I notice Chandler Spearman has not been on the roster since the beginning of the year. She was a good young hitter. Best wishes to her in whatever she is doing now. Competition must have been tough.

Strength of schedule, strength of conference, past performance, potential for growth... I don't know... just spit balling here.

The new rankings are out, and accordingly, UND has two upset wins (Tulane and Idaho St.) and one bad loss (Austin Peay). Here is a rundown of how we and our opponents stack up in the new rankings and how we fared against them: 1. Texas (Did Not Play) 46. Virginia Tech (loss) 49. Texas A&M (loss) 57. Iowa State (loss) 67. Middle Tenn. (loss) 73. South Dakota (loss) 86. Tulane (win) 89. Portland St. (Did Not Play) 116. Northern Arizona (Did Not Play) 121. Idaho St. (win) 129. UAB (loss) 150.

I like this video even if it has no UND folks in it. The title is good too -- "powerhouse North Dakota" Kinda got a ring to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMNkZQU27CY&feature=youtu.be

2688. New VB record.

Great video with glimpses of veteran and new players (Huff, Nash, Hooker, Hobaugh, Calcatera, etc.) preparing for the grueling season ahead. http://www.undsports.com//mediaPortal/player.dbml?POPOUT=1&db_oem_id=13500&id=3069740&catid=9814&start=13.113

UND wins match 3-1. Wins fourth set 25-14. Way to go Ladies! Now go take down those Grizzlies!

UND up 2 sets to 0 against Mont. State in Bozeman in first conference match of the year. Set 1 25-12, Set 2 25-22. MSU was picked to finish 8th in league, UND was picked for fourth.

UND goes 3 for 3 this weekend down in the Big Easy, capping it off with a 3-1 win over Tulane today! They improve their record to 4-6 on the season.

Final UND goal scored by Marissa Ricci, a sophomore, set up by freshman Wujkowski on a 2-on-1! Future looks bright indeed!

UND beats NDSU 4-2 in home opener!

Yes

UND up 3-1 over NDSU with less than 20 minutes left in game. All 3 UND goals scored by freshmen.

Spot on, gentlemen.

I don't know what this has to do with the thread topic, but actually, no, Dan, the College of Education is the 7th largest college/school at UND, ahead of only Law and the medical school. Again, I don't know what it proves, but there it is.

Heard the football coaches might soon be personally delivering season-tix packages to consumers (within 30 minutes or less or you get them free). All you fans outside of Grand Forks County should pony up! Edit* It must be a local promotion (as in within a certain proximity of GF). If I hear more, I will post.

About right, IMHO. Now, c'mon, boys. Prove to us you deserve higher!

Does this pick up suggest one of our bigs won't be back? Edit** Just saw Tom Miller's story on this, and there was no mention of anyone leaving the team. Whew! Plus, it looks like we will be loaded with bigs, with Wall, Evers, Roscoe and O'Toole (all 6-3 or taller).

Frank-talking chef Anthony Bourdain had a great tweet today along the lines of: "Can't wait to see Biebs opening up for MENUDO at the county fair in about 10 years!"

Thanks. That always happens to me when I assume things.

That is big! UND's recruiting edge with that dude, over the others who've offered, is that he'd have a chance to play closer to home a lot more times with us.

Not gonna happen. The LBGTQ would cry foul. (;

That's what I was thinking, too.

Groupthink hardly. This is an awesome family squabble. (:

Something special? If my calculations of your age are accurate... you grew up in the Rocky and Bobby B. coaching years. Not much special about those halcyon days of yesteryear at Moo U, IMHO.
