I guess I don't view Rudy as young or inexperienced, which to me makes things worse. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209357073 23 years of collegiate coaching experience at the time of Bubba's hire. I'd be on board with Freund, or even Chuck the Pigskin.

Midco doesn't carry these anymore.

Not sure about locked up, but back in the driver’s seat since both UND and PSU lost on Saturday.

There go hosting chances.

So with the Sac St. loss, that opens up a three-way race for the regular season that includes SAC, PSU, and UND. PSU and SAC still have a game left against each other, and we will have cheer for PSU, but PSU also holds the tie-breaker over UND, so that is a delicate situation. The team that we can cheer for with abandon is Idaho St., which still has games against SAC and PSU (both at home), but has enough losses that they are not really a threat to host. Too bad the right to host is not our destiny to control. At least not yet.

NAU did us huge favor by beating Sac in 5!

I was looking for 2017 attendance stats on NCAA.com, but couldn't find current data. Do you have a link?

I also looked that up! It is not much of a house - it totally is conceivable that he stays there by himself during the high seasons.

Lead by about 10 at one point (21-11, maybe), but WSU took it down to the wire. 25-21 set 2.

Closer than I would have expected, but we win set 1 25-21.

Actually not bad for 11 am Saturday following a gopher hockey game. Have to compete with tailgating, too.

Last night was the first game of 4 for Sac on the road, and they close with 6 of 8 on the road, so maybe there's some road woes upcoming for them. It would be so fun to host again. Last night's crowd at Betty was the best I've seen for a regular season Big Sky game.

defense came alive in the third set, and we cruise 25-16.

Trailed most set 2, one time by 5, but clawed our way back to finally tie it at 20, then had some nerve wracking play until we prevailed 27-25.

Lead by as many as 7, but had to settle for a 3 point set 1 win.

Great crowd on hand! Girls looked good in warmups, so I’m ready for some high flying action!

I hope not. He clearly didn't have the athletic department's best interest in mind when he encouraged fans to get the state legislature involved with the Fighting Sioux nickname.

Swept UM tonight. Watched highlights, and it looks like Vail had a good game- great to see.

Hopefully one of our future quarterbacks is a gamer like Studs. We are extremely fortunate he is our QB.

The issue I see staring us in the face is that we haven't found a suitable replacement for Moser. Julia K must not be 100%, or at least isn't playing up to her pre-injury self, and Amelia Johnson is too green to fill the role of Moser/Julia K sufficiently. I'm guessing Pryor is figuring they can still have a highly successful season without pulling any red shirts (or they're not any better than those that are playing). There's a secondary development that's started recently that I am not in favor of, and that is Dooley playing one position of back row. My only guess is that Pryor is trying to do her a favor to potentially advance her chances of post-college playing (Olympic tryout? Beach circuit? (is that a thing?)) by making her a more well-rounded player. Trouble is, she's not that great of a server - yeah, she doesn't error generally, but they're super easy to dig. Then, when the opponent gets in system easily (because of the soft serve), they attack right at Dooley, who's a pretty poor back row player due to her height. Pryor's wasting a rotation in my opinion, and it's not in the best interest of the team. The loss last night may have end of season repercussions, as we are all aware. Gotta root for the other good teams in the South Division (NAU, PSU) to hand SAC two losses, while we remain at one loss.

No Pluto anymore, so need updates here!

Is the game final?

This is the question I posed earlier.

How much time is left?

So if injuries really are the problem, is there a way to reduce that?
