As far as the regular season, UND finished 2nd in a larger and better balanced conference. NDSU did win their conference. I would say those two situations sort of balance out. Now that NDSU is in the dance, UND needs to make the dance to hold service with NDSU. They played totally different schedules during the year. But as far as who is the better team, NDSU had a chance to prove that and they got hammered by UND when they played. That pretty much decided that unless they meet again in the tourney. Hopefully we will meet again.

Didn't the Bison move up when they weren't very good.

South Dakota is going dancing. They are representing the Summit. Is that a fluke? How strong was the Summit in women's basketball this year. I think USD's record was below .5oo this year.

USD drilled SDSU. SDSU is definitely not anywhere as good as they used to be . It is too bad we didn't play them this year. We could of had a clean sweep over the Dakota schools. We absolutely should of beat the Gophers too. We gave that game away at the end.

I didn't have any expectations for this recruiting class to start with. When you looked at who we have signed and who they had offers from this class could be a whole lot better than I would of ever imagined. This class could be as good as we have had (I know time will tell). I can't wait for Fall.

How do those attendance figures compare to recent years?

What is the link for Wednesday chat?

I think a lot fans would of accepted what KVLY did if they would have went right to the hockey game when the basketball game was over but they showed all of the long drawn out post game. I think that is what really irritated a lot of viewers. It just simply didn't look like they were really concerned with trying to work for what their overall viewership would of wanted. They made a mistake and I am sure they will hear about it.

KVLY doesn't even know UND exists. They are too busy butt kissing NDSU.

My biggest complaint was if they intended to go to the hockey game after the basketball game was over, why didn't they go right to it. Did they really need to show a repetitive 45minute post game ceremony. it was just a slow rambling photo op for Phillips. Way to drawn out. Enough already.

If UND makes the move to FBS, how quickly would NDSU follow?

He singlehandedly created a real unnecessary mess for UND on the nickname issue. I don't think anyone fell for the baloney that he really wanted to save the nickname. He knew exactly what he was doing. And it wasn't because he felt endeared to the nickname. He got a lot of enjoyment prolonging the issue and watching the mess it created. I would hope he isn't reelected.

The one thing I do know is a lot more people come to UND sporting events in Grand Forks than go to NDSU sporting events in Fargo. I am not sure who eats more apples or oranges.

Their back. That didn't take long.

Isn't it unreal the number of Bison fans that constantly on here posting. They must really care about UND. They for sure haven't got over UND.

I guess the part about beating the Bison is kind of low standard. Sorry I guess you kind of fell into that one.

Overall it is shaping up to be a good year in sports at UND. Our volleyball team won the conference and beat the Bison. Our women's basketball team has a good chance to win the Big Sky and they too beat the Bison. Our men's team has a decent chance to finish 2nd in the Big Sky . They also crushed the Bison. Our hockey team is currently in 1st place in the NCHC. Now we just have to get our football team going. Hopefully next year will be the start to that.

Bison fans have spent a lot of time talking about how much publicity their football team has brought to NDSU. They also spend a lot time putting down how little national publicity they think UND gets for being a national power in hockey. I think we can now officially put that theory behind us. T. J. Oshie and all the other 8 UND hockey players in the Olympics have once again put UND, Grand Forks, North Dakota , Warroad and hockey on the lips of millions of Americans and people from around the world. The Oshie game with Russia will be replayed for years and years. It will be brought up and talked about forever. We still have Parise, Toews, Karvinen, Eisenschmid, Tapani, and the Lamourex twins to also hopefully to create some more memories. Yes, hockey and UND are alive and well. The publicity UND, Grand Forks, and hockey has got in the last 3 days dwarfs dwarfs the pub NDSU got for their football team in one quick swipe. And that publicity will live on forever.

Bison Dan constantly comes on here and immediately gets put in his place. You would think he would get tired of it.

Like I said you wouldn't think NDSU would even worry about losing a recruit to UND under any circumstances, according to most Bison fans. UND has definitely got their attention.

The funniest part of the interview is that NDSU didn't want him to take a recruiting visit to UND. You wouldn't think they would be worried about about UND. I think the new coaching staff at UND has got NDSU's attention. UND is never out of the minds of the people in Fargo. They worry a lot about UND even though they say they don't care.

The next time a Bison fan swears they got everyone they wanted, I guess we all know now that that statement is a bunch of BS. The way they recruit will come back to bite them more and more often in the future. I think NDSU should be a little more worried about the continual police blotters in the newspaper of their players getting in trouble and never having any consequences. Excellence in the classroom and Bison athletes just doesn't go together.

You do have to get a kick out of Bison fans. They are spewing how great their team is and how bad UND is. To be honest with you, all I remember is UND kicking ndsu's butt in basketball. Don't the Bison fans remember that. Talk about short memories.

Bubba said they are not done recruiting. Bubba also said he was surprised to find out that one of the biggest draws to landing recruits was the Big Sky Conference. . He most of the recruits were really excited about playing in 9 different states up and down the western half of the United States. I can see where a lot of kids would think that sounds real exciting.
