This was a bad time to juggle the OL, they were just starting to get used to each other and the schemes. Now they had to start over again. The result is what you saw today.

A little investigatory work would reveal that ndsu's early season home non-conference games are with Concordia, Ark St and Minn Morris. SDSU's early non-conference home games are with So Dak School of Mines, Wayne St of Nebraska and Minnesota-Crookston. SDSU's tourney is being held in Sioux Falls, not Brookings. While I agree that our non-conference home games suck so do theirs!

It's very difficult to get attractive D1 opponents to come in and play in a "gym" that only seats 3,500. The State College of Science in Wahpeton has a facility that seats more than that. Knowing that they would be moving to D1, why UND would agree to an arena that only seats 3,500 is a definite head scratcher. Jones likes the small gym but it's time for him to grow up. Use the Ralph for all big games, like ndsu etc, and market the games! A decent marketing job should get big crowds, with the bison not much hype is needed at all.
