  1. It's tough to get a feel for the amount of bs from the coach. There's no doubt some of what he says is bs but at the same time if you look at the match ups on paper there is legit reason for concern with size difference for instance.

    he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't present his opponent at a strong challenge, which hopefully it will be.

  2. Thats sort of the point. Seven wins would be easier if we scheduled Drake and not Mines. All UND would have to do is win at home. And the toughest team would be Montana and that aint saying much.

    montana is looking pretty tough and I would call them the favorite at the alerus, but on the plus side, MSU has looked pretty pedestrian. I'd say the next effect on UND's playoffs odds is around zero.

  3. I didn't include those schools because they were either not in the same conference as UND, or they haven't played at UND or they are below UND in the rankings. What I was trying to highlite was the number of highly rated schools that are rivals and have played games at UND. Maybe I should have listed schools that are in the top 200 instead of the top 170. Then I could have included Montana and Montana State.

    cool story

    I was comparing UND to it's regional peers.

  4. If you love NDSU and hate UND so much why don't you just transfer there? You could wear your Craig Bohl pajamas all over Fargo and no one would say a word to you. Flipping burgers and delivering pizzas for the rest of your life would be a small price to pay for the man-love you'd get to exhibit for anyone associated with NDSU football.

    you seem insecure

  5. Look at NDSUs record against FBS teams and reread what you posted. They were lousy not long ago and just crushed an FBS team. They win not because theyre better buy because they believe they should. It's a mentality nothing more nothing less.

    No, they are in fact actually pretty damn good for a 63 scholarship team. And yes, they are substantially better than CSU. Swagger only matters at the margins.
  6. Sorry to disappoint you, but the Canadian traffic is only one part of the economic activity in the area. The economic upswing isn't "largely" based on that one segment. It is based on ag, technology, UND, bleed-over from the oil boom and some other minor factors besides the Canadian traffic.

    agreed, but i would say that Canadians are the largest contributor.

  7. I wonder if all the ND universities calculate those percentages the same way. If so, :cool:

    late comment, but a guy on bisonville showed that remedial rates for both schools are higher than reported, and roughly equivalent. NDSU has on average higher entrance scores by a trivial amount.

    Good luck recruiting grad students in science and engineering without tuition wavers. :silly: This new chairman guy comes across as a moron.

  8. I agree with you, but according to the "experts" at the ND State Data Center at NDSU in Fargo (big surprise there, right?) keep insisting that Grand Forks is losing population. But with all the houses and apartment buildings being built on the south end year after year, the brisk commercial activity and increasing enrollment at UND, it's hard to believe that. No one is going to sink millions into an apartment building if there isn't a demand for housing, which there is.

    Their data was also showing that fargo was stagnant, so you can put your conspiracy theory down. Grand fork's growth over the last 8 years or so is pretty impressive if you had never been anywhere that was actually growing at a decent clip.

  9. shouldn't be surprised to see fewer student tickets, most student-level jobs require weekend work. Looks like there with still be more than 1500 student tickets 'sold', getting close to a student sellout, which is solid.

    expecting a close game. Not going to predict a winner because i don't feel particularly confident either way. I'll call it a tossup
