Not sure I could imagine being a fan of school that has trash like Jones still on a contract for a few more seasons.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
We just 3-1 on a 4 game road trip. Thats pretty damn good, sure we have plenty of issues but we need to enjoy this. The team is giving max effort. Coaching staff did make a cpl good moves tonight. We sit 6-4in the conference with 4 straight home games. Time to make a push, would be huge to get to the 2-3 seed for Sioux Falls and avoid SDSU as long as possible.

I'm continuing to cheer for Bison basketball, hard
I love seeing them do well
I like Deng Geu AND Jared Samuelson AND Chris Quayle. Each have strengths and each have weaknesses.
It was fun having a couple comical coaches, with smily demeanors, it's not a requirement for a coach in my mind. If a coach works the refs a little and is a little type A, that's ok too.
I'm high on the current roster. All the way down to the last guy on the bench, there are no wasted spots this year IMO. I like the guys already verballed as well. Not just local, but appear to be high level local.
The attrition after last year wasn't necessarily all bad. As mentioned previously, I like this roster.
I'm impressed with the bench guys. Guys like Horn and the true freshmen not playing seem like great team guys. As fans we worry a lot about how they'll take it, they seem to be handling it well just like we expect our football backups to have to compete for PT. Our entire roster is back next year so if injuries forced us to burn redshirts maybe a couple will get it back next year. If not, and they don't win a spot or leave, that's the competitive nature of Division 1 basketball.
Very happy with the recent stretch and am hoping the fact Griesel and Hunter are back in the lineup and the rotation seems to be more settled on have a lot to do with it.
The men's team and the women's team are not even in the same stratosphere when it comes to the state of the program.
Does Richman have some specs of dirt in his eye that I'd like to see him improve? Absolutely! I'd bring them up, but you can pick one of the 7 open pitchfork threads and chances are they're covered in there. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll concern myself with the plank in my eye and hopefully can be in our seats at some of these home games down the stretch.
Go Bison! (all Bison)
We are 8-1 at home this season. 4 straight at home will do us good!

Lets get home for some good old home cooking. Broke out the brooms on the F'Hawkers. I snuck over to YHB for some light reading. They talk about us not being any good but they lost to us twice. They used to talk about how terrible the Summit League was and the Big Fluffy was so much better. But yet they sit at the bottom of the Summit League and are in position to miss the playoffs in Sioux Falls. Wonder if they eat their crow pie warm or cold? Stupid F'Hawkers.....
