NDSU article on ESPN -- good press for the Bison

[tweakers_suck]

I know it is time to put the NDSU game in the past, but here is one feel-good article for the Bison.  I think they'll have a great season.

I hate to bump this topic, since it seems most are content to move on.  But I just caught a couple things about the game from Parrish's colum...

Loss to hide from: Marquette had been flirting with upsets all season, so it seemed likely the Golden Eagles would eventually get clipped. But North Dakota State? A school that's only in its fourth season of Division I basketball? That's a bad loss, especially at home for a top 10 team. And it's not like Tom Crean's players were overlooking North Dakota State, or at least they shouldn't have been considering it was less than a year ago when the Bison upset Wisconsin just 80 miles to the west. (Note to Wisconsin-Milwaukee coach Rob Jeter: Do not schedule North Dakota State. It's a disaster waiting to happen.)

Final thoughts: Want to know how crazy college basketball is, and thus the coaching profession? Here's how crazy: Dan Monson opened with a 63-49 win over North Dakota State, and he was forced to resign from Minnesota last week. Meanwhile, North Dakota State just beat Tom Crean and Marquette, which had two weeks earlier beaten Mike Krzyzewski and Duke. So here's the breakdown: Monson is unemployed, though he beat NDSU. Crean has a contract through 2016-17, though he lost to NDSU. And Krzyzewski will someday be the winningest coach in Division I history, though he lost to Crean, who lost to NDSU, which is one of the few teams Monson could figure out how to beat before having to resign. Pretty wild, huh?

Wow, I can't believe he actually went with that bs logic.  Yeah Parrish, that's pretty wild.

Monson also lost to Division 2 Winona St, want to do a trace-back on that one, if you did a trace back on every bad loss, every coach would be unemployed, hell, why not fire Bobby Knight too because we beat Texas Tech and lost to NDSU, that actually made me laugh
