Man amongst boys.

Surprised with the blacks.

I believe you win.

They will never subtract teams from the tournament. Just keep adding more as time goes on. I could see a "BCS" system for basketball*. Meaning basically the big schools say: "thanks but no thanks" to the "minor schools." We can play you in the schedule but your aren't eligible for our National Championship. *32 team name school tournament. Division I basketball will keep getting watered down by the UND' and NDSU's. The "majors" have no division to move up to.

I like him cause he pisses off Bison fans.

+1 for you

Yes the Sioux fan bus will be at Labby's. I think his kids go to UND.

And that's what upsets NDSU fans so much. For years Sioux fans #1 favorite team to play against was the Gophers in Hockey. For years Bison fans #1 favorite team to play against was UND in football. They don't like being UND's #2. That's the problem Sicatoka.

NDSU 79 UND 60

The best part of joining the Big Sky is UND can still join the Summit/Valley later if they are invited and they see it worthy. And the only reason to join the Valley Summit is cause of the other Dakota schools.

Are you trying to copy me? I proposed it back before this thread was established and might be the first to recommend it, but it gets lost in the shuffle. Its by FAR the best nickname. Doesn't have any drawbacks and its probably a name most people would like to see. Sioux fans should be upset that this isn't going to be the nickname cause they will see it as a cowboys vs indians thing. My link

It's a sell out but you can still buy tickets Odd that this game (and a number of others) costs more than the SDSU Jacks. $12 vs $15. I wouldn't know what to think if I just bought four tickets for $60 when I could now just get them for free at BWW.

Two questions: What's the biggest crowd to watch a basketball game in North Dakota? Do the NDSU men return the trip to Grand Forks next year?

My math says they were missing 36.8% of their fans. 7000/19000.

Word on the street is Kill won over a lot of Gopher fans at the press conference.

I like the North Dakota Fighting Plainsmen, I pray ever night the new nickname is not an animal. The best transition would be another "group of people."

Read the comments in the newspaper article. 90% of gopher fans are not happy about this choice. Many calling for Maturi to resign/get fired? Maturi's last pick for head coach was horrible (brewster) and I don't see anything changing with Kill. Glen Mason had over a 52 winning percentage at Minnesota over ten seasons with a 60% winning average the last five years he was there......and he was fired.

I am glad they hired him. He seems like an average coach. Kill has a 23-16 record at NIU Southern Illinois (55-32 in seven seasons), Emporia State (11-11 in two seasons) and Saginaw Valley State (38-14 in five seasons).

Not for him as he mentioned. He profits from both cities. Its funny. Our neighbors, the ones most like us, seem to be the ones we are suppose to hate (rivalry).

That's a well kept secret.

Considering Siouxsports.com is a sponsor of this event (which is cool to see) are there any members here planning on attending?

And the originator of the trophy, UND alumni.

I could never buy a Plasma. The glare would drive me crazy.

To bring up an old topic, but I love showing off my projector. Here's a picture of me watching the Sioux beat Wisconsin in High Definition on the 100" "TV" in my apartment! And a couple Sioux fans doing the "terrorist fist jab" in the background. (maybe I should have combed my hair)

This is where you start to get worried with a split.
