One of my co-workers and I were just discussing watching wrestling when we were young kids. I still remember the day when I was about 6 when I learned from older wiser cousin that it was all fake. I didn't want to believe it, but when he showed me what was "really" going on, I had to accept it. Do you remember names like Verne Gagne, Haystack Calhoun, Dr. X?? Verne Gagne was one of my favorites. Enjoy....Lee Henning vs Verne Gagne

I live in the South, where Division I football is everywhere. Most folks call it Division I and I-AA. They don't call it FBS and FCS. No spite involved. I would venture to say that most people nationally don't call it FBS/FCS. It's just the way it is.

I hadn't seen this posted yet.... Brainerd coach

I hope you're right. It would be nice to have another burner.

I give up. You win. You are going to keep this thread alive with troll food. Therefore, I'm going to lead the charge for UND to drop down to NAIA and eventually eliminate all sports at UND with my ulitimate goal to abolish sports on the planet.

A group of schools come together and sign a pact with a promise to abide by the pact for three years, the teams for these schools schedule each other in a number of sports, a won/loss system is put in place to keep up with which teams are doing the best and worst, at the end of the season a game or a series of games is held to determine which school had the best team in each sport, rules and procedures are put in place, a group of people in Chicago (the same folks as the Summit) oversee the operations of this group of schools and to assist in compliance with NCAA rules. This all sounds eerily similar to a conference.

Just poking around over at The BoardsRoom and found this. Nice list of celebrities coming.

What difference does it make to you what the GF Herald calls it? If it isn't a true conference in your mind, why is it bothering you? To those 'SU fans that are saying the GWC is the "same thing we had", why did UVU, NJIT and UTPA all hold press conferences claiming that they were in a new conference and how wonderful it is? This article claims that UTPA had been without a conference for 10 years. Did they not view their prior arrangement with NDSU as a conference? UVU views this as a big step according to this piece. Did they just not understand that they had the same thing with NDSU? As I've said before this is step 1 for UND and a probably a necessary step.

Six months ago I felt like UND had a unique opportunity with a new president and a new AD coming on board. I know that it is early to judge them, bu thus far I'm pleased with choices by both of the selection committees that chose Kelley and Faison. UND's membership into the Great West Conference is just one step along the way. Nice job guys. Not a bad first 10 days for President Kelley.

DakotaDan enumerates the reasoning very well. With the moratorium in place for three more years, the possible conference invites may be limited. At this point the GWC makes sense. If an opportunity does arise, UND may have to pony up with exit fees. I think some of the Bison fans were hopeful and predicting that UND would be in "independent hell" for quite some time. Check out Bisonville. I think someone peed in their Cheerios.

Kelly, Brooks agree to terms Do newspaper writers check facts anymore?

No Joke: NJIT joining Great West Conference Enjoy.

In totally unrelated news, both the GF Herald and Fargo Forum's website's are down.

Just in time for the lifting of the Moratorium.

I like it.

No and won't for some time, if ever. UND will be eligible for an at-large bid in 2012, I believe. But to get an at-large bid you would almost have to be in a power conference. This is Step 1 of the reclassification.

One of my favorite movies of all times. From the news release that Sica posted... I think we have a common theme here. This is big for the student athletes.

UND set to join new conference

Your first statement answers the question at the end. How many people watch an entire soccer match?

You're lucky that you live in EGF, or else MplsBison would give you the "whatfors" for having a kid interested in a non-sanctioned HS sport.

Obviously I hit a clinker with this topic or maybe it was my "artwork".
