So two different sets of parents who live in or near Grand Forks and have kids attending NDSU come out to BWW and cheer on the Bison? Oh the horror! UND football improved by leaps and bounds this season compared to last season. Yesterday's FCS title by NDSU doesn't change that. Yes, UND has seemingly become the Michigan State-to-Michigan, UCLA-to-USC, or even Texas A&M-to-Texas of about 10 years ago in terms of being compared with NDSU, but where are those programs today? One could easily argue that in 2015, Michigan State, UCLA, and Texas A&M have now become the "it" schools within those respective comparisons. Does anyone remember when Washington absolutely dominated the (then Pac-10) Pac-12 and Oregon was a slug program? How about the golden days of yore when Colorado was the beast of the Big 8/12? Tennessee and Florida as the kings of the SEC? Yea, things can change that easily and that quickly. The same thing can happen in the state of North Dakota. It seems impossible, but it is not. It can - and must - be done.

UMD's Derick Johnson was seen earlier this week at Snap Fitness in Duluth working on his boxing skills in preparation for the UND series...

Anything less than a sweep is... ...unexpectable? ...unexceptable? ...inexpicable? ...unacceptable?

Pattyn must have really stung him good with that left hook to the full helmet cage. Owie!

Minnesota's in a bit of a pickle now...with the B10 Tournament in Detroit, they may be in trouble.

Yale and Harvard look spectacular in their jerseys. Also of note, that game is being played at Madison Square Garden.

Patriots gonna choke at home again against Baltimore? What's happened to the infallible Tom Brady?

I think you're spot-on with this and the other post you had earlier on this subject. It seems UND football took a step backwards today thanks to NDSU winning a 4th straight title...and UND didn't even play. That's exactly how it feels.

Congratulations to Red...that's quite a feat!

And it shouldn't even be that close.

That non-fumble on the QB sack was pretty iffy too.

It sounded so good, so I wrote it twice.

Racine shaking his head and clearly not happy...I don't think it's an injury.

Lehr picks up right where Wilcox left off!

Michigan might want to tighten up its D as well... As for Minnesota, their play of late is almost embarrassing.

Ease up on Fetch. He's one of the good guys.

Wolverines lazy in their own zone on that one...

GPL looking a lot like SiouxSports.com after an exhibition loss by UND...Minnesota is melting down!

Wow, big night for gfhockey...first the national anthem, then serving as associate head coach tonight.

Congrats again to NDSU. Incredible run. Kudos as well to Illinois State. This was a great game to watch.

Clutch drive there by Wentz. Extra point blocked? It could be the 1980's Troy State game all over again!

You had a feeling that NDSU not capitalizing on a golden opportunity at the start of the 2nd half might come back to haunt the Bison today...

Can't take a sack there! So much for FG range.
