Yet other UNI fans tweeted about how well they were treated by Bison fans at the game this weekend. Perhaps the UNI fan that was treated badly instigated it with bad behavior of there own? I think I may have heard of some Gopher hockey fans being treated poorly by UND hockey fans in the past. Hard to beleive you could find an unhappy fan of a losing team.

Santiago could have been 2nd team RB. But there are not 12 better LB's in the FCS than DeLuca. For him not to be on any of the top 3 teams is a joke and makes you wonder about this list.

Eastern Michigan is stuck in the FBS in the MAC. If they were FCS today they wouldn't be contemplating a move up to FBS. They would probably move down if they could.

As a ply by play guy, Michaels is head and shoulders better than Sweeney. And listening to him do a few Sioux FB games last year, you couldn't tell he was an NDSU guy.

How about start with national recognition, facilities, game day atmosphere, coaching staff, etc. NDSU's football offices, film room, etc are better than most G5 schools. The gameday atmosphere at most G5 schools is more like most of the FCS than like NDSU's. Ask the ESPN annoucers that have done games in the Fargodome and at a MAC school and ask which atmosphere is better.

Would you please share with us your connection to the commissioner of every D1 conference and every D1 athletic director in the country? Have you been to Terre Haute? I have many times, Have family there. There is NO support for ISU football. The city is a run down, boarded up slum with no money. Unless they can get Larry Bird to open his checkbook, which we hear he has not been willing to do for the football program. Wichita State would really be happy being grouped with UT-A, Lamar and SHSU? You are kidding right? Wichita State would add FB and jump to the MWC before they would agree to this. MWC would be vastly superior in FB and superior in BB than a MVC without WSU, Creighton, etc.

Yeah, Indiana State can't afford an FCS football team. They will NOT be going FBS anytime soon. They have no attendance in a horrible stadium in a run-down poor city with no support for their football program. You better try again SV.

Actually if both teams make free throws UND loses by double digits. And as much time as Jones spends on the court, it is amazing he is able to finish games. He should be getting t'd up for being on the court, even when the ball is on UND's side of the court.

His House?

Actually I think most of the critics would like someone competent to lead the UND mens basketball program. Someone that can develop the talent he recruits. Someone that doesn't throw his own players under the bus if a game doesn't turn out like the coach thinks it should. Someone that takes some responsibility if things don't go right. Someone that doesn't whine and cry and gets a commentator suspended because he said something the coach didn't like. I think for the most part the critics want better for the student athletes in the program, and they don't see a competent leader of young men in Mr. Jones. Now go back to your penthouse, eat your steak and lobster, go to bed with your beautiful wife Kate Upton and have you chauffeur take you to work in the morning. It sounds like you have a perfect life we all should envy.

Yes it did, From a 5 point lead with 8 minutes to a 20 point final. The game was closer than the final score would indicate. It doesn't help that they don't have Kory Brown and Jacobson played only 4 minutes in the first half because of fouls. They aren't nearly deep enough to overcome that. When Brian Ishola is playing meaningful minutes in any games much less a game against a godd Big 12 team, you have problems.

#15 in the country and #5 in the country, not that much difference.

No, they are on the road.

If it makes you fell better the Bison are losing by 2 with 11 minutes left tonight too...

And that 3 game winning streak had nothing to do with the competition? UND is in a great spot. They play a power running game in a conference where teams have to gear their defenses against a spread offense.

You are right. If there was a rematch, Santiago would run for 300 yards and NDSU would be lucky to keep their rushing yards in positive territory. And with Stick at QB, they wouldn't be able to complete a pass. I am composing my letter to the selection commitee right now thanking them for keping UND out of the playoffs. I am trying to think of a reason to tell the commitee to keep them out next year, but it may be tough with UND going 11-0 with 11 shutouts with that defense.

Sitting in a suite alone like he was at Scheels Arena last year during the NCAA regionals? My buddy told me to look up in the suite, Faison was sitting with all of his friends. He was the only one in the suite.

In case you haven't noticed, when NDSU gets a big lead, they get conservative and runnthe ball even when teams have 8 or 9 in the box. See the UND game, SDSU game among others. They like to run clock when their defense has proven rhe ability to completely shut down the other teams offense. UND. Santiago may be the best back in the FCS when he has a clean hole or a clear path to the outside, but he isn't breaking many tackles or running over people. When you are dodging 2 or 3 d-lineman like he was against NDSU, it is tough to get going. I don't see why a rematch would be any different. NDSU's front seven manhandled your o-line. It would happen again.

My guess is you will have to meet him in East Lansing. Everytime I hear Hennesey broadcasting a hockey game I hear him saying something about Faison and his wife being on the trip with them. You may have to tell him the final score of the UNI game. I'm not sure he realizes there was a game.

Walthal from MSUM would be a great hire for UND, but I think time is running out until he gets a D1 offer. He has D1 experience at Iowa. I personally hope you don't get him, but he would be turn your current talent into a top 2 BSC team immediately.

Paul Ralston learned his lesson though. How many times did he back up Jones and say he was right, they practiced against the UNI offense with their scout team Friday afternoon. I'm sure they won on Friday and should have won today too. No more suspensions from Faison for him.

I agree. Jones coaches the team to a National Championship every year, its just his players that ruin his great coaching. Just ask him. I would personally love to see him get an extension, but he should be fired before the end of the season. Don't give him any reason to keep him, like maybe finishing around .500 in a league you should be doing better in. His interview after the game should at least give Faison a reason to talk to him. You can't blame everything on your players.

I had hernia surgery last year. Felt much better afterward, so I guess some hernia surgeries are wanted. Some bananas and tomatoes are green. Point proven. The only FBS win counted as a good FBS win by Sioux fans is the K-State win.

Yes, Breunig is very good. Outside of Iowa State, I don't think NDSU wil see a big man that good the rest of the year. I know Weber is traditionally the calss of the BSC, but I see they were handled pretty easily by SD State earlier this year, but SDSU is very good this year.
