Sioux already down 6-0 call timeout at 17:55 mark

Lenhertz injured his knee in practice this week, questionable if he will play. Bledsoe & Porter are benched for tonight's game for disciplinary reasons.

Just a question/thought out of the blue: Could the UND softball team play games in the Alerus Center? I see that UND has played in a tourney in the UNI-Dome and they are playing in St. Cloud's bubble-dome that they set up over the field at Husky Stadium this weekend. I also know that USD plays softball games in the DakotaDome, and NDSU has played a handful of games in the Fargodome. Perhaps it is not possible, otherwise they would have done it at some point over the last 7 years. But if it could be done, that could help ensure that fewer home games get cancelled due to weather, and possibly even be a recruiting tool.

A poster over on the Idaho State message board has indicated that the UND-ISU game will be a Thursday game, September 11th. If true, that would make two Thursday games for the Sioux this season since we open on Thursday Aug. 28 against Texas A&M-Kingsville. Also, McNeese St. has added Delta St. to their schedule which gives them 11 games so far. Although they say they're still looking for one more game, I have my doubts that a perennial playoff power like McNeese would add another non-counter like UND to their schedule when they already have a DII game and an FBS game.

That is all a pretty reasonable way to handle the situation I suppose. I do remember hearing Lennon say shortly after the season ended that they had contracts with all of the GWFC teams. I assume that since both Cali schools have realistic chances of getting at-large berths to the playoffs, the commissioner wants to put them in the best situation possible for that to happen, and doesn't want one of the new members to receive more benefits from conference membership than the other. I don't like it, but I get it. I did hope that the rare 12 game season would allow for the full round-robin schedule though, despite the non-counter status of the UxD's. If indeed Grom voided the UND-CP contract to create a more "equitable" schedule, I wonder if he will also force UND to travel back to South Dakota in 2008 for a second consecutive year? The Yotes currently don't have any conference home games scheduled, and that would be about the only way they'll get one. However it shakes out, I certainly hope that the GWFC starting in 2009 gives each member two home games and two away. With only four games a year set in stone for the next 5 years, at the very least, the calendar should be flexible enough that it should be doable.

Mussman said he is willing to take the redshirt off of anyone who can contribute. He was asked about losing a few recruits and said that was just a part of the uncertainty of a coaching change. He specifically mentioned that "Southern Illinois came up and recruited one of our guys after he already committed". He said although that is not "illegal", he certainly thinks it is "unethical". He specifically mentioned Kenny Watkins and Ian Rosario as the stand-out guys of the class. He compared Mitch Sutton's running style to Chappel's.

The ladies will be playing at Montana St. next year. Both the women and men's teams currently have home-and-home agreements with Seattle, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, and South Dakota. Other likely opponents are Utah Valley State, Texas-PanAm, and New Jersey Tech, all of whom had scheduling alliances with the xDSU's until this season, although I don't know if UND would be able to get them to agree to home-and-homes in our first year. Possibly every single North Dakota DAC school plus Mary will visit the Betty next year?

There is no way we'd be in this position if we'd hired someone with local ties, right?
