Wait, like 99.9% of the schools? Stop it with this common sense reasoning, there is no place for this here!

Haven't you been paying attention: You didn't play Montana!

No list and no stats. I just double checked myself.

One of the Florida QBs from a year or so ago got busted for the same thing (if this is the case)

Perhaps this was why they brought in more RBs?

So this is really a thing Challenges usually mean that all or nearly all of the members of both conferences are involved. It kinda comes off as forced.

Pretty sure that was the pic from 2014 during the week before they played UNC when it was bitterly cold.

If they can get through that UNC/SAC/PSU road swing in the first 6 games of conference play, I'd give them a decent shot of running the table.

Not surprising to see them as heavy favorites going in to repeat. If there is one concern I have for this team it is this Is Jordan Vail ready to take over the middle after the graduation of Moser? Another dynamic I will watch is how much time Mattson gets at setter over the season, it will more than likely be her job next year (unless Veldman is the heir apparent) so how much action will she get? Hard to take an All-American in Griffin off the court, but you also need to look ahead to 2018 as well. I am very bullish on this team and think that they can do even better than last year. I think they could have a 14-2, 15-1 conference record and win 30 games overall when it is all said and done. It gets off to a tough start as they have the 2nd 3rd and 5th preseason ranked teams within the first 6 games. If they can get through that, they should run wild through the middle part until the NAU/UNC finale. *I should clarify that when I mean win 30 games, I am including the 3 BSC tourney games in GF as well )

Its because UND is doing it, and anything that UND does that 99.9% of other schools do already is just wrong.

http://www.syracuse.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/08/think_you_know_cold_former_j-d_basketball_star_jafar_kinsey_plays_in_north_dakot.html Pretty high praise by Jones on Jafar. Hopefully he can make an impact off the bench as much as he did last year on the bench with his guitar.

right now it looks like a genius move. 7 shutout innings tonight. One of the prospects they got for Garcia is starting tomorrow.

Taking on Tim Miles and company. Very nice. I am liking this non-conf schedule more and more. Should only be 2-3 more games left to find.

I would hope that the Horizon can make their moves sooner rather than later because I would think the Summit would like to get another team in at the same time UND is going in for 2018-19. Lets say for the sake of argument that for whatever reason, IFPW decides to hang tight and stay in the Summit. Does that mean the likelihood that they just target old soulmate UMKC and call it good for now increase?

Hmmm.... http://idahostatejournal.com/news/local/vailas-announces-retirement-from-idaho-state-university/article_fcdb24b5-e48e-58fe-a178-fe50b104e937.html Haven't I seen this somewhere before?

And should UND beat Montana, people will say it was the weakest Griz squad in x years....

Yeah, I misunderstood what you meant, I was thinking you meant UND was playing 4 teams, not three. My bad.

Think its a 4 day, 3 team tournament and not playing on the 11th. Records of the three teams last year, results of conference tournament, and any postseason they were in. Troy 22-15, Sun Belt Tournament champions, NCAA 1st round Ark-PB, 7-25 did not qualify for SWAC tourney Hawaii 14-16, Big West QF

On their website, they correctly have it has UND. Leave it to the Media to goof that up. Aloha to Hawaii! 11/10, 11/12. 11/13: Hawaii, Troy, Arkansas-Pine Bluff (order not set yet) That puts UND at 26 confirmed games (8 non-conference + 18 Big Sky conf). about 3 to 4 games left out there

Is 2019 a 12 game year?

O-Line, O-Line, O-Line. That's all that matters to me. Think they will be a playoff team at 10-6, 11-5, go 5-1 in the division

Can we change the rules halfway through if two names are close enough in the voting?

Interesting that game is the Monday after Thanksgiving. Makes me think that they won't have a tournament over Thanksgiving (or else why schedule a game that Monday when you traveling back Sunday Night, even if it is NAIA). That must have been a recent add by them because I looked twice on their site and didn't see anything. This could mean two things This would certain open the door for this possibility. The tourney is typically held in the 2nd week of November, so this too is another possibility.

Nice looking non-conf so far. My longshot hope is that we somehow get USD on the schedule this year. Also interested if are going to play any other big name school (Gophs maybe?)

Here are the two games scheduled for NDSU 12/9 NDSU 1/16 @NDSU
