  1. Some of these guys are too young to remember the days of the past glory where at the Hsylop between 74-77 Dave Gunthers teams almost went 3 years at home without a loss something 45-1 at home with guys like Gunhus, Goodrich, and Lindahl.....

    Then Rich Glas in the 89-94 where they did go two years at home and never lost 34-0 with in state guys like Vonesh, Gully, Gardner, Jacobsen, Boschee.....

    Those were the days of great rivalries like USD, NDSU, SDSU. Morningside. These days will be the GloryDays of UND Mens Basketball, (IMO) they will never be repeated......

    Sorry, but even I am too young to remember Phil Jackson and the boys....

    D1 for UND Mens basketball is not going to be a fun ride for a long time, Coach Jones and his staff will have a huge challenge ahead in scheduling, recruiting, and fan support. I will be there, but will the students and the rest of the community is the question....?

  2. The only thing this team has proven is that it could win the DAC. They have beaten no one of any substance in the preseason. In fact, if I had season tickets to this team, I'd be really upset with the teams brought in to the Betty so far. Where is the competition? :cool:

    Think the schedule is bad now, wait til we hit the D1 dreamland....UND will be on the road for all games of any meaning for at least 3-4 years. then we will be able to bring to the "Betty" such D1 powerhouses like North Texas Institute of Agriculture....?

  3. Sioux men win their seventh in a row beating Jamestown 85-71. Keep up the winning ways guys.

    Nice job to Coach Jones ,his staff, and the UND Mens Basketball team. Seven in a row is very nice, longest win streak since 2000-2001 season....

    Schedule has been favorable, however wining is wining and hopefully this momentum will carry on to conference time.....Great Job so far.. :cool:

  4. Hedberg to Mankato?

    Mankato is going to be a little tricky.....

    They recruited last couple of years to fill 36 schollies, now they need to be at 24 next year...?

    If it is anything like most D2 programs, that could mean cutting funding for between 24-30 players.....?

    That may have already been promised schollies.

  5. Nah.....I'd have to go with the students chanting "F*** the Gophers" for the 28th time!! That's classless. Especially when I have to explain to my kids why they keep saying it......I told them because the students couldn't come up with anything better!!! ;)

    Agree....Higher educational learning is priceless.....embarassing ;)

  6. They were announcing scores tonight and said Holy Cross is off tonight.

    Which (IMHO) was not needed, win with class....

    Fans can do and wear what they want, and say what they want, UND should have control over PA announcements and this was BUSH league....

  7. If it is called Div 1 and you have to play a Div 1 schedule to quailify, should not Hawaii be #1 and now playing for a National Championship....?

    The BCS apears to be a joke, nothing more than a "POPULARITY CONTEST" for the biggest, not maybe the best college football has to offer. If the last couple of years have proven anything, anyone can beat anyone.

    The great thing about the rest of college football, NAIA, Div 3, Div 2, 1AA (FCS) they all have a true National Champion!

    When will we see a playoff....?

  8. I have to admit, I don't understand this thread.

    NDSU is in the wrong division to be eligible for a bowl bid -- they're in FCS (football championship = the division that has a championship), not BCS (bowl championship = the division that gets invited to bowl games).

    I agree.....

    However if there were not enough FBS teams to qualify, and NDSU did get invited somwhere I would enjoy watching that.

  9. Is this figure correct.....?

    The weather isn't really going to be a factor in the game. Both teams continually play in similar weather; and yes the Sioux do practice outside despite playing their games in the Alerus. At $20,000 a pop, who could afford to practice inside? The weather for cast is 35 degrees, 20% chance of precip, and a 15 mph wind. Thank goodness neither team is a dome baby!
