UND1983

ORU left the Summit League for the Southland Conference, which is the 29th ranked RPI Conf. in Mens Basketball. They wanted out BAD.

I have said it many times - Use a song that everybody knows for the intro song when they come running out. Nobody wants to hear some compiltation of guitars and loud noises. Don't try and be creative - do what works like: Va Tech - Enter Sandman Iowa - Back in Black

I was in the same boat. We did not even consider coming up for this game. However, we will be at Poly and USD for sure. Probably not Sioux Falls.

I have said the same thing for the past 10 years when we play BC. Why are they always so much faster than UND? It wasn't by a huge amount on Saturday but on that flurry of goals their guys were spinning our guys in the ground with moves, etc. Pretty much every time they play UND they win with speed.

And you are delusional to think Bohl isnt using it with Joe Mollberg during and after his failed recruitment effort.

Southland? I think you mean the CAA.

Ones that already told him 3 days earlier that they are out and he is committing to UND? Seems like he wants him pretty bad.

Good stuff!

Let's remember, it was a soft commitment for all 3 schools who were recruiting him, not just UND. NDSU and their fans would have been ecstatic to get his "soft commitment".

No. I was replying that UND is still in the poll at #24 contrary to what Dan said about them dropping out. Also, that Bohl seems to be pretty interested in the polls since he took time out of his press conference to vent out about them while Kolpack was nodding his head approvingly. Why was Bohl so worked up this week about the poll - they moved up to #6? Is he more worked up about them dropping to #12 or UND being in the poll? Seems if he was mad about dropping to #12 he would have vented last week when Jeff asked him.

They are #24. And your coach seems to be pretty worried so they must matter.

How old were those two when the game was played?

So after four years of D1 transition we are right back in our rightful spot as the largest university in the state. That didn't take long.

Now he added a full article in the Forum to his investigation: http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/334516/group/Sports/

Did "Pom Poms Kolpack" really go on the radio now to discuss this? What is his endgame in all of this - why is a Bison sports writer so worked up about this to the point where he is writing blog articles, tweets, and talking on the radio about it?

You missed this one right after that: "@FGOSPORTSWRITER my theory as the "San Diego State" beat writer: some voted for North Dakota thinking it was North Dakota State."

Why didn't they mix them up in the first three weeks? Or last year?

A joke? Its the coaches poll Darrell, the people who know it best.

Jim, Can you please stop all this NDSU talk in threads where it shouldn't be. It is ruining multiple threads and could easily be kept to one thread.

What will be interesting to see is if a certain councilman benefits from this move by taking over the liquor sales at the Alerus Center. They are going to have to hire a local bar or liquor store to supply the beer/alcohol and also run the operation. The Bismarck Civic Center does that to get around the law. They have Captain Jacks supply it and then get 55% of the take.

TT was 9-4 and won the Alamo Bowl. Please dont compare any FBS team NDSU has played to them.

Post of the Day!

If the entire student section and the entire band is a small minority then yes, you are correct. Those two groups can be pretty loud during a basketball game.

Also, a couple years ago both the NDSU student section and the Band both broke out in separate "Sioux Suck" chants during a basketball game. They were playing Oakland.

So now Bison fans are telling everyone it was the Semi-Finals?
