UNDColorado

Only at the FBS level are plays replayed...that needs to change!

It's pretty simple to hook up a HDMI cable from a laptop to a flat screen. I for one love the internet viewing option.

I think 3-4 or 4-3 is a fair assessment, but then again this is a tough comparison and purely speculation. However, I do know that 7-0 would never happen, not with our defense!

5 There has been intention on their part but no follow-thru in that they are always gone at half. Geau Sioux has mentioned this but allow students to leave at half time...then allow them back in. Not a tough concept but the alerus can't seem to figure that out.

These polls are very interesting because I have to wonder if these voters watched any of the games, or just simply looked at final score. First of all Poly: There is no way Lehigh should be ranked ahead of them with their JV level schedule. Poly should be top 10 for sure, with NAU right behind them. This east coast bias is really starting to take over. Also, this really doesn't matter because in no way are we a top 25 team, but how does Montana get more votes than us? Something just doesn't make sense here, rant over.

I was at that game...I was frustrated with the turnout to say the least...

Matt - It would be very interesting to see the UND offense square off against the NDSU defense in a controlled scrimmage. I also think that if it were a full game you guys would win handily because NDSU is a far better team all around. Even though we don't play in the same conference wouldn't it be pretty cool to have the annual spring game be against NDSU?

I never once said that we should be playing teams like Michigan and Notre Dame...you assumed that is what I meant. Actually, we belong with teams like NDSU (they are way better than us right now for the record) Montana, and even up to the lower level FBS teams like Colorado State, Colorado, Wyoming, etc. We can compete with teams like that but once the athletic budget goes past 50 M we have a whole new class. Long story short there is a big difference between a D1 FCS conference such as the Big Sky or MVFC versus a D2 conference such as the Northern Sun. You are completely delusional if you think there is only a small difference. However, the lower half of FCS is another conversation. I believe it will work itself out in the next 5 - 10 years because the big boys of FBS are rapidly pulling away from the small guys of FBS; meanwhile the top half of FCS is proving that they are very competitive with the smaller FBS budgets.

That would be awesome but I suspect that they feel Root would be competition to their wanna-be sports network...

Dave k is 100% WRONG! UND and the other Dakota schools for that matter belong in Division 1. I will not support the flagship university playing teams like St. Clown and Bismarck. We are better than that!

Dish Network as well, but you need to be in the Rocky Mountain or Pacific Northwest for Dish. So for you guys up north Directv is the best option because they will also have the game on the Audience network nationwide (channel 239).

Well genius, the guy mentioned is a true freshman...point is you have never seen him play; I was not referring to our current defense which is bad. Once again you are talking out of your arse. Now run along and go get a life.

Yeah because you are such an expert on a guy that you have never seen...

Yes! Only one run is open...so get maybe 3 runs in before the line is a mile long and then go do some Colorado style tailgating!

Or just go to the darn game!

For you guys up North who are out of the traditional Root footprint you can see the game on DirecTV channel 239 (Audience network). If you dont access, go to a bar that has DirecTV.

DVR is set for me too. Our first ski area opened up yesterday for the season so I have to get some turns in first!

Athletic budgets would also be taken into account. Teams like Idaho, who has a similar budget to UND, cannot compete with teams who have 50 million plus budgets. I think Texas is pushing the 100 M mark!

Seriously? UND does not belong in a conference with Minot and Bismarck any more than ndsu does. Nice try.

NAU and Poly are getting hosed!

I believe only one FCS win per year counts toward bowl eligibility...could be wrong though.

Thanks and the card stunt looked awesome!

Thinking about it...not a terrible drive from Denver. Do you guys sell out every game or could I bank on buying a ticket at the door?

100% agree!

Anyone notice EJ Welch out there? I saw him in there a few times and I feel like he was actually getting a push and causing some disruption. We haven't seen much of that lately so i'm hoping he sees some more playing time. But yeah overall our defense is terrible. What the heck happened?
