Why is this not considered a "statement win"?

The polls are a joke but unfortunatly the joke has an impact on playoff teams selected. Being 7-4 and not selected was assinine and a poor reflection on the selection process.Sorry, not gonna get over it.

I think it is idiotic for our fans to jaw our players directly during a game.

It is a little easier with an All American at quarterback.

Did we win, I can't tell from this fan site.

Except the coaches that work with them daily, but what do they know.

Wait a minute...optimism, not sure that is welcome here. Most projections had us at 2-2 at this point, most say 7-4 gets a playoff bid.

Hold my beer A friend of mine heard there was another issue with pharmaceuticals in the screaming yellow locker room.

Side note they are recognizing the 1979 NCC Championship team this weekend and on the field at the end of the first quarter - names that come to mind are Tom Biolo, Henry Jordan, Paul Mukenhern (spelling), Dave Jensen...

I thought when they put together the committee to "enhance the game day experience" a few years ago they did send members to other schools - what we have now is what they came up with from that research. Not saying they failed because it's up to the students and fans to make the game day atmosphere. No committee could create what SU has and what has been shared ad nauseam is that football is #1 at SU. The UND Athletic Department has to split resources and staff between football and hockey in the fall - plus you have The Ralph keeping UND hockey #1 in the public's eyes.

Hmm based on their record how would they know what "clicking" looks like, and what if they have been "clicking"?

Did I read that as 3 non conference home games - they should rent out the Betty to the circus, monster truck rallies, rodeos.

Do students pay for all sports tickets or just hockey?

Yikes - what they do for students now is incredible compared for the return they get. Free bus rides, free tailgating, free tickets, prize giveaways for attending (numerous sports), scholarship prizes - students got none of that a couple of decades ago and were much more a part of the game atmosphere (of course there were no smart phones to bury our noses in at every break in the games back then).

Not saying it is EW this year but historically a B.S. team falls from grace the year following - I was thinking it's going to be Davis.

No it is poking the trolls and you rubes just never get it.

That could be said about all redshirts - could get hurt, could grad transfer their senior year? If Kett is ready play him, but I'd rather keep Schuster to four games and trade his freshman year for a 5th year senior year.

Scratching my head as everything I read coming up to this game was how improved SH was, how they brought in 23 new players (not freshmen), how they improved their lines - somebody drank the kool-aid because they got ranked right out of the chute. Then UND beats them again and all of our sudden they are a bad team and unlike other teams who make jumps into the top 25 after wins (and sometimes loses) UND still sits outside the top 25. Then we have to go on the road to EW where the odds are against us and almost every other FCS team - and if we lose all we will hear is "See UND isn't as good as their fans think." The poll system is whack and many of those "FCS experts" who make a living on the Internet are lazy about their research outside their region.

I like to think we have a chance but history shows that we've been destroyed by teams that have their best players on the sidelines.

Here police officers were pulling students off student buses after games and checking them for alcohol, so what was the unintended consequence of that - students started driving themselves to games and driving home buzzed or worse.

Can someone give me a ballpark figure on what tickets might cost, based on Vegas and New York?

Based on the first three werks UND deserves to be in top 25, even if it only lasts a few weeks. BS on teams getting ranked for quality losses and weak schedule wins.

Glad to see you are still monitoring every post made here and making sure to set us straight - you must not have a game to follow with your team this week.

Times have changed - except for the band, (which plays in Heaven there is no beer way too often), students just aren't into it the way they used to be. A random "Let's Go Sioux" or Sioux Yah Yah every once in awhile is the new normal. Also everything that used to make it fun is not allowed or is usurped by the orchestrated music and announcements. Can you imagine them letting someone enter with a long pole and a rubber chicken attached to the end and hovering it over the visiting goalie during warm-up - they did in the 70s. They probably wouldn't even let someone wear a hard hat with a red revolving light on it into the building (again the 70s), but I digress.

But I wouldn't be able to carry a copy in my pocket (unless they minted copies - now there's a fundraising idea).
