Like the student at the hockey game this weekend when he yelled lets go hawks. Nobody knew which team he meant.

F'Hawk!

Go to the books website. Enter info posing as a teacher, have answer sheet emailed to you. What?? Accounting homework sucked.

Last time it was announced Sunday night after the polls closed Friday at 11:59. So I'd guess tomorrow sometime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's how UND doesn't get in?: Eastern Washington beats Portland State. EWU is in. Montana beats Montana State. Montana is in. Winner of SSU and NAU. Portland State is already in. .....I'm not sure five teams would get in from the Big Sky. It would be do they choose EWU or UND with identical records. Do they choose UND with the FBS win or EWU with the better conference record? Another reason to cheer for Southern Utah, Montana State, and Portland of course, because otherwise EWU losses could all potentially be against playoff teams (If UNI wins they are probably in...Go Southern Illinois) and the Oregon Ducks.

The nice thing is there is a couple of games being played that can help UND's chances: Portland State over Eastern Washington. Montana State over Montana. To a "lesser extent:" James Madison over Villanova. Maine over New Hampshire.

It would be different if they hadn't just made that account to post just that.

I also had a hawk voter (student) tell me it was unconstitutional to try and sway the vote.

Schedule strength based off Massey Ratings. I do think if its Southern Utah vs UND, UND gets in. Where do you draw the line? Do you punish a team for scheduling a D2 team, instead of Incarnate Word, yet they finish ahead of the others in the polls and conference standings (isn't that sorta what conferences are about to see how those teams compare against the same teams?) And have a harder schedule. .....the committees history has said yes. Basically if Southern Utah losses and UND wins and gets into the playoffs we can thank Southern Utah for its scheduling mistake.

So you're saying even a 10-1 team isn't guaranteed to make the playoffs. Let alone 7-4 Lehigh finished second in the conference that is one bid conference when it was still 16 playoff field.

Southern Utah has the 16th hardest schedule in FCS. North Dakota has the 51th hardest schedule in FCS.

Is that why SUU is #20 in the polls and UND is about 31. Its pretty easy to think the committee has a print out of the last poll at these meetings.

This part I'm not so sure about. SUU could be one missed field goal away from winning a Big Sky Championship and getting an autobid. But because they missed that field goal not even make the playoffs?! I think the committee will use some discretion.

History will be made. This will be the first hockey game in 80+ years that UND will officially play under a new moniker.

I fully expected the UofM to not recognize Veterans Day next and just another school day.

The Alerus Center should have a budget set aside to help UND increase the bid.

University of Minnesota Student Government has apparently passed a resolution to no longer remember/"celebrate" 9/11. Too much USA Patriotism for them. Don't want to offend anyone.

Why's it only Monday today?!

Up to ten. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/16/alabama-refuses-syrian-refugees-paris-terror-attack/75857924/

I saw that too....heard commotion from section over. Looked over and saw a coach restraining a UNC player. Would love to know what he said that got under his skin. That's why I'm against moving the student section.

The Hawks are gonna lose again tonight.

They thought he was talking about Miami.....

The best part is UND seems to be playing its best football right now.
