The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft-living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life...
Disagree pretty firmly. This team, with Dupree, has every contributor besides Alexander from last year. Paul's step up has made up a lot of that gap. This team beat a Montana team by 20 that it lost to last year. That's maybe not the best way to look at it but to say they're "nowhere near as good" is honestly ludicrous. By the time March comes around they'll have just as good of a chance at dancing as last year's squad did. "Too young".... lol, uh 6 of the 7 guys that played last year are on this years team and have another year of experience.
Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk
This law is the final word:
For the strength of the Herd is the Bison
And the strength of the Bison is the Herd.
I think if Dupree hadn't quit for that short period the team has a few more wins, that said if he can come back and help out in the tournament I could see the team making a run. This team isn't terrible, just at times they have some lapses. It reminds me of young teams with Braun and LA. These issues are really magnified on the road.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
NDSU is definitely not a bad team. Bad teams get blown out of the water and when this team loses it is usually a squeaker. Someone else mentioned it, but this team, with its lapses, cold spells, and sloppy streaks reminds me some of the young Braun, LA team.

Terrible loss today. Pissed away a 10 point second half lead. Can't in bound the ball. Can't make fricking free throws. The whole program needs to do some soul searching and that includes the coaching staff. Dave was out coached IMO. Why isnt Dex in bounding it in a late foul situation. He shouldn't be going to the line there. Need to pull there heads out before the tourney or they might as well stay home.
Ooof.
Bad loss to take.
Thankfully we're only halfway through the conference schedule. Bust out the rest of the way and don't drop a game. Get better from the free throw line (gotta earn 'em!), play solid D, and stop putting out cruise control with 10 minutes left in the game.
