No kidding. And the fact is they had their green road jerseys that just say "North Dakota" since the beginning of the season!! Not sure why they couldn't take a picture before practice one day to get that in the program. First NCAA playoff game for our womens team and they were not even in the program. Unfortunate to say the least.

Why is it that about 5 minutes after they announced the Fargodome was getting new turf, there was a press conference with a picture showing what it would look like. Its been months since they announced the Alerus was getting new turf and we haven't seen any pictures. What gives? Must be locked up in the same safe that the playoff hockey jerseys are in!!

Yeah.....probably not worth it!!

The NCAA said Florida State had to get the Seminole tribe in Florida to approve the name. They did. So the NCAA approves it. The NCAA said that UND had to get both Sioux tribes in North Dakota to approve the name. They both did not. So the NCAA doesn't approve. What ;s not to get? I am ot trying to defend the NCAA on this, but the facts are the facts. Had we gotten approval from both tribes, the team would be wearing their Sioux jerseys this weekend with the name and logo on it. If anyone brings that sign, they will look pretty dumb, in my opinion. UND had their window of opportunity, but they didn't succeed. I get it. Most other logical people do to.

You listed 4 chain restaurants as better buyers than JL Beers!! That's just crazy! JL wipes the floor with any of those places any day!!

Did they get a new banner for "NCAA tournament wins" this year to tour last years accomplishment to go next to their "Tournament appearences banner?!!

Bow up a picture of google maps giving directions from Mariucci to the Xcel. and have something like "Directtions" or "in case you forgot the way" on it!

Typically the only mid major schools that get invited to the NIT are those that done their conference regular season championship, but did not win their conference tournament championship. (Oral Roberts for example).

any update on the score?

What about the green ones? Still want to see those at home and have the black be alternate. Maybe use them for big games like game a ginast Montana and (we can all hope) NDSU!

If Montana wins tonight, we will have beaten 2 NCAA Tournament teams this year. Pretty sure that has never happened!! Not a bad feather to add to our cap for this season!!

Its all about the Benjamins at the Final 5. that is why there is the "Minnesota rule" They get the night games because they want miximum attendance. I think that there is an unoffical "North Dakota rule" where the WCHA would want to maximize attendance an viwership for UND since they have the second biggest following at the Final 5 behind Minnesota (when they are there). So I guess I would assume that they would move the UND game to the night game, but who knows.

These Democratic leaders visiting the Alerus are jinxing our team!! They are bad luck!! The 4 years prior to Obama and Hillary visiting the Alerus, our football team was 42-10. Since they were there, our football team is 23-20. This is no coincidence. Who knows what kind of damage having Slick Willy in the Alerus will do to our team!!

Nothing else is necessary, but the NCAA requires that we have a new nickname. I am sure the NCAA feels that if we do not select a new nickname, than we will still be unofficially the "Fighting Sioux" and they don't want that. A new name will come eventually. Hopefully we can select an appropriate one.

I like!! I agree with your statment about the helmets. Needs to match the jerseys. Going with black helmets with a jersy that looks similar to what you have come up with would be sharp. New conference, new field, new beginnings for UND football. Starting off with a new look would add to the buzz that is already happening for next season!!

Agreed. We have used black in our jerseys for years. It is one of our colors. Other teams have used black as the primary color for their 3rd jersey for years. Time for the football team to try it out. The idea of a black out is a great idea!!!

Potential Regional Championship game in St Paul with Duluth playing Minnesota. That could be a good one!!!

Black jerseys?

The fact that this argument deals with two different sports and different levels makes in undebatable. Can we just end the "biggest sporting even in North Dakota" debate?! Seriously, getting lame. Thanks

When did this turn into a Wold Junior discussion? Can't we all just agree that the World Juniors in 2005 was a big event in North Dakota, and that Sioux Bison football games are also big events in ND. Why compare the two to see which was bigger?? No one is ever going to win. You are comparing two sports played at different levels. This is so stupid!!!!!

Only thing that would make the UND/DU game on NBC Sports in HD better would be if Doc Emrick was calling the game!!! I don't think he is, but that would be awesome!!

I think we got it figured out. You want to talk to Faison or should I?!!

Everyother year, early in the season before conference play starts. Get these games scheduled already!!! Here, let me help: Saturday September 13th 2014, Fargodome. Saturday September 10th, 2016, Alerus Center. Saturday September 8th, 2018 , Fargodome. Saturday Sebtember 12th, 2020, Alerus Center.....and then do that every other year till the cows come home!!!

My guess is NDSU will have to bite the bullet and go on the road to play an FCS team. I don't see them bringing in a D2 or NAIA team and only have 10 FCS games. Hopefully this will be a eye opener for the schedule makers at NDSU. There is an OAC FCS team 70 miles away that is willing to come to your place. Only thing they ask in return is that you play at their place!!

But how many of them already have 5 road games and are most likely not looking to schedule a 6th toad game?
