(And thanks for the GOLD, Mrs. Smith!) Maybe I should've made the graphic larger. (I have big screens). UND shot 59, ORU 50, NDSU 38.

theeagleman5 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 ORU headed into an angry den of lions tonight and i have a feeling that Coach Mills and the guys will thrive on it....a bunch of very steady dudes who don't seem to get flustered by adversity and there will be some of that tonight.....Max has a huge will to win and his teammates will rally around him....not expecting to need a miracle but will take it if the time comes......excited to see how ORU plays on the national stage tonight....this is our moment...Let's Do it!!!

Old Titan Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Still not convinced there won't be a LOT of folks who can't bring themselves to cheer for a Paul Mills team. Check out these North Dakota sports talk guys broadcasting live this morning from Sioux Falls. Fast-forward to the 48:00 minute mark, where the banter morphs from "What should NDSU do to improve their in-game experience at home" into "Who will the locals cheer for tonight?". That segment lasts for about three minutes until a break, and when they return they start dissecting tonight's match-up where at the 58:00 mark, they once again agree that the "hate" for Paul Mills will create a "one-time only" instance of South Dakota fans cheering for a North Dakota school. BTW, these guys are pretty entertaining... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 We also have to quit with the turnovers. We did so well on Saturday. Last night--pretty awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Agreed sir....under 10 Turnovers and we should be in the Big Dance.....12 Turnovers tonight and ORU will likely be NIT Bound..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ma'am. That's okay. We don't specify on this board. All that matters is, we're all ORU fans and we want our guys to WIN!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm from Winnipeg. People, often thinking that they are terribly funny, will refer to my fair city as Winterpeg. When the Jets are really humming, I like to refer to it as Winnerpeg myself, but I digress. Fact is, it gets cold up here, sometimes for an inordinately long time. You get used to to it though. I do not get offended when people say that it gets cold for a little longer than most places on the globe here. Neither should the Dakotas! It's cold there too, all my joking about southern climes aside for a moment. What is the issue? Okay, if you start saying that Tulsa is this huge advanced cosmopolitan mecca, we might have an argument, but the cold thing by itself, big deal! We need to stop getting offended at everything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Max came back for this: a chance to go to the NCAA's and put his name back on the map. We have been waiting for him to have a break out game and tonight is the night! Lead us to victory Mid Court Max! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Man, is this place always this hoppin' on a Tuesday afternoon, or is this a special day for some reason? Okay, okay, I get it. I have to say something to someone! It's great to have this company of the like-minded to share this excitement with today. By the way, I would love to be at the ORU Watch Party tonight. Enjoy it, those of you that are able to have that experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKC Eagle Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 In my very small sample size of talking to 20 something SDSU fans in various fast food and retail establishments, they are all hoping we beat the hated NDSU and none have even mentioned Mills comments. My guess is that this is a much bigger deal among the local press than the general pop. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
