If I am not mistaken, Midco cannot carry a game CBSSN is doing...

Last week I picked Wyoming by 17 and look at how well things turned out. Drake 30, UND 13

Run a couple of pass plays to Santiago out of the RB position. Have him split out a couple plays at the WR position. Sit him midway through the 3rd qtr to avoid injury and see what the other RBs can do...

Would be good to build enough of a lead up to allow for Bartles and other second line players to get some playing time...

I'd be interested to know if they tone things down as they need to do. Good luck to the Cowboys the rest of the way.

Was at the game. First let me say that all the Wyoming people I interacted with, which were several, were cordial and hospitable, even while their team was being taken to the woodshed. I have to say the game day experience of being at the "War" was lacking to say the least. Through most of the game rap/hip-hop noise was blasted intermittently at ear splitting pitch. All the Wyoming people I was around thought it was just as obnoxious as I did, but as a UND fan I was doubly exacerbated by the fact that they blasted this crap while UND was in its offensive huddles, but not when Wyoming was in theirs. Heading back to Cheyenne for the night I listened to the post game show from Laramie on the radio. About 40 per cent of the calls were Wyoming fans complaining about the "music" ruining their game day experience just as much as losing to a "mediocre"FCS team ruined it.

100 bux is too steep for me so I may stick with creme soda in the north lots.

As of this morning there are still good seats to be had. Mine is on the 40 yard line 30 rows up. Probably be sitting among Cowboy fans but that's OK, I don't think they bite.

Purchased my tickets this morning for this game. If you see a blue pt cruiser with South Dakota plates before the game and I am there tailgating stop by and say hello... Tom

My estimate is that she is unaware of the so called goon letter. By all that is good and merciful just get this thing over with.

Why do we care what they think?

No Hawks please, too much of a cliché.

I have also suggested Nodaks for essentially the same reasons stated above. If the UI Illini can handle the phonetic reference and OU is the Sooners, then UND stakeholders could eventually identify with Nodaks.

Anyone know whether the Montana game, which is carried by Root, will be webcast by BigSky TV?

4th from the left kneeling looks like Larry Fine.

Meh...so I watch on TV and don't spend money in St. Cloud on gas. lodging, and meals.

These were good for a chuckle. Thanks!

One way to interpret this discrepancy is that the committee members have more information at their disposal than do the students, have spent more time digesting that information, and have more insight to the ramifications of various options. Not saying that that is necessarily the case, but I don't think we are necessarily seeing some sort of oligarchy either.

This game will be the only WYO game not televised by Root or ESPN indicating that most people in the Laramie area consider it the equivalent of an exhibition game, at least from a fan interest perspective. Unfortunately, Bohl will not be one of those people. I liked the idea suggested above about bringing the team to the Rockies several days early on to acclimate the flatlanders to the high elevation, but even were that to be done you would have to make a mediocre FBS team with a substantial home field advantge over a mediocre FCS team a 17 point favorite. WYO 30, UND 13

Still seems to me "Nodaks" would be a good compromise choice. The UI Illini name has the obvious phonetic reference to the state it represents and the U Sooners recognize the residents of Oklahoma. Somehow people in Illinois and Oklahoma have long since grown to identify with these names, and the use of Nodaks circumvents the assuming of a new identity. Make the name official to placate the NCAA and then simply ignore it if need be in deference to those that don't want to be anything other than the FS.

"As the Council on Foreign Relations' Micah Zenko points out, the Bush administration offered to negotiate directly with Iran over its nuclear program in 2006 — the first such American offer in about 25 years. That doesn't mean Bush would have necessarily taken the exact same deal as Obama, but it's a reminder that some of the political rhetoric around the deal is exactly that — political. Bush's strategy, according to his national security adviser Stephen Hadley, was to offer "the relaxation of existing economic sanctions and active international support for a truly peaceful civilian nuclear program" in exchange for clear limits on Iran's ability to push toward a bomb. Bush's ideal end state, in other words, looked a lot like what this deal accomplishes." http://www.vox.com/2015/7/14/8958245/iran-nuclear-deal-bush

This^. It was GW Bush that got the ball rolling on negotiating with Iran. And why not, he is the one that empowered Iran in the region in the first place. A great deal of the opposition we see in Congress to the current deal is political posturing.

In light of the ongoing discussions and the "Goon letter", I am removing myself from the no-name camp. In terms of a simple risk assessment, UND has far more to lose than it has to gain from going nameless. It may not happen in the first two games, but I would not be the least bit surprised to find rival fans making trouble, and lots of it, perhaps including yellow or maroon clad fans chanting lets go Sioux so they can shortly thereafter complain about it. "Nodaks" is the best middle ground solution.

OK. The difference between alumnus and alumni was a fantasy football team. Thanks for the clarification. Is the difference still a football team, or have things changed?

Maybe he was just expressing contempt for Cosmo Kramer and his legion of fans.
