Odd allegiances happen. I have worked at USD for 15 years but still UND fan in all sports.

Anyone know whether the games vs MTU will be picked up by Midco?

If you end up in Vermillion check out the National Music Museum

I have been stuck in Vermillion for 15 years now

I have been to Nottingham Stadium. If its still nat grass as it was when I was there in "98 then there are some parallels to be drawn with the conditions UND face a coupkle weeks ago in Bozeman. I'm not sure that UND should even be considwered the favorite in this one

The offense should be able to bye time for the defense...

With the team we have the passing game needed to be clicking on all cylinders yesterday for us to win. That did not happen. Too many errant throws, and too many passes either dropped or, in some cases, too little effort to make the catch...

"Roughnecks" could grow on me.......

No Village People look alikes. We don't want the opposition cracking gay jokes and drawing the attention of the NCAA......

We should be the "replacements" in recognition of the NFL replacement refs. Our mascot will be a uniformed referee walking around with a white cane as the blind use wearing a pair of shades.......

I think the fans would go ape over that Sasquatch name

Key to the game will be push on the line of scrimmage. UND must improve in this area both on offense and defense to stay in the game.

I am also coming up for the MT game from outside of ND. Are there vendors at the tailgating locations, or should I figure on bringing my own food and grill?

I could foresee alot of people having touble stopping that guy...

Once UM imposed its will against USD with its power ground running game in the 3rd qtr, the end result was never in doubt. I agree that the score made the game look closer than it was....

An FYI for anyone else in SD, SW MN, or NW Iowa....Montana vs USD televised today in the Sioux Falls area. An emerging UND rival vs a traditional one. 2:30 PM on one of the Sx Falls channels (KDLT I think).... I don't care for either one of them but I will have to watch, hold my nose, and root for UM and the Big Sky Conference.....

I favor a rotating name. For example when we play USD we are the Coyotes. Against Montana we are the Griz. Should keep the ones at those instutions who were indignant over our name happy.

As I recall Utah State lost their bowl game last year. I went to grad school at USU...they usually stunk when I was there.

I did not see Southern Utah getting handled by Utah State to the extent they were. Utah State is a low end FBS team.

On a related topic, we all know what the viewing optins or likely viewing options for all of the football games except San Diego State, of which there don't seemto be any. Would anyone care to speculate or better yet have any knowledge of options that might become available as the date of this game draws closer? ESPN3 maybe?

Personally, I like fans of other teams logging in, for the most part. There have been some noteable exceptions. I suppose there are as many reasons for Bison fans logging in as Bison fans that log in. Those reasons range from wanting a stimulating discussion to having no life.

Huh?

A team from Cedar City, Utah is actually our biggest rival at this point in time. buy/sell

Well that is relevant news. Does that involve registering at each university's website, or do you suppose the UND road game feeds would be picked up by UND Insider?

Its a bit of a quandry, seems you need to have both Midco and Directv (or dishnetwork) to get all the available broadcasts, or just hope that at the last minute there will be some notice that a game you would not otherwise get will be webcast. I get Midco here in southeast SD so I get the hockey games and most of the football, but I would also like to get Root. Since UND is in the Big Sky all the games are of interest, even the ones UND is not playing in. Very hard to plan for receiving webcasts since they typically are not announced until just a few days before a game.
