FSSD

who starting in the defensive secondary tonight?

The offensive line is firing off the ball tonight and running backs are running hard!!! This is SIOUX Football!!!

The Sioux offense looks good righ now.. impressed will all the freshman playing right now at the skill positions..

8 plays 40 yards - TD Brady - Nice drive - good mix of running and controlled passing game - score UND 30 Kingsville 7 11,434 - largest home opener ever at the Alerus Center

Half time - UND 17 Kingsville 7 - the D is getting pressure but no sacks and the offense is starting to get its timing.

Another long pass play... Danny throws a nice deep ball - UND 17 to Kingsville 7

Wow - we got lucky on that INT.. WR with bad timing on his jump... nice to see the Freshman making play when available

Lots of pressure but not sacks.. the QB in giving them trouble. It looks like the Sioux are starting to build steam..

All: Now that the Sioux are playing in FCS, I am looking at going to home games. Does anyone know of a coach service from MSP? thanks

The schools needs to put pressure on them to get this done.

I just checked and it looks like the 1440 site in under construction. I hope they pod cast and stream in the future.

I remember reading that UND's 2009 schedule was almost complete, anyone have any inside information on what the schedule looks like?

The only thing daunting or dangerous about the Dakota Dome was Dessler running wide open across the middle of the field for TDs last year. I believe that would be 3 TDs.

I will go with Genoway

I have to go with Oshie

too funny, do not care about the poster - never did .. I threw that away.. it was the decision making process to hand them out anyway - just a bit of disrespect by the WCHA and Xcel staff - yes, the staff that knew what they were handing out laughing as they did - classy.. Not sure what Holy Cross has to do with this - all U of M had to do was win the game!!

CORRECTION, it is called the Tombstone WCHZ Final Five Tournament - since I had the poster HANDED to me will a smile and a laugh... I have never called it by the old name. The Xcel and WCHA knew when they handed the posters out - what was on them!! - A unprofessional acts by the athletic conference and hosting venue. How they still get to host this evemt is beyond me - well, I know why $$$$$$$...

I am going with Bina

Get over yourself and SDSU - they won the first conference championship in years!! You still have not won any type of football playoff game. In fact, the only playoff game in the history of the school you had a grand total of minus yardage. As for SDSU academics, they are fine.. but nothing over the top. I looked at both SDSU and SDSM&T engineering programs. I went west to SDSM&T because they had more of a focus on undergraduate programs. Again, I believe most residents are very proud of SDSU, but not drinking all of your Kool Aid. Best of luck trying to win your first playoff game!!!

I have to go with VV today.

Thanks for the information, plan on supporting the program by getting season tickets this year. I know that the first year is a little rough and I understand why the conference cancelled the Poly and forced our return to Vermillion this year. Yote53 and gang you had better be rolling out the red carpet. Western Washington Wisconsin La Crosse - D3 (Good Program) Southern Utah Texas AM Kingsville St Cloud Walrus, it seem like you are a bit of a insider. Any tips on the season ticket process? Plus, do know if they are looking at setting up Hockey, Football Hockey weekends with some non conference foes like Maine, NH or other hockey FCS, or FBS programs?

FYI, I do believe that the last two Bison playoff games had around 5,000 to 6,000 fans according to a previous thread. It appears that both programs and fans are ready for new competition. If NDSU makes the playoffs, I am sure that they will have a full house. When UND makes playoffs , I am sure that they will have a full house. So, I am not sure what point you are trying to make by bringing up old information about playoff games.. in the case of UND.. I believe it was the third time in two years that the teams had played and none of them close (49-2, 42-0, 44-2). I believe that it was the primary reason for lagging attendance. - Have a good day.

I guess my only take on Puffy is that he is good for college hockey overall because he helps to give the sport more visibility. Up until recently, I have been a fan of Puffy and I have been able to laugh at his stick because he represents the rube in all of us. He just happens to be a Gophers fan. But I think this year he has lost me a bit on his over the top take on the Zajak cross check. He made some very misleading statements to distort reality like: it was a premeditated hit and that the hit happened after the buzzer which are simply not true and very unprofessional on his part... I am waiting for him to reclaim some of his credibility by mentioning Peltiers hit on Saturday a cross check after the buzzer - but nothing yet.. if he doesn't it all kind of blows up in his face and he nothing more than a simple rube who can not see the truth. KFAN and FSN might as well hire some of the guys off of GPL - no degree or credibility required. I never thought that I would say this but I like the Wooger more and more!! He actually called Peltier out on the broadcast nobody else at FSN had the guts. In case you are wondering why I pay attention to FSN/KFAN, I am the only Sioux fan at work and everyone else is a bunch of FSN/KFAN minions. So, I try to stay ahead of them by paying attention to FSN/KFAN.

I should let this go, but it is classic FSN and Puffy looking through those rose colored glasses, did anyone else notice the cross check at the shoulders of a Badger player on the ice after the buzzer sounded ending play for the second period. Not a word was said, no replays .. nothing!!!! after Puffy blew his horn for two weeks about the Sioux you thought that he might mention it to give himself a little credibility. But, no nothing as expected!!! - Good Grief!!!

I would not say it is forced, but I do believe that it will take some time to grow. If you look at the SUs rivalry it took off because SDSU and NDSU played in some meaningful games. Plus, both sides won. It was not one sided. I do believe that the same thing will happen for USx at the next level. It is going to take time. I was at the USD/UND game this year in Vermillion and it looked like a large UND group travelled down, plus it looked like one of larger crowds in Vermillion this year. So, I do not think that large crowds will be a problem.
