UND-1

If there is one thing we have learned in the past month, Location, Location, Location is still the most important thing.

I don't care where they "came from". Dom tweeted 200 times about the MVC and their future movement, score updates, upcoming games, etc. He was all in, which inturn leads the rubes to believe that NDSU had a chance at getting in. Turns out it was a complete farce and now he is moving on to the Horizon with no facts to back it up, again. As members of the media and being supposed journalists, he and Calliou should try to be a bit more accurate than hope and speculation.

So now I see Dom and Calliou are "speculating" that the Horizon will look to the Dakota's if they lose any more teams. When the MVC was going to lose a team, they instantly nominated NDSU as a replacement, even though NDSU was not even in the Top 10, as it turned out. Now they are completely making sh*t up again about the Horizon. They completely ignore geography and the fact that a conference like the OVC is right in the Horizon's backyard and can easily add a team or two from their, if need be.

They would still have 6 starting next year if certain AD's and a certain Commissioner didn't block what the Summit baseball coaches all wanted very badly.

Not strange at all. He is a young guy who has only been a coordinator for a few years. To take over an established D2 program as your first head coaching job is pretty normal, IMO. I can't recall many FCS coordinators, especially one's right out of the transition, that became FCS Head Coaches. The only examples I can think of are in-house promotions.

Greg is one of the truly good guys in the world. Nice guy, good family man and a good coach. He will be missed in Grand Forks.

I am fairly certain that Plant Services would clear off the snow if they could have. Maybe that new turf combined with the amount of snow was too hard yo do? PS's has cleaned off the field every other year, I dont know why now would be different.

I am pretty sure that one's gonna stick. Nice work GeauxSioux.

Ya know, I cannot think of a better way to show the NIT how wrong they were than to go out and lose your first round CBI game to a team 50 spots lower than you in the RPI.

Quinton Hooker has been named a Mr. Basketball finalist in the state of Minnesota. There are 5 finalists.

Not to mention the disparity in RPI ranking between UNI and WM. Beating UNI at home would be a major boost for the UND program.

Looks like UND gets Northern Iowa on the road Tuesday night! Congrats boys.

Montana and Weber State are 1:1 odds to win it. UND is getting 35:1 odds. Reference the above video clip from Lloyd Christmas for my thoughts on those odds.

There is a Q & A going on right now over at the SFI blog. There is some good information being spread around.

There have been two more offers reported by SFI: Malik Fountain of Olympia Fields, IL - 6'2", 210 LB Austin Cieslak of Hazen, ND - 6'3"-250 DL

UND wins 74-66. Nice win on the road for the boys.

Amazing how many games a team can win when they make free throws. Total change from last season.

I like their play by play guy. Calls a nice even game with good comments in between.

I just got back from throwing up after watching that last minute of basketball....what did I miss?

There is a reason for everything. Now we know exactly why they bought the game out. Hopefully, one of these weeks NDSU fans and their media will finally get over it.

If Cherry doesn't get hurt Montana could have taken down Davidson on the road, that would have looked really good.

Nice effort out of the mighty Summit this weekend. EDIT: 4-5 with the Top 3 teams all getting rolled convincingly. Their #1 Western Illinois got whacked AT HOME by Cleveland State, who was rated #188 in the RPI (and has a losing record). Yuck. Don't need any comments about the Big Sky, we know they are not that good but we actually realize it. Big Sky went 5-6 with the best win by Weber State over Oral Roberts on the road. UND's loss to Omaha was a bad one. The rest were not really upsets as they were fairly even matchups or the BS team was the dog.

Good decision by Mussman. Kotelnicki has worked his ass off for this program and deserves it.

That's what the campus Dining surplus is for.

Yes they did. And if NDSU was as bad as Sac State used to be, then UND would have loved to have kept playing. We all knew that NDSU was going to get pretty good with 63 scholarships and their built-in advantages. There was no way UND could have kept up with that and taken a hit come playoff selection time.
