For fun, lets plug in the mratings for the UNC and FA game. Florida Atlantic will be favored by about 16(homefield to UNC, is homecoming a legit factor?). I see it about 33-17.

Yes. And I actually overlooked another team who is ranked #5 in the country. based upon mratings GVSU #1 in country, #3 in region UND #3 in country, #2 in region Northwood #2, #1 SCSU #7, #4 Mich. Tech #8, #5 Saginaw #5, #6 Ferris #12, #9 Winona #23, #7 W. Washington #26, #8 Only 6 of these teams will make the playoffs and then they will have to beat each other up while the other regions top team will have a relativley easy trip to the semi's. The southwest region is kind of tough as well with 5 teams ranked in the top 19 in the country. The highest ranked team in the Souteast is #9 and in the northeast #11. Does anyone know which regions play each other this year in the semi's?

Great, So the #1,2,3,7, and 8 teams in the country are all in the same region. Hey I have an idea why don't we have them play each other in the playoffs so that whoever comes out of this region will win their semi-final and then championship game by about 20 points....makes sense to me. What? Oh you mean that the NCAA D2 already does that? Never mind then.

There is also the rule diferences, field differences, and number of players.

Those calls, the inadvertant whistle and the no-call in the endzone make a 27-0 game 13-7.

Go back to the first year intro, of the Sioux capping off their 7 national titles, splice in some big hits. You could see that as the year went on, some teams would try not to look up at the board(probably told by their coaches not too....other coaches probably told them about it after there teams were in awe of it.) The intro they used that year is better than anything they have used since.

I can't believe the selfishness on this board? Sure the grinders are great, the cheese tostada's are fantastic....but everyone seems to be holding back the "best" secret of the Red Pepper......."The Garbage Plate"(subject to availability of course)

Believe me, we would be more concerned with gvsu than ndsu even if ndsu was still in d2.

For the record. UND and NDSU played 110 times. NDSU managed to win 41% of these games.

Any thoughts about what US born players will be representing the USA in the 2006 Olympics? It does not seem like there are alot of no doubt future stars in the pipeline right now? I went to the US/Finland game the other night and afterwards we were talking about who the US has up and coming to take the place of some of the older players on the team. We had a hard time coming up with quality players in the NHL from the US. Chelios was our best defenseman on the ice and he is 42. Leetch looked horrible. Miller and Martin looked OK(although a bit shaky at times). Anyone want to speculate on what the US team might look like in a couple years.

They really hate the fact that if Mesa and Valpo locked up on a neutral filed, Mesa would be a 16 or 17 point favorite.

As Rocky Hager once told me on the radion "You don't undrstand Bison pride". I never laughed so hard.

Wow, no more Hallstrom. What more could he do? He bought knee pads, he kissed major a$$, he sucked #@$%. Did he use his teeth?

Yeah Ballard and Blake are pretty similar in the behind the play agitate kind of stuff. I did not see all the gophs games this year, so I don't know if Taylor can fight or not, but with the crap he pulls, he will have to. I think he obviously has the size and potential to be a rugged nhl blueliner.

I hope Taylor can fight? Cuz he's gonna have too if he plays the same style of hockey in the pros that he did in college.

Dave St. Peter went to UND, not so sure he played baseball there?

I too missed the date, but I was checking periodically throughout the day while at work and nothing was posted, then the pairings came up. Since nothing was there earlier, just assumed(I know better) that the NCAA would put up the correct pairings. Oh well, lets go Sioux

3 of them were not even ranked in the regional poll

You gotta be joking

6-4 Sioux in the second game!!!

I don't know why I am drawn to respond to the IDIOT(bisonfan1234), but I am. yeah the NDSU/SDSU "rivalry" will be "huge". Much bigger than UND/Gopher, UND/Wisconsin, UND/BC, UND/UMD in hockey. UND/GVSU in football. puhhhhllleeeaase. If it makes you feel better about the foolish decisions that have been made at North Dakot Ag College, run with it.. But we here are bored with you, so go back and preach to the choir at Bisonville.

Quick? What is Marquette's new name? I couldn't tell you, to me the first thing that pops into my head is Warriors....always will. UND will always be The Fighting Sioux. I have to think really hard to remeber what Grand Forks Centrals current name is. First thing that comes to mind is Redskins. How many years ago di they change the name?

Elvis's "less talking and a lot more action"...when the officials are conferring too long.

Blue Key is allowed to present the trophy to the winner every year. Whne the UND blue key folded, this right(honor) was bestowed upon the UND student senate. The nickel trophy was the idea of UND alum Richard Kunkel. I know you(bisonfan 1234) are pretty dense, but this has got to make sense to you sooner or later?

The UND student senate also has ownership rights as they assumed them when the UND blue key organization was dissolved. Also, the Nickel was created by a UND Grad, so get overyourself. If it makes you feel better, maybe we can give you a replica so you won't feel like a total LOSER.
