The latest on the sexual assault that happened "121 feet from an on-campus property" at NDSU. http://www.inforum.com/news/crime/3640054-ndsu-did-not-notify-students-saturday-after-armed-stranger-assault-near-campus

Three months. Based on FPD and MPD history, they are going to struggle to solve this. http://www.inforum.com/news/crime/3640335-most-metro-homicides-solved-within-few-days-its-been-3-months-case-slain-ndsu

Rumor has it that Nick Schmaltz is on the wing with Auston Matthews at center tonight for the USA U20 exhibition v. Sweden.

He was pass-happy. Bucky Badger runs the pig. Incompatible.

The roar has been restored!

The NFC Central summed up in just 46 seconds.

Thank you for your input; however, the board owner decided long ago against that path.

I thought the NCAA mandated OT. So'd they give everyone a "participation" ribbon instead?

OK. OK. 1. The mods here have real jobs; we don't always have time to babysit the forum. 1a. Thanks to 'bang' for acknowledging that. 2. If you aren't talking recruits in this thread, you're trolling --> see forum rules. That's all that needs to be said on that. 2a. I trust you all will self-police yourselves individually on that from here on ... (or else, and if you read that as a warning, you got it).

"Several blocks" is disingenuous, John. That's half a block from campus proper and abuts a campus parking lot.

Pretty strange assault case happened basically across the street from the NDSU campus Saturday night. Three female NDSU students were assaulted. http://www.inforum.com/news/crime/3639511-police-release-description-suspect-armed-stranger-sexual-assault-near-ndsu

The problem here is clear. After the 1980s came the 1990s and first few years of the 21st century. After that came 2006 to the present. And what comes after that is coming.

Elves in a battle royale: Christmas come early.

I've said NDSU's problem next year will be losing the starting safeties in the Tampa Two. Losing three LBs (OK, two, given one is done already due to injury) and the DE just compounds it. PS - No disrespect intended to either, but Frazier and the Moorhead kid are not John Crockett and the NDSU offense hinges on establishing the power run game.

At least Nick has a reason for being invisible last night: He was playing for Team USA against BU.

Yes, they could have. They are playing MBB there (just mens, not womens) while their BS Arena is under construction so they have connections. (Yes, there was a Force game schedule for Scheels the night of Dec 19; however, there is no game Dec 20. NDSU could've politely asked the Force to move the game back one day. It probably would've been better for the Force to not be up against the other event in Fargo the night of Dec 19th anyway.)

You didn't see much from our special teams either.

Yeah, it was pretty quiet ... Did she go? The match was at a neutral site.

I think we'll be fine if the guys drive to the net and go to the dirty areas tonight. I didn't see them doing that last night. Bye tends to leave the passing lanes wide open and they leave a lot of space uncovered in front of the net. I'm not sure what to call their system other than an open zone. And I don't really expect much pressure from them on special teams.

Have we heard if there were any injuries carrying over from last night?

Back to FCS and today's outcome: UNH wins = NDSU wins #4 in a row ISU wins = probably the best FCS game to watch all year I think ISU has the horses to play with NDSU. I saw some of UNH in the quarters. The Wildcats would get curbstomped by the Bison.

Game 2 of this pre-holiday weekend neutral site tournament. This one is against Bye. Another 7 pm Central start. If we show up the same as last night against Off, expect the same outcome. Still no Stecher or St. Clair. Not sure if there'll be line-up changes after the (lack of) performance last night.

We've never lost when I start the GDT.
