I didn't say that son.

You realize we are playing everyone? Including players that won't be in the lineup much once the games actually count?

A team we beat the crap out of last year at home. This crapping the bed on the road is getting really old.

It's the weekend.

This is why the latest contract extension was such a head scratcher. Yes, the facilities are getting better, but will that alone change this putrid road performance we have seen over and over?

So is our season over now? Or can we bounce back from this? We have the other two Dakota schools at home, so I think we can still be a playoff team.

You can't spell "sucks" without SU!

I am still pi$$ed off about that game.

The Power 4 already gets a lion's share of revenues. At some point, greed will destroy the very things that made the revenues possible in the first place.

What are they going to do about it?

If the Dakotas and Montanas want to move up, they'll have to do it together. Geography dictates this. This would give the Mon-Dak 6 some bargaining power. They could either form their own conference or secure a home in an existing conference looking to expand. This is the only way FBS will happen for the Mon-Dak 6.

Even if you can afford to move up and become a lower-level FBS program, the best you can hope for is a 7-4 record and a crappy Bowl game in mid-December on a weeknight with the stands half-full if you are lucky. The CFP is a long-shot. And even if you somehow qualified for that, you would run into upper-level FBS teams with way more depth and athleticism. It's fool's gold.

Until UND proves it can play well on the road, I wouldn't be shocked if they lost by two touchdowns.

Considering we won #8 without a "home" regional, I don't think flying somewhere is necessarily a huge disadvantage.

It would be awesome to have the Frozen Four in Madison Square Garden in New York.

This ought to help our coaches recruit quality student-athletes who get it done in the classroom and on the field/court/ice.

Last year's Manitoba team was the worst I have ever watched. They usually are much better than that.

We are playing "Toba" in early January, but I do agree with you. It will be exciting to see what Augustana has been able to put together.

Yes. As they should.

But I thought Fargo was "The Center of the Known Universe"? Isn't that what KVLY and WDAY want us to believe?

Talk about apathetic ownernship! The opposite of meddling ownership. Both extremes are bad.

I hear you. I'm still trying to get the bitter aftertaste of March out of my mouth.

Well, here we go again! Another season is upon us. Looking forward to seeing the incoming freshmen. The Drive for 9 begins again.

How much of NDSU's defensive improvement was a result of the quality of opponent? I guess we'll find out next Saturday.

Too much bickering amongst ourselves after a big home win. This team remains a work in progress, but I am pleasantly surprised with the 4-1 start. Now the meat of the schedule begins.
