GDT: NDSU vs SDSU

[unbison]

What a difference a week makes. I talked about how Zastrow was not quite ready to perform at this level. He just grew up. The guy can play and will be a leader for this team from here on in.

Just needed some shots to fall to gain his confidence. He is a natural point guard. When you have someone that can run the team, all the other pieces fall into place.

He had to grow up.......Cause there is no fricking way you were WRONG.............lol

[unbison]

Something is just wrong about this..........
Come on NDSU, Fargo, State of ND........quit being conservative dorks. This is a DI university that is putting ND on the map again. Do something like yesterday. We shouldn't be waiting 2 or 3 or 5 more years to get started...........

Mr conservative ripping on his own

Sorry, but I do not want to ride a bus home late at night in the winter. Would rather 'camp over night', nice breakfast then drive home the next day. Been doing all nighters on the "road" for over 32 years and do not like it. So, not an excuse....

Excuse=to serve as justification

and i believe that is what you just did..............FYI hotel rooms in brookings not that hard to find

WOW! That one was painful! It was another game we will all talk about for a long time but for different reasons.

Congrats to the Bison for pulling out a gutty win. That was just a bizarre ending. I'm not here to complain about officiating. That could be done every game.

How about the ball getting stuck between the rim and backboard? Unreal! The ultimate bad break in my eyes. That was when I knew it probably wasn't our night.

I also send apologies for the coke throwin' jerk. Just not needed.

Hopefully we get another chance to play in Sioux Falls.

Hahahah, is my reaction to your idea that anyone outside Fargo is going to vote to have any state money spent on a basketball arena. First of all a huge chunk of that money has to be put back into the upkeep of roads and other resources out west from where that money came from. Some of those highways are terrible from all the truck traffic and just don't fix themselves. Second and most importantly a huge chunk will be needed for whatever flood plan gets voted for. Third, and this comes from living and working out west for many years, no one west of Jamestown really cares as much about NDSU and UND for that matter as we would like to think they do. Unless they are an alum they could care less about what type of basketball arena we play in and I'm guessing some state reps will have a lot of explaining to do if that would happen. As much as I would like to see some money come our way from the state I just don't see it happening. I'm really hoping the Sanford arena rumor is true. Thats the best bet to get something going.

unbison......Go cry about your goophers losing AGAIN. This time tubby's bubbies lose to Northwestern. Awwwwwww!
BTW, I am not an ultra conservative and believe it should be some of the states responsibility to assure NDSU gets an upgrade to bring its aging DII basketball facility up to par. Of course, teammakers, the Fargodome and big time donors will do their part too. Just don't think the state should expect the upgrade to completely come from private donations. The entire state benefits from the exposure NDSU got in the national tournament and should understand the results merit some funding for improvements (at least for the BSA renovation). That would free up private donations for the new arena.

go cry..........really I think not
I will be attending a game this weekend.... missed you in brookings or couldnt you make it?

Too bad some of those in western ND can't grow up a bit and understand the importance of academics and athletics to the state. Just a shame if so many out west are that ignorant. I don't see that in western Minnesota as many are Goopher fans (look at unbison). So whats the problem in western ND......apparently they have no pride. I really can't believe that the vast majority out there didn't pay a little attention when NDSU got to the dance.
As for roads......those who tear-em up (truckdrivers) maybe need to pay a little more to make up for their abuse of the roads.
So keep on laughin Grizzled.....just like those who visit the BSA do when they see the pathetic facility a STATE university in ND has..............
At minimum, the state should fund the BSA rennovations (raised track, new offices, remodeled bathrooms, expanded weight room, and additional basketball practice courts). That would allow private donations to be focused on the new arena.

As I explained to others who went to the SDSU game I could not make it to Brookings on Saturday night. I really did plan on going. If only I had a lame excuse, but I did not. Wished like hell I could have been there. As for my reason for not going I don't believe this board needs to hear about issues in my personal life.

As much as I wish this was not a correct assessment I am sad to say it is. Most of the legislators from rural ND are not college educated and fail to understand much of what goes on in the big universities. We had better not look to the state as a source for a new arena or it will never happen.
BTW had to listen to alot of whining from people here about NDSU BB being on TV instead of hockey. Guess they were not bright enough to check the guide to see that hockey was televised on another channel.
