What is even more catchy is the entire list will be back next season.

Slowed down, it's hard to prove that ball went forward vs straight up in the air.

Five times this year they apparently have not been "on top of their game". Or maybe they have been and gotten beat.

Not better than Montana

Unlikely

It wasn't that they couldn't throw, they just didn't try. They could have named the score.

Pity party? We are stating facts about the Big Sky vs. MVFC this season. You know, like your game vs Cal Poly which you lost

UNI is 0-2 vs the Big Sky this year. Got their wins vs MVFC teams.

Last year it was results. Moving the goal posts again. MVFC is a very good league with teams that would/will present huge challenges to UND should they face one. I'm just staying consistent to last season that OOC performance is worth something. Last year the Big Sky didn't compete and didn't get a seed. Not the case this season. Results

Outside of NDSU one could argue the MVFC is slightly over rated so their are a few more top 25 opponents by voters. Last year it was all about head to head vs other conferences. Why not this year?

Big Sky is the better conference head to head.

That's not how the committee works. They also look at the quality of losses.

Don't forget that the Big Sky was a better conference head to head vs the MVFC. Last year head to head conference was thrown in everyone's face. Seems to be overlooked this year for some reason.

NDSU has won five....FIVE straight national championships. Successful teams have a pretty large fan base. Three years ago I was letting my five year old nephew take my three year old son to the bathroom at the Alerus at this point in the season because if they got lost, I would have heard them yell. Im not happy with attendance but also keep things in perspective when comparing to the most successful program currently in FCS.

Alex Reed brought energy yesterday when we needed a spark. It was on his reception with a couple broken tackles. He has been fun to watch this year and am glad to see his role expanding.

Really encouraged to see the athletes supporting each other. Big day for UND athletics yesterday. We sure we want to leave the Big Sky?

They will need to play better than today but I have much more confidence in our passing game after today. Mercur is developing into a big play wideout and the two freshmen just battle. Next wrinkle to this offense is TE seam and/or #22 in the slot with #5 in the backfield. If they would have done that today it would have been Madden offense down the seam.

Their conference is over rated except one team. The out of conference record this year proved it. Last year it was head to head vs other conferences. This year the Big Sky was the better conference.

Big Sky was a better conference head to head. SDSU lost to a middle of the pack Cal Poly. Weak argument.

All without a bye

Hard to argue with the best game. They were everywhere on the court. Seems they are getting better every week. On a side note, I didn't realize NAUs men's cross country team was the nations best. Very good video tonight.

Congrats ladies.

This is a good football team coming to the Alerus on Saturday that is peaking at the end of the season. Having to deal with losing their starting QB (who was freshman of the year last season) put them in a bit of a funk. They are playing well, must win to have even any sort of shot at the playoffs and would love nothing more than to ruin our opportunity at a conference title. Dangerous combination. Our guys have to grind it out for one more week and than they can finally enjoy the much needed bye before turning attention to the post season. The last few weeks have been gritty, not always pretty and I expect the same on Saturday. It will take our best effort of the season. No reason to doubt this team now.

Our administration was likely asked about it and had to give some response. A "no comment" would have not worked. You are acting as though UND called the Forun to talk about it.

I agree with you that he isn't but due to that man's (fan wearing shirt) stupidity, but it wasn't long ago that UND was called racist for non students wearing this and everyone seemed to think UND should be held responsible. Hopefully the same !@#$ storm does not hit NDSU but all it will take is one news outlet picking up the story and you are left with below. http://www.indianz.com/News/2014/013734.asp
