Haven't there been college games played at Arrowhead in the past? The name of the stadium alone should send the NCAA into a tizzie.

I heard yesterday that the NCAA may go to a 128 team basketball tourney. What would that do for an auto-bid? Would this be the time to start a new Division I NCC with the thought that the conference "could" get an auto-bid if put together prior to a change to 128 teams? More on the 128 team tourney. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13538918

I agree with Wyo. DI in Fargo. If you don't care, why are you here. This is Siouxsports.com.

Thanks for the info. I'll be tuning in.

I think a museum is a great idea. I would visit it when in GF. The classes that I had in Indian Studies at UND were very informative.

Men's and Women's and swimming and diving would be my choice to move up first. Since the Big Sky does not include it anyway, why not find a home at the Horizon or Mid Continent. Not all of the Horizon member have S&D teams, so they may be open to new members and UND has been competing with some of these teams in recent years anyway.

I think that IPFW is a lock. Douple's recent comments and commitment to the Great West lead me to believe that he is pushing hard for NDSU and SDSU, but he doesn't get to vote. He needs to convince the presidents. I still voted that all three get in. I wouldn't be suprised to see NDSU try to put in an escape clause in the event that something else transpires in the next year.

And why did NDSU move when they did?? Could it be that the Sioux have been kicking their butts for the last 10+ years, coupled with a very successful hockey program and beautiful new venues? NDSU was fine being in Division II when they were winning in football, because that is their top sport. When your top sport is losing to your rival, who has that GREAT hockey team to boot, that hurts and you had to do somthing. Hence the move to Division I I remember reading a comment by Bohl in the past year, where he was saying that NDSU football was going to surpass UND hockey in popularity. Wishful thinking on his part, but he admitted that UND hockey is more popular than NDSU football. With all of UND sports going Division I, you just got trumped.

More blogs on the topic of Kupchella's letter to NCAA. http://mysandmen.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-...kos-ncaapc.html http://www.thatedeguy.com/archives/2006/06...-tongue-lashing http://lesenfantterrible.blogspot.com/2006...fight-back.html Kupchella may develop a cult following after his letter.

I remember something similar to that painted on the east wall inside Hyslop (at the time called the Fieldhouse). Was it painted over the glass block that used to be in there?

Sorry for the "command" and embarassment. I probably should have put a on the message. *Man sitting tall in the saddle* My work is done here. I will move on.

Thanks.

First. I didn't yell. I'm typicall not the yelling type. Avatars are supposed to follow the following protocols: This is under the heading of "My Controls". I don't think this is policed and I'm not trying to police it either, I just noticed with all of the other things open on my desktop this morning (Oultlook, Excel, Word, AutoCAD, ...) that the page I was looking at took an unusual amount of time to load. I looked and saw your avatar slooowwwwllllly loading. I right clicked on the avatar and saw how large the file was. If you right click on another Sioux logo from someone elses avatar you can see how large the file is and where you can link to it. Some of them are being linked to UND sites, which is the easiest. Once again, not trying to be a pain.

Siouxjoy do something about that avatar. WOW is that a big file for a tiny little picture.

The 15% in the poll who thought it was a stupid idea were probably not Sioux fans anyway, so the numbers may have been higher. As always though, online polls are easily skewed. I do like the idea.

I've always enjoyed reading George Will. The man has a way with putting his thoughts into written word that make you understand and ponder at the same time. A vey thoughtful writer. It also helps that I usually agree with him.

The only thing that I can think is that the AD didn't want to get locked into contracts for next year with an impending move to D-I. I'm sure that it is hard to get home games this year with no return for next year. As for Metro owing us one, I'm not up on that. I'd have to leave that to someone more knowledgeble about past schedules and contracts.

The new schedule has been posted. With the possible exception of Northern State, the non-conference games don't look to be big draws attendance-wise. http://www.fightingsioux.com/files/1060.pdf

I love the ending.

Upon reading the full text of the letter to the NCAA, it has become obvious that someone in the president's office reads siouxsports.com. Some of the arguments and comparisons have been posted here in the past.
