predictably, the league is wide open which is what many thought might be the case. As we have seen in post Covid NSIC football, the mised year has made things crazy. Same with hoops. Yeah they played some,but limited schedules, some guys not playing, a bunch of guys transferring has made this wide open.Should make for a fun year.

Margs didn't pick Kelby Kramer as his Player to Watch, fire him for cause.

I find it very interesting that Minot State was only 2 coaches vote points from 2nd in the North. As a new Beaver fan I am excited to see them in conference play.

Some think Minot is vastly underrated as do I.

He knew everyone was already watching the beast.

Seems there's quite a bit of parity in the North once you get past Moorhead.

I'm actually a little surprised for that reason that the coaches didn't give Northern a little benefit of the doubt. Even though they lost a ton of talent, that's still a bit of a shocker.
