The worst part was the idiot running the cameras spent more time showing the crowd and kids dancing than the game....when they did show the game it was very choppy.

Good for Marcus...blood is thicker than water...or school affilitation. I remember Steve Feeney, former UND DB cheering on his little brother at QB for the Bison against UND.

Lines up on Betus.com Wofford -8 1/2 over UNH Central Arkansas +8 1/2 vs. Georgia Southern Old Dominion -13 1/2 over Coastal Carolina Illinois St. +3 1/2 vs. Appalaichan St......Illinois State wins outright Cal Poly +12 vs. Sam Houston State SDSU +8 1/2 vs. NDSU Eastern Washington -21 over Wagner Montana State -11 over Stonybrook

Have stayed there almost every year for the Final 5 and also the Frozen 4. The hotel offers a shuttle to and from the arena as does Alarys Bar which is about a block away. If it is nice out, it is definitely walkable as well.

i would check again. your post just reminded me I hadn't booked a room yet. Just booked a corner suite for Thursday through Saturday night!

It is the Embassy Suites....free breakfast in the morning as well! Block and a half from Alarys...jump the shuttle to the arena and you are all set.

well that would be 6 or 7 years down the road assuming that Jeff moves into a head coaching job in the next 2 years and then has 3 or 4 years of success(20 win seasons, national tourney appearances at d2 level)....his older brother and UND alum Mike might be on a quicker track. Currently head coach at Bemidji State in his first year their taking over for a 22 win tournament team from last season.

Well, not that it is a great excuse but we had our kicking team on the field when they called a timeout and when we came back out with our offense after the timeout it likely led to some quick player changes.

I'll take a crack at the first couple rounds. SDSU 31 E. Illinois 27 Villanova 34 Stony Brook 21 Bethune Cookman 23 Coastal Carolina 20 Wagner 30 Colgate 24 NDSU 27 SDSU 21 Montana State 45 Villanova 28 Old Dominion 52 Bethune Cookman 21 Eastern Washington 54 Wagner 17 New Hampshire 33 Wofford 24 Sam Houston State 38 Cal Poly 30 Georgia Southern 24 Central Arkansas 20 Appalachan State 28 Illinois State 17

NDSU's first game will likely be their toughest game until the Title game.

I agree. obviously the autobids are not considered as to who gets in when. Coastal Carolina, Colgate, Wagner, and Bethune Cookman are all teams that would not be in this field if not for the autobids so technically SDSU got in after them.

Looking at the playoff bracket is all the more reason that their needs to be a sense of urgency for our football program. There are 4 teams in the field that I would lay 10-14 points on UND and 2-3 others that would be a pick-em. It doesn't take much to be a top 15 team in the FCS....we need to get their quckly and then worry about getting to the top 8-10 level which is another big jump.

NDSU did get the easiest potential quarterfinal game as they should as the #1 seed. But the play-in games and where they are in the bracket is a joke. You have SDSU and E. Illinois playing each other and Villanova and Stony Brook playing each other with NDSU and Montana State getting the winners meanwhile you have Coastal Carolina playing Bethune Cookman and Colgate playing Wagner to get to Old Dominion and Eastern Washington. Those 4 teams(C. Carolina, Bethune Cookman, Wagner, and Colgate) are teams UND should schedule to get easy D1 wins and get your 2nd and 3rd string reps....so not only does NDSU potentially get the best of those 8 teams to play they also get a conference foe as well....meanwhile the CAA is protected in that none of their teams would have to meet until the semi-finals while the MVC has a potential 2nd round matchup and Cal Poly if they get by SHSU would have Montana St. in the quarters. So if you realisticly look at the 8 teams playing the playin games you have #1 playing #4 and #2 playing #3 while the bottome 4 teams play each other.(3 were autobids that if they weren't would not be in and somehow Coastal Carolina got a bid over probably 8 or 9 teams that would boatrace them.

FYP

With just over 50 seconds left and a 3rd and less than a yard. You get a first down which stops the clock. You have enough time to run a few more plays and pick up another first down or even 2 and kick a chipshot field goal to win it......it ain't rocket science.

You take that shot 100% of the time with 10 minutes left.

The last time I saw game management that poor, Coach Nickerson wouldn't let Stefan Djordjevic on the team bus.

How the fu%& do u not use your 6-6 qb to sneak it on 3rd let alone 4th.....unreal

It was before that. So it would have been when Blais was coach. It was probably around 98-2000. Seem to recall it was probably a period of time from early in 1 season until late in the next. I am pretty sure hennessey has brought it up before.

It wasn't an official suspension as obviously the league isn't going to annnounce that for public consumption, but there was a period of about 1 1/2-2 years(maybe longer) where Adam was not "allowed"...err scheduled to ref games involving UND....I want to say it was toward the end of the Blais tenure maybe leading into the start of Hakstol taking over.

A few years ago he was "suspended" from working UND games after he was $h!tfaced in Sugars Lounge and was babbling to everyone that he hated the Sioux and had no problem screwing them over....not sure why that "suspension" would ever be lifted?

Couldn't remember exactly when we scored the "goal". There was a whistle for icing 5 or 10 seconds into the game and the next whistle came at 9:18 left in the period. Not sure how it works with penalties but I believe if they had decided to count the "goal" the game gets reset to that point in the game. I think it was the Vermont/Air Force game a couple years ago in the NCAA tourney where Vermont had scored and the puck went through the net and then the teams played for about 10 minutes before the next whistle. The announcers knew that once play was stopped by a whistle that the game was going to be over and since the game was in overtime they were talking about how crazy it would have been if Air Force scored and had the celebration that would follow and then find out they lost...pretty sure they hit 2 pipes during that time as well. My curiosity was peaked so I had to do a little research..Thanks USCHO. It was actually in the 2nd overtime with a Frozen Four bid on the line. It was just under 6 minutes later for the whistle.

True. Plus they would have replayed 7 or 8 minutes as well.

20 years....it reminds me of a secretary my dad had who had been with the company for 30 years and some people said it must be great to have somone with 30 years of experience and he said well that is one way to look at it, but we look at it as she has 1 year of experience 30 times.
