FSSD

Still waiting for 5 to get it rolling.... I think he killed UND down the stretch in GF. UND 9-1 run.. back in the game 42-45 UNC.

Yes, that was tough to watch..

I am shocked that they are not playing zone.. they must feel comfortable matching up with the guards.

Benton - draws a lot of contact when he drives

I saw that... this guy does not sound too bad. But, things have been going UNC way since I started watching. Overall seems like a nice broadcast.

wow - I have not seen an ugly free throw like that since SDSU..

2 pts in the 2nd half - 13:13 left 33-44

another lazy pass picked...

I just don't understand how you can have no flow on offense with 4 guards on the floor

Exactly how I want a team to start the 2nd half.. lets see: 1) Still can't pass the ball up high on 2/3 or 3/2 zone 2) Layz getting back on d 3) Layz d with the back cut

Nice to see Benton playing well... he gives the team another dimension

I like NAU broadcast... Montana had a bit of homer to them. But, that game was just tough to watch.

I am ready for the second half.. I am not sure that I should start a game thread ever again..

You might want to check the last 6 pages.. I think that goes to your boy Gothmog

Thoughts and prayers to the Mussman family.

I think Brookings had a problem with something like this a year ago... they covered it up with a pained football. But, I was told it looked very strange. It was for one of the big Bowl games in Brookings.

I think the radio guy called in perfectly - choke job by guards that have been starting for 2/3 years now.

I will let you know after the spring game what I think of the team next year - depth was the biggest issue last year and that will get better each year going forward.

What is included with phase 1?

Again, Taylor put himself in this position by signing a contract with a $10,000 buyout. He should be happy MSU gave him another $100,000 to just go away. I am sure MSU has buyers remorse and wish they would have stuck with the original contract of $10,000. NDSU fans should be asking Taylor why did you sign a home and home with a $10,000 buyout? My point is if you are an AD and you sign up to travel on front end of a home and home with a $10,000 buyout. You know the return is not going to happen. But, Taylor whined when it happened and played it out via the media to keep the game. MSU tried to end the return game. Now, MSU got a late offer for a FBS game and went with the payout route anyway (not sure about the stringing along stuff - more to come I am sure) and Taylor is whining in the media again. The reality is that the game was never going to be played if a better offer was on the table. So, UND should be calling out Patty and the MVFC. Because it was rumored that the UNI game when UND was DII had a home and home component if UND moved to FCS. Again, scheduling deals get broken all the time: I can remember the following: 1) UNI - home/home after moving to FCS for the DII game - rumor 2) UCA - buyout 3) Great West tore up a contract with Poly.. 4) Great West forced back to back in Vermillion because USD did not have its !@#$ together. 5) Idaho St - buyout Scheduling sucks when you are the new kids on the block. Now UND and NDSU are past that and hopefully they won't run into this again. PS - sorry about moving the response to this thread. But, I hate SU thread drift and now I am doing it.. I think that I am still pissed about the last 4 minutes of the BBall game yesterday. Best of luck to SUs going forward - Peace.

Sorry everyone - I am trying to eliminate my thread drift.. FB moving my response to the UND/NDSU thread.

-- thread drift - moved it to the other thread with well thread drift.. sorry.

I guess, I can add the FU AD to the list... grow up. I am sure UND was not happy about losing UCA last year. But, they did play out the drama in the media. At this rate - Lakes might be the most level headed FU fan/admin. http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/390293/

Hmm lets see two schools out of a group of 11 football schools complete a buyout and the entire conference is chick !@#$. Plus, I don't think winning or losing to FU had anything to do with it.. It was a business decision: 1) Play in an area that they heavily recruit and 2) make more money. Easy business decision, UCA bought UND out last year on a return trip. So, I guess you should add the Southland to your list of chicken !@#$ conferences. I don't like it but It happens all the time. FU fans always overreact like you have been seriously wronged somehow. I mean with all the FU football money - bring in the Gophers.

I have got to meet you tailgating next fall - dear god I hope you see the difference between the two lists. Big Sky Alumni (1963 to present) approximately 50 years - 4 teams have left. One is now one of the top mid major basketball programs in the nation, another is one of the top football programs at FBS. Another is a very solid FBS football program and yes Northridge one opps in 50 years. Gonzaga University, Boise State University, University of Nevada, and California State University, Northridge. Compared to... MidCont/Summit League Alumni (1982 to present) approximately 30 years - 22 teams have left... some closed shop on all sports, some got kicked out, some went D-III, some changed names and numerous others just wanted to get the hell out... and it is not going to change anytime soon.
