UND92,96

Here's something you rarely see--Jeff Kolpack being critical of NDSU. He just tweeted that the only reason NDSU released the info regarding the Dorn suspension is because WDAY found out about it.

Not related to the topic of this thread, but Montana native Ryan Leaf is back in the news: http://www.grandfork...group/homepage/ For some odd reason, the movie "The Longest Yard" comes to mind...

My struggle with Goodman is whether he realistically has a chance to recover enough to play next year. If so, fine. If not, I'm not sure he warrants a fifth year on scholarship any moreso than Ashley Privatsky did on the women's team, who I believe got four years despite also being injured basically her entire career.

It's unfortunate that the scholarship distribution among the classes is so out of balance. It's not going to be solved this year, as even if some of the seniors-to-be don't return, those scholarships will likely go to juco players, which will make the junior class even larger.

Per Dom Izzo, UND has received a commitment from Mia Loyd of Minneapolis DeLaSalle.

UND's pass rush and run defense were very good last year. In his co-coordinator role, Mannausau is responsible for the front seven. From the outside looking in, it would seem he must be doing a pretty good job.

Wayne Nelson just indicated on the Herald's live chat that Kelling was not at the first practice on Monday, and that an official announcement of his status could come this week.

There is some speculation in the comments section of the most recent blog entry at SFI that Mussman's tweet may be related to a locker room/meeting room renovation at Memorial Stadium.

Am I imagining things, or didn't there used to be only one or two "play-in" game(s)--to determine who was a 16-seed? I kind of miss the "good old days" when there were 64 teams, period.

No. I'm going to speculate that some kind of big news happened yesterday, but the actual announcement of it will come from the athletic department in the near future rather than from Mussman himself?

You are correct. But the point still stands.

Nine double-digit seeds have advanced to the second round. And yes, I realize the NCAA wants us to only refer to the two play-in games as the "first round", but I refuse to believe any tournament can have 64 teams with a first round bye.

Crazy--Lehigh just beat Duke. Another 15 over a 2.

Norfolk wins. For just the fifth time, a 15-seed has beaten a 2. First time since 2001.

Great game going on right now between Missouri and Norfolk St. 15-seed Norfolk is up 4 with 3:23 to play.

No, and I've been checking often.

Coach Mussman tweeted today: "Big day for UND football. More later." Any ideas to what he's referring?

I haven't listened to the oral arguments, but I'm a bit surprised that after Durick made the above-quoted statement, apparently no justice asked him point blank why the legislature repealed the statute in the first place? Wasn't the repeal enough proof that the legislature believed the threat to UND was very real?

I'm thinking Al Carlson could sign an affidavit. Or maybe he's forgotten about a certain trip to Indianapolis and why the legislature backtracked in the first place?

Congrats to Mollberg and Labat for leading Detroit Lakes to the state basketball tournament, defeating Fergus Falls tonight in section final.

It sounds like NDSU has rounded out its schedule with Prairie View A & M (and will pay about a $200k guarantee).

I wonder if the teams were actually seeded based upon anything other than maybe throwing darts at a board? I don't see much of a difference between the resumes of UND and Seattle.

I think a good case could be made for Mitchell, Anderson, Webb or Huff for team mvp.
