  1. And UND spends all of its money on servers for their online "students."

    *Online classes are a complete joke. I have taken a couple of them, very little effort required.

    Well, of course, NDSU online courses are going to require "very little effort." Try an accredited online curriculum from UND sometime and you can become an alum of a true flagship school! ;)

  2. I like what I am seeing out of Men's BB, after so many tough transitional years. All five of our starters from the end of last season's Great West champion team are back and they are all SOPHOMORES!!! Three more solid seasons (hopefully), including two seasons full-D1 in an autobid conference, to look forward to with this roster. I also like the fact that two big men, Goodman (6'8") and Wilmer (6'11''), are back from injuries this year. Don't know much about the incoming frosh, especially this Antwi Lenny kid out of Canada. Should be an exciting run for the next few years. I hope Jones can keep loading up like it appears he has been doing in recent years.

    Oh by the way, last year's 19-15 record was an +11 swing from the year prior! Very nice :)

  3. Too bad, but we needed to see exactly where we stand with this team, early. And BU is a perfect test to see where we stand. Hopefully, we find a way to gain a split tomorrow.

    Again awsome job with the updates. Appreciate your investment $$$. And with regards to my comments about the announcing earlier. I know where your coming from. I happen to think we are lucky to have very competent people for our broadcasts no matter what the sport at UND. I think we are fortunate in that regard. They make it fun to tune in all the time.

    No problem, green team, it was my pleasure. About the announcers, and not to harp on it, but they called Mo "Michelle" a few more times in the game. But on the bright side, we were called "Notre Dame" only once. Now that's progress, right? :lol:

  4. Dang... I didn't know the game was so early today. Hopefully I will be able to catch tomorrow's. Is the audio/video anywhere online?

    I had to pay $10 for the monthly subscription. Oh well, I figure it's like $5 for a ticket for each game. Not bad.

  5. BU wins 1-4. Sioux D gets gobbled up at the point by Wakefield while Sioux were on a PP. Got to make those basic plays at the point. It was a soft pass to the point and the D (don't know which one, might have been Furia) lost the puck at the blue line and Wakefield jumped on it and took it all the way. Shot trickled in on Ney. That was the only tally of the third. Sioux played strong the rest of the game after that. I hope they can build on that momentum tomorrow. The game was closer than score indicates. Lamoureauxs were shutdown, Karvinen is getting used to the college game and the other Euros passing was off. BU goalie was hot as hell after letting in first goal of the game 50 seconds in.

    On the bright side, I think UND outshot BU 32-30.

    I predict tomorrow's game to be closer, grittier and a Sioux victory.

  6. Yeah, you're right. I just thought the East Coast elite could do a little better.

    OK. Score is now 1-3 BU. Sioux speed was dominant in second but penalties killed them. They are up to 8 now. BU is 2-8 on the PP. Ney had no chance of first goal. It was by her before she turned her head toward the shooter. Really no soft goals by her to speak of. Wakefield has a rocket for a wrister. BU passes seem crisper than the Sioux outside of the Twins. So BU appears slower but better passing is making up for it. Our D seems shaky especially on the few PP we've been fortunate enough to get. I don't think Idalski minds the penalties, though. I think he'd say something like he'd rather see his girls be aggressive and take the play to them.

  7. 1-0 Sioux after 1 period at BU. BU is carrying the play after the Sioux go 5 for 5 on the penalty kill. Wiebe scored on a early break away 50 seconds in to open the scoring. Ney has been solid in net.

    BU announcers are brutal, referring to "Michelle Lamoureaux" and they act like they no nothing about Mary Loken, Michelle Karvinen and the other Euros, as they talked about UND's only big threats being the Twins and Wiebe.

  8. I know Johnny's just ribbing us, but all that aside, I too find this whole "online enrollment" thing to be a bit perplexing. There's a guy on the IN-FORUM Web site's comments section that chimes in with the whole "UND has a lot of online students" argument every time there's a topic even remotely addressing NDUS enrollment. I think he/she goes by screen name "Tony," and I can only surmise that it is the one and only "Tony" from "Cow-ville," er, I mean, "Bisonville" fame. Anyway, when you listen to this nonsense, it's like no other school in the university system has online students -- just UND, and you'd think that it doesn't take any money or resources to provide an accredited education for these students. They're just souless figments of our imagination that sit on our enrollment sheets to bolster numbers. B.S., I'm here to say that an online education does mean something and that it does take resources and expenses to grow it and make it as successful a part of UND's Graduate School program as it has become, especially an accredited one like UND has. It shows that a UND education is in demand from people all over the world. I don't think anyone should be poo pooing online students, especially, friends, supporters and alumni of a school that does the exact same thing, just to a lesser degree. It's just that UND does it better and thus attracts more of those kinds of students.

    All that said, UND's on-campus enrollment (excluding all distance learners) is growing too. UND Housing officials have been quoted as saying there have never been more students living on campus in residence halls than the fall semester of 2011. Lastly, and not that it matters one iota, but UND's on-campus face-to-face headcount is still more than the two South Dakota members of the so-called big-time"Dakota 3" schools. And the third one of those three (NDSU), is now losing population (though, they'll use PR speak and say "holding steady), due to overspending and poor administrative decisions made by its previous regime, to the point that if it doesn't get its act together, it might one day find itself playing second fiddle when it comes to face-to-face enrollment, too. Again, for accentuation sake, not that it REALLY matters. But the whole thing just keeps getting brought up.

    Whew! I'm done. Go Sioux!

    In the spirit of full disclosure, I stand corrected after doing my own number crunching. UND's on-campus enrollment is 12,032 compared to South Dakota State's overall enrollment of 12,725.

  9. Just so we are all working with factual numbers, the UND Office of Institutional Research reports, as of the fourth week of classes, Fall Semester 2011:

    Traditional face-to-face undupl. headcount: 10,544

    Combo (combination of online and traditional): 1,488

    Total UND students who take at least one class on campus: 12,032

    Total UND Distance education headcount: 2,665

    Total enrollment: 14,697

  10. 1. El Forko Grande? how racist, not sure what you are getting at.

    2. UND-Online? Any facts to back that up, not sure what you are getting at? UND has online students, yes, as do many schools. Online students are essential for schools in states such as ND, SD, Montana, Wyoming, etc. UND online classes are accredited, and essentially the same course taught on campus, these aren't Devry or U of Phoenix garbage.

    Whew! I'm done. Go Sioux!

  11. Sioux women beat a record-weak Delaware State (0-11-1) club last night 2-1 in double overtime in Dover to bring their own record to 4-5-2. The Sioux are now 1-0 in the conference. Rachael Loomis continues to be on a tear in her senior year, scoring both Sioux goals. By comparison, last year at this time, the Sioux record was 0-9-1. They didn't notch their fourth win of the season last year until almost November just before the Great West tournament. They are showing steady improvement! Go Sioux; beat South Carolina St. on Saturday!

  12. I'll be there tonight with my family!!!! Also, don't forget it is Youth Night tonight...all kids 8th grade and under get in for free. See details below.

    Youth Day

    Tuesday, Sept. 27 vs. South Dakota State (7 p.m.)

    - Fans 8th grade and under receive FREE admission.

    - 100 FREE youth t-shirts to be given away.

    - Postgame autograph session with the 2011 Fighting Sioux

    volleyball team.

  13. Pretty easy choice for Mollberg......sit on the bench for two years, then maybe play (NDSU), or go to a place where he could be the starter in year two. I think they redshirt him, and give him the keys to the offense as a redshirt freshman.

    That's my gut feeling, too (if he commits). Red shirt him and let him understudy Bradley, who could be a really solid QB with one year of D1 under his belt by that time, then in year 2, if Mollberg legitimately proves he is the No. 1 through spring and summer workouts, give him the keys to the offense. We might find ourselves with a very talented home-grown FBS-sought QB, protected by a massive O line, and a competent veteran to back him up for a year in case of injury. That'll be a nice position to be in early in our full implementation of D1.

  14. In honor of Michelle Karvinen clearing herself for NCAA eligibility. Here is a video that is supposedly her making an absolutely "sick" move Pavel Bure-style on a Swedish goalie. I don't speak Finnish, so I don't know the exact details of the game. I hope to see Michelle and the Twins making a lot of magic this season and next! :)

    Sick move

  15. So after four years of D1 transition we are right back in our rightful spot as the largest university in the state. That didn't take long.

    It's a fun thing to joke back and forth about, this arms race for students between the two big research universities in the state, but in the end, I think we should value quality over quantity. I think both schools are pretty good quality institutions, which is a testament ot the state of North Dakota. It will probably continue to go back and forth as far as who enrolls more students for a long time. But sure is fun to be on top for a while again. ;)
