW. And I'm proud to say President Mark Kennedy was exactly where he should've been: with the team.

No mention of 8-3 Lehigh staying home?

To Bubba, the staff, and most importantly the team: Congratulations. Enjoy this for 24 hours. But now the hard work begins. Leave no doubt.

I listened to the NDSU@USD game yesterday. The NDSU defense is going to need the bye week. They are pretty banged up. (I actually believe it and not just that their announcers are crying 'poverty'.) That said, the committee gave NDSU no favor with triple-option, run first, pound it Cal Poly against a defense that has some key cogs out due to injury.

Nice of you to predict that ... of the Big Sky.

So UND gets the winner of NC A&T at Richmond. You mean Richmond, who I watched yesterday to see if W&M could knock them off? Not saying, just saying ... To Bubba and his staff and team: Congratulations. But now the hard work begins. Leave no doubt.

Is there some irony in a team called "The Tribe" doing UND a favor with the NCAA.

So where are the other games right now (just broke my W&M feed)? ESPN3?

William & Mary 34 #7 U of Richmond 13 Final The W&M announcers figure UR will play at home ... next weekend.

Now the UR KO returner catches the ball but steps out on the 5. < face palm >

2:01 remains, 4 and 3, W&M on 28 .... go, play action, to the TE ... TD W&M. Dare I say ... game. 34-13 with 1:55 to play.

Dear W&M .... run the ball and don't give up a turnover.
