  1. 2 minutes ago, The Sicatoka said:

    John Santiago was recruited by UND as a ______.
    Circumstance during fall camp during his freshman year had him move to ______. 

    I honestly don't know what he was recruited at but he is in my opinion one of the top 10 to 15 running backs in the nation why eve think about screwing with that I know JJ may be good but you know what you have in Santiago a flat out stud that would start dam near anywhere

  2. my question is to some people on here that want to move Santiago in my opinion you are crazy that kid is a all American talent and move him to the slot because of what you

    might get in JJ but with him and the other 2 running backs you have you can have a hell of a power running game I was up there this year for a 2 games and it was the first tome since muss was there and WOW what a difference and with adding JJ if he turns out to be a good player the rest of the big sky is in trouble.

  3. ok I am curious what you all think to a complete coaching overhaul I don't think just muss is your problem? seems like your d is lacking and offense seems one dimentional maybe I am wrong just asking

  4. HOnestly the bison sioux rivalry should of still gone on, because according to some of your coaches up north there is not a big difference between d2 and d1aa so i just dont understand why at the time ndsu proposed continuing the games UND said nononono seeing as everyone in the state could see that UND would be stung huge in the football budget being that they cant even sell out a playoff game.I hate to say it but the one person in the whole mess that made sense was gene'o roebuck.

    as for the last post who cares about budgets just play the dam games, i dont think either school wants to see where all the money comes from i think that there might be some fuzzy math on both ends.

  5. YOU KNOW what i am a big bison fan but have really noticed on this site that the sicatoka is really down on NDSU more than anyone else and i just would like to know why. It seems others on here are big sioux fans but have decent thinga to say about ndsu or dont say a lot at all and i know that on our site there is one guy the same way and to be honest he is a moron in his thinking. I am proud of ndsu and the way they have gone about things and wish UND would have gone to but it just did not happen, can UND and Grand forks support a full out d1 programs i dont know and thatis not a shot at UND its just ndsu has a bigger local base to draw from thats just as fact nor fluff there or bias just facts and if UND soes go i hope theya succeed and we can get that nickel back in play. have a nice day

  6. i HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO THIS ABOUT MONEY LOSS AND D1 HOCKEY BEING THAT I AM HEARING THAT A LOT ON HERE.NDSU AND UND WILL LOSE MONEY THIS YEAR AND UNDS WILL BE QUITE A BIT MOREBUT IT IS MOSTLY BECAUSE OF WOMENS HOCKEY AND THAT IS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS NDSU WILL NEVER HAVE D1 HOCKEY IS BECAUSE OF TITLE NINE AND WE HAVE ALL SEEN WHAT IT DID TO SOME UND MENS PROGRAMS AND NDSU DOES NOT WANT TO GO DOWN THAT ROUTE AGAIN.

  7. adding club hockey is very cheap compared to d1 hockey and ndsu always had club hockey up to about 4-5 yrs ago. so its not a big deal and if it leads to d1 hockey in like 20 yrs so be it if not who cares its just adding a sport nonscholarship and not really funded a whole lot.i just dont understand how adding club hockey being this has been in the plans for a while automatically means that ndsu is lookin at d1 hockey right away just because of the big sky not working out. i just dont understand?????? :angry:

  8. thats a great idea but if they would do this they should do it asap, i was listening and reading local and national sports stories and they have all sadi on the d2 issue is that there could be up to 20-30 schools trying to go d1aa if this scholarship redux happens.

  9. i just cant buy anything that the big sky big wigs are sayin i think there is alot more to this then just geography.my one and only question is how can they want to be the number 1 d1aa conference in football yet they have sac state and portland who for all purposes suck they dont draw anybody at all if i remember right there total combined per game attendence average was less the ndsu and unds. to me it would make sense to take (perfect world) unc, sdsu, ndsu and yes UND if they are willing to commit drop portland and sac state. for god sac sac state had under 700 fans avergae for there first bball games.

    tell me what you all think thank you

  10. So based on Ryan Bakken's data, NDSU budget changes from 2003-4 to 2004-5 are as follows:

    $7700 2004 expenses

    $6100 2003 Revenue base

    $-140 ticket sale decline

    $300 Teammakers increase

    $100 student fee increase

    $333 cornerstone campaign

    $-1007 k shortfall

    Based on that data, it looks like the Cornerstone Campaign has to kick in an extra $300k to make this year's budget.  The Cornerstone campaign may get more difficult each year, as most would rather give to a building campaign or an endowment, both of which are needed.

    What gets real interesting is 2009 or so, when the $9.5 mill budget must be met.  Liberally increasing ticket sales by $640,00 over this year and adding another $200 k for teammakers, adding in more corporate sponsorships, and the shortfall balloons to $1.5 mill annually.

    $9500 2009 expenses

    $6100 2003 Revenue base

    $ 500 ticket sale increase

    $ 500 Teammakers increase

    $ 150 student fee increase

    $ 150 BB guarantees

    $ 250 FB guarantee

    $ 150 NCAA money

    $ 200        Corporate sponsorship

    $-1500 k shortfall to be made up by annual Cornerstone campaign.

    How popular will it be when baseball gets dropped by NDSU and there is no college tenant for on-campus Newman Field?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    sorry where did you get these numbers from
  11. like i said earlier i talked to a ranking ndsu offical and he said with the way fund raising is going now to there surprise being that football the big fund raising source/sport is over that they should be able to cover the extra 1 millon dollars. :angry:???

  12. I have a question for sioux fans how can some of you say you are in a better financial postion then ndsu when according to the numbers from 03-mid04 you are 400,000 in the red and ndsu is 40,000 in the red. i am just wondering because i have heard that alot not so much on here but in talking to sioux fans face to face

  13. I have to admit i am a bison fan but i and a lot of other bison fans have no problem with your coaches and players in fact as coaches go lennon is great and no doubt would be a good d1aa football coach. What ndsu fans have the problem with is kupchella and thomas. they just dont seem like they know exactly what to do and the letter mr. kupchella sent and even you have to agree just sounded bad and not very smart, some of the fans seem to believe just because you have a great and yes i said great d1 hockey program will make you a bigger and better draw right out of the gate along with haveing a better grasp or be in a better postion to make the move yes you have some better facilitys but dont you think that you are pretty much in the same position ndsu was in.I hope to god we can both make this move proper and both make it.I loved the UND ndsu fb game it was rivaled by nothing and you can place blame on both sides for that.so i hope they make the right decision based on the facts not just hating to be behind the bison and i dont believe you are just in a divsion that suits you.

  14. as for national titles both schools are history, the presidents letter has the tone of i am sick and tired of being second to ndsu and even though we cant afford it we are going to risk it instead of keeping the same position were are in now, the letter sent to UND from th big sky is the same as the rest of the letters sent to universitys they are wondering about and as for ndsu being badly in the red i talked to a guy today in the know and he claims that ndsu should come out even if not ahead as long as the trend of donations continues.
