As usual, and like others, I was disappointed with the student turnout, but not surprised. UND really needs to move the two student sections from the center of the field to the North side of where the band sits. Those center sections are prime real estate that paying customers would happily use. And it just looks terrible to have that huge void of empty seats in the middle of the field.

This is where having no access to an autobid is going to hurt us this season and next. I don't think UND would even be in the committee's discussion at 7-4, and 8-3 would put us squarely on the bubble IMO. I think we have to be 9-2 to make the playoffs, which would normally actually be good enough to get a seed, but in UND's case would likely have us playing in the opening round this year. Agree that Idaho St. has even more reason to be miffed by all of this than UND does. Going into this past weekend they were still unranked as the 1st place Big Sky team. They lose in OT, on the road, to UC Davis who STATS had ranked at #14 last week. Davis climbs into the Top 10 with a win over ISU, but ISU still can't crack their poll. The whole thing is a joke! For what it is worth, North Dakota is at #12 in the Hero Sports Computer Rankings.

30-22 ISU end of 3rd Qtr.....

ISU up 30-14 Midway through the 3rd quarter.......

I heard we won. I can't confirm though because there is little to no live coverage of Summit League athletic events..........

Summit League definitely reminds me of the DII days.........NO media coverage. Thanks for the updates Oxbow.........

So I am having trouble finding where I can watch the game against NDSU tonight. In the Big Sky all the games were available online. We moved to the Summit so we can play NDSU more often, but now we can't watch unless we make a donation to NDSU, is that about right?

I've posted two tickets for sale on TicketMaster for the Bemidji St. game, Saturday, October 13. Lower Bowl, Section 103, Row P. $55 each

LOL to this poll. Idaho St. is in first place in the Big Sky Conference, and they are in the "Others Receiving Votes" category. I used to think the STATS poll meant something. Not so much anymore.......................... Having said that, they've also got North Dakota in the Playoff Field this week.................................

Hero Sports Computer Rankings Eastern Washington climbs to #2 Idaho State darts up to #4 UC Davis in at #14 North Dakota checks in at #16 Weber St falls to # 18 Sam Houston at #22 Griz fall to #27

Evan Holm needs to start covering the best the receiver on the opposition team. Harris isn't the best corner on the team anymore.........

That's actually pretty good. I like it......

I think we should be a top 25 team heading into this week. Check out the Hero Sports computer rankings. They go by BennettRanks. Not unlike Massey and Sagarin. Updated twice daily, currently have UND at 34...........

I'm glad to see that the Nickel Trophy has been making the rounds lately. Regardless of legislative interference, I think we should keep it. And then put it up for grabs starting with the 2019 game against NDSU. It's a big piece of ND sports history. Doesn't matter what our nickname is. It is a replica of past American coinage. A piece of "Americana" if you will. It means something to the older fans of both schools like me.

Agree they are bad. Biggest liability on this team as far as I can tell so far..........

Well, as sketchy as the O-Line and play calling apparently was tonight, at least the special teams were rock solid!

I agree that Adeoti needs to be on the field for a majority of snaps. That catch he made wasn't easy. Just a tad underthrown which allowed the defender to catch up, he had a chance to make a play on that ball, but Izzy held his concentration and made the catch. That play impressed me and in a high presssure situation as well. He's been thrown at so little that I didn't really really know what to think about him until now.

Seems to me Ketteringham doesn't handle it well when under pressure in the pocket...

Exclusively a 4 or 3 man rush so far in the second half. Dare has all day. Holm having a solid game. He is easily the best DB on our team.

23-17 SHSU 3:49 3Q

20-17 SHSU 9:50 3Q

Is there any way this half could have started worse?

No way was that a TD. Southland is bush league with their whopping 2 camera angles.........

Channel 790 on DirecTV a cording to the guide. Depends on your package I suppose.......

That's not true! Not referencing jdub specifically of course at all, but if NDSU went FBS, 90% of UNDs football fan base would be frothing at the mouth that the same move would need to happen the next day for us. If NDSU did away with scholarships and joined the Pioneer league, it would be the same scenario. Where they go, we will follow. The fanbase won't accept a schedule that doesn't have The Bison on it. That's why we are moving to the SumValley, no other reason. It is so perplexing to me that we voluntarily left a conference that FBS schools are apparently willing to drop down a level to join, while at the same time our new conference is wondering what DII schools could possibly be convinced to join.................
