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!

I'm not about to throw comments towards NDSU for the actions of these former players. For one thing there really isn't anything that NDSU can do about it anyway. I'm sure NDSU and their fans are disappointed with these former players actions. The only reason this was front page material is due to NDSU's success on the field. NDSU football is huge in Fargo and the entire region, that helps sell the Forum when you can put those items in headlines. Yes, in my opinion NDSU should have handled the original situation and current players differently.
Another reason is UND has had it's share of bad apples over the years and there is no doubt in my mind that we will probably have more in the future. Schools deal with kids who make bad choices every year. You never hear about them unless they are athletes, that's why they are news worthy afterall. It's unfortunate that people make stupid mistakes, worse that they fail to learn from them!
It's unfortunate that the press always seems to print the bad stuff that people do and very little of the good things get any press at all. I know many student athletes who donate time to worthy causes that never have front page stories about it. Nature of the media I suppose. Not saying that this story should not have been printed, obviously it is news. It would be nice if they printed some of the good things athletes do off the field once in awhile though.
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 that the quote is what the judge spoke over the players when there were sentenced. Since so many Bison fans thought the whole forgery deal didn't deserve anything, it damn well applies to them too.
"Not smart enough, grown up enough or sophisticated enough"

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. -
This latest story is not one incident. It's a series of incidents that show an incredible amount of stupidity and lack of civic maturity over an extended amount of time. In most states, what they did would have been serious felonies.
You simply don't get it. "Not smart enough, grown up enough or sophisticated enough" applies to not only players, but posters like you.
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!

UND split with Chicago State on Friday and came from behind yesterday winning in 10.

UND ends the regular season 23-21-1, heading to NJ this week for Great West postseason.
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.

I like where you are going with this but I think EWU pounded Illinois State.
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.

Probably the same sort of guys who shut them down last season.
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! -
The same UMKC that UND lost to at home that NDSU beat by 19 and 37 points. You probably should just keep quiet about the basketball teams.
Men's basketball has traditionally been pretty average at NDSU. The fact that NDSU has won a conference title in D-I is not too shabby. You'd also be wise to not talk a whole lot of game about NDSU winning the Summit only once, considering UND's (lack of) success against the Summit basketball teams. Women's sports are bonus, no one really cares about them unless the team is doing really good.
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 am not talking about anyone in particular, although I did go back and look at your comments and the word "awful" was used. I just find it amazing that you have very little positive on any recruit or transfer. Most fans of a DI-AA school would be excited at the possibility of a Big 12 QB coming to play, but it seems that many on this board want to find fault or criticize some aspect of him. This isn't just about him, this is my rant against negativity.
My point is that it gets old reading posts from wanna be analysts that shred kids in a attempt to make themselves look smart. I understand that you may not think a certain player is a good fit, good person or even a good player, but please remember that these are just kids trying to get a education.
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.

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