You must be talking about Lakes Bison, right?

Maintaining success is harder than obtaining it, you are correct on that point, so we'll have to watch SDSU to see if they can keep it going. But they have the facilities and a growing national reputation for winning. The thing to watch is if their new head coach can keep the train on the tracks and build on what was given to him.

That's what people used to think about Miami (the one in Florida) when they were winning almost every game for a decade. And Colorado was garbage for decades after being good before Coach Prime came along to give them some hope. Nothing is "too big to fail". NDSU isn't exactly collapsing, but they have clearly been surpassed by SDSU (and even lost a player to them). And other programs are always working overtime to get better. The wheel never stops turning. Even Rome eventually fell.

And all that money has done what for the mighty powerhouse that is ULM football? Stop making excuses for the FB program...Francis.

And what does that have to do with this topic? ULM is garbage. What's next, losing recruits to Prairie View A&M?

Louisiana-Monroe is a crap-hole program. I hope they enjoy losing because they are going to be doing a lot of it.

A rare moment of sanity on this issue.

It certainly was that way on the sitcom "Coach".

Then the Twins shouldn't be surprised when people lose interest in them. All I think about in the summer is when Vikings training camp starts.

The Twins lobbied hard for public money to build Target Field, telling us they could financially compete with a new stadium. What happened to that?

But they are no longer the team to beat in FCS. South Dakota State is. And that drives their fans crazy. And that never ceases to amuse me. There is a reason Entz is moving to Southern California and it isn't just because of the weather and a big fat raise.

FB losing to Sioux Falls is way worse than this.

November 25, 1997 The Old Hyslop Sports Center UND Women's Basketball Team 131, Mayville State 41 A 90 point win by the greatest team in program history. Tonight, 26 years later, UND loses to Mayville State in the BESC. And the Old Hyslop is being demolished in summer 2024. Just like the Womens basketball program. Almost perfect symmetry, don't you think? But I suppose it's okay because they are student-athletes learning "life lessons". Whatever makes it easier to sleep at night, I guess.

Except we've already done it before.

I really hope he doesn't choose to go to that cesspool program.

Whatever we do, please start putting shots on net! I lost count of how many shots were wide or over the net last weekend.

Agreed. It's time to move on from the "extra covid year" bottleneck.

That explains the lack of energy. Get them healthy and healed up and they will get back to winning.

Maybe if the product on the ice was better, people wouldn't care as much. The honeymoon for the New Winnipeg Jets ended a long time ago. People want to watch a winner.

If we aren't going to buy out Bubba, at the very least..... No more freaking extensions. Bubba hasn't earned an extension.

Colorado College is not the train wreck they were a couple of years ago. They definitely are going to make some noise in the NCHC the next couple of years. That said, we have to win conference home games because we are not going to sweep too many road weekends in this league. But if they are fighting illness and/or injuries, that would explain what happened. I think they come back after the holiday break strong.

I suspected this as well. The fact they looked sluggish and slow suggests the gas tank was not even close to full this weekend. Give them a few weeks of family time and rest and I think they'll be back to their old selves again.

I agree with you. The offense figures to only get better. The problem with this team is the defense, which I never thought would happen with our program.

Because it's all about keeping more of the gate.

This guy needs an attitude adjustment if he wants to grow as a player and a person.
