FightingSioux.com Game Notes I think it is time that the program gets this gorilla off of its back. Big weekend of hockey in GF. I can't imagine that it'll happen too often that two of our biggest rivals are in town the same weekend.

Drake Hy-Vee Classic Friday, Dec. 4 5 p.m. - North Dakota vs. Texas-Arlington 7:37 p.m. - Drake vs. SIU Edwardsville Saturday, Dec. 5 5 p.m. - SIU Edwardsville vs. TBA 7:37 p.m. - Drake vs. TBA Drake Knapp Center (7,152), Des Moines, Iowa Drake tournament notes UND tournament notes

North Dakota (7) 3-6-1-0 3-6-3 Obviously it is hard for the ladies to make much progress in the standings when they have had 3 weeks in a row where all they had was an exhibition game and a non-conference series. The ladies get back into WCHA action this weekend against BSU. The Beaver have made progress with their program as well. It should be a couple of good games for the ladies. They could use a conference sweep right now to get them back into the hunt for the top half of the conference. Dec. 4, 5 & 6 UMD @ UW MSU - SCSU H/H UND - BSU H/H Minnie at Harvard

Wow. That was a crazy finish to the game and season. Way to hold strong D.

Wow, quite the series of plays. Almost interception, blocked FG and then a fumble.

How much time is left in the game?

That was the first thought that went through my mind. These type of events always seem to happen at the most convenient times. We will likely never know.

UMKC 70 UND 63 FINAL.

0:38.1 UMKC 63 UND 59

1:00 left! UMKC 61 UND 57 Sioux ball.

7:41 UMKC 53 UND 50

Some background on UMKC: The Kangaroos were picked to finsih 9th out of the 10 team Summit League. They are undefeated so far this year with wins over Bethel College (exh), Truman State and Lincoln University. UMKC will next play at Nebraska on Tuesday.

11:58 left UMKC 41 UND 43

Gettin this goin a little late. I was hoping to make it up to this game as I figured it would be a good one but had obligations I couldn't get out of. 16:52 to go in the game. UND just took the lead for the first time in the game. UMKC 35 UND 37

I don't mind if a UND/NDSU FB game doesn't happen for a few more years. It will happen when it happens. But it is rediculous for UND and NDSU not to be playing each other in volleyball/soccer/baseball/softball etc. It makes no sence for either athletic department to be paying to send these teams all around the country when each has a DI school within an hour that they aren't playing. It would be good for both athletic departments to get these games scheduled right away. Then follow that up with getting the basketball teams back on the same court. And I guess we can throw SDSU into this discussion. It would be good for all of the Dakota schools to be playing each other in the non-revenue sports.

Congratulations to the ladies on winning the Great West Conference! Now go take the GW tournament!

All in the family means both UND and NDSU A pretty neat article. If both sides could get over their egos, maybe they could play each other next year.

That is an understatement. Is there such a thing as "too much fun"? Cause if there is, I may have hit that point this weekend.

Next week's games: UMD@OSU SCSU@BSU UM@MSU Wayne State at UW UND BYE

I just hope that everyone comes out to the game. Even though we aren't favored, Cal Poly will likely be one of the best teams to ever play in the Alerus. We should see some good football today (and hopefully some of it is from the Sioux!)

I have my 4 seats reserved and ready to go. This will be my first time on one of "Al's buses". They sound like a blast. Can't wait to make many new Sioux friends on the trip!

A bison fan here trying to sling mud at our FB team and record. Now THAT is funny! Hey, I hear you are the best 1-7 team in the country if that makes you feel any better!

So you can't have home ice advantage without being classless?!?! The Ralph can't be loud and raucous without using the F word?
