I never noticed this yesterday, buy there was video for last nights game available on UND Insider. Today against Eastern Michigan is audio only, but there is video again tomorrow for Monmouth.

Well at least they made alot of progress tonight.................................

I believe this Idaho team lost by around 45 last week to Montana.................

UND 1-12 on FG to start the half................ All they do is chuck up 3 pointers..........

Sioux down 5 at half........... Schuler has 10............. Lots of turnovers............

I've got 66% tonight......................lowest of the year. Must be the weather. Visionsat & 1.2 M dish.

Wayne Nelson Blog Utah Valley beat Oregon St. and South Dakota beat Wyoming last night. Also, Montana will play at UND next season.

That is the one that I visit most of the time........................

GF Herald: Sioux Look to Clear a Hurdle

If been told that the Sitting Bull is somewhere deep in the bowels of Memorial Stadium. My understanding is that the Nickel gets moved around from time to time and is usually not on campus. I recall hearing a story that at a time it floated around between Digger Anderson's apartment and the garage's of the assistant coaches.

That's actually not a bad idea...................

Here's some news related to realignment that actually has nothing to do with the WAC or Mountain West......................... UMass eyes move to join BC in FBS

Anyone know of a place where a guy can check out the DLP TV's vs the LEDs or Plasmas in or around the Red River Valley? I went to Best Buy yesterday with the hopes of comparing, but they didn't even have any DLP's in stock, only LED, LCD, and Plasma. The largest available was a 65" Plasma. I'd really like to pull the trigger on that 82", but don't want to be disappointed with the picture if I have to have it ordered in.

NDSU is not vastly superior to North Dakota in basketball. They will likely be the favorites and should be with a more veteran team. Bison fans would have you believe that the team that Woodside captained as a senior is the norm..................rather, it was an abarration.

While most have been quick to throw Mussman under the bus compared to me, the situation of QB succession is really the only point that raises my concerns about the head coach. I saw nothing in the last three games that would lead me to believe that either Goska or Hendrickson is the guy to lead this team post-Landry. In fact, I'm quite surprised that Hendrickson seemed to have vaulted ahead of Goska on the depth chart the last two games. I think North Dakota would have been better off with Goska at the helm, but Hendrickson took the majority of snaps to end the season.

The team has been doing a little bit better in the turnover area so far this season compared to last season, problem is that they are still forcing fewer turnovers. And we've actually outrebounded 3 of 5 opponents except for UNI and Wisconsin who are the best we've played thus far. This is a young team and consistency is going to be a problem. Mitchell is very important to the success or lack-thereof this season IMO. He got off to a nice start, but really struggled against IPFW and UNI. It also hurts that Clausen has been injured. With a healthy Clausen and an effective Mitchell, I think UND beats IPFW, and probably makes it alot more interesting against UNI than it was. Huff also got off to a fast start but has struggled the last 3 games. I expect that from a true freshman. From what I've seen I think this team has the potential to give good teams some fits on nights where Mitchell and Huff play well.

If I may, I'll try to get away from all of the NDSU v. RMU talk.............(for the record, I fully expect NDSU to throttle Bob Morris this weekend). Here's the FCS playoff bracket. So, what are everybody's thoughts? We all used talk pretty diligently about the DII playoffs.................let's move on up! I'm picking William & Mary and Eastern Washington to meet up in Frisco in January. IMO the lower bracket is all about Delaware and William & Mary, there won't be a close game until the semis. W&M beat the Blue Hens by one at home earlier this season. Seems like the upper bracket has more parody with Appalachian St, Stephen F. Austin, Eastern Washington, Montana St, and even Villanova. I think if EWU gets a second chance at Montana St., they'll come out on top. EWU has been playing much better football the 2nd half of the season than has MSU. App St. has to be the favorite, out of the upper bracket, the Big Sky fan in me has to root for EWU or MSU if they get there. Also, I'm not positve that App St. would match up well with Stephen F. Austin if they meet up. As of now (the day before ) I'm picking Eastern Washington to win it all, defeating William & Mary in the title game. I reserve my right to reconsider Saturday night.

I'm on record via countless posts as to why I prefer the Big Sky over the Summit League or any combination of Summit League/MVFC/Big Sky/Southland/ Independent that I'll try not to repeat here again and again............ To me, it is kind of like choosing between the Big East and the Big 10....................not such a hard decision. Both are AQ leages and have their merits, but the choice is obvious. That sounds great to me. I haven't lost sleep over not playing NDSU or SDSU in football the last 7 years, I won't in the future. I agree the game will eventually happen................................it will happen exactly 2 football seasons after Gene Taylor leaves NDSU. It is funny how the only time Taylor has went to the newspapers to point out that he "contacted" North Dakota about a game was when it was for a date that UND has had publicly scheduled with and FBS oppenent for well over a year. What happened to being "sensitive" to the Summit League's stance on scheduling North Daktota?

The staff, including Mussman, headed out on the recruiting trail.

Wilmer looks like he really beefed up......................

Mussman isn't the offensive coordinator anymore, he doesn't call the plays. When he did call the plays, from 2001-2007, UND broke pretty much every offensive record of significance in school history.
