Not a Jones fan by any means and feel that UND's basketball team was inconsistent, at best, this season, but......... UND was second in the Big Sky this year - without Brekke! Without Schuler for a good part of the year. Second! That means UND finished ahead of Montana, Montana State, Northern Colorado, and yes, even SUU. Again, not a Jones fan, but he had a long uphill road this year. Also, and do not extrapolate that I think hockey is taking the ability to win away from the rest of the programs, but he is recruiting basketball players to a school that acknowledges it is a hockey first school. These players are coming in knowing the darlings of the fan base are the hockey players (then probably the football team) and not the basketball players. That has to be a tough sell for the coaching staff. There is not a snowball's chance in #€|| that he is going to be fired after finishing second in the Big Sky.

Yes I do. The really funny thing is that you don't.

In my very humble opinion, NDSU, with their 12th seed, should be thankful they are not playing against the 16th seeded Wildcats. The Bison would have a VERY difficult time staying within 10 points of Weber.

Back on subject... Weber sure got a tough draw. Thought they might be able to notch a win in the first round, but to have to play Arizona!?!?! Not so much, now.

6th in the 14 team Southland this year... Coming back to the Summit to regain their pride? :/

Interesting that Miami - St Cloud works on iPad, but none of the other games

While I like your predictions, it seems that there is a greater need for an FCS conference in the west, since the Big Sky is the only game in town, so to speak. Now, if Idaho and New Mexico State were to join 6 teams in a split-off from the Big Sky and leave 7 or 8 teams in FCS, well, who knows?

I like your optimism on the football program, but on what grounds are you basing this statement? The football team has not even had spring practice yet. The optimism for Mussman's teams was always high at this time of year too.

Stopped reading other boards like anygivensaturday and championship subdivision because Bison trolls hijack every thread. It's not just here.

Bo Derek at her best!

You can't play for a trophy without the team name. No Indian head (Sioux), the trophy should be retired.

I would disagree that T Rex is in the minority. There are less than 20 siouxsports.com posters who have pledged for this. I am with T Rex; if the athletic dept, with a budget in excess of $20 million, does not feel it is even worthy of a reply to Ira or gfhockey, then they don't need to tap into my meager resources to replace the jerseys they currently have.

disagree. they will remember building a team TOGETHER.

apologies for being the spell police, but if you had spelled definitely correctly, it may not have auto corrected incorrectly.

I think you missed Cratter's point on this, Herd. The way I read it, he is not saying go back to DII and play Minot, Duluth, St Cloud... he is saying those that said UND couldn't move to DI/FCS because of the 'cost' actually 'cost' UND being on a level playing field with NDSU because of NDSU's head start into DI. He said "compete for championships" - that is what the Football Championship Subdivision does.

may have said the same about Schweigert in the national football search...

my Genuine Mexican Imitation Rolex cost $20. Makes a Timex sound expensive.

doesn't the WAC have one more year to re-start football? (not that there are enough Big Sky schools that are ready for FBS today, including UND) or maybe, with New Mexico State still in the WAC and still FBS, can that be drawn out for a longer period? Idaho is still FBS and will be Big Sky next year, would that make any difference?

So Brooks Bollinger was going to be a great draw as a recruiter because he was a local product that played in the NFL, but Hedberg (who was also an NFL qb) is not?

thanks for the insight, Geaux. don't get to see anything other than televised games.

Sparks, after meeting the new coach, may feel that he will not fit Schweigert's no-nonsense game plan.

While I may agree with you, maybe Miller was the guy who brought his lunchpail and gave 100% everyday while others were working on their touchdown dance... just giving playing time to the guy who earned it in practice. I don't know, but dedication during practice should earn playing time, imho.

who picks the position coaches? the head coach or the coordinators? any leaders at this point?

One helmet should be enough... Jerseys- ok
