I know he was pretty upset at the flagrant that was called on one of his players yesterday. And then he really blew his top when a hands to the head foul wasn't called against SUU a couple minutes later. Could have been connected to that.

You guys are brutal. For what he's getting paid, he's producing way more than he should be. Herald's lucky to have him. Schloss goes way way way way above and beyond for us, too.

You sound surprised.

No, I said I never went over there. I wasn't speaking for all UND fans. I think a lot do, but, only a few actually comment from what I can gather. Over here, you get the feel that the Bunny, Jacks, Salukis, Panthers, BearKats, etc. (insert so-called "rival") message boards were all shut down and that there was nowhere else in the world to troll. Like someone said a bit earlier in this thread: it's like AC is playing UND every week. This is odd for a fan base (AC) who made it so clear to us that they'd moooved on. UND fans never claimed to have moved on; we only moved apart. Now that we are coming out of the desert that was transition, we yearn (and sometimes obsess) to compare ourselves to the competition -- in the Big Sky and across the FCS -- especially when the biggest baddest brutha at the moment happens to be on the same block. Most of us appreciate/tolerate most of your two cents -- but don't expect us to have to like it. I don't think your arrogance has escalated to that level yet. Sometimes it's a family discussion. Don't expect to be welcomed with wide open sympathetic arms.

I never go over to that pasture they call BV. Is there trolling to this degree over there from UND "fanatics"? I'm talking on a regular basis -- not just a hit and run every so often.

There's some major editorializing and a typo in that last sentence of your story. Ruined the whole thing for me. Shoddy journalism bites.

Best answer so far from "the other side." I actually agree with this ...(and that the stature of one program is ginormous by comparison in importance to the other one -- may have played a role, too ).

DL Nick Jacobsen (Prescott) WI. verbals to NDSU. UND and Pittsburgh were also interested

Don't sweat it; they've been using the "Green and White" reference for decades -- way before the nickname controversy got nasty (as I demonstrated in another thread a few months ago); it's been "sticking" for years. They just do it more now because they can't sprinkle a few choice "Sioux" or "Fighting Sioux" references in here and there anymore, for obvious reasons. Just plug your nose, grin and bear it, I guess.

and Golloday and Jackson and Townsend and McGill and Oliver and Fletcher and etc., etc. etc. JoMo is licking his chops already. This ain't Detroit Lakes anymore!

Wayne Nelson's Herald reports suggests that they didn't shoot that well and they went 9 for 19 from the line. They had to overcome a 15-0 Drake run in the second half to put themselves in position to extend it to OT. Still Drake was going for the their fifth straight victory against UND and it was nice to see the ladies put a stop to that.

I agree. What about RB Jake Disterhaupt, 6'1”, 185, Moose Lake (Moose Lake/Willow River), MN?

There will be a moment of silence tonight for the two North Dakota National Guard Soldiers who were killed this week in Afghanistan and the one who is recovering from injuries in the same attack. Eric Linde, the son of Sgt. 1st Class Darren Linde, one of the Soldiers who were killed, is slated to be in attendance at tonight's game. I cannot be there tonight, but, I send Eric and his family my deepest condolences, and the same goes for the families of Spc. Tyler Orgaard, also killed, and Spc. Ian Placek.

No worries... I am glad you took my correction in the spirit in which it was given... keep up the great work and go UND!

As usual solid write-up and much appreciated, but I am pretty sure that Saul took the Bizon to the dance in 2009, not Tim Miles, since this is Saul's sixth season at the helm. Again, thanks for these great analyses, because no one else is doing it.

I was at the game last night and Huff definitely looked a tad gaunt, like a stiff wind could put him down. I was hoping that he could continue strength training and low-impact cardio during his injury, but it appears that an all-liquid diet has taken more of a toll than I would have thought. When is the hex going to be lifted from this team? First Nash, then Huff, then Traylor, then Chad White and SDSU, then untimely poor FT shooting.

This.

Sadly, I totally agree.

Huff is the difference.

Evers used her big body well inside and the payoff showed. Buck is emerging as a breakout player and the leader that she needs to be. However, she has to get a little better at shot-clock awareness... I think she decided to pass instead of shoot twice, if not, three times, yesterday against Air Force, resulting in a violation. Oh, and don't forget about Smart. She is nearly "money" evertime she puts up a 3. Wall is coming along but still not quite back to 100 percent after her injury. Brianna and Cy'erra are getting a lot better on and off the ball. I was especially impressed with Cy'erra's speed and defensive skills last night. Her quick feet and hands resulted in many TOs and near TOs I like Lauk's improved confidence on the floor, too. Same goes for Burck. We need to get Houdek back in the line up. Hopefully, whatever is nagging her is not too serious. Rothfuz still looks a little scattered out there and takes ill advised shots from long range. I like her tenacity inside, though. Josie Dillon is a work in progress but showed hints of an upside last night. Still looks a little nervous, but that is to be expected. Poor girl, after she completely botched one play that resulted in a turn over, it was dead silence in the Betty, except for Brew yelling at her at the top of his lungs, "Josie, what are you DOING???!!!" She looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole at that point.

Believe me we're dealing with it everyday... you guys won't let us forget it. I don't think there's a day that a dozen Bison fanatics don't drop by on here to exchange "greetings" and measure things. Maybe you just need to learn to moo-ve on if we're so lowly for you.

Has Huff been able to practice with his mouth wired shut? How ready will he be to step in right away and contribute?

I was at the game on Friday night (first UND vs. NDSU game I've attended in Fargo), and I must say that I didn't see two teams that "suck." I also didn't think that NDSU looked horrible, given that all of their bigs were sitting on the bench injured. If they would have had a stronger inside presence, they could have given Evers and Wall a run for their money, and the score would have been much closer throughout. Now I did see that Dani DeGagne couldn't hit from the field to saver her life, but that Linzy girl looked strong to make up for it. I guess what I am saying is that I think, this year, both teams might be underachieving and their records are deceiving. NDSU beat a strong Harvard team, with an Olympian at the #5 spot, who could hit consistently from 3. That same Harvard team walloped UND. I assume that NDSU had many of their bigs in for its game with Harvard. As for UND being winless going into the NDSU game: They had played some very strong competition (excluding the exhibition games) to start off the year and they played without one of their best inside players in Wall, who was injured. In fact, if you count the exhibition games, UND won every game it definitely should have, and everyone of its losses came against established Division I programs, that probably should have beaten them. Harvard was the only one that surprised me, given that we handled them pretty well last year at their building. So, I think the talk of the demise of either UND and NDSU in WBB is being greatly inflated. Both teams do seem a bit raw at times, especially, in the back court, but give both teams time to gel, mature and heal (especially at the Guard spots) and they'll come around. As an aside, I sat next to the Mothershed twins at the UND-NDSU game, and it took all I had to not lean over and tell them how much we missed them in the back court. That said, it was great to see the twins again and to know they're sticking around to lend their alma mater some support.

That's been happening for more than a decade, thanks to Fargo U's Uncle Joe, who's long gone now.

Why do you think people are anoiting Nash savior? No one has. We may be curious as to what a former Big 12 forward can do for us, but no one has crowned him the second coming. My big reason for wanting him in the line up has less to do with his box score than it does with the minutes he could provide to spell some of our other bigs who are continually getting knocked around in the paint and collecting 3 fouls before the first half is even over. That's why Nash's presence would be important IMHO.
