FSSD

Who do you start? G - Panoam, King F - Eaglestaff, Woodson C - Kuljuhovic

Nope..

I hate this list, feel back for those injuries. I hope they are able to heal up and finish college.

Shawn-O don't forget - @RhettRingers

Well, you did start the sentence with "Philly fans" so a lack knowledge was implied.

I loved your guys shtick, it was funny watching others react. They didn't get it which made it even better. Looking forward to more coaching changes in the futre.

Mens BB game at the Betty against Weber St. He was talking to Midco accouncers at half.

GFH Writer - Tom Miller.

I need to be clear, Miller did not say it was going to be Fruechte - only that interviews were today and an announcement could be as soon as tomorrow. Miller did not give any idication of who could be.

It just seems like it is going to be - Fruechte. I don't know if that is good or bad. Miller was interviewed at half and he thought that it could be announced as soon as tomorrow.

Correct, I would be shocked if that is the number.

First, transparency is a good thing. Second, the AD is in charge of seccession planning for all athletic programs. If you take a step back and look at the last year of UND football from an organizational management standpoint. It has been a complete cluster. I don't see one aspect of it that has been handled appropriately. So, I think it is OK to question what is going on. As far as the power of social media, I think the single most damming thing for Bubba was the image posted on social media. If you track number of people and comments before and after that picture being posted. It was an inflection point for the entire discussion the tone changed overnight. Last point, UND athletes is not self-sustaining. Approximately 50% of funding is coming from a publicly funded school. Many of the recent football improvements have leveraged public and private dollars. I believe TIF dollars has driven a fair share of the recent improvements. IMO, releasing names of three finalists is not that large of ask when they maybe one of the highest paid public employees in the State. It comes with the territory.

They did it for the University President position. It is BS if they don't release the finalists. If they don't release the names, IMO it just because they don't want to take heat for screwing up, again. We need to know this information, so we can HOLD our AD accountable.

OK who is going to complete a FOIA request for HC responses to UND?

I think that one is on me. Just to make it more clear - I am from South Dakota - I have family and friends who played football/ WBB and track for USD/SDSU and SDSM&T. My USD football background goes back to "the Pitch" and USD vs NDSU national championship game. I currently have family playing on SDSU football team. So, McFeely reads my comments and doesn't understand my USD/SDM&T undergrad side and numerous connections on the SDSU side of things. I am more active on the Sioux Sports board because this board obviously covers UND sports and it is generally more active. So, if McFeely comments are based on my numerous recent posting it is really off the mark and misguided given my USD/SDSU bias. And for that I do apologize. But, the error by McFeely is really on brand for him IMO.

Just an FYI, SDSU numbers include stadium capital costs.

Is there a link? Or is everything behind a paywall?

I don't think SDSU is too execited about going to Fargo. See previous post - 7 point swing advantage NDSU. I would say USD indifferent, MSU and NDSU are laughing all the way to the bank.

IMO, none of your arguments hold up to any scrunty. In the purest form of competition many DII teams are significantly better than the bottom of the FCS. Your argument that DII doesn't count is based on some random committee emphasis that changes from year to year. Over the years it has been: quality losses, strong finishes, rewarding strength of schedule, they had an FBS win, apparently this year it is they played a DII school. These are all random rationalization by committee members to do what they want. So given this point, I am going with Occam's razor. NDSU as #2 and Ten St. as the 3rd team in from the BigSouth/OVC are because they had reps on the Committee. More political wins by NDSU at the expense of conference team members. If SDSU and NDSU meet in the semifinals, NDSU has gained a 7-point advantage before the game starts. I think this is a big deal for the student athletes and programs involved - SDSU got worked. One more point, MSU had the weakest schedule of the four and if you go with the "Recent" predictor they are the lowest rated of the 4 seeds and 9-point dog on a neutral field with SDSU. And 11-point dog using the "Strong Recent" if they play SDSU. The Big Sky doesn't want to see SDSU they want NDSU in the finals. The Big Sky knows its best chance is USD at home and NDSU in Frisco. Again using Sagarin Predictor: Schedule Rank Predictor Golden_Mean Recent Strong Recent 34 South Dakota State AA = 78.20 10 2 57.05(135) | 79.27 30 | 76.49 35 | 79.39 34 | 83.24 25 MISSOURI VALLEY (AA) 44 North Dakota State AA = 75.64 10 2 56.00(140) | 75.44 48 | 75.70 42 | 75.71 46 | 78.41 38 MISSOURI VALLEY (AA) 63 Montana State AA = 71.88 12 0 48.89(173) | 71.43 66 | 73.36 56 | 70.22 63 | 72.51 58 BIG SKY (AA) 68 South Dakota AA = 70.61 9 2 54.03(146) | 70.76 68 | 69.63 71 | 70.80 61 | 73.86 53 MISSOURI VALLEY (AA) NOTE: I have NDSU with a +4 home field advantage and SDSU with the typical +3 SDSU @ NDSU - (79.27 - 75.44 -> 3.83 with +4) makes the spread Even NDSU @ SDSU - (79.27 - 75.44 -> 3.83 with +3) makes the spread NDSU +7 with rounding.

SDSU - #4 USD, #6 Incarnate Word, non Playoff Team SE La. (MR 29/SR 32 - 50.50) NOTE: SE La. 4 wins against Top70. Two FBS games more than likely kept them out of the playoffs. NDSU - #3 SDSU, #12 ISU-r, nonSeed Ten St (MR 46/SR 39 - 49.51) NOTE: Ten St 1 win against a Top 70 Team - No FBS games - and bakery full of cup cakes. Ten St. in the playoffs pure politics. Your 3 playoff team is pure BS. Massey Ranking - MR Saragin Rating - SR

A quality loss? OK.

Yes, but apparently we don't mow it enough/or properly according to those in the know.

How so, the next best wins goes to SDSU with them beating a #6. NDSU is clinging to an ISU-R win. ISU-R is a bad team. SDSU looks slightly better to me because of the Incarnate Word win. At worst a draw. Non conference: SDSU: 8 - Incarnate Word, 29 - SE La, Augie, L to OSU NDSU: 30 ETSU, 31 - Towson, 46 - Ten St., L to Buffs. Conference: SDSU: 9,22,28,42 YSU, 56,110 - removed NDSU and USD games NDSU: 9,11 ISU-R,22,28,56,110 - removed SDSU and USD games And ISU-R is highly overrated: They played and beat N. Alabama, W. Ill, E Ill in nonconference and didn't play either of the South Dakota schools this year. Conference wins: SIU, MuSU, YSU, UNI, ISU-B and UND. They don't even have a quality loss this year. Outside of the top three team in MVFC. The conference was way down this year. And Both xDSU schools beat Missouri St.

To be honest, prior to SL/Midco it was hard to find a number of UND and SL games on ESPN+. If the long term is to bring NCHC and SL on to Midco then it a good deal for a number of SL teams (Omaha, St.T, Denver and UND). Plus, I like Midco production quality. Did you watch the ISU-R/UND football game it was the MVFC game of the week. No comparison between Midco and that other crew. Anyway just my opinion I am big fan of Midco+ (NOTE: Do they have work to do on the App - yes).

I think your missing USD vs NDSU was #1 vs #4... the other was #2 vs unranked. It shouldn't have been close. The #1 vs #4 is expected to be close. That is the difference.
