  1. According to a post by what I consider a very credible poster on the wisconsin sports network board, WR Jon Heimler (6-3, 189) from Menomonie is still deciding between UND and a preferred walk-on invite from Wisconsin.

    Can you explain to me what a "preferred walk-on" is? How does it differ from a "walk-on"? I heard it for the first time a year ago.

  2. Shawn-O, haven't you learned by now? If there is a chance that UND and NDSU are going after the same kid, as was the case with Cavil, and he picks UND, the bison playbook calls for their fans to whine with any of the following:

    1. We didn't actually offer him a scholarship.

    2. His dad played at UND.

    3. He was guranteed playing time, something we couldn't offer at ndsu because we're 7 deep at tailback.

    4. Dressler was too small.

    5. We didn't want him anyway, why would a player choose a school that won't be playoff eligible for five years? (see: Mays, Walker, Dragosavich, et al)

    This is just off the top of my head. Please feel free to add to the list.

  3. Bakken blog:

    Thoughts? There's not much question that the shooting and the margins of victory aren't what we're used to seeing.

    I can't quite put my finger on it. They seem lethargic at times. Not getting back defensively is inexcusable. Not enough emotion? They really miss Maffin and Jahner, and I don't really see anyone filling their leadership void. Guinn seems unsure of herself and almost tentative. She just needs to cut loose and realize how much ability she has. Karla Beck seems to have taken a step backward Langen and Kimbrough seem solid as usual. Seems strange to be talking about an undefeated team this way but I see red flags that are going to present themselves at the end of the season.

  4. With a probable recruiting budget of about $100, Mayville State again found two or three really good players in the off season. The Sioux had all they could handle tonight. Little and Youmans were both huge again.

    On an unrelated note, I saw Travis Mertens at the game. I believe he's been at two or three UND games so far this year.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. How is it that Mayville State is able to find a couple of guys each year that can play like that? They had 2, possibly 3 guys that could play for the Sioux. If you add those three guys to UND's roster and remove Hoy (I'm sorry, he's not good) and Josh Doyle, you would have a team that could go 9-10 deep with very little drop-off.

    I didn't see Travis Mertens, but my unrelated note for the night is this: For the love of God, please keep the ball boys from shooting baskets during every single stoppage in play. It is unbelievable. It couldn't look more tacky, then to have four kids out there shooting baskets during timeouts. And then a full-court game at halftime? There is no way I'm the only person who thinks this. Please UND, put an end to this.

  5. Of the players on the current roster, how many become Full-Rides? Is it safe to assume that all of this year's recruits are full rides? If they have 63 scholarships, and they use 20 on this year's class, how are the other 43 divided up?

  6. I've got bets going on this weekend..... So um yepp, kinda nervous...

    Oh also... Thinking of making posters for the games. Any clever ideas??

    "So You'll Play Us in Hockey but Nothing Else? Wrong Choice."

  7. Anyone else notice the extreme volume difference between the commercials & live action and a weird buzzing every few minutes?

    Yes. It's quite shocking. I also noticed that Dave Hakstol looks a lot like Dane Jackson.
