The New Glarus seasonals "Totally Naked" and "Yokel" are my favorite. Also, if you're a Leinenkugel's fan, check out "Leinie's Light" when you're in the western Wisconsin area.

Is anyone watching practice to provide a synopsis?

Needing more than 3,300 seats available for a basketball game would be a good problem to have. Until then, let's keep it intimate at the Betty.

Time for a little fun n' games Friday. Just a hypothetical to throw out there - win @ Wyoming or win @ NDSU - which would you rather have?

I just realized how young the team will be next year. By my count: 4 seniors, 1 junior, 4 sophomores, and 6 freshmen. 2 of the seniors have hardly played. We also lost would-be upperclassmen in Pioske and Thompson. Good back row ball control, though. If Griffin can set to all those (tall) hitters, it should be fun to watch.

Bubba: "Biggest mistake to make recruiting is to offer a kid because another school has offered." (paraphrased)

Seems weird that he couldn't just sit for the game against Wyoming.

Looks like we've really been able recruit some height in the last two classes.

Jeremiah Larsen is new coach of Weber State. I believe he was one of the finalists for UND's job last year. http://www.bigskyconf.com/news/2015/1/9/WVBALL_0109152817.aspx

Beating NDSU would be the single most important thing that UND can do to make it football program relevant. I'm not saying that it can't happen without it, but it will happen much faster with it. If it doesn't happen in the regular season, we should be hoping to meet them in the FCS playoffs, otherwise the next chance isn't until 2019. I'm guessing Bubba knows it, but September 19, 2015 will probably be the biggest football game of his life. I think all of us fans agree that Bubba has a vision to dethrone the powers of FCS, and is executing it the way we would want him to.

So far, I'm on board with Warriors or Arrows. I think both of those go along well with our current allowed imagry (i.e. Sioux heads, Sitting Bull statue), but doesn't necessarily have to have anything to do with Indians. Please, no animals of any kind. One possibilty that I have not seen anywhere is the Auroras, as in the northern lights. That is definitely regional, and their predominant color is green.

I don't UND will be able to pull it out this time. Probably lose by 12-15 points.

Technically, UND is not the underdog. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-basketball-rpi However, Minnesota has received votes in the AP poll. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-women/d1/associated-press

Northern Colorado swept Idaho St. To win the Big Sky championship. they started the year slow, but really turned it on when it counted. I hope they can knock off their NCAA tournament opponent and represent Big Sky VB well. One year soon UND will have that chance.

So, will we have a QB competition again for next season? Go!

Setting will be the key next season. We'll have the hitters, I am confident about that. Was hoping for more than a loss in the semifinals to send off Husfeldt and Robinson. They've been rocks for this team.

Big Sky semifinals 1) Idaho State 5) Northern Arizona 2) North Dakota 3) Northern Colorado

Northern Colorado wins in 3. They should be a very tough opponent for UND tomorrow.

I know there are travel issues by having the top seed host, but I love that system, and I hope the Big Sky doesn't mess with it too much. Last year's WBB tourney at the Betty was really fun, and I hope we do that for volleyball soon.

I'm not sure how the tickets are set up - my guess is that one ticket is good for all day. In this case, I would probably go to the second two games, but probably wouldn't take off work to see the day games. Presuming UND wins the quaterfinal, on the second day, I would attend both semi-final games. Regardless of who plays in the championship, I would go to that.

Took a little while to get rolling, but I never feared. I would say they have to put forth a little better execution in the semi-final if they want to advance, though.

We had no trouble with Montana this year, and looked especially dominant the last meeting. Hopefully that continues, but you know what they say about beating a team 3 times in one season...

I've been out of town a number of times this fall and have watched football and volleyball on the Watch Big Sky app, and I can easily say that UND is the class of the Big Sky when it comes to producing games.
