Losing this means we likely need to win against either MT or Cal Poly and Def need to beat MT St.

All the yelling about the refs is humorous. The refs didn't blow the lead. The refs blew a call. UND may have killed playoff chances with that. They now need to win some games they could have otherwise lost. Horrible step back for this program, after a nice job to start the season. Really poor to lose a game like this, against this opponent, at home, on homecoming. All the pieces were in place (including a lead) for UND to win this. Ask the Bison, ask E Washington, ask Montana .... good teams just don't lose like this. We still have a ways to go, to win the games we SHOULD win. Also fire eversports. That webcast performance was disappointing.

Pretty awesome to keep passing, thats worked out pretty well for us so far.

probably the latter. My stream is pretty good.

Worst run d in the conference, and we pass. And there is another turnover

Agreed, I don't think our offense is bad. I do think it is still somewhat unproven. We know what they are capable of, but whether or not they can utilize that capability on a consistent basis is what I want to see them prove. In some ways, this makes them their own worst enemy. If they utilize their talent, they win, if they don't, they struggle. They should win this, and they should score more than 24. Hopefully they play the kind of ball that they have been recently.

Love that show, I bet he would do it! Maybe with a Gibbs head slap.

No I caught it, I was just emphasizing the point. I'm sure I wouldn't mind some evening games, I'm just a creature of habit, and have gotten very used to the 1pm games. Even watching the Vikes, I always like the noon games the best.

Lets get someone to hack into the ballot website and just add North Dakota to the options. Sounds like a winning idea to me

I actually do like the 1:00 games. As much as I love football, hockey is my number one. So I don't have to try to manage UND football around UND hockey or Wild games. Plus 1:00 is when I put kids down to nap; perfect football watching time for me. The only downside is it does chew up afternoon where I would prefer to be outside in the fall. Especially with a lot of yard and housework to do. Even going back to my college day. Party till 3 or 4am, get up saturday morning and get to the Alerus (I was there early to play in the band). Head back home to catch a quick nap, then start drinking and head to the hockey game before another night of partying. Good lord, how did I make it through school alive and graduate....

Its not really being obtuse. The truth is that regardless of what name is chosen, there will be a group of fans that will always refer to them as the Fighting Sioux and sport Fighting Sioux apparel anyway. So that argument really doesn't carry much weight. Fan Perspective 1: We're North Dakota, so I can still yell Go Sioux! Fan Perspective 2: Well UND adopted the name Sundogs, now I can't yell Go Sioux. The logic just isn't there ... people don't think like that.

When is the last time UND had 3 picks in a game? I just want to see us get a nice lead early.

34-20 UND

Boesser commited to UND before the draft. The only think I can think is that Fabbro wants to keep his options open. As we saw with JT Miller, once your are drafted, you often to what that organization wants. I'm sure based on him staying in penticton this year, he would prefer NCAA, but doesn't want to commit to a school just to back out of it after the draft. At least that is what I am getting from this.

Agreed, not too impressed by Kramer. Kind of a, "Yeah, they play well, but they aren't dominant, their not special" kind of mentality. Reminds me of the Wyoming defender that was asked about Santiago running all over them who said, yeah he didn't do anything special. Not saying we're a great great team yet, we still have a long ways to go, but I think at 4-1 we have done a pretty good job so far. That being said, our D needs to step up big time this weekend, and our O needs to finish their drives. I could see this game being closer than it should, but hopefully the guys take the momentum of last week, and coming home and put up some big points early.

No, he said he we didn't care that we won by such a small margin. Which pretty much everyone actually did.

Is that for real? Guy wrestled a bear? AND you could get a 6 cylinder Oldsmobile for $3 grand?

Maybe instead of throwing baseballs at a dunk tank, we could just throw baseballs at them? Thoughts?

No doubt, webcast should be a requirement to host, at the very least. Even beyond that, there is not reason the tourney organizers can't work out a weekend deal with CBS Sports, NBC Sports, or Fox College Sports to air the Icebreaker Tourney annually.

Maybe I'm completely making this up, but I though I read somewhere that he was down to Denver and one of the Boston's. I could be WAY off, but I hope he ends up here.

I though Fabbro already said UND was out and it wasn't for him. Am I completely making that up, or did I miss something?

sportsbet.com has UND as 10.5 point favorites. Would really like to see our offense finish some of the drive they left on the field last week, and make the win convincing.

We need to keep doing what we are doing, and we may start winning some of those recruiting battles. Not all of them; I still think NDSU's ridiculous run of success will speak volumes to kids, but there will also be high end talent that want to play right away. A winning program, and a good coaching staff makes a big difference. Facilities helps too.

General question: Has anyone received their email about the vote? I updated my information on the website, like they advertised, but I haven't heard anything about logging in to vote or anything.

Loving some of the recruits this staff is getting. Toivenen sounds like a stud, and Cloyd looks like a BIG receiver. Hope are QB keep progressing to throw to some of these guys.
