Good points, Goon. Now let's all give Hammer a good old-fashioned SiouxSports.com traditional circle of sticks!

Who is this optimist who has hacked the account of fightingsioux4life?

Fixed your post

NDSU Bison: 5-time National Champions* *yea, but we were a few plays away from being 7-4. Hmnnn...probably not being screenprinted onto the newest batch of t-shirts and hats at Coaches Choice.

Pacman Jones sure "made it rain," didn't he? As in raining yellow flags!

Pretty sure I heard that kind of talk in 2012...and 2013...and 2014...and 2015. If Chicago wins four more Stanley Cups in a row, my thoughts won't be "meh, the Red Wings are coming."

I was referring to Appalachian State - forgot that Georgia Southern won their bowl game too this season.

Love comments like this. NDSU could win another 70 consecutive football national championships and UND will still have some folks saying "yea, but our indoor practice facility kicks ass!"

Quick - Name the former FCS powerhouse that won its first FBS bowl game a few weeks ago.

Would you rather be winning national championships or playing in the Whatever.com Bowl Game on December 22nd every 5-7 years?

8 national championships in a row would certainly be a distant memory for a Bison football fan - about 30 years from 2019!

I'll just go ask the War Eagle boosters and see if they care that a bunch of geeks with iPads have them ranked #25 in the country right now.

SIOUXFAN97, my guess is you'd feel a lot differently about FCS football if UND had won 5 straight national championships...

Jacksonville State was also run out of Spartan Stadium by MSU last season. And if simply losing to top 20 teams makes you decent, why aren't Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the top 27?

And what accounts are THOSE? Auburn was 6-6 headed into their bowl game with Memphis. 7-6 is now considered about "20th best" in the country? Mark Richt was shown the door at Georgia - for finishing 9-3.

I'm guessing if you stay up and catch Sportscenter, you'll probably see highlights of the game.

The committee called for Illinois State to tank it at home in order to clear the path for the Bison?

Team could use those Schmaltz and Boeser fellows...

Sad to see some of these old timers leave us. Minnesota sure has had its share of coaching heartbreak lately. Rest in peace, Coach Sonmor.

To be fair, Minnesota's only in a bowl game because the interim AD promised the NCAA that nobody on the Gopher staff would drink too much or grope the college interns if they were selected.

it's a better match with the set than the yellow bucket, yellow jersey, green pants look. I don't get NDSU's love for that yellow jersey though.

NDSU's green helmets are pretty sweet.

Glendale bent over backwards for the Coyotes with that arena deal - a few years there and then they're gone. What a fuster-cluck that organization is. Bunch of carpet-baggers.

I caught a live show of TOTO in Poland on the Palladia channel the other night - they're coming out with a new album! I cannot wait!

well, the committee in charge of this assignment spent countless hours narrowing it down from 50 to 10, so I give them a lot of credit. It was not an easy task assigned to them.
