Actually it could be bad news for UND. MidCo could try to get the rights to NDSU athletics instead of UND. With a presence in Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo and NDSU football being the the hottest ticket to get, it would make sense to go after it. Also, what better way to get Fargo residents to make the switch than to tell them they won't see NDSU athletics if they stay with Cable One. Also, most of Midco's coverage area is in the Summit League footprint. The out state viewers would be more interested in watching a Summit League Basketball or volleyball game than a Big Sky game.

Klieman would be a great choice but as a Bison fan, I hope he is not interested. I think he may be waiting for Bohl to take a job at the next level as he would be the obvious choice to replace Bohl. He may be making more than Mussman made this year anyway.

Unfortunately, I think Muss is gone. He was the #1 recruiting resource in the State of North Dakota.... For NDSU.

Because its hard to write about UND athletics when you aren't allowed on campus.

Mr. Miller apparently is ready for an unpaid 2-week vacation. Although 2 weeks pay may be a small price to pay for not having to watch that team play again this year.

They left out "on a season low 3 pass attempts".

Not all schools can have the hard nosed, objective, critical "hold their feet to the fire" coverage UND gets from the Herald and WDAZ. I think Schlossman once wrote UND's top line had a bad shift. Of course after he was suspended from covering the team for two weeks, he came back around to the UND can do no harm philosophy.

I wouldn't say UND is getting good athletes. I'm not sure they are developing their talents and strengths once they get on campus. I'm also not sure this coaching staff knows how to put their athletes in the best positions to make plays.

Not until I saw the raunchy sign, until then I was fine with it. Seemed a little strange, like a Bison fan wearing a Bison football jersey to a Sioux hockey game, but nobody gave them grief for being there. Even several Bison fans giving them fist bumps or high fives. But when people saw that sign, there were people yelling at them until someone took it away from them. Not sure who that was, if it was an ESPN guy or security or just a fan.

If UND doesn't beat MSU without McGhee, UND won't finish over 500 this year. MSU without McGhee is not a playoff team.

Actually, the ones that truly looked liked morons yesterday were the Sioux fans wearing their jerseys holding up an obscene sign about Coach Bohl.

Hey, maybe ESPN will come to Grand Forks for "College Hockey Gameday"? I think that is the two minute pregame show before the National Championship game.

Listen to your friend Hayduke, anyone can say whatever they want wherever and whenever they want to, and that includes "Sioux S...).

Not questioning the right for UND fans to show up, just saying they have no right to cry about somebody saying or chanting something about the Sioux if they do.

Yes he does, he can see 5-6 years in the future. Maybe UND athletic directors can ask some advice from him so UND doesn't get those FBS juggernauts Idaho and Bowling Green on their schedule again.

UND fans on this thread said themselves that this appearance of Gameday is about NDSU and NOT about UND but NDSU fans wouldn't be able to keep from mentioning UND. Then why would Sioux fans show up at the event wearing Sioux gear?

Yes, but all ages and shapes wear t-shirts, Jerseys are worn by the athletes that play the sport, not by fans that think that maybe if I wear this jersey I will look like an athlete that could be on the ice, field, court, etc if I wanted to be.

Well, if you are no longer college aged or younger, you should be wearing shirts honoring your favorite teams, not jerseys. I can't get over how stupid it looks when you have a stadium full of overweight middle aged people wearing jerseys. A UND hockey game would be the number one culprit, a Minnesota Viking game would be a close 2nd.

Well, when a UND fan shows up wearing a Sioux hockey jersey holding up an obscene sign about Coach Bohl and his sexual preferences what would you expect?

Going for 2 with that lead is just classless. Hopefully UND gets a chance to return the favor in the next couple of years. He looked like an experienced head coach and not some arrogant young kid, you would think he would know better, Did anyone hear his explanation for it after the game?

Let's not make Montana out as a National championship lock yet. There is all this talk of how great the App State win was, and then App St goes out and loses at home to North Carolina A&T last week. Maybe not such a great win now. Also, U of Mont may get more respect when they stop backing out of agreements to return home and home series like they did with NDSU and SDSU or faking extra points up by 36 in the fourth quarter. Two things that show they don't respect their opponents and have very little class.

I for one wouldn't want a coach that was proud of a defense and thought they played well after giving up 300 yards to a running back like Mussman said after the game. It sounds like your color guy on the radio is big into moral victories just like your HC. Lots of one play here or one play there type of talk. But I have to hand it to UND, NOBODY plays harder.

The difference is UND had better coaching and a better defense back in those days against Northern Iowa. Honestly not trying to stir anything up, but I think it is true. I equate this UND staff to NDSU's Babich staff. Maybe not quite as bad as Babich, but close.

I don't know how this game will turn out, but I think UND needs to score 45 to win. It will be interesting to see how Bartels handles an FCS defense that can put a little pressure on him. If they throw the ball like they did last week, it will be a game. I say Zenner gets between 200 and 250 yards on the ground.

Size doesn't mean as much as you may think. NDSU linebackers would be considered undersized (210-220 lbs), as would their d-line (their ends may be 240lbs), but they are fast and athletic. KSU beat writer tweeted during the game how he was surprised by the speed of the NDSU defense. I have seen lots of 6 foot 300 lb d-linemen ove the past 8 years in FCS, and they typically get dominated.
