Concordia is good, and not just because they beat us. They had a number of injuries last year that derailed their season. Kimmons is probably the best...

Speaking of commitments...

I was looking through the list of commitments that I had started before the season...one of them flipped to Northern...

SMSU boatracing UMD women through one quarter.

It's 8, but the 8th man plays a lot less than the rest. It's been a really fun start to the season!...

Big weekend in Marshall, for both men's and women's. Lots of good teams in town.

Ouch...

[Stanger86]

Good catch. And I think this makes even more sense why the game was scheduled.

Northern has had only 5 home games in three of the last four...

This is a significant consideration at this level....

I did not expect to be saying this at the start of the season, but Jakob Braaten might be my favorite PG in the program in the last 20 years (outside...

Teams are going to not like playing against the Mustangs this year. I truly believe this group has the potential to rival or surpass the 2016-17 team...

[Stanger86]

Nah, they'll lead Division II again for the 37th straight season...

I don't blame Wolves fans for feeling this way. They were like THE premiere program of the NSIC when I started following. To see them fall so far must...

Sheesh, I should've remembered that one....

[Stanger86]

This is absolutely correct! Heck, when I was in school 15-20 years ago, we didn't even have a straight mass communications degree. I basically jerry-rigged...

[Stanger86]

I do think it's a size thing for a number of past guys. Take former Minneota QB Alex Pohlen, who actually committed to DWU but didn't stick. Despite a...

Your old friend Billeter is off to a 1-5 start....lone win so far against Northern.
