Big play For the Sioux!!!!! 38 yard completion! Sioux ball on the UNO 4 yard line

Defense? Hello? Anybody home?

C'mon, defense.........Show us something..........anything

C'mon defense!

If the national committee had not overruled the Northwest region committe on selection day, this game today would be in Grand Forks, and on TV.

If this were hockey they're would be articles in the Herald about this and Buning would be holding press conferences for damage control. Earlier this week, someone that works for one of WDAZ's competitors told me that in the past they have been interested and put in bids to get the TV rights for UND athletics. On a couple of occaisons they did in fact outbid DAZ, but were still turned down.

I like what I have seen/heard of the Men's team so far. They aren't exactly setting the world on fire, but they are being competitve with some quality teams. They went to OT with Northern who is always a very good team, went down to the wire with Concordia-St. Paul who beat #16 South Dakota last week, and tonight beat Wayne St. who downed #19 Minnesota St. earlier this week. I think there is just cause to be optimistic about the future of the program.

What ever happened to Bigmrg?

You have to remember that one of those games was against Northeastern, coached by Rocky Hager. That game had alot of appeal to alot of North Dakotans. The other game was UC-Davis which was televised on satellite by Comcast. WDAY simply picked up their feed (actually "borrowing" the satellite and transponder that the FSSN uses), and sent down one employee, Steve Hallstrom, to do sideline reporting. This game was probably one of the cheapest football telecast that WDAY has ever pulled off. They did the same thing last year for the Montana St. game, which was NDSU's only locally televised game last year. I am very grateful for the coverage that WDAZ/FSSN has provided the Sioux over the years, which is all the more reason I am upset over the lack of coverage during the 2006 football post-season.

Noooooo...........not on the weekend after a holiday. BTW, good to have you back in the States, SiouxMD. You're contributions to our country are greatly appreciated!

I agree. I don't really agree with that, though. Forum Communications has the TV rights for both schools and (with alot of help from UND & REA via the FSSN) has put alot more time and money into televising alot more UND sporting events over the past five years. Last year alone I believe they broadcast over 30 UND games between hockey, football, and basketball. Which is why this is so perplexing to me. Forget road games, all home fb playoff games have been televised in '03, '04, and '05. Now this year we're two games into the playoffs and no TV for either one.

Relevant issue #3: If WDAZ had the foresight to put in a bid on a possible Dec. 2 game two weeks in advance, why did they not do the same for a possible game on Nov. 25? Very "small time"

On the basis that their reason for not televising is "due to a shortened work week". I apologize if I offended you PCM. I'd compare my passion for Sioux Football to that of yours for Sioux Hockey and if a Sioux hockey playoff game fell on a holiday weekend and was not televised, I'm sure many more would be very upset. But, like I said, it's only football.

That would be just fine with me PCM. There is a difference between an online article for an early regular season hockey game and TV coverage of what, in theory (not likely), could be the last post-season game our football team plays for the next 6+ years. This game is worthy of being on TV. Perhaps since it is a Holiday this week, we should e-mail Clear Channel and tell them to give Hammer, Stein, and Macnamara the weekend off as well. Afterall, it is only a football game. Give your folks all the best and enjoy your Thanksgiving. At least you'll be able to watch the hockey games in Pierre.

Lennon just said on the coaches show that Strouth probably suffered a career ending injury.

Link In other words, they are being lazy. They did already bid on next week's game.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention..........WHAT A FRIGGIN' JOKE!
