None of that matters if he was given the ball 4,000 times? What about the rest of the season besides the past 4 games? Why have they went for 2 pt conversion 17 times the last four games? The real indication is Average Yards per Carry. The rest is water under the bridge.

Where do you see UND in twenty years? Do you want to see UND move to DIA eventually and be another Ball State or other team failing to meet the minimum average attendance requirements? Or would you be happy competing in IAA. Which I believe will be essentially the old D2 (because of all the teams moving the past decade). Will the administration (and fans) ever be content with where they are or should they keep striving to find another level?

No has to wonder how hard it really is to get into a conference once declaring IAA. NDSU/SDSU aren't even playoff eligible and have already formed a football conference, been invited to the midcon, and now are getting looked at by the Gateway (along with inquiries by the Big Sky). Something tells me it won't be as hard to find a conference as some people think once UND moves.

Why did NDSU change?? Is that before or after the UND game in Fargo where there was a "sellout"? Side Note: to me it doesn't matter. I think every institute should count "paid attendance." The school gets the money either way.

hmmm believe some joe schmoe bison fan (you) about who the gophers biggest rivals are or a poll done by one of the largest and most respected sports magazine of minnesotans. That says the best rivalry involving the Gophers is against UND? Tough choice. PS. One a person uses "one of" it does not mean the only. Just "one of" a certain group. You might have missed that part. Maybe not; or maybe you just wanted to go off because certain truths are hard to swallow.

You accuse The Sicatoka of taking "shots" but then you back up his point that NDSU is actually doing 2-1's and how those can be counted toward attendance for DI-A football?

You have to love how the Gopher fans get to hear about UND again even during football now. Just think of how many gopher fans would have attended if they were playing one of their biggest rivals (along with cheap/free tickets thanks to the Iowa 2-1 deal).

Don't listen to the NDSU fan. We all know that is was no surprise that UND beat UNI and that UND might still be an average NCC team. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry181552

....and the Sioux were able to host numerous home playoff games. Not this year regardless of their record. Talk about a good time to start your exploritory year.

I agree. I don't think any of the fans would have blamed them for going for it: win or lose, especially on the road.

oh great reinjured.

The Play II??

I agree and thought of that too.

here here!!!

Seems like whenever the Sioux are losing they play better offensively (play calling? execution?).

sorry for the jinx

I love the play of Manke. Hits people in stride on the numbers.

You are missing the point again. Your coach is the biggest hypocrite in college hockey.

Omaha by 14.

Because of the opportunities and academic reputation not seen in Fargo (see below). Therefore their residents look elsewhere for an education and then move back home. I would know.

Hey now. Don't go telling Bison fans this. They actually believe geography was the reason. When in reality it was many more factors of which geography had little to do with. The Big Sky stretches from CA to MT. They don't care that much about geography. We are not talking about the former NCC here where most of the schools are within three states.

Why would the Heraldo publish a piece that reports things as facts when they are far from it? The editorial stated that UND had officially said they would never move to Division I without a conference (invite). Which has never been said. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry169093 Heres your answer: UND is continuing to develop the Bronson Property and that will soon bring in $1 Million/year to the university, which will only increase in the future. Guarantee money from football games Increased student fees Increased Alumni contributions / Endowment (didn't UND just receive a large donation?) Frozen Four money not currently available as a D2 member among other sources. No need to worry about us.

.......or when we (almost) lose a game because of it?

Chadron St over Montana St. UND over UNI
