I echo your thoughts as to the state of the country today and especially the media. I just came back from NAS Pensacola and saw flags flying at half-staff and our young people training and got a lump in my throat. Thank God we still have people willing to put their lives on the line for this country.

Hmm... JBB, NanoBison and BisonBacker as moderators. I think I'll pass.

I read where the attendance was 1471. For a Tuesday night game against an 0-8 team, that isn't too bad. Sure I'd love to see it higher and I think you will see the attendance start to increase when the level of competition and level of play increase. It looks like Coach Jones has the level of play heading in the right direction. It's going to be interesting to see where he takes the team in the next couple of years with his own recruits.

Dartmouth responds back to Kupchella's letter. UND NICKNAME: Dartmouth sends letter to Kupchella, calls Hoeven

I agree with that REA may be too big with the schedule that UND is playing right now, but when you start getting some higher profile schools in, that will change. I watched a few conference games a couple of years ago when all of the conference games were being played in the Ralph and enjoyed it. Additionally, wouldn't REA make more money off concessions and suites if the games were held in REA instead of BESC?? I'm thinking that just the lower bowl and suites would be used for BB. What would be the capacity in that scenario?

Either sarcasm or a troll. I have to agree with Bison Dan on this one. There is no way Buning would hire back the old AD as a football coach.

University of North Dakota pres asks respect for athletes Go get 'em Pres.

From tomorrow's Dakota Stupid: The DS View: Dartmouth apology Sure someone on a campus a thousand miles away stirs up a hornet's nest on UND's campus and somehow UND is to blame. The AD even admitted that the statements were aimed at her campus over local incidents. Come on DS folks grow a brain.

Indian tribe helps develop Spokane logo If Indian nicknames are so insensitive, why do tribes such as the Spokane Indians give their blessing? Maybe DYB can answer that one.

A couple of months ago on this thread there was a discussion regarding FSSN and it's impact for UND and it's impact in the search for a conference. Posters from both NDSU and SDSU both poo-poo'd it's influence. A couple of months pass and now television is hot topic at both SDSU and possibly NDSU. SDSU on TV The big brass better take a look at this news... Someone at UND had some vision in getting FSSN going. Thanks. Go Sioux !!!!

Hoeven tours plant of wind blade maker, talks about work force Looking good.

A former UND AD is in the news. WSU Advancement Announces Major Gifts Director When he came to UND, he said that the Sioux should be playing in a dome. That was after he helped USD get into the Dakota Dome. A man ahead of his time.

Sioux 31 Grand Valley 27. GV has to settle for two FGs, while the Sioux only have to settle for one. Unfortunately, I'll be in Louisiana and won't be able to watch or listen to the game via the internet, so I'll be bothering my parents all afternoon to get scores. Go Sioux !!!

While he is not saying that they dropped UND from their schedule, he seems to be implying that Harvard made a conscious effort not to schedule anyone on the list of 18 schools. Ivy Apologizes for Hosting ‘Fighting Sioux’

As good of a place as any to put this. Hornets in waiting

More from Dartmouth. National news media cover Harper apology; College, UND reactions mixed

and this one The Silly Season Although the article isn't entirely accurate.

That reminds me of the argument of a five year old. You can't make me stop, it's a free country.

I agree, NDSU had a fine season. Who Cares??? Move on! Go Sioux.

I think LeftyZL did a good job of explaining the SOS, but I wanted to throw in my two cents. Nano, if you go to the Massey website that you referenced click on the column for schedule you will see that NDSU had the 19th toughest schedule in Division I-AA, with an overall SOS at 137. The Sicatoka was correct in his assessment that even though NDSU, SDSU and UNC have left the NCC, UND had nearly as tough SOS at 148. In fact, if you look through the SOS, you will see NCC teams at 139, 144, 146, 148, 149 and 155. NDSU has had tougher schedules than this year. I didn't see where either The Sicatoka or LeftyZL were trying to diminish NDSU's performance. It was strictly talk about the schedule strength.

8:55 to play, Sioux down by 3.
