  1. I think that was a 14-0 run to start the half against us.......
  2. All pacific so far in the 2nd.
  3. Sioux up 3 at the half. Huff and Webb playing well. Benton getting minutes but is playing out of control at least 3 times driving to the lane turn chucking up an air ball.......
  4. Considering how we came out against Wisconsin and 17,000+ hostile fans, I expected a much better performance against the Ducks, in a half empty venue. This team is full of seniors that have experienced all types of environments and all levels of competition. What happened yesterday was lack-luster IMO. What happened on Friday should never happen to this team. If this team truly expects to challenge for the Big Sky title, performances like this weekend can't happen. Weber St. would never lose by 30 to a middle of the pack Big West team.......................
  5. This is embarrassing. We are being run out of the gym by an average at best team. The zone defense is perplexing this team.....
  6. Not a good start......
  7. I had actually looked into the Marshall guy from Montana St. about a month ago when I was bored looking for potential candidates. I wouldn't mind or be surprised if he is among the list of finalists.
  8. Do they still have club hockey? They might give us a game there.
  9. I really didn't think FU would impress me, and they certainly didn't.
  10. I agree, but last night was the rare occaison where better/larger end-court seating would have been utilized. Video boards and an upgraded PA system should be the top priority there. I love the Sioux Center as a basketball venue.
  11. I would argue that Braun's selfish play in the second half is what took FU out of the game.
  12. So aside from FU, SDSU is apparently the best that the MVFC has to offer? The Jackbunnies had their pants full with us and that ain't sayin much. Tough league my arse.................
  13. Meh, I thought it would would have been over before halftime. Still the game was never in doubt, UND led from wire to wire I believe. Those pesky Bison did make it entertaining for the first 25-30 minutes. Braun sure is a talented player, but wow what a ball hog. North Dakota fans gripe that Huff needs to dish it off more. He passes like Jason Kidd compared to Braun. I could not figure out why FU went away from Bjorklund in the 2nd half. Our guys held there own against him, but was quite obvious to me he could have had a much bigger night. Seems like they basically ignored him. The reffing is tough to watch, but that is how they are going to be calling it this year. This isn't the first game that has been like this. They were consistent in the their calls on both sides of the ball anyways. The one that dumb-founded me was the T on Huff. Very unnecessary. He got excited, and gestured toward his own student section after he made a 3. As expected, very fun team watch. Obviously already knew how great Huff and Anderson are, but Nash sure is fun to watch as well. That runner that Hooker made in the 2nd half was sick. I thought the post play was pretty good tonight, against one of the better post players in the Summit league by all accounts. Nothing flashy, but they held there own. Calcaterra especially had a nice game. Still need to work hard on boxing out for rebounds, which is such a fundamental thing. I know we're just 3 games in, but I'm really pleased with the way this team has been taking care of the ball. Against the Badgers we only had 12 turnovers, and tonight just 9. That's really good for the type of ball this team plays. It was a fun night. It's been a few years since the Sioux Center was packed like that. Hopefully this will show the students and other folks that aren't always there that there is a lot of fun to be had at the Betty, and this is an exciting product. With volleyball and men's basketball, it looks like the Betty is home to the best athletic programs on campus this season.............
  14. He's an experienced player, good shooter, and will provide quality depth. I assume it means that we will beat FU by even more than what I was already anticipating, which was already a lot...........................
  15. I'm really surprised with how Lennon has struggled at SIU. When he left here, I always felt he was going to be on a similar path as Brian Kelly. Maybe not ending up at a place like Notre Dame, but I really felt strongly that Dale would wind up with the head job at a FBS, possibly a BCS program by now.
  16. Outside of Tibesar, I don't think your list is all that unrealistic, and I basically agree. Personally, for my wish list, I'd put Pflugard ahead of Bollinger, and swap DeBoer and Schweigert on your list.
  17. I think the fact that North Dakota has far more talent on their roster will result in the game being essentially over by half time.....................
  18. Offensive Coordinator at Houston and Texas A&M is likely to be a different experience than is one year of being a position coach at Pitt..........................
  19. IMO, the situation with Bohl at FU is not unlike the situation we had with Lennon 6 years ago. Bohl routinely has had his team in the Top 5 of their division going back several years now. Multiple national championship appearances and wins in Bohl's case. Always a favorite to challenge for the title. Lennon had the opportunity to go to Montana St., one of the better schools in the division above him at the time and he withdrew. Later he accepted the opportunity to go to one of the better schools in the division above him at the time and that was Southern Illinois. Bohl has undoubetdly had offers the last couple seasons. At some point, he's going to get an offer that he can't turn down, just like Lennon did. It is a credit to NDSU and to Bohl. He is a good coach.
  20. I'm not so high Bollinger because the guy only has a year and half or so of experience in coaching. Great athlete, great player, local guy, lots of wins at the collegiate level, NFL experience etc................ My question is, if he had grown up and attended high school in Bum@#$, OH, would anybody want him as head coach here at this point?
  21. Pflugard has crossed my mind. If he applies, he'll get a look. I don't think North Dakota is going to reach out to him......................
  22. This is true. Just off the top of my head, Bill Belichick, John Harbaugh, Gary Kubiack, and Gus Bradley are all examples of NFL head coaches that spent no time as head coaches in the college ranks. Who knows if Tim Tibesar will wind up on the same path, but in my eyes, that is the trajectory he seems to be navigating. IMO, LB coach in the NFL can be a springboard to much more than a less than elite DI head coaching position in the NCAA.........................
  23. I find it interesting that as a Bears fan you have apparently never been to Greeley......................
