And in the back of our minds. It's our sad fault as much as the media.

Pitching change as UNC loads 'em up in the bottom of the 9th. UND does like to make things interesting all the time?

That's one out!

11-3 UND, going to the bottom of the 9th. UNC is up. Let's go UND! Pound the #1 team in the tourney!

11-3 UND... headed to the 9th. Let's put them away, boys!

Actually, there is quite a bit of good reported on, written about and ballyhooed in the media, unfortunately, that is the stuff that you usually turn to your wife or husband after seeing it and say incredulously "That was news?" or "Why in the hell was that on the front page?" It's only the bad news that we really remember and start message board threads about that go well into 90 pages.

11-2 going to the bottom of 8.

11-2 UND, headed to the 8th inning.

11-1 UND going into the bottom of the 7th. UND tacked on two more runs in its half of the 7th.

9-1 Top of the 7th. Good guys!

Tough game ahead against UNC. We went 1-3 against them this year, if my memory serves. Although, the three losses were close and, in the last meeting, UND whacked them pretty good, scoring more than 20 on them. Baseball is a funny game that way. Go UND!

Hope you understand it's the part of the bolded that you left off that I was referring to. I will be more exact next time.

That's a little rough. Bottom line is it's bigger news because of who they are: "Ex-Bison football players." It doesn't matter what their status with the team is now. Bizon buttfootball is huge in Fargo, and rightly so, the headlines are going to be bigger for these guys because of the amount of news the scandal has already gotten and, again, because of who they are. If they were Johnny Nobody who shirked his responsibility you prolly wouldn't hear about it at all. For those having a problem with them being referred to has "Ex-Bison," until they do something else in their lives that merits a new descriptor (i.e. serve on City Council, get elected president, work as Chief of Police of Fargo , become a TV meteorologist or whatever, this is how they'll be described -- for better or for worse. Lastly, Gene Taylor's a big boy. If he's asked about this by the media, I am sure he will handle himself just fine.

#5 UND knocks off #4 Utah Valley.

Bottom of the 9th. UND up 8-5. Bad guys up to bat. Go UND!

7-3 top of the 7th!

Are you sure the overall record isn't 23-20-1? I ask because I read somewhere that UND is guaranteed a winning season going into the double elimination GW tourney.

Wilkfork's mechanics are god-awful (not)! Jk.

Thanks! I said I was no good at MVC trivia, and I was right. I'll stick to what I know. Wish you'da left my quote off your reply; now my dumbness is there for all to read forever! Kidding... I deserve it.

Funny. I don't remember the offense being the problem in that game as much as the absolute excuse for a defense that masqueraded in UND uniforms on the Inferno turf. But I'll defer to your memory on that one since you are THE Encyclopedia when it comes to all things UND athletics.

TMac can cover Hardin all day long if he wants to. But who's gonna account for Golloday, Jackson, Townsend, R.J. and crew?

Tom Miller is tweeting that Chad's JUCO coach said he was competing for playing time with four 6-10 centers on the roster, all with D-1 talent. Situation was not much better at Colorado State, where he was one of only two sophs on the roster; the rest of the roster included 7 seniors and 2 juniors. And one of the juniors was a 7-foot, 280-pound solid chunk of humanity. Still, Chad has experience playing in the Big Dance, collecting minutes in the Rams' loss to Murray State in 2012 at Louisville, Ky.

On the flipside to the Big Event, there's this little doozy of a YouTube clip making its rounds recently: (WARNING!!!!! Profanity, gratuitous drunkenness and brief nudity ensues. Click at your own peril ) Go UND!

I realize you play with the team you have, but If you are into footnotes, UND played UMKC two starters down with injuries ( including our All-Conference first teamer) and had the poorest free throw shooting performance of the season. That said, this is the same lineup that forced SDSU to throw up a prayer of a dagger from outside to win it in the final seconds in Brookings. You might know something about the challenges of playing even one man down (Brauhn) against relatively comparable to inferior competition.

I think geaux_Sioux was always quite positive and complimentary of Braden Hanson when he was coming in from UNC. And his enthusiasm over him only grew as he saw him perform at UND, and justifiably so. So, in fairness, not all transfers have gotten the stink eye from GS.
