UNDvince97-01

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.

There never seems to be any discussion in regards to the UND baseball team, so I figured i'd start something on it because I love the game of baseball so much, and i really enjoyed attending the UND games in the spring when i was in school. The team is currently 3-5 heading into their annual road-trip to Florida for their 9 game swing. After they return, they begin their NCC season against Augustana in a 4 game series at Sioux Falls. Offensively, they are led by soph. 3B Troy Wasilowski, who is hitting .429 with 3 homeruns. Senior SS Mark Olson is batting .406, with Jason Fairchild and Ross Olson hitting at a .375 clip. It seems to me that the pitching staff will have to improve a lot for the rest of the season. I don't think they can count on scoring 10-11 runs a game for the rest of the season. Although JJ Scheving is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.69! Other than him, the pitching is mediocre at this point. I know it is still early, and improvement can and will be made throughout the season, but there has to be at least 2 other pitchers that step up and assert themselves as solid 2 and 3 starters in the rotation. Also, i think OF Brad Jaeger has to step it up for the rest of the season and provide more offense. Hopefully he can repeat last year's Florida trip where he went off on the pitching down there. But this year he has avoid going into a slump like he did last year after the Florida trip. Here is the link to the team stats http://fightingsioux.com/sports/baseball/d...asp?PAGE_ID=104. Anyone who has any idea of who is favored in the NCC this year, or your take on the team, please feel free to share. Good luck to the team as they head to Florida. GO SIOUX!!!

You're probably right on that, but he would at the least be considered for the job. Probably a finalist. Of course, this is all pure speculation.

im not saying that McDermott is going to be the guy to force out Alford. I have just heard that if he doesnt get results there soon, he may be on the hot seat. I was just mentioning that because of the fact that Mcdermott coaches in Iowa. I agree in that I dont see Alford being forced out for Mcdermott. Just some food for thought, that's all.

Congrats to Coach McDermott on winning to conference tourney and getting an automatic bid. It's good to see that the former sioux assistant is enjoying success at the D1 level. How much longer before the bigger schools start to take notice of him? I have to think Iowa and Iowa State know about him, especially after UNI beat Iowa and lost to Iowa State by 3 this year. Iowa does have Alford, but they have been marginally successful the past few years. And Iowa State's replacement for Larry Eustachy is Wayne Morgan, and I'm not sure how long he is signed for. As far as other schools taking notice, I'm not really sure. I'll give it less than two years before McDermott is at a major D1 basketball school. What does everyone else think? I know one thing, I'll be cheering for UNI come tourney time.

ouch!!!

Legend, what did you post that got you banned on bisonville? i am curious, as i'm sure everyone else on here is. just curious

UND 92,96, Barreiro, or "The Common Man"?

PCM, While I respect your opinion also, please include my whole post if you are going to quote me on something. The rest of my post that you quoted stated that I was relating his anti-UND bias to his column on Jimmy. You failed to include that in your quote of my post. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but that was my reasoning.
