Thoughts, anyone? Here are my options; click to blow up to full size: By the way, about that second one down… yes, that’s DU BALLZ sitting on press row… Read more »
Appearing on his weekly radio show Monday night, Denver head coach Joe Scott took responsibility for veering off track in his team’s preparation for the BTI Invitational in Eugene, which saw the Pioneers’ promising season get off to a disastrous 0-3 start with losses to UC-Santa Barbara, Oregon and North Dakota State on consecutive nights. “Our preparation for these three… Read more »
The Denver Pioneers came up empty on their trip to Oregon for the BTI Invitational, falling to 0-3 on the season as they blew a 26-16 first-half lead and lost 65-54 to North Dakota State.

Denver head coach Joe Scott knows a little bit about Northern Iowa. And he’s not afraid to tell you that he’d like to follow in their footsteps. Last season, Scott’s Pioneers opened their season by hosting the Panthers. I was at that game, and I watched DU lose a close contest, 71-65.
