And they pass,

Hockey coaches are always in the cities; should have let them get in on recruiting football players

Resembles the comeback vs. SD a few years back. And I still don't understand why SDSU is not making UND defend the run.

Pass D was decent, not sure why the bunnies coach allowed us to play it. Rushing D is pathetic. Another long season in the Big Sky

I guess the bunnies have given up passing practice, and will finish us off running the ball.

That's our own proudsioux, works oil out west and spends his 7 days off totally smashed.

Must be practicing the passing game. Would appear they could just run the clock on the ground and score more points if they want.

I think you're right, and unless something changes, 4-7 looks like the best possible outcome to this season.

New qb please, Bartels now missing open receivers

Isn't it time for you to pass out

Bunnies decided to pass, not sure why the way the run was going. They are giving us a chance.

Send the coaches off to recruit a d line. This doesn't work.

D line needs to pick it up; they're getting crushed by the bunny o line.

D line is getting work; looks like another tough year to me.

RU getting the Big Sky stream in HD?

Already streaming, jackrabbit journal on right now

ticketmaster shows some on both sides at the 40, more on both sides at the goal lines, and more yet next to the end zones.

You should have bought one for you dad with a "SH" moniker

I'm starting a list of monikers to look for on the heads of those walking around the Target Center next spring.

I'm not advocating anything concerning midco, merely that the deal with midco and cbssports has cut off thousands of Sioux fans from UND sports. While it was worth quite a bit of short term money to UND, I'm not sure it's a good deal for UND in the long term. Maybe the stream will be so good that the TV deal won't make a difference in alumni donations. Or maybe the demand for the channel by dish/directv subscribers will be so great they'll have to eventually add it. Midco is only available in areas of the three states you mentioned if: 1. the cable co pays for it and 2. the customer of that cable co pays for it. Not saying that's wrong for midco nor the cable co's that pay, just that it ultimately reduces exposure for UND athletics nationwide, as well as in the 3 states where it may or may not be available via cable. Additionally, some/maybe most of the nonmidco cable markets that pay for the channel do not offer cbssports, which, if they're talked into it, will be another additional charge to subscribers.

The cable co out here had the former undsportsnet and last year's midcosportsnet games in a package they call their "basic analog" package. Not sure whey it's called that, or if they can and do "dumb down" digital signals to an analog package, but the package did not require a receiver at all, just a cable hookup. Possibly they could have left the midcosportsnet 24/7 package in the basic tier (and dumbed it down or whatever they do) or perhaps they couldn't, I have no idea. But to get HD they'd obviously have to require customers to move up and get a receiver for each TV. Lots of added cost, many that got this channel will choose not to get it, reducing exposure of UND sports, which is just in ND, and pales in comparison to exposure lost nationally (unless dish/directv adds the channel).

Not entirely true; the cable co in nwnd is doing the same, not due to taking advantage, but to upgrade to digital hd, the next tier package is needed, along with a new more expensive hd receiver (one for each tv), etc, etc. Total additional cost is more in the 35-over 50/month range, depending on number of tv's and the receiver you want. The basic package people will no longer get UND sports.

Haven't even looked out here yet, way too hot for waterfowl hunting. Would guess whatever is around is finding harvested peas as usual. At any rate should be done mowing when any hunting season starts

You must be after Canada's already? Just saw a limit of 15? Good grief, I thought cleaning 8 of those monsters in Canada was a big job (worse than 20 snows), but 15 is crazy. And I just saw the snow goose limit is 50. Last time I hunted 50 would have been easy, would have been fun to try. Maybe we'll get another chance out west.

This game is in SD; first HD game will be on the 7th.
