Following on live stats. EWU takes set 1 25-22.

Nope, not here either.

I like everything you're saying. The only thing I wish were different was that at least NDSU (South Dakota schools I could take or leave) were also in the Big Sky. I too dream of a conference with all of the major state school from the northern plains and northern rockies together.

Not meant to be a slam, more curiosity, but do you have the same feeling about the Illinois Illini, and the Utah Utes?

Of the names that are left (believe me, there are ones that were eliminated that I liked better), Nodaks is my choice for many reasons, none of which has anything to do with my support of the hockey team (I am a season ticket holder for football and volleyball, attend a few basketball games, and watch every televised hockey game). I was in support of retiring the name back in 2008-09 timeframe when UND was looking for a conference. I voted with the 2/3 majority in 2012 to reverse the legislature's state law. My point is that it's not just the hockey-only crowd that is showing support.

Sioux > Nodaks > Flickertails

Wayne Nelson shares my sentiments exactly. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/local-sports/3845087-wayne-nelson-heated-debate-over-unds-nickname Absolutely "no" to Hawks or Sundogs. North Stars is somebody else's (Minnesota). So is Roughriders, but more tied to North Dakota. If this wins, I could live with it. Nodaks says everything we need to say. It even has a history of being used before.

Kind of got lost in the Bison football game hoopla, UND volleyball finished off the weekend 3-1 by beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff and South Carolina Upstate today. UND has a 11-5 record heading into Big Sky play, which starts Thursday.

I really didn't think it would be this bad. I really didn't.

Sorry!

Someone had to start one, right?

Locally on North Dakota NBC stations. Streaming on ESPN3.

UND wipes the floor clean with Tennessee-Martin, 25-9, 25-15, 25-15. Julia Spacek played in her first action of the season and registered 2 kills. Hitting percentage was outstanding, with no players under .000. With Julia logging some time, the only two players to not have played yet are Sidney Mattson and Alivia Fraase (both red-shirting, at least at the moment.)

'93 goal post coming down. I was 11 at the time, and didn't really know the significance of the victory. I didn't even know that could be done with a goal post. '94 season beating 'em twice

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.
