i got nothing on nhl center ice...not even listed

men lost to Minot State 78-72....OUCH?...at home...not good

as of this week the NCC vs NSIC....NCC Leads 19Wins, 17 Losses.......Bemidji just Hammered U.South Dakota.101-80 .... 2 of the last couple of teams to make it to the elite Eight from our region were from the NSIC....? You Tell me...?

You obivously have trouble reading and understanding....I Said we would all like to be more successful, Even Rich Glas, and His Players...Name me the last NCC Mens Team to Win a National Title , You talk of tho they are Easily Available...? Regional Participation is HARDLY Run the Program into The Ground, However...

This is all after Gully,Vonesh Dropped into his Lap??? 1993-1994...Chris Gardner,Mike Bergman,Steve McAndrew....NCC 3rd Place..regional Semis If you care to check...We also were co-NCC Champs in 1994-95 Season,Played in the regional Tourney with The Like of Todd Johnson,Dave Rettker,Burke Barlow... Then again in 1999-2000.. We made thge regional Tournamnet again with the Like of Kyle Behrens,Hunter Reinke,Marcus Travis,Chad Mustard...Actually this Team made the Regional Semis and Got Beat By the National CHAMPS.Metro State...I was at That Game 2001-2002 .. A great year on the Edge of a regional Bid...Lost in the Conference Tournamnet Finals.. 2002-2003...Beasley year ..One and Done (We got futher in 93-94 and 99-00 Then with Jerome)..But in the Regional Tourney To say he has run the program into the Ground is ABSURD....Please do your homework before making STUPID STATEMENTS.... Would we all like to be more successful sure....But lets not just judge these young men only on the Basketball Court.....I wonder what James Barid is doing right Now?...They are student 1st...BBAll players 2nd.... Th NSIC and Some of the DAC 10 Schools have almost become equal in Mens BBALL over the last 5-7 Years...We can Not expect that we will or Should Dominate...As a few Gaps did in the Early years....

I think you need to to do a little history check....?

i stand corrected...thank you

73-46 final...ouch

45-24 with 14 min left in 2nd half...

sioux down 34-19 at the half....at metro..they have won 44 straight at home....

i do not think u can do that....only one in each is allowed..and we are there..

Im sorry guys like I've said before we take this LEAP...we will not be adding only dropping..?

Understand ..but I do not think revenue sharing from the Frozen Four will be enough to balance a Div 1 budget.... We need Funds? and If the BIG MONEY is in the NCAA Final Four..and the BCS two of which I believe we will never get a consistent chance at...? BCS Never beacuse of 1AA I believe the share with Conference Affiliation 1st and Particapants 2nd....

Im not sure what point I was trying to make once I got all that Info...But Thanks.. I guess it boils down to the Most Prestigous of Sports at the Div1 Level is The NCAA B-Ball tourney unless you can get into the BCS Championships-(NOT) There are more schools Chasing that dream then ever...and Continue to do so....Div1 Institutions do not like to share revenues....Case in Point---We GET NOTHING, for a 7 time National Champion Hockey Program?... I personally do not feel The UND,Community,School,Coaches,Programs can compete at satisfactory success level to ...Be in Div 1.. Recruiting the right Athletes Balancing the Budget Support of Fans and Alumni are the 3 of the main reasons...

hey UND92,96...can u help me out on this.... How Many DIV 1aa....FOOTBALL teams? How Many Div 1..Football? How many Div2....Football teams? How many Div 1 Hockey Teams? And maybe about how many Div 1 Mens , Womens Bball? I could look it up.. but I'm sure you may already know? Thanks in advance

Call it what you want.... We will not be playing in the rosebowl anytime soon?

Couple of other things to keep in mind.... Big Sky is a Dream...Do not think it will happen in our lifetime...They have made a commitment to stay west, and Besides that Remember...DIV1 Institutions "DO NOT WANT US"...why share revenues with anymore schools then you have too? Bincitysioux- Do we have the Pateince for any losing seasons.....All I ever hear at the Bar, is why we dont win now?...There are Boosters that thought this year in FB was a under acheving season....Last year half way thru the hockey season..very few were supporting "our Hockey Coach of the Year",they were calling for his head?....Womens Volleyball finally made a regional 2 years ago,1st time in forever and now ,we want a new Coach?....Our Mens BBall is not as bad as the fans make it out to be, Our head coach will break most of Gunthers(Considered a LEGEND) Records this year, and people have wanted him gone for the last 5 years?..... I just hope we have the Patience and Financial Support of Boosters,Community,Alumni,while we struggle with transition...Because we will..Everyone Does... I too also visited with Rick Hartzel at UNI...While up at Mac's Game last year with Iowa State in Cedar Falls...and What "Siouxmenow" says is 100% correct....Hartzel... is in my opinion in the top 50 ad's in the country...I beleive he knows of what he Speaks....

Another example would be Northern Iowa...Moved to Div / Div 1AA..in around 1978... This was there 1st year they made it to the Natl Champ game in football... There BBAll teams went around 14-15 years inbetween conference titles..Mac got them there last 2 years...Lost in 1st Round on both I believe they have had some success in other sports as far as conference titles...few and far between... However...NO NATIONAL TITLES...in anything Just starting however to draw better crowds and attention the last couple of years...Alot of Patience? Its a tough Choice...Missouri Valley Conference...is a middle of road Div 1 B-Ball Conference...Lower for all other sports...

My Feeling is Yes and No.....In my Mind Div 1AA...is totally seperate...They Can Not compete with the True Div1...Like Michigan,Colorado,Texas,Notre Dame.... Anyway its all ones opinions....There are really only 25 Schools every year that have a true shot at a Division 1 Championship...in all sports Same way propably in Division II.... Instead of being a Force in The Regional and National Div II level..... When we move my feeling are we will just be Mediocre at best .500 will be a good year at the overall Div1 level But yes we will probably be able to compete for a Div1AA --Football title in time

yes football will have a chance in time..shorter then we probably think.....I did not include football because it will be 1AA....Not div 1....sorry..my fault

Just My Thoughts.... If and When we make the LEAP!....We will not be adding sports my friends..... Only Cutting for fiscial Responsibility.....Div 1 is Not CHEAP? Last Time I checked we have not been able to run in the Black in Athletics as we are? And That is with a 125 Million Dollar Donated Facility.....

i may have posted this in wrong spot ....? I have said more than once I believe it would be a mistake for UND to leap into the Div 1 Arena....That being said... * If we go we must have a conference...To try and recreate the Old NCC would be most Logical...A conference of rival instituations that Travel up and Down off the I-29 Corridor.. For cost,efficency,and Rival reasons... * Do we Have the Funding... For the Non- Conference Scheduling Road Trips? * Will the fans have the Patience it will take to become successful...I have lived in GF for around 25 years in that time..Hockey,Football,Mens and Womens Basketball in over 100 seasons have had less the 10-15 of them below .500?...And our fans are still not happy all the time? * Make no Mistake..Hockey will be our only National Championship oppurtunities * We will be able to compete for Conference titles..but in all other sports NO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS! A great season for us will be (After the Probation Period of 7-10 yrs) a 1st round Sacraficial Lamb in the big dance or tourney.. *I like the thought of the challenge to play better quailty oppontents, and Home Attendance should take care of itself... ..We will need the money , to help defray the addiontional costs.. * We need to make a decision this being on the fence , will eventually hurt all our recrcuitung... * I feel it was a HUGE OVERSIGHT! The last committee assigned did not Include the most Knowledgeable Person we have on our Staff......ROB BOLLINGER.....He understands the Past,Present, and Future Fundraising that it will take to Make or not Make this move... Just a few of my thoughts?
