It takes time. Winning a few games won't turn attendance around overnight. Disappointing, Yes ... but that's what happens when you have years of crap football.

well they wont consider it a negative. At the same time, it's not the boost that a kand as state or Iowa state would provide.

i think it is generally considered a positive thing. Though I'm assuming the teams played are in that conversation. So a win against ndsu would have looked more impressive than a win against Wyoming. In our case we have an FBS win while some of the other bubble teams have a D2 win. In that scenario we should get the edge. At this point we just need to beat Cal poly, and wait.

Finally! Nice run for smith! Good to see

Studrud looking really good today

Well that sucks, tough for brady

That kid is ridiculous!

completely agree!

maybe I'll see if I can watch the feed at a more delayed pace after the period. I've had great feed all season until tonight

yeah, feed is definitely seeming slower tonight. I'm not even getting HD right now.

good to know. Thanks for the follow up!

I'll just throw this out there as a suggestion, for anyone who may be listening. Regardless of what happens with the name of the site, it would be cool to have the top of the website have all of the UND logos, from anything relating to flickertails, to the ND, to the Sioux logos, to Hawk/Roughriders. Just a though.

Yeah, but I have typed siouxsports.com into my web browser so many time, that their is no changing my muscle memory. I'm just not sure I could overcome the change.

Sounds like it was for infraction of team rules. Also sounds like they will both be in Madison for Tuesday's game.

This.

Not sure how much to read into this. I'm also listening on the radio and not watching. I'm not a great basketball mind, but I love to follow UND.I assume MN-Morris isn't even great within their own divisionI know we're young, but I suppose Tuesday will be a little better measuring stick, as to how we match up against solid competition.

Really? I just blame the NC$$ for sucking at life.

Voted Nodaks twice, and moved to Roughriders. I hope they get a logo done fairly quickly. Nothing will replace my Fighting Sioux hockey jersey, but I could be persuaded into buying a hat or something.

I think it would be easy to say the key for UND is going to be good secondary play. Though given that our team has fumbled more times than I ever though possible, I'm going to say the real key to winning this game for UND is ball security. Hold onto the ball, and we shouldn't have too many issues.

Hey it would be "UNIQUE", of course we all know how UND really feels about being "UNIQUE"

Agreed, I did think of the injury aspect, but I was really thinking more of a pond hockey, no contact, type of event. I think that is the only way you would get away with doing something like that.

Wow, do I remember that game. Not because it was a great game (I don't remember), or because we won (which I know we did), but because of that weekend in general. Not only did we play UMD in football, but we also played them in hockey. So my room mates and I have the brilliant idea, late on a Thursday night, to skip Friday classes and head to Duluth for the game. Being a poor college kid, I wake up early, bike over to Plasma, and donate for some weekend cash (proud moment to be the first one in the door so I can get some weekend money for a quick road trip ) The catch to this entire trip being, I need to be back to Grand Forks, and at the Alerus Center by 7:30 on Saturday morning, as I was in the band and there was playoff football. So we drive to DuluthWe eat Dinner and drinkWe drink and go to the hockey gameWe drink more and go to sleep (for about an hour or so)We wake up at about 3:30 and hit the road.We pull into Grand Forks, after being gone for a grand total of about 21 hours.I show up to the Alerus Center a little late, for what may very well have been the longest football game of my life!UND Football Win, and a UND Hockey Sweep ... Suck it Duluth

Yes, lets finally put a team away early and keep it that way. I'd really like to see one game that isn't really close. Win and building some momentum into next weekend. Just like our hockey team has done so many times, this is the time of the year to really gel and get hot .... (Hopefully) going into the playoffs. Remember how well our team gelled the last two games of last season. Now the realistic side of me is going to say, "Let's just win this weekend". Clearly that is all that matters right now. Though, the side of me that is so incredibly bored of having to wait for Saturday's kickoff is going to look way ahead (Don't get crazy on me, its just for fun speculation). Let say we win out, lets say we make the playoffs. Izzo has us playing UNI, which could be fun. They would be a solid team, but when the playoffs start, it is a 1 week season for everyone. Anyone remember the last time we played UNI? If I remember right, it was 2006 when we were a D2 school and came out of Cedar Falls with the W. When UND is playing solid D, and is healthy, I think we can compete with most. Now for the fun part, in the projected playoff bracket from 11/8, the winner of the UND/UNI game would move on to the Fargo Dome. How fun would that be! A playoff game against the in state rival, with an opportunity for revenge. Now I would never be so ignorant to say we win that, but I guarantee we play a more competitive game that the first time around. We actually run the ball. We actually past the ball. This is a complete pipe dream, and a lot of things would have to work out perfectly for this to ever happen, BUT I would love to be tailgating in Fargo for such a game in December (and hey, this is a fan forum, we can talk about crazy stuff here). Now, lets just win Saturday!

UND should totally do a exhibition game, between the Club Team, and the School team at the very beginning of the season. Just something casual and laid back, like the Green and White scrimmage for football. More of a pep rally to kick off the year than anything else, but it would be fun and it would really promote the club team. Might be hard to get started, but if you do it for a few years it could be kind of fun.
