Agree; I think many of us get weary of the (constant) negativity. Let's at least give them spring practice, fall camp and a few games into the season before passing judgement. I expect at least one of the four to step up and be the quarterback that our offense needs to lead us to a succesful season.

I think the pro-nicknamers are finally holding some of the cards, but I am really concerned that, due to the mixture of pro-nicknamers and neutral or anti-nicknamers in the North Dakota delegation, that the North Dakota delegation won't push the case for keeping the nickname aggressively enough. This may be our last shot, so it needs to be a good one. I think they really need to go on the offensive.

Quit muddying the waters with all those facts. It tends to be a real debate-killer.

I suggest that you or somebody get Capt. Burggraff to help compose another letter to Mr. Faison.

When travelling that distance, I always try to go when there's both football and hockey so, of course, I wouldn't go if there weren't both.

I, for one, plan on driving from Kansas City to Grand Forks for the Montana Western/Ice Breaker weekend in Oct. I love Sioux football and hockey (and basketball) and I'm sure not going to let the fact that we're not playing NDSU, USD, SDSU, or whoever that weekend keep me from going to a Sioux football game.

The point's already been made by UNDvince and others. As to the people who are on budgets, work weekends, etc., they probably wouldn't be attending a good FCS, nonconference home game, anyway.

Well put.

South Dakota State's women's team was one win away from the Sweet 16 2 or 3 yrs. ago; I think it was their first year of eligibility. I believe they lost to Baylor in OT or they'd have been in the Sweet 16, so it can be done. And, yes, it can be done by one of the Dakota schools. Maybe not on a regular basis, but it can be done.

Looked more like good, honest input than harrassment.

I think his post was in reference to the travel involved with respect to the two schools.

That last goal was one of the prettiest that I've ever seen; the goalie never knew what hit him. That was SportsCenter material.

What were the shots on goal in the 1st? Thanks.

Sioux within 4 (48-44) with 11:33 to play.

Nice! An upset win tomorrow and they finish the season with a winning record. Not bad, after starting the season 2-11, I believe.

Based on the updates, a 23-3 run, starting late in the first half. Nice.

Looks like a pretty nice last 3 minutes of the half for UND. What happened?

Any updates yet? Thanks.

Thanks for the updates; keep 'em comin'.

37-32 UNC Halftime Edit: Hambone's got quicker fingers.

What's going on? ESPN has the Sioux UP 13-9 early.

Both Dan and Sioux2013 are excellent supporters of the Sioux BB team. I think Sioux2013's comment was perhaps more of a knee-jerk response to the general negativity that sometimes pervades this thread, even after a good win, than it was to Dan's comment. Speaking for myself, the negativity, especially when things aren't going the way that we'd all like, DOES get old. It would have been interesting to have had a return match with the Bison this month on our home court.

Good point. I saw the Sioux play @ UMKC a month or so ago and, even though they lost to a decent UMKC team after leading most of the game, I was impressed by the potential of this exceptionally young squad, as well as by how hard they played. I think that if this team stays together and adds a couple of more good calibre players, especially bigs, they a have a chance to do more than compete iin our first year of being playoff eligible.

UND 79 HBU 70 1:00 to play.
