No. Tony Roland was never one that I saw touted as a for-sure difference maker. He never really stood out last fall. Tyler Coyne (before his season ender), Josh Leonhard and Francis had much better reps during practices.

My utopian wish for some day down the road would be an FBS Big Sky Conference with UND, USD, SDSU, MSU, UM, ISU, Idaho, UNC, NDSU, and WYO (coming back to its roots). And then EWU, Weber, PSU, SAC, Poly, Davis, NAU, SUU and NMSU could play in their own sandbox.

I've always gotten that same vibe. Hmmm?

I totally agree! -- Hey, wait a minute!

I thought I was sitting next to you here in section 402 row F. This middle age white guy is going off constantly on Jones and Shanks. And were up by 25! ( ;

No. He did come back and played well after hurting it. But ankles do have a tendency to swell up after the fact. We'll see. Wondering about Seales, too. He warmed up on Thursday night but did not play.

I still can't believe how well Avants has adjusted to the college game, especially as an undersized inside player. The look on the opposing, taller post players faces when he forces them to pass out to the perimeter or blocks their shots or when he schools the same players for a bucket underneath is almost worth the price of admission.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Oh yeah, well, my dad can beat up your dad!

Last time I checked Hooker is part of the team. Sometimes one or two people step up. When Hooker has had rare off nights in the past and we won, McBuckets 2.0, or Baldwin, or Crandall,etc. stepped up and carried the bulk of the load. Other times they won as a balanced team, which his optimal, but at the end of the day a win is a win. Yeah, I get it, it was a career night for Q but like I said, he's part of our TEAM and we might want to enjoy it while it lasts instead of always downgrading wins as flukes because of certain aspects of individual games. When Huff went bonkers against Bucky a couple years ago only to be countered by an insanely more bonkers effort by Frank the Tank, I lamented how we would have won that game IF Kamenski would not have been such a factor. But after I cooled off, I realized the "if and but" nature of my thought processes. We have to beat the TEAM that opposes us, to include every individual unit of said TEAM and vice versa. When Bolomboy and Senglin go off on us again this year and knock us out of the BSC tourney, Weber fans won't be griping about the quality of the win based on the team effort as a whole. Weber just expects Bolomboy to be Bolomboy and accepts that. We won't downgrade that win either; we'll just lament how awesome it would be to have such an impact player. Well, I say we do have such a player and it is Q. Let's start appreciating his game changing talents. Sometimes we just need to enjoy the darn wins in a conference where parity is much more than it was even just a few weeks ago.

Without Forte's big game inside for PSU, We win running away. We could do this all day. Ifs and buts....

Their record is deceiving. They have a couple of difference maker players, Forte being one, who they just gained the services of recently. They are a solid team right now, not so much earlier.

Seales is warming up!

I need to get my SiouxSports media credentials mailed in ASAP!

I think that's probably spot on. Rebels to the core!

So can we surmise that the theory it was the students who carried the water for the new FS name during the voting process was,shall we say, off the mark?

Of these two concepts, I like first one.

Great showing for a young squad ... keep it going against the Tide in Bama!

USC walk-off single. wins it in the 9th.

6-6. Going to bottom of 9.

6-6. Top of 9.

6-6. USC-UND heading to top of 8.

6-5. Hawks. Bottom of 6.

Last season's Freshman walk-on Palmborg will be factored in too next season.

Yes, it stinks for all of us who love watching their talents at UND. It's two years in a row now that we have lost a talented underclassmen from Minnesota to the Division II ranks. Pioske now Place. But I am sure they did what's best for them and their future. Much respect and luck to all who are making these decisions!
