I guess we can take these stats with a grain of salt given the competition that JMU plays against, but still impressive none the less: QB Schor - 2648 yards, 24 TD's RB Abdullah - 1577 yards, 20 TD's JMU is averaging over 49 points per game and allowing 22. The last three games they have outscored their opponents 183-43. (Which includes a buttkicking 65-7 or Sam Houston last Saturday).

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/4177874-university-minnesota-rb-and-fargo-native-transferring-und-football-team Can't believe no one has posted this yet!! This is a huge pickup!! Johannesson is a stud. Kleiman wanted him bad. Definitely nice to see UND get some of these guys over NDSU. Will be interesting to see if and where they will use him next year. Backing up Norberg would be the best bet. Like the article says, UND will have a crowded backfield. But if there is a good place to have depth, the RB/FB position is one of them.

Oh you mean those people who have high level Champions Club contributions, season tickets to every UND season for the past 15 years, spend hundreds at the Sioux shop while at home games, and fly to Tampa and NYC for games? Those fans?!!

The difference with the St Paul regionals from the past and one that would be played in Sioux Falls is we weren't the host in those regionals. So we didn't know that UND would be playing their until a couple days before. If we are the host school at Sioux Falls, we are guaranteed to play there if we make the tournament. That is a huge difference. Planning months in advance would definitely get more people there than planning to go days in advance.

5000 mostly UND fans compared to 10000 mostly UND fans. How is a bigger crowd less of a home ice advantage?

Not sure why UND doesn't bid to host at the Sanford Center in Sioux Falls. Would be a lot easier for others to get tickets since it holds double what Scheels Arena holds. Sure its further away, But I don't think they would have any trouble filling it.

Side note, What did everyone think of the jerseys? I thought the dark charcoal grey look was pretty sharp. I definitely like them better than the black ones.

with a catch........ "If the host team shows its video, the visiting team will also be provided the opportunity to show its standard video"

So what conference is UND going to be invited to? Because without a conference invite, we end up living in FBS independent purgatory! How'd that work out for Idaho?!!

Tank top weather

The weather in Cannon Ball not looking too good right now! Any protester that stays is really taking a risk with heir life.

If anyone can give me a good reason why it's a good idea to have part of your fanbase cheer for one name and the other part cheer for the other, I'd like to hear it.

Attendance issues are not unique to just UND. Everywhere outside of the state of North Dakota and Cheney Washington struggled to fill even half their stadium!! UND fans should be proud of the support that the team recieved this year in regards to people attending games. Especially considering where it was just a few years ago. I anticipate attendance increasing even more next year.

Yes. that is what I am saying. Those people are preventing the University from moving on from the nickname. Why it is just the hockey only fans, hockey coaches, former hockey players, etc that are the ones that continue to do this. I never said that I expected everyone to be in love with it. So you think its a terrible name and logo. That's fine. You don't have to be head over heels i love with it. But don't revert back to a name that has been retired. If you don't want to embrace the new name and logo, than cheer for "North Dakota". The support for the new name and logo is very low ONLY by the hockey only fans. Everyone else is getting on board.

Not only is the "Sioux Forever" chant embarrassing, the people that do it are pathetic. Sorry for harsh words, but seriously you are. You are the sole reason that our fan base is divided. There are plenty of fans that are embracing the new name and logo, and you are preventing everyone from moving on. You are like the 3 year old in Target that is kicking and screaming with mom dragging you out of the store because you want a toy but can't have it. I am not saying that you "Sioux Forever" fans have to go out and stock up on Fighting Hawks gear. You also don't have to go home and burn your Sioux gear. Just saying that chanting "let's Go Sioux" and "Sioux Forever" is not helping the University, its student athletes, and its fans move forward. It is holding them back. Seriously. Grow up, be an adult, and quit being a bunch of sore losers now that the Sioux name is gone. If you are offended by my post, then you are the ones that I am talking about.

Maybe this is all just a ploy to get the protesters to go home. Let things cool off a bit and by the time it is challenged in court, overturned, and the construction begins again, it will be late January, 2 feet of snow on the ground, and -20 degree wind chill. There will be very few protesters and the construction will go on as planned. Oh, and Obumer will be out of office in late January as well. So an executive order is definitely a possibility.

Absolutely can't stand the "Sioux Forever" chant. It's embarrassing.

Blame the blocked punt, the running into the kicker, the play calling. What really killed us was the play of our secondary and giving up big playes. From the long TD pass in the first half to the late bomb in the 4th that set up the game winning FG. You can't give up those type of plays in the playoffs. Where was our secondary today? You can blame the lack luster offense in the second half for the loss. But plenty of blame rests on the shoulders of our secondary.

Haven't seen that combo yet. I think that would look sharp.

Not really that far fetched that they give the #1 seed firs shot at start time and then give consideration to the rest based on ranking. As the #7, I am sure we didn't have much choice. I doubt that Faison submitted a 5pm start time knowing it would conflict with the hockey game.

Point being, shouldn't be a problem getting tickets there. That's ok. Not a problem getting tickets for games at the Alerus as well.

SDSU built a a C & E Stadium. Meaning its only really full on Christmas and Easter. Christmas being NDSU and Easter being USD. Even then, they still didn't even sell out the USD game. Getting tickets at either of the South Dakota schools should never be a problem. UNO may be more difficult, but they have a big stadium as well.

I remember in the D2 days, there was a stipulation that you could only dress a limited number of guys for playoff games. This resulted in all the redshirts sitting in the first couple rows of the students section. I remember them being there before the doors opened and wow were they loud and rowdy!! ondering if that is the case in FCS as well?
