I had surgery this week. I can't put any weight on my leg right now. I am going to be staring at computers/TV's for the next couple weeks. Btw, I saw plenty of wrongs that I didn't need to right considering the crowd I'm dealing with

I have never heard anyone suggest thebigund is DaveK. thebigund has some form of sense of humor and has learned to adapt. thebigund has even made me chuckle from time to time and uses purple font reasonably well. These are things DaveK is unable to do. Plus, thebigund's name is a complete giveaway it is not DaveK. DaveK doesn't care about UND if you recall, just honoring and bringing glory to the Fighting Sioux. DaveK, judging by his facebook, is stuck in the 80's. Which is fine by me because he is stuck in a decade of Bison football domination. Judging by thebigund's knowledge of UND football, and has a similar opinion regarding hockey(fans) at UND, one would assume it is geaux_sioux. I think you would see more trolling if UND was better than NDSU at football.

I don't know if he is the type of kid I want in Fargo. Hopefully if he comes to Fargo it is as a walk-on. I'd give the edge to UND, better opportunity to guarantee playing time and more schollies available.

While it is certainly possible, the QB can't throw the ball from his back.

that our friend thebigund(geaux_sioux) has a very optimistic view on the UND football team when it comes to personel getting PT/being better than their North Dakota State counterparts. Probably not. Seeing the box scores of UND games this fall would indicate that none of their linebackers belong in division 1 football much less in front of Mr. Thorton.

I didn't say "its just the softball team so it doesn't matter." I said, It is the softball team, I do not care about them. Two different things. I have never been to an NDSU softball game. I have no interest in going to an NDSU softball game. I never plan on going to an NDSU softball game. They are about as relevant to me as the NDSU Chess Club(if we have one).

This. Both fanbases tend to get high and mighty as far as this sort of thing goes. Not that I think it really matters, this is the softball team. Not the football team, not one of the basketball teams, heck, not even the volleyball team. desperate times, desperate measures. #Devil'sAdvocate

I believe he means directly from FCS to BCS. The only one I can think of is Jim Tressel. And not to be ticky tacky, but Kelly never coached in the FCS. Grand Valley(D-II), Central Michigan(FBS) If Wisconsin wants him, go for it. Just makes the NDSU job all the more desirable. That said, I'd prefer if he'd stay.

Because UND is a school that allows hockey players to return to the lineup when it is clear that they need them for the late season push. (Frattin yeah?)

I don't see BCS schools offering him.

Promised 'radio silence' until December 17 but congrats to UND ladies ball players on their first W. Both of these teams suck but someone had to win and UND stepped up. Enjoy the 1st W in the series since both are D-I.

Notre Dame earned a split and beat 'SC in football. I will not be posting until December 17th. Enjoy!

Ok. That is one way of thinking of it. Who is more talented? The team with 3 great players(all going late in the draft) or the team with no one getting drafted but is good across the board? Elon has probably the best player in the FCS. They aren't a more talented team than NDSU. Who will probably not have anyone drafted this season. The "bizon" have good talent across the board. Montana State has good talent across the board. Not getting many(any) on a All-Conference team doesn't mean there is no talent. What it means is that there are 2 or 3 better players at that position elsewhere in the conference. If UND has...for example the 4th best player at every position, are they less talented than...say...Idaho State who, in this example, has three second teamers, and a bunch of guys that are 5-15th best at their particular positions. I'd say no.

Theoretically, Team A could have literally....3 or 4 really great players, and the rest of the team could be complete garbage. Those 3 or 4 players make the All-Conference team. Team finishes 3-8. Team B has 1 really great player, and is consistently pretty good throughout the rest of the lineup. Team finishes 8-3. Which team is more talented?

The same Oregon that got shut down by Stanford? That same Stanford that lost to Notre Dame? Notre Dame offense beginning to maybe get some confidence. Doesn't hurt that Oregon's D is not any good.

This isn't intended to be rude or anything but shouldn't it instead be a shame that the players decided not to tackle? I understand coaches have to work on it but tackling is pretty instinctive...

I understand you are being sarcastic, but if you want to get technical, a couple of the trophies the irish football team plays for were made in Ireland and they have played multiple football games in Ireland. Doesn't hurt that they are the most high-profile college athletics program in the country and get to live by their own rules. Also doesn't hurt that they chose a white group of people to name themselves after. The BCS polls aren't flawed this season. Notre Dame, as has been stated, has several big wins and is undefeated. No one else can say that. Notre Dame has given up 10 points per game. I don't think anyone in the country would score 42 points on them.

also, Irish isn't a race. As Marshall says on How I Met Your Mother, "Lawyered."

The nickname may have been given to them by Northwestern fans chanting "Kill the Fighting Irish." Another story is that several of the players had Irish last names were yelled at by a teammate who said, "What is the matter with you guys? You are all Irish and not fighting worth a lick." In United States' history, the Fighting Irish is the nickname of an Irish immigrant brigade in the Civil War. Who are all dead. And can't be offended

I enjoy cheering against UND a lot. Plus I enjoy message boards. I should probably get an appointment with a therapist for Monday just in case. Yes. Please don't cheer for the Trojans. I make you folks a deal. If the Irish win the football game, and one of the hockey games, I will not post until my surgery December 17. So UND is currently struggling defensively? Is this due to goaltending or the skaters not doing their job?

As a big Notre Dame fan, I may take the time to plug in to this game. As much as I love ragging on you people, hockey can be fun to watch from time to time. Go Irish. The real ND! Watching the Irish beat NoDak and 'SC the same weekend....oh so much potential happiness!

That'd be pretty anti-climactic, our guys don't play in the first round.

Coming into this year UNI deserved to be ranked. Montana too IMO. I totally didn't see these two trainwreck seasons coming. It was kinda fun to scoreboard watch though and see them both losing games left and right.
