The Trees Are BACK!!!!!

Third season for the coach. Hopefully this is a reflection of his recruits cracking the line up. I'm happy for the Sycamores!

Not to mention conference and national def POTW!!!!!

great to see - had a friend that played for ISU back in the 90's - it was very painful to see them be so bad

I'm very happy for the Sycs. I predict they will continue to rise in the standings, year after year, and NDSU will continue to sink. NDSU will petition to join the OVC soon, so they have a chance at winning something......

No, Coach Miles recruits have always been playing. When he came in, he bascially identified the problems and dismissed a bunch of players from the team -- guys who never went to class, who gave substandard effort, etc. Most of the guys playing right now were recruited by Miles and have been playing since they were true freshmen. Compliment those guys with the transfers we took in and they're starting to put it together. We only have 8 seniors on our entire roster.

Wow. Future looks bright for the Trees then. Scrappy bunch to be winning more than usual with such a young nucleus. Hope they keep it up, prove it's not a fluke.

I don't see how people are ranking us tho...I agree with people we still need to prove a little bit more before we start to get playoffs or rankings and what not...I don't think that's hating on ISU at all tho...

INS is more deserving of Top 25 votes than NDSU is at this point in the season.

fact, beat NDSU and I say they are worthy of ranking.

If you weren't playing us this weekend, I'd be rooting for you all. One of the few schools in the conference without grandiose fanbases.

This coming from a member of the most......oh, well, you know, Gil.

I didn't omit NDSU with my statement either, nor UNI.
