UNDBIZ

34-9 "UND is the worst team we've ever played in the D1 era" 59-7 "WIU is a really good team tho"

WIU got slaughtered by 52 points with ndsu starting a freshman piece of hockey equipment at qb? Ouch.

After it's all said and done, WIU had more "good" losses than we had losses. It stinks, but we never had a chance against a team with that many losses.

At this point I'd be pleasantly surprised if any of our guys made an all big Sky team, much less all American. No respect right now.

I was only listing the teams we didn't already play this year, but yes. Although I think the final result, in terms of wins and losses, would be the same, I'd like to see what would happen in a rematch. Studsrud was living up to the first 4 letters of his name down the stretch.

They have so many good losses though, that's what matters.... this year.

I'd also like to see us play SUU, SDSU, SHSU, UNH, Chatty, Fordham, citadel, Colgate, ccu, jsu, jmu, csu, mcneese, uni, Richmond, Duquesne, w&m, isu-red, and Dayton.

Meh, defender trying to get a strong running back down, don't really blame him. The ndsu "block" on Arnell was straight up dirty and has no place in the game.

This is the first game I've been able to watch this year, is Bernstein just having an off night?

I like Crandall. Very scrappy. Follows his shot and fights for the rebound. He and Seales could both be very good.

Und coming out of the locker room?

I thought he actually did a decent job avoiding contact on that one. Guy flopped before he even got there and still got the call.

I feel pretty confident saying yes, UND is the first 7 D1 wins, with an fbs win, to miss.

Oh they did have one more good loss than us, against the paper tiger SUU. I guess that guy did know what he was doing. 0 wins against playoff or fbs teams, but that doesn't matter.

So was Mollberg just never the same after his injury? It still doesn't make sense to me that Bartels was the #2 all year unless that was the case.

Exactly. Lose to Wyoming and PSU and win those games against Idaho St and weber and we're in the playoffs. Wins don't matter, only losses.

NAU only had 6 D1 wins, so I disagree on their placement ahead of us.

In short, no. The host bidding doesn't, or shouldn't, affect who is selected to make the 24 team field.

Committee made it fairly clear the quality of losses was more important than the quality of wins. WIU had better losses than us, and more of them, so obviously the committee couldn't turn them down.

IIRC, they're losing their qb and #1 wr.

According to the NCAA that was neutral ice. Let's be honest though, und will have more fans in the stands in any arena not located in St cloud.

Sdsu lost to 2 playoff teams and 1 playoff joke. PSU lost to one playoff team and 1 non playoff team. But losing to a non playoff team obviously doesn't make a team bad or unworthy of a top 3 seed.....

They got 1 against Illinois St.
