UNDvince97-01

I watched the game on DataFlix yesterday also. It was a little blurry and not a very quality picture. But it was worth it, I got to see and follow along somewhat. Good sweep for the Sioux. I hope there are enough senior leaders to guard against a letdown this weekend. Another thing, we still have to go to ndsu for a doubleheader, and i gotta believe they arent happy. So this thing is far from over. Im pumped that i get to watch the games in person this weekend against SDSU. Anybody else gonna be there this weekend? What are the forecasts looking like?

You have to be kidding me, that is awful. I hope that is not the case. I feel so bad for a kid that had so much potential only to see his career ended with an injury in his senior year of high school. I really do hope that it isnt career ending.

In my opinion, all Grand Forks sioux fans should wish Grant nothing but the best in the future. Yes, he played for the Gophers, so what. He's a GF kid at heart. It's not his fault that UND didn't recruit him, and sioux fans should not hold that against him. He actually was at a UND football game this fall cheering for the sioux (he probably wouldnt admit it publicly). I've known Grant since we were teenagers. He is a quality person and a class act, as is his brother, Ryan. I dont know if many people know this, but their father, Jay, was also a multi-sport athlete at UND. Grant will be remembered in U of M hockey lore as the first non-Minnesotan in a long time who led and captained his team to 2 national titles and brought them back to national prominence that hadn't been seen in a long time there. I believe that he brought the leadership that maybe was needed and was lacking before. I just think we should wish all GF kids the best, no matter what school they attend. That's just how I feel and is my opinion.

Delroy Ten Thumbs? Hmmmmmmmmmm.....................I wonder if this is someone I know......

looks like the games for this weekend got moved up to today and tomorrow because of weather. i may have to make it out for the games tomorrow in st. cloud. doubleheaders are today and tomorrow at 1 and 3 pm. anyone gonna go watch them?

i think sioux'01 knows all about that.

watch it, sioux'01........or next time, it's your other achilles.

yeah, you are right, those weights are a little ridiculous.

How big do you really want your linebackers? Digger is only about 6-0 to 6-1, so i think that 235 is definitely a good playing weight for him. I don't think those weights are that far off. He puts on any more weight, and he's sacrificing the lateral movement that makes him so effective. I know Travis O'Neel played at 6-1 and between 235 and 240 lbs. and he was very effective at that weight, and still very fast too. I actually think it can be a psychological advantage when other teams look at the roster and think that they are playing someone physically inferior. Only then to have some UND player bring his lunchpail and hardhat to the game, and hand the opposing player their lunch on gamedays. I just think sometimes people take too much stock in that stuff sometimes. (roster numbers) just my opinion, however.

YEAH!!!! you tell 'em Gary!!!!

so tony, were you interested in Ferris State when you scheduled them for a non-conference game a few years back when you were just a lowly D2 team? I bet you were. Or how about Delta State when they sent you home in the semi-finals in 2000 in the kitty litter? any interest in that game? gotta love bison spin.

just curious. if ndsu wanted to schedule a NAIA team, then why wouldnt they look a little closer geographically with a team that would at least be in the top 25, and would probably have a bigger draw beacuse of fan interest? i think we all know the reasons why they wouldnt. you be the judge. i just think its humorous that they still try justify it when we give them crap about scheduling an NAIA team, even though they have ALWAYS been on us about our schedule. Final Rank Team Final 2003 Record 3 Sioux Falls (S.D.) 12-1 5 Dickinson State (N.D.) 11-1 6 Mary (N.D.) 10-2 18 Minot State (N.D.) 7-3

you are absolutely correct teamsioux, Ralph Engelstad, Roger Thomas and the UND hockey program will all be brought up in that topic by JBB at some time. but then after half a bottle of jim beam, his other personality will step in and say "who is UND, and why would i care about a lower-division school?" he is absolutely ridiculous. i wonder how many medications he is on.

well, no need in un-banning JBB for this thread(not that i really wanted you to anyways, or that you really would have). i took the liberty of going to bisonville to comment on it, and who was the first person to reply to me? JBB. i love it, its humorous. feel free to check it out and add your thoughts if you like. its under the football topic, "2004 Schedule". if nothing else, its a good laugh to brighten your day.

admin, thanks for showing some leniency on the matter. could i ever ask you for one more favor? will you please un-ban the infamous "JBB" and let him come back for just one more thread? i would just love to hear what he has to say in regards to the topic.

yes, AZSIOUX is right, RT O'Sullivans is the place to go. i was in AZ this past week, and my friends and i went there to watch the Final 5 championship game. it was a great time with a pro-sioux crowd there. im guessing there were about 100 sioux fans to about 5 obnoxious gopher fans that were cheering very loud and proud, but it was all in good fun for a little jabbing back and forth. definitely go there.

ok, so please tell me its not true that ndsu has scheduled Montana Tech for football. I realize that we are supposed to be hush-hush about ndsu, and stop being in childish arguments that can go on forever. but with all due respect to the admins on this board, this can not go without some ribbing. look how long ndsu fans have been trashing our schedule for football, and how they have been saying they dont want to be associated with the "crookston's" of d2 football. then they go and schedule an NAIA team? i am at a loss for words, and am really laughing hard inside if this is the case. if it isnt true, then i apologize for even posting on it. NAIA?? lmao!!

who's brielmaier?

umm legend, i believe they were a 17 seed.

Jackguy, I had the same thing happen to me by some lady in the CSP section for the UND-ndsu game. We started to sit, and then she said they were saved, I also said there are no reserved seats, then she said all the sections are labeled by teams, and that i should go sit in the crowded UND side. CSP wasnt even playing yet, and she was reserving seats. needless to say, my friends and i tried to handle it as nicely as we could and just sat down there, while she stared and glared in anger. i thought she was gonna go off the proverbial "deep end". unbelievable. sounds like the people at CSP have a bit of a chip on their shoulders for some reason or another.

Can any sdsu fans please explain what happened with your men's team against Metro State? If my eyes werent deceiving me, 109-69 was the final, and that shocks me. the sdsu men are and always have been a very tough squad. i can't believe they got blown out by 40 in a regional. would any sdsu fans that were there please explain what happened in that game.

It was a great game last night, fitting for an end to a rivalry. UND played very well in the first half, then struggled badly in the second half. ndsu showed alot of heart in the second during their comeback, and almost pulled it off. I can't tell you how frustrating it is for me to watch UND's best player, Marisa Leighton, constantly pick up dumb, frustration fouls, after missing a basket down low. It always gets her into foul trouble. I also think Gene put her in too early when she had 4 fouls with 7:52 left in the game. I would have waited until at the earliest, the five minute mark. You need to have her for crunch time down the stretch. And speaking of crunch time, how about Marry Perrizo's left-handed runner across the lane with a couple people in her face? Don't know if that's a shot I could have made. She really showed her senior leadership last night, and played an excellent game. I hope there is no letdown on Monday. Cant make that game, so for the people that will be there, cheer for me too. I must also say that it feels good to win the last FB, Men's BB, and Women's BB games to end the UND-ndsu rivalry. Good luck to the women on Monday!! GO SIOUX!!!!

where do i start? went to the game, and i must say that is the worst D2 facility i have seen. i cannot believe they allowed them to host a regional. it was the atmosphere of a jv girls HS game. about the game itself, UND played flat the whole game with little to no intensity. no rebounding on offense or defense, and too many missed "gimme's" down low. played pretty well defensively otherwise, and forced quite a few turnovers. UND was up by 7 with 1:43 left and they were shooting a 1 and 1. all that being said, i believe they were 0-3 at the line after that, and CSP had a VERY good look for a game-winning 3 at the buzzer. UND is very lucky. very poor game management by the players at the end of the game. they had better use this game as a wakeup call for themselves, because if they play like that tomorrow, ndsu will steamroll them. another thing, officiating was terrible for both teams. lookin forward to the game tomorrow. GO SIOUX!!!!

Toby Bailey Clone? So they recruited someone who isnt going to amount to squat, huh? That's unfortunate.

LOL.......are you surprised Legend? UCLA just showed their true colors last night, thats all. They havent been any good since the O'Bannon brothers, Tyus Edney, and George Zidek left. Notice I didnt include T.B. Nice team, Corella.
