Penn State has a split with St. Lawrence as the high point of their season thus far.

and if anyone actually thought you had any credibility it is now gone.

This would be a huge statement game for UND. It would let them know they are capable of beating anyone in the league and hopefully would propel them on a nice runh to finish the season.

Was on the legion team that lost something like a 16 or 18 game winning streak against Mandan(they were pretty good that year and the years to follow) and I remember in the postgame meeting the coach saying "You won't need your gloves for practice tomorrow, just shorts and cleats, shirts optional" Pretty sure everyone puked by the time we were done. got really good at running bases and hitting the corners of the bags exactly as you were supposed to.......1 guy missed and everyone had to start over

Caught the end of the game in the concourse at The Ralph and glanced at the box score. Montana is a good team but this was a winnable game. The volume wasn't on in the concourse so maybe someone here knows and hopefully it isn't long term but how how bad is Avants injury? We need him going forward so I hope it isn't serious.

and still, this morning

Well, probably don't want to play fire wagon hockey with them but Denver swept them and they somehow found a way to lose to Michigan, UConn, and Vermont. But, yeah they are going to be a tough out in the NCAA tournament for sure.

Well. i heard WMU has "Row the Boat" trademarked or copyrighted or whatever.....but with his new salary, maybe PJ can "Christen the Yacht"

Could you imagine if Shank's had Avant's basketball IQ? Might have been a 1 and done somewhere.

I don't think being the 7th to 9th best team in the Big 10 is going to get you any shot at the national title....and at best 6th or 7th is what the gopher program ceiling is.

It is always easier to find a job while you have one.

If you mean it helps the teams who don't fully fund their programs, then sure I agree with you....if a team is only funding 10 scholarships and their competition goes from 45 to 36 that would help them a bit. I do agree that the scholarship cut hurt NDSU and it took them awhile to adjust to it. From what I have been told by guys who know quite a bit about college football and how programs are run, the veer offense was an "expensive" offense to run as far as scholarship money and in order to keep the talent and depth to run the veer while cutting scholarships overall something has to give somewhere else.

Maybe it happens more in football

Not criminal. No charges were filed in the end....character guys you want in your program? Nope.

That may be how it should have went down...but from what I have heard, it didn't. Players protest. Claeys supports them. Team leaders and Claeys are shown the 80 page report. Team leaders and Claeys say "oh, screw those guys, we'll play...sorry for the inconvenience." Incompetence by the A.D. and Prez.

As much as I would like to see USA beat Canada for Gold again on their home soil....Go Sweden! Plus, maybe Jost gets and earlier flight to Omaha!

Not to mention, the guys who rank the players will change their ratings....for example, if a 2 star recruit in the minds of the recruiting service gets an offer from a Duke or Kentucky, now all of a sudden he is a 4 star.

Really more concerned about conference performance in a 1 bid league. Do I want us to have a signature win...sure Would 20 wins be nice....sure Should have added, no less than reaching semi-finals in Big Sky tournament. In a round about way, my expectation is 18-19 wins at the end of the regular season so minimum expectations in the Big Sky tournament put us at 20+

I am not as focused on top 2 or top 3 this season as with the bottom of the league being down this year the records could be top heavy, so if we go 12-6 and that puts us in 4th---so be it. I do expect and I would hope the Athletic Department has the following expectations for basketball this season....not saying you have to check them all off but if a couple are missed, some others better not be. Big Sky Tournament Champions AND/OR Big Sky Regular Season Champions 13-5 or 12-6 in league at worst....take care of business at home and should beat SUU, NAU, and Idaho State anywhere you play them. Pick up another road win or 2 against the other 4(Montana, Montana St., Weber, UNC) 9-0 or 8-1 at home. Team is ready and prepared to play every night.

Correct. Michigan would have been the next logical choice from the Big 10. They really should just ask Vegas who should be in.

Throw out games against AHA gives a truer indication...especially when compared to HE and ECAC
