Har, har, har, that is pretty good!!! Good to see the team break out of that slump. Time to go grab a road sweep!

And it is important to point out that the Slummit is NOT a "bus league", despite what some people will try to tell you. The distances are shorter than the Big Sky, but there still is significant travel involved outside of the Dakota schools. The days of a true "bus league" ended when the NCC did.

I am in Brainerd visiting my girlfriend and the roads are not good here. Talked to someone in town for youth hockey tomorrow and the roads are really bad from the Cities to Brainerd. Thankfully, I don't have to go anywhere until Sunday.

I think we would get the Big Sky auto-bid. Beyond that, I am not sure.

Go back to Bisonville and AGS. We don't care what you think.

Let us hope we get into the Top 8 and we won't have to worry about it.

Is Montana a playoff team this year? They are not as dominant as they usually are this season.

Your insecurity is showing my friend.

I have said this before and I will say it again: If we can't afford to do what it takes to run this athletic department as a Division I athletic department (and making sure we host a playoff game as the #9 seed is one example), then we should have stayed in Division II. We have to make a statement that we are serious about being a national player in FCS football. Also, these kids deserve a home playoff game with what they have done this season. We need to give them every edge we can. Here is Faison's e-mail address. Please let him know how important this is for the FB program and the entire campus, BRIAN.FAISON@und.edu

Shhhhh, be careful or you'll be accused of being "unrealistic"!

As the coaches add depth to the team and our young guys mature and become more consistent, that is very possible.

No, that was the 2001 NCAA Division II First Round game vs. Pittsburg State (38-0 win).

2004 NCAA Division II Quarterfinal (GVSU @ UND)

What a great bunch of guys those were. I imagine that team didn't win too many games. A team of individuals thinking only of themselves usually under-achieves and under-performs. Would serve them right.

You started it, we are finishing it. If you want to be butt-kissed, go back to Bisonville.

I meant if they are in field goal range and it's 4th down and they have to go for it because they don't have a kicker because they didn't have a replacement lined up. But I think we are on the same page on this. I imagine they have someone they want and haven't announced it yet.

Unless they want to go for two after every TD and go for it on every 4th down, they better have a replacement ready.

Filling the Alerus Center for important games is a good goal to shoot for right now.

MVFC = SEC BSC = WAC At least if you believe in NDSU logic (what an oxymoron THAT is).

That is because the Goofs choked away 3rd period leads. If we can get some pucks into the net and then not blow the leads, we will do fine.

We need at least 3 points this coming weekend. Getting swept is unacceptable!* *Copyright Goon 2016. ALL Rights Reserved.

So based on these responses, we should just lock the attendance thread and not talk about it anymore, because the die is cast? I respectfully disagree. There are people who can't afford hockey, but could afford football and these are the people we need to get and in many cases are not getting.

This was the same song and dance I heard when REA was being built. We will never, EVER fill a 12,000 seat arena. E-V-E-R. Well, how did that work out? We need to stop thinking small and start thinking big. There are several Slummit League schools in large metro areas that are virtually invisible in their own communities; metro area size is not the end all and be all of attendance. Think small and that is what you will be. Think big and you will meet and even exceed your goals. We need a second revenue-generating sport on campus and FB has the most potential upside of all the non-hockey programs.

Then why the obsession with us from their fans, to their media and so on? They shouldn't care what we are doing, but they obviously do.
