Nice to see Mussman go for it on 4th down, getting the Sioux the eventual winning TD. Let's close out the season with a win over the mangy dogs.

Anderson looked great in the Waldorf game. He played a complete gamed. Huff is fun to watch. The acrobatic play he had in the first half was highlight reel stuff. The big guys did rebound well with their height advantage, but seemed to have a hard time getting the shots to fall in close. Should be a fun year for Sioux BB. Hopefully the attendance picks up as the year rolls on. I guess 1642 isn't bad for a Saturday afternoon.

Me either. I'm heading up to take in some basketball this weekend. Boosters Friday afternoon, ladies Friday night and the men on Saturday night. Nice weekend for some Sioux BB. Go SIoux!!

Ouch!! There is a certain Bison fan whose board name contains a body of water that enjoys going from forum to forum announcing that UND lost to Mayville in BB. I'm sure he is having a wonderful day today.

OPE has UND's 2011 figures posted.... http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/ Expenses $17,388,512.00 Revenue: $17,512,522.00 $124,010.00 in the black.

What color is the sky in your world?

Haga needs to stop stirring the pot with pieces like this. It gives the nickname armageddon crowd a rallying point. I am a fan of UND, not just UND athletics. I don't want to blow up the whole university to keep a nickname.

I asked the question once before. Here is the response.... http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/15781-what-needs-to-happen/page__view__findpost__p__508428

The Big Sky is a destination conference. The Summit is a transient conference with the members looking for the exit door once they get in. The Big Sky is stable. I'm not so sure about the Summit. With the exodus of ORU and a nine team league, who are the travel partners? The east is pretty easy to figure out, as there are four teams there. The west.... I can see UNO with UMKC and the South Dakota schools paired. Who is NDSU's travel partner going to be? If you add another school in the west are the east schools going to complain and scramble to the exit door? I don't see UND moving to the Summit. I would think it would be more likely, NDSU moving to the Big Sky..

Agreed. First step is in a few weeks. July 1st, for official membership, can't come soon enough.

Why? Because the Summit is becoming the NCC 2.0 that Sica and the often maligned Star2 said it would become. ORU was the program that one could point to in the Summit and say that the Summit has a school with national recognition and prominence. Losing ORU is big hit to the conference. With the way conferences have been changing over the past 2 years, who else may be leaving the Summit?

I wonder if Fullerton and NDSU are talking?

I was out this afternoon and only was able to start watching it when the Sioux were down 23-9. It sounds like Bradley didn't play well at all and from what I saw from Goska, he is showing a couple of things that Bradley has not. Goska is always a threat to run and has been able to hit the open man where Bradley has not. I'm sure Hardin will replay that drop over and over again in his head, but he had a great catch to earlier that got the Sioux moving. Although a loss, I'm encouraged by the play that I saw. In that span the moved the ball fairly well, scored 10 points and didn't allow and Poly points. From reading through the game thread the Sioux didn't show a lot of offense prior to Goska coming in. I think he has earned a start next week. Go Sioux!

Sioux will take a lead into the fourth quarter and hold on at the end 27-24. Go Sioux!!

UND Admin did do something right recently... http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/u-of-north-dakota-reverses-expulsion-after-alleged-false-report-of-sexual-assault/37327

I heard on the radio this morning, Missouri to the SEC will likely happen this week, which will cause some more ripples.

Sometimes we need to just let life happen and stop trying to control things. Delano is life. She gets the crowd going. Why mess with it? I don't think focusing on an 85 year old woman at a hockey game is going to negatively impact the Princeton Review rankings.

I don't have a subscription so, I didn't get the whole thing. http://recruiting.sc...%2f1118337.html

I had to laugh when I read that he won't be charged, due in part to the fact that NDSU is letting him continue his job until the end of the year. What kind of a message does that send? http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/218381/ If someone in our company was doing what he was doing, he would be gone and his projects/assignments would be distributed to other employees. Amazing.

Someone (Iowa?) canceled a game with WBB, I believe and wasn't there also a track meet the Sioux were uninvited to? Since UND is now under NCAA sanctions per the settlement, it will continue and become more prevalent.

Dominions 1.the power or right of governing and controlling; sovereign authority. 2.rule; control; domination. 3.a territory, usually of considerable size, in which a single rulership holds sway. 4.lands or domains subject to sovereignty or control. 5.Government . a territory constituting a self-governing commonwealth and being one of a number of such territories united in a community of nations, or empire: formerly applied to self-governing divisions of the British Empire, as Canada and New Zealand. Doms for short. UND taking back control of the name and control of the university. The dominant university of the Dakotas. Of course a certain crowd will turn it into Dominos and pizza delivery or pizza boys, but then again, they will do that regardless of the name.

Tony, cow tipping is more expensive UND's way... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsR9Uq_TF1Q
