I thought polls were "meaningless," made up of rankings submitted by lackey team water boys who know nothing about the total FCS landscape?

Quality, Character win for the UND Ladies against what seemed to be a very defensively sound Weber State team!

About Thomas Blake: Not much of a recruiting profile in basketball, but has one in soccer.... looks like a well-rounded athlete with mega school smarts. http://www.herald-ma...0,7502308.photo http://www.ncsasport...l/thomas-blake1 http://www.herald-ma...,0,307126.story Edit: UND info says Blake is enrolled and majoring in General Studies this semester.

Two things: 2012-2013 roster is posted. And who the heck is Thomas Blake, 6'2" freshman guard from Haggerstown, Md. He's on the roster.

With their best CB back home in Grand Forks.

About $20,000 (use of the Alerus Center per contract between city and UND)

After this post, I'm done with UND vs. Aztecs and the coulda, woulda, shouldas. But I can't help but think what might have been if three simple things would have went UND's way: 1) Hendrickson throws a completion or an incompletion on first play from scrimmage instead of a pick 6. 2) Chavon Mackey blocks the punt or misses it completely instead of being penalized for running into kicker and giving SDSU fresh set of downs. 3) Hardin makes the routine catch for a fourth TD instead of dropping it. Despite the poor tackling, lackluster running game and blown assigments by DBs, those three plays were complete back breakers.

You only think that way if you're an NDSU fan, or at the very least, a "double agent." (;

Official fall enrollment is in at UND 15,260 (563 students more than last fall's record official enrollment, or 3.8 percent higher). I am sure we will see more about this later today or tomorrow. EDIT: Make that 15,250

Nebraska.

Daryl Brown, und's best CB, stayed back with injury.

Poor baby. ):

For the umpteenth time: it's Schadenfreude (look it up) not jealousy. Why can't you guys get it through your dunderheads? Oh yeah, don't answer that. (:

In my best Lee Corso impersonation: "Not so fast, folks! UND University Relations just got a call from BBC America (based in Washington DC), asking about the bomb threat on campus. Is it really that hard, people, to keep this stuff straight?

As in Neanderthal-like, lower on the evolutionary scale and inferior intelligence = hence "knuckle dragging." Wow! I can't believe we constantly have to expain this stuff to these interlopers from down south.

Maybe WM is a snowbird. Who knows? Who cares?

He MAY be speaking the truth and not even know it. I am sure, in his mind, it's coach-speak aimed at his own squad, in case they're getting an itch to take Saturday off and look past us to their next game -- though he'd never ever ever admit that's his motive.

Maybe I can dumb it down for them in a way they can understand. If UND loses on Saturday to SDSU (God help us we don't), which very well could happen, as we all know, the Schadenfreude will be alive and well from the loyal opposition to the south -- and like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives.

You and I have been preaching "Schadenfreude" for the past 40 pages or so but the Bizon guys just don't seem to grasp the concept or what drives it. They act all above the fray, when, in reality, very few, if any of us, actually are -- me included.

firewall, as someone who did two tours myself and saw first hand the unbridled passion among people who for so long had been denied the right to vote in free elections, I want to thank you, and espeically your loved one, for the ulitmate sacrifice. There is nothing remotely tasteless about it, not that such remarks deserve to even be acknowledged.

It goes both ways. Don't act like you don't know this.

I think that and the inability to get a real signature FBS "upset" that we could hang our hat on. All those things plus the doldrums of lackluster patchwork scheduling that all transition teams go through.

You are correct. 9,200 = 2012-13 v. Portland State 8,500 = 2011-12 v. Black Hills State 9,700 = 2010-11 v. Northeastern State 8,400 = 2009-10 v. Stony Brook 10,200 = 2008-09 v. Wisc. La Crosse 10,700 = 2007-08 v. Central Wash. 10,300 = 2006-07 v. Winona State 10,600 = 2005-06 v. Western Washington
