Let's get the numbers on the front/top part of the helmet like the NHL and the UND on the sides. I think that would look sharp

Great move but the second post of the night for OD.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone! If you follow siouxsports, he should have been fired years ago!

Why is it perfect for some and not for others? Midco, UND and Neulion are all sending the exact same feed. The only thing not included in that is the end user and people have different systems.

I agree. I don't know what it was, but there was a different UND team out there today. There were mistakes which turned out to be costly, but the big defensive problems (for the most part) and the lack of offense weren't issues. It was turnovers and a few big plays. Stop those and UND wins this game easily. Gives you hope for the rest of the season.

Hammer really needs to stop giving everyone nicknames. I understand Mitch Mac and Mark Mac, but LJ for Luke Johnson? really?

Looks great for me tonight. Still no iPhone app here either.

Box score says 917.

Hey Jayson, Would it be possible for the new iphone app to display which games are scheduled to be broadcast in HD? Even under the live section, less than an hour before the game it doesn't have a watch option in the schedule. There are some games (like women's hockey) where I don't follow it religiously but would watch if it showed up on the schedule. Thanks again for your help!

Clearly, Sioux-cia is no longer allowed to post about this then...

At this point, line numbers mean nothing. He's going to send out the "4th" line more than the "3rd" line throughout the game. It's probably just sending a message to some guys.

The past couple years, I've been pretty hard on Mackey. I wasn't a big fan of his trash talking, getting beat for a big play, then trash talking some more. But at Idaho State I saw something different from him that I noticed today when I watched closely. He's going to talk to guys and be excited when he makes a play. He has a short memory but he gives guys credit when they beat him. Every time he went up to the line against a receiver at ISU, he would slap hands as a "good lucK' type thing. After he got burned for the TD he would tap the receiver on the helmet or head for a good play. He may talk a lot when he makes a good play but he knows when he has been beat. He also was the first and last player to say something to the fans, thanking us for coming to the game. I could do without the trash talking but he's got passion for the game and for the fans. He's an easy target for the fans to dislike because he gives up a lot of big plays but he's a UND guy through and through. I'll take his excitement and love for the team and game over some of the people just coasting by. I find it difficult to believe he was jawing with UND fans and considering the source, I doubt it ever happened.

I don't know how you don't blow the whistle when the guy is stopped like that.

At least we get the ball back get a good drive, some points and start playing D again.

These guys are having fun and enjoying things together as a team. I'm loving it. It's what has been missing so far this year. Hopefully it leads to points!

I've liked the runs by Jameer. Do it again.

Replay shows he was down anyway.

Joe is starting to move his feet and it's paying off.

Wow... what a catch.

Fire everyone at UND who voted for the new CBSSN deal!

That's why I said more. What comparison can you make? That one UND hockey game which featured the #7 and the #14 hockey teams in the country had more viewers than the other 23 games aired on one specific channel? It's great that UND was number one. But it tells us nothing more than that they beat out 23 games. The BU-UND game can be aired on NBCSN because it is not hosted at an NCHC school. Only home games at the 8 schools fall under the CBSSN contract. I'm guessing NBCSN is upset at the new deal as well and that's why they grabbed one of the bigger UND matchups as soon as possible.

UND looks excited! I'm liking the play so far other than Mackey's penalty and a few of Joe's mistakes. The receivers are drawing a lot of coverage downfield because Joe has been able to hit them fairly consistently. That opened up the underneath stuff for Miller's big run. It also left Miller wide open as the checkdown on the play Joe nearly threw a pick downfield. With the middle of the field open, he has to start looking to dump it off and let Miller use his speed to get the first down. Also, nice to see 3-4 UND tacklers in on nearly every play. Haven't seen much of that this year.

Love that our weapons are involved so far in the game be it as receivers or as special teams guys affecting where and how they kick. Very surprised how good this team looks today.

I am completely shocked that through all of this debate about the TV contact that you still haven't figured out the difference between national channels and regional channels aired nationally.

I was hoping to hear UNC was hosting the tourney this year! I'm going to have to clear out my schedule and make sure I'm able to go up to the tourney. Should be some great volleyball! Edit: Checking online, Portland State won the regular season last year so they will be hosting the postseason trouney. UNC won the postseason tournament last year.
