Chatty lost how many games by how many points? The whole Born thing raised my brow.

From what I've seen of his discussions in the past I imagine it will look something like this....

Good to see ISU's Birds checking in at #13, but still apparently NOT good enough to be picked for the playoffs. Guess finishing 3rd in the #1 rated conference and giving the eventual national champion a great game on their home turf, but hey...

Hopefully the playoff committee and Valley rep will figure it out next season xcoolx

Having 7 D1 wins would help ya out too. Accomplishing that is on you guys though. Giving someone a great game on their home turf is weak enough but the fact that the eventual NC couldn't have been known at that time makes it more unstable.

Are we still talking about 2011? That's ancient history...National Signing Day in 16 days and Spring 2012 begins in 8 weeks.:D

Try a little fact check....the Birds DID HAVE 7 D1 wins!!!
You would think that someone with 7084 AGS posts will be a bit more careful before they post, but hey no harm no foul.

Enjoy a great offseason folks :)

UND #33 behind South Dakota, and Southern Utah...boy those NAIA games hurt us in this poll. At least next season if we go 8-3 we will be in the playoffs with a higher GPI than in 2011.

What the hell would a post count possibly have to do with fact checking or being careful, or correct?xlolx

Don't sweat it. He's still butthurt about his team not being unseeded cannon fodder in the playoffs.
