Turnovers, poor shot selection and poor shooting. This game is brutal...

I haven't seen a lot of games this year, but based on this game it's not difficult to see why UND's shooting percentage is so low this season (37%).

Pretty ugly game so far. Lots of turnovers and not much offensive flow.

UND starting four guards 5'8" or shorter.

It's hard to overstate what Roebuck has accomplished at UND. For example, among the dI and dII women's basketball coaches with 600 or more wins, the only two with a higher career winning percentage than Roebuck are Summitt and Auriemma. That's extremely impressive.

Izzo just tweeted that Ben Lauer is going to Minnesota. Seems like a lot of full-scholarship-type FCS prospects are going the FBS preferred walk-on route this year for some reason.

I also was forwarded the above-referenced e-mail yesterday. Crazy stuff. Almost sounds like the movie "Tombstone". I honestly feel sorry for the longtime residents. Sure, some are making a lot of money, but whether it's worth the (lack of) quality of life is questionable at best... I went to law school at UND in the mid-1990's with a guy from Williston who used to talk about the "boom years", and how much things changed for the locals during that time. Clearly those years pale in comparison to what's going on now.

UND offeree Ben Holcomb has committed to Minnesota, presumably as a preferred walk-on.

Kolpack just tweeted that Roebuck is retiring at the end of the season. I had heard about this earlier today, but didn't want to post without confirmation.

UND has a stretch of six consecutive road games coming up in a couple of weeks. Depending on how you look at it, it's either a great opportunity to reverse a disturbing trend on the road, or...well, you know.

Congrats to Tim--new d coordinator at Purdue.

Harvard's RPI is 144. This was a very good win.

Vandrovec just tweeted that Charles Elmore has committed to SDSU.

Big Sky just announced a new DirecTV deal to produce and televise up to 18 football games per year through Root Sports. All in HD.

Yes.

According to scout.com, Casey Jahn has committed to Northern Arizona.

You would think that's the case, but I'm not overly optimistic considering the question has been asked a number of times on the Wednesday Herald live chats, and every time Wayne Nelson has answered that he does not believe the SD Mines game will be replaced.

Here's an interesting tweet about something that could potentially have a huge impact on FCS:

He did.
