  1. It's from the same folks that brought you ...
  2. College coach goes and watches a HS game and sees an interesting freshman. Thinks: Maybe after HS and a year of juniors ... five years. HS coach goes to a bantam game and sees and interesting 9 year old. Thinks: Maybe in ... five years (as a freshman or 8th grader).
  3. Partial credit. Going sentence by sentence ... You have to average 15k attendance (actual or ticket sold) once every two years. You are allowed to use a different stadium to count as one of your "home" games (and thus toward your attendance numbers). Not attainable? Things as they are now always will be this way? Alerus can't be modified? UND attendance can't improve? No, NDSU does not qualify for FBS right now. The attendance aspect? Yes. The bona fide* invitation from an FBS conference? Not so much. *If you've read the NCAA manual on the subject you'll know I'm quoting.
  4. We have it in evidence that "1 + 1 = 2". What we have in evidence (fact) is that UND did not apply for conference membership in 2005. What we have in evidence (fact) is that NDSU did not apply for conference membership in 2010. What we do *not* have in evidence is what would have been the outcome if either *had* applied. We don't have evidence on the outcome because (wait for it ...) neither applied. Because it never happened it is not in evidence and any assumed outcomes are merely conjecture. Thus ends the discussion on factual evidence versus conjecture.
  5. 10,000 is a fine goal for a post-season tournament. Did you know UND is currently averaging 11460 during this regular season for a sport "nobody cares about"?
  6. Again with conjecture. Yes, 1 + 1 = 2; but, we only have one "1", namely UND did not apply. You're assuming a second "1" (that UND would not get in) which is strictly conjecture. I'm saying there's only one "1" and thus 1 = 1, or, there was no application to join so we'll never know what may have happened. Same would apply for NDSU in 2010.
  7. You've stretched too far again. UND never applied in 2005; hence, UND did not get into the BSC in 2005. That's all that can be said. Beyond that is conjecture. NDSU never applied to the BSC in 2010 so again, we'll never know, and anything more is again conjecture.
  8. Funny thing is, two sides make a contract. Both Idaho and the BSC signed it. The BSC signed a document stating losing UND would be a significant loss.
  9. Thought that bore repeating.
  10. Thank you for pointing out facts, and then providing opinion and belief, or, put more simply, proving my point.
  11. Thank you for coming in and attempting to be condescending and succeeding at being insulting. All we have are the honest facts of what happened. After that it's all opinion and belief.
  12. Unfortunately it violates the NCAA's "RENO" rule: no monikers that are Race, Ethnicity, or National Origin based.
  13. Hopefully after this.
  14. I agree, which means all we have is the reality that occurred.
  15. Dumpster fire.
  16. Three unanswered ... a-a-a-a-gain.
  17. I walk away for a minute and you guys let this crap happen? PS - Apparently UND men taught USA women to shoot at (and miss) empty nets ...
  18. That would only happen if the UND Mens coach was running Team USA.
  19. "Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves."
  20. How'd the German women finish? Wasn't there talk that they had to finish in the top ___ or the German Olympic Federation was going to cut off their funding?
  21. Universities everywhere are bad that way now --> have to have jobs for all those PhDs they turn out. The public schools are really bad: lots of top-bloat in that realm.
  22. Don't most of those mentioned front onto University? Seems like prime real estate for a new, better building for _______. And I'd been wondering what happens to the old Med School building. (I'm assuming the "student housing building" is the conference center across from the Union/parking ramp.)
  23. I'd take tomorrow night's PowerBall.
