I am pretty sure this is the one. Details later today.

Per UND Media Advisory sent early today: UND TO MAKE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT MONDAY, SEPT 24, 1:45 P.M.

That's one we'll never live down, and deservedly so. That was the low point of the transition, and a much needed wake up call. Kind of like our Youngstown vs. Michigan.

I highly doubt it.

Sic, Check out WDAY sports in a few minutes... they might have highlights of "The Catch II" by Jameer!

Did you get a chance to see it, Sic, when it happend on Big Sky TV? Wow. It was sick. What an embarrassment of riches at WR we have and we get Oliver and Fletcher as redshirts freshmen next year and not lose anyone else.

Does it matter?

Ok, guys and gals, take this for what it's worth... a quick cursory look at the Alerus Center ticket site shows already as of Sunday evening with 6 ticket selling days to go about 9,620 Alerus Center seats as "unavailable" (presumably meaning purchased or reserved) for the Cal Poly game. By comparison, the official attendance of the most recent home game against PSU was 9,200 and last year's attendance against Cal Poly was 9,930. I would imagine these "unavailable seats" already take into account the reserved student seats but does not guarantee that all of those seats will be taken by students ( I can't imagine why they would not turn out in huge numbers, though, for this one). All that said, it looks like we are off to a great start for this weekend! Go UND!

So true!

We had 9,200 for the Portland State game this year, and we had about 9,930 last year for the Cal Poly game for homecoming. No reason why we should not break 10,000 for this big game. There's no early deer opener that I am not aware of, is there?

A little trip down memory lane (last year) if you will. Go UND! http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPID=6399&DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=205320968

Given how hypercritical we've been about our running game (and much of its justified), I find this headline amusing in the Sacramento Bee this morning: "North Dakota ground game too much for Sac State" - headline from the Sacramento Bee

Because they receive all the accolades, praise, glorification and worship when they do well (and rightly so.) Look, I can be the biggest homer in the world when it comes to UND sports, viewing things with an optimistic glass-half-full perception. But I also possess the ability to step back and see embarrassing (to the program) situations for what they are. In our culture, in North Dakota, drinking abuses are often worn as a badge of honor and are treated as high school and/or college rights of passage. I know: I've been there, done that. I understand the culture because I lived it. I had three "minors" (one minor in consumption; one minor in possession and one minor on the premises) between the ages of 17 and 20. In my hometown, police citations, no matter how big or small, were printed daily in the local newspaper. And in all cases when I received a minor, I was forced to bear the embarrassment of my parents, teachers, school and self. I am sure had I been affiliated with a program growing up that was as much in the public eye as UND hockey, or lauded for my skills and glorified for my heroics as much as our great hockey program and players enjoy, my photo would have been in the paper, too, along with a shameful write-up about me and my citations for minors. We would be hardly above the hypocritical fray if we washed people with praises when they did good but then turned a blind eye to or tried to justify actions for apparent negative behaviors. I won't even get into how this all juxtaposes with UND administration's desire to no longer be recognized as a "drinking school" or a supposed national leader in binge drinking among its students. With great success comes great responsibility.

I will be on vacation next week or else I would be in the Alerus Center. I hope the fans finally show up in huge numbers and make the Al loud as hell!

UND win... but I still don't know if we really know who this team is. Strange days indeed.
