UNDvince97-01

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.

PCM, I realize that his column on Jimmy wasn't anti-UND on the surface. But for him to say that Jim is overrated in his pass-catching abilities, makes me think that there is an underlying, subtle bias against him because he is from UND. Either that, or he just didn't do his homework. All that aside, McFeely is and has been anti-UND in every possible aspect that he can. I don't think anyone can refute that. I was merely trying to correlate that with his recent column in regards to Jimmy.

Dear Mike McFeely, After reading your editorial in regards to Jim Kleinsasser and his free-agent status, I find myself in a current state of bewilderment and pondering. How the hell did you get your job? Who hired you and what were their motives for hiring you? Were you and Steve Hallstrom separated at birth? You both seem to share the same brain of inactivity. You are the most negative, superficial, ignorant columnist of sensationalism that I have ever seen. Your meager attempt at "big city" journalism is displaying just how pathetic you are. Hello Michael, you live in Fargo, ND. We all see right through you on this one. You have to include substance and credibility in your columns, Mikey. I haven't seen any of that out of you for quite some time now. So now it's time to take down all your Jim Rome posters off your walls, and stop sending fanatical mail to him on a weekly basis. Come back to reality and start writing columns like you used to - with knowledgable tact and without a biased hatred of UND. It is really sad to see that your deep hatred (and jealousy) of UND has filtered down into your no-talent, uninformed opinion regarding NFL football also. Oh by the way Michael, ndsu ended the rivalry by leaving Division II football, NOT UND.

now this guy knows his sioux football. an excellent post for a first-timer. welcome aboard. note that i am not saying that other people that have posted on this thread dont know what they are talking about. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. except for Sioux01.

In my opinion, Kuper is a "pure" guard. He has very good feet for an o-lineman. Has anyone ever just taken time to watch him pull? He absolutely destroys people. Usually after the thuderous "crack" of initial contact, there are always some sort of helmet accessorie flying, whether its his or his opponents. He is always re-strapping his chin straps, or the other guys is picking up his ear pads and his "chiclets" off the ground. It's actually pretty funny watching him pull.

how insightful of you bison1234........thanks for the "education". that never crossed my mind.

Bison Fans? Looks to me like a Bison player this time. I'd venture to guess that "SU WR #1 AB" is Allen Burrell.

thanks admin, i do realize in the off-season that there isnt much football to be talked about, and sometimes hockey will be brought up in many rebuttals. just so you know, i wasnt questioning your admin responsibilities and duties, in fact i wasnt even referring to you, not that I think you thought that. i think you do a great job regulating this site. i appreciate the response. thanks.

Now I know that there are a lot of UND hockey fans on here, and thats fine and dandy. Im not angry, rather just asking nicely if eveyone could reserve their hockey comments for the Hockey Forum. I sometimes get tired of hockey always being brought up in football threads. Yes, I know sometimes UND fans are just defending against bison stupidity at times, but there is a separate hockey forum to discuss those issues. I ask that people dont get upset about this. Prefer to talk football instead.
