Baffling, it shows up in the database as a non-conference game. I'll look into it. Thanks! Update -- fixed. I apparently broke it a month or so ago when I started to include NC games to make this nifty standings page and this was the first non-conference game between conferencemates that exposed the mistake. Thanks again!

Welcome, and I hope you find this forum useful! A few thoughts on it: It's a place for SiouxSports.com members and fans to make sure their unused tickets land with a fellow fan To that end, please don't try to get rich but just try to recoup your own fair cost for tickets you trade via this forum What's fair cost may vary, e.g. some may consider their ticket cost to include a portion of an FSC membership that was mandatory for purchase This forum is just a meeting place for buyers and sellers, SiouxSports.com is not a party to any private transaction that occurs as a result of a meeting here. Please exercise caution, as we cannot identify the counterparty of any private transaction or guarantee such transactions in any way.

Though the GLI made it a LOT harder, quite a few chances About 1/6 of all possible remaining outcomes land the Sioux in the top 15 of PWR. It's clearly within UND's own destiny to determine if it lands in that sixth. Then there's always the conference tournament... If UND can turn it around in '09, I'll see them in D.C.

Check out my post, Swept at the GLI -- How harmful to PWR? for my attempt to quantify the damage. Though the PairWise Predictor isn't finished and ready for public consumption yet, I think the results are good enough to post in aggregate like that.

I had found those two in a previous search and jotted them down, and was coincidentally on while you were updating, so wanted to take the chance to use them...

Happy Feast of Stephen (Dec. 26) 1282 -- WBB: Field goals attempted by Pam Solseth from 1976-80 (#5 all time record)

Merry Christmas... [Dec. 25] 1283 -- FB: Regular season rushing yards by Phillip Moore in 1996 (#4 all time record) (me jumping in here is definitely going to confuse siouxmd who is undoubtedly feverishly searching for a 1283 )

The pairwise comparisons used to seed the NCAA tournament are made once -- at the end of the conference tournaments. The page linked above (and quite a few others on the Internet that do the same thing) ranks teams based on what those comparisons would be if the season ended right now. I wrote this explanation of PWR a couple years ago (one thing that has changed is that TUCs are now the top 25 teams in RPI, not teams with RPIs over .500). College Hockey News has a much better, but also much longer, explanation of NCAA tournament seeding. Mimics the method.

Your original point about the ticket sale policy is well-received, we thank you for bringing it to our attention, and we're discussing what to do about that in the future. However, please also stop badgering the original poster. I don't see him dishing anything out or shoes changing feet, but if this is related to some personal beef outside the forum, please leave it there.

Sid the Kid breaks his scoring slump (or does he?)... Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh highlights I had to include the full game highlights to get the slo-mo replay. It's the last goal, game winner in OT, so you have to sit through about 3.5 mins of highlights. Lots of talk that it should've been a no-goal; looks like it was below the crossbar, or at least inconclusive, to me. I say goal.

Holy cow. Just saw the score on gfherald.com and stopped by to make sure it had been posted. Women's basketball: UND 111, Mayville 27

Nice to see that the budget is growing at the rate the consultants said would be needed for the transition. The numbers can always be made to reconcile at the end of the year, but I also haven't heard much yet about significant budget pressure (though haven't exactly had my ear to the ground, either).

Though they've had pretty good coverage of my area for a year or two, they still don't actually have my apartment's street. They seem to have expunged the poor kid's embarrassment, but I remember last Spring when this was making the rounds on the tubes: Google Street View of kid falling off bike. Poor kid. More Fun with Street View

Being in a remote, sparsely populated state no longer spares North Dakotans from having their homes viewable on the Internet. Street View: A year in review, and what's new New Street View coverage:

Great! I find it really handy to be able to just go to the page and not have to dig through the discussion to see the current status. Not great

No, you don't have to pay. But yes, it is unnecessarily complicated. After following this link (which is the most direct I can figure out how to link), you choose the Live Events tab and click the game. It often claims to be premium, but it's not. I've found that sometimes I need to login again in the left-hand media pane, or click play under the media pane to get it working.

Thanks guys! What a run -- 3 trips to the playoffs in 3 years in D-II. 4 smackdowns of Winona St. I won't mention the record vs. GVSU A winning first season of D-I football and first GWFC win. As others above said, thanks especially for mustering the win at the DakotaDome to cap UND's intro to D-I right!
