What would be the "moral victory" in this game?

Yeah, that does seem more appropriate. If so, quite the gaffe for Mitch Wigness on undsport.com

Does this seem like an odd comment to anybody else? "We won. That's it. That's all. That's the only thing anyone here should pleased with," UND head coach Mark Pryor said. "Every match matters. There comes a time in season where reality has to set in for teammates to be responsible for their own mental effort and mental preparation. That time is now." Despite the win, there must have something that Pryor really didn't like.

UND beats Austin Peay in 4. Good road win.

Yes, I didn't mean to blame just the team itself. I meant sins relating to football. It seems the other sports have rebounded more quickly, though I'd really like to make a leap with the men's basketball team soon.

So, I'm getting more "no's" than I was expecting. What would it take, then? Make the playoffs? Win the Big Sky? Deep run into the playoffs? A victory over NDSU in the playoffs? A FCS National Championship?

You pretty much hit on what I was thinking about. To name a few specifically - the loss to Sioux Falls, the entire 2013 season, the loss of casual fans to NDSU's side with their rise.

So, do all previous UND football sins get forgiven with a victory?

Does anyone use the Alerus wifi? I see it password protected, so it that password available? I wanted to follow this thread while sitting at the game, but there's no way my cell service would allow it. Was that the reason for the lack of posts? last week, I followed the entire game on the GDT, complete with (nearly) down by down coverage. Maybe also 'cause it was on TV that posters didn't feel the need to update all the time.

Best case scenario is that the coaches and players treat this game like a loss, and really get after it this week. I never thought we were going to lose the game, but I was nervous the entire second half. I could see the writing on the wall that the defense wasn't going to be able to hold forever.

Another sweep for the UND ladies over Jacksonville state.

UND sweeps the 'yotes in a tidy 1:20 or so. 25-19 in set 3.

Another win in set 2 - 25-17.

UND handles USD 25-19 in set 1.

I agree that we didn't play the dominating game that I think we are capable of. They were serving and spiking towards Courtney Place a lot, making the 6'2" hitter take the bump rather than our excellent (and much shorter) defensive specialists (Hart, Clarke). I'm guessing the strategy there is that it would get her out of rhythm from her spiking game, or even force Griffin to set to someone else. Place did have the kill of the night, in my opinion, towards the very end of the fifth set. Absolutely crushed a cut shot from the left side. It was a message to Green Bay that "You're not gonna win this game, and here's what I'm doing about it!"

A good radio would probably pick up 970 AM out of Fargo from Bemidji, possibly even 550 AM out of Bismarck, which has a huge range.

I asked coach Pryor this, and he is planning to redshirt her. He says there's a logjam at her position now anyways, and the extra year will help her adjust to the speed of the college game.

29-27 loss in set 4.

UND gets set 3 with a little more breathing room 25-18.

Another extended set 26-24, UND on top this time.

21-20. gB takes a TO.

21-16 UWGB. UND takes second time out.

It was a long drawn out affair, but UND falls in Set 1 27-25. All four team time outs were taken, plus media, so it was a long set. UND led 5-1 to start, but GB caught back up, and it was close the rest of the way.

UND leads 2-0 over SDSU. I don't think they have trailed.
