MSU 61 UND 61 2:00

MSU 58 UND 59 3:23 left.

MSU 44 UND 47 11:00 to go.

It is great to see that the ladies didn't get down after the lopsided loss on Friday and rebounded with a shutout win on Saturday. That shows maturity and leadership within the team.

Thankfully that is from over a year ago. I hope that her thinking has changed!

So does the Pack go 16-0 this season?

MSU 32 UND 35 halftime. Smart had the half of her career. 13 points and 6 rebounds for Nicole!

MSU 27 UND 29 3:40 left in 1st.

Coach is pretty hot under the collar about how the game is being officiated. He just took a technical while wishing the refs a Merry Chrismas. MSU 25 UND 23 6:40 left in 1st.

MSU 19 UND 16 9:06 left in 1st.

That whole school is just incompetent. I'm still a little irritated that we threw away the history of the original WCHA just to form the glorified "new" WCHA.

Tough loss for the boys. The talent and athleticismis there. Now we just need the maturity to go with it.

Time for the boys to step it up. These 2 league points are too important.

The award is not given away by who gets the most votes. Votes are used to pick the top 15 coaches. Then there is a committee that picks the winner based on merit.

For folks with smartphones, if you didn't already know, UNDsports.com has a pretty darn good app available for Android and Iphone/Ipad. You can find it on UNDsports.com under the TV/Radio tab. Pay the $$$ for the $4.99 dollar one. It is so worth it for a 1 time price. I'm surprised that UND doesn't utilize a SMS service. I guess non-smartphones are on their way out and UND may just not want to pay or deal with the service. I know Mayville State does SMS messages after everygame. But MSU doesn't have the video, radio and smartphone capabilities either. So maybe that is why they are willing to spend the $$$ to produce that service.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with NDSU. This is all about what Coach Mussman and his team have accomplished both ON and OFF the field! NAPERVILLE, Ill. – University of North Dakota head football coach Chris Mussman was named the Great West Conference Coach of the Year by his peers on Tuesday, while three of his players garnered spots on the coaches’ All-GWC first team. Six more Fighting Sioux were named to the All-GWC second team. Mussman led the Sioux to an 8-3 record and a share of the GWC regular season title (Cal Poly) a season after going 3-8 and going winless in the league. The five-game turnaround tied for the second best in program history. LANCASTER, S.C. - For the second day in a row, North Dakota head coach Chris Mussman was honored as the Great West Conference Coach of the Year. This time, the fourth-year head coach earned the distinction by media members, who follow the league’s five teams. Sophomore wide receiver Greg Hardin (Bellevue, Neb.) and sophomore running back Jake Miller (Bismarck, N.D.) were the only two Sioux players named to the media’s All-GWC first team, which was an honor both received by the league’s coaches as well. GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Fighting Sioux fans head coach Chris Mussman needs your votes! He is ranked just outside the top 15 in the 2011 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year fan voting, but there is still time to cast your votes. Each of you can vote once a day, every day at www.coachoftheyear.com and help him jump into the top 15 and potentially advance to the finalist stage! This is something extremely small that we can do to show our support for our coaches and players. This isn't just about W-Ls but how the coaches and team represent their communities. Let's do what we can in this last week and try support our program into making the finalists. Go Vote HERE!!! (psst... if you have more than 1 computer in your home or office, you can usually vote off of all of them in the same day. But you didn't hear that from me!)

Is Wahp/Breck playing in Minnesota now?

UND fans have absolutely no leg to stand on when trying to debate football attendance numbers. So how about we focus on discussing the playoffs.

Coach Muss took the team from 3-8 to 8-3 in 1 year and won a share of the GWC championship. Plus, this is not based just on wins-loses. It is also about how the coaches and teams represent their community. Coach Bohl is in the top 10 and it is looking like the NDSUoA&AS has a good chance of making it to the Best Buy Bowl. I just wonder who their opponent will be.

This is what makes college football so exciting! Get out to the Al on Saturday!

bump

Attendance: 1645 Good crowd for a late Monday night game that was going on at the same time as Vikes/Pack!

So were you considering UND to be a Big Sky or Great West member when you typed this?

ISU 45 UND 59 1:29 left. ISU is starting to foul. Let's hope that all of those crazy endings last year taught the guys how to finish out games and the importance of making free-throws.

Idaho 54 UND 84 Nice win by the ladies tonight.
