With a Richmond loss it doesn't matter. We must get a seed.

And has that hurt us?

W&M needs to adjust their defense to stop the run (as announcers have stated) if Richmond qb is out.

W&M has a chance to win this game. Does it put a little doubt in selection committee if Richmond struggles against a losing record team?

What would be the ramifications to UND if Portland state beat Eastern Washington Saturday? Wishful thinking but??

MVFC teams beat up each other and the reason given by valley fans is because every team is solid and good. BSC teams beat up each other and the reason given by valley fans is that every team is weak.

Not anything we can do about all this now. We can just sit back and enjoy the coming weeks. I look forward following a few games Saturday and hope for the best. I expect we will be seeded 8 by the time all is done. I never imagined we would be in line for an opening week bye a few months ago. Playoffs!!! From where we were - WOW!!! UND football pride. The future now and it is bright!

Thanks jdub. Doing a little math. If we got 10,000 fans at $15 a ticket that would be $150,000 x 75% equals $112,500. I am wondering what people think UND should have bid for the first round game. I imagine there could have been some reaching out for a corporate sponsorship?? Could UND afford a $200,000 bid??

Concerning the "bidding for a home play off game". Can anybody enlighten me on what is involved? Are we bidding to guarantee the NCAA a certain dollar amount? Is it a base amount and then a percentage? Any idea on what that amount would be? What all are we bidding? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Worst case we are number 9 tonight - best case maybe #7 - hopefully at least #8

Everyone is trying make the selection process scientific. Problem is that it isn't. Everyone wants to make points that their team is the exception to the process if it helps their team. If the exceptions don't help "your" team then the exceptions don't make sense. How can anybody really know who should be ranked where? The committee needs to makes decisions on situations that are impossible to evaluate scientifically. I always thought that team momentum counted - winning nine in a row should count a lot - cause it helps my team.

Personally, I think we would have a better chance against su than EW

Big play after big play. On both sides. It was a slugfest. Tying TD called back. Interference -some called and some not - NAU last pass into the end zone - nobody was sure for about 5 seconds. Wow! My first game in person in three years. Looked like a bad choose of games for a while.

Our receivers didn't seem to be any more open in the 4th quarter than the first three. Studs just decided to trust and throw at them and we went up and got the ball. There were many completions that the defense was right on us.

I lost track. Which injured players might be back in 2 or 3 weeks? Studs is banged up. Taj Rich, A.J. Stockwell, Luke Stanley - anybody else??

Football tickets would have to be between the 30 year lines or else I will just buy walk in For both, price has to be reduced or I will just buy walk in I am in Fargo now - thanks

OK I want to change my first message to: Pretty exciting that our only path leads through Fargo. That said, there are many teams dealing with key injuries. Who knows what may happen!

Any concerns about the uncertainty of conference affiliation with our recruiting? My biggest concern is the possibility of having to sit out a year of football. Would that be just for conference championships but allow us to be in the football playoffs. Lots of ifs and buts before we get to that point.

Too bad our only path leads through Fargo. That said, there are many teams dealing with key injuries. Who knows what may happen!

Any comments about how the tailgating went for UND fans? Saw a brief glimpse on TV - looked liked more than a few were dressed in UND colors.

Thank God. We are playing down to their level.

Looks like we go into half with a 3 point lead. Come out and score a TD first drive in the 2nd.

10-7 UND midway through 2nd qtr

Only short passes for Bartles. Nothing wrong with four or five yard completions. Maybe go long later.

We all will take a win. Problem is we all hope to see an improving team. So far we are only good enough to barely beat mostly non playoff teams.
