It's pretty simple actually. When they were comparing UND to WIU they used criteria that they felt favored WIU....nevermind that using that same criteria would put UND ahead of EIU, SHSU, and UNH.

When they were comparing UND to SHSU they used criteria that they felt favored SHSU....nevermind that using that same criteria would put UND ahead of WIU, EIU, and UNH. When they were comparing UND to UNH.....umm, nevermind they never really even tried to explain that one.

Nielson is a pretty good coach. Kind of Ironic that his team is one of the 4 teams that gets in at our expense seeing as how Bubba handed him 2 national titles at UMD.....guess he really owes Bubba a couple favors now.

Drake was only 1 win away from being playoff eligible or was maybe already playoff eligible(hard to keep track).... and had a quality loss to Jacksonville and beat tournament bound and previously unbeaten Dayton.

Which is why almost everybody had them in with a win when they kicked off on Saturday night. Idiot.

Of course UND would want another shot at NDSU. Would UND win...not any more likely than USD beating them. UND and NDSU are both different teams than they were in September. No Wentz and leaning on their ground game more for NDSU is something that would play into UND's strength. In September, NDSU beat us through the air as other than 1 35 yard Frazier run UND held NDSU to under 2 yards a carry on the ground and that was with a UND offense that put our defense on the field every 4 plays. I still think our offense would struggle against the Bison defense but not to the point of absolute incompetence like in September. I would see it as a 24-13 game that NDSU never feels like they are in danger of losing but at the same time are unable to put UND away

I continue to be vehemently opposed to the pussification of America.

Better be at least warm. I said it before, don't care what the media and coaches pick us. If we aren't in top 4 regular season and/or semi-finals of conference tournament it is time to make a move. it is part of the job of running a program to coordinate your recruiting so you aren't in panic mode every 2-3 years.

Too much focus on WIU here. UND SHSU WIU NAU UNH E. Illinois UND should have been safely in the field.

Well sweeps almost never happen either way in St. Cloud but we were a hell of a lot closer to getting swept than we were to getting a sweep. We were pretty fortunate on Friday night as St. Cloud carried the play other than when the CBS line was on the ice.

I remember in the 90's they were considering changing out the turf in the Fargo Big Building and replacing it with paper.

Looks like the Big Sky needs a stronger advocate in the room.

Steve probably was.

Maybe the Big Sky needs a stronger rep on the committee.....because if this is the "new" criteria the Big Sky would have had 8 teams under consideration and only got 3 of them in while the MVFC went 5 for 5 and the CAA went 4 for 6.

Alledgedly the bids are not opened until he field is set.

I actually have a bigger problem with UNH and E. Illinois......although UND should have been in instead of all 3.

I have only heard this cheer at the Ralph. As far as I remember the SCSU cheer team has never been at the Ralph. I believe it has been directed at their team but that is just my opinion.

Not to mention on the road win for UND vs. WIU winning at home

This was nothing more, nothing less than the NCAA deciding to f^ck with UND one more time.....hopefully this is the last time.

It looks like scoring near the rim will continue to be a problem for us this season. Teams will guard us outside in again(like NDSU did last year). They will guard our guys downlow 1 on 1 and not double them so they are going to need to score through contact.

Could what be? They announced early this week that it was on.

Yes. There were a couple seasons where their squad was outstanding and then a couple seasons where it was like WTF happened? Look pretty solid now though.

Decent win. Rebounded better, still sloppy with the ball and had too many senseless turnovers and fouls while possessing the ball. Should be interesting game tomorrow against FGCU....my brother is down there for a wedding today and is going to the game tomorrow. FGCU is kind of his adopted school as he had season tickets when he lived down there and our company still does some work for the FGCU athletic department.

Not too many Husky Women in this group......although it might be fairly obvious which girl's dad bought the uniforms.

You saw it wrong

Tackle football games wearing several layers of clothing on the Capitol Lawn in Bismarck brings back great memories!
