star2city, With the board of higher ed in Joe's back pocket.....
I found this posters comment interesting. And I agree this should go for all schools in ND!!!!!
.
Do you have a link so that we ignorant Sioux fans could read where you found your information?
I see "force" as a large word and would like a little more validity of your statement please.
Or maybe you should try using IMHO a little more.
In your own words D1, Are all UND fans the same?? By your comments IMHO you feel we are.
tsk tsk..
By typing "some" does not excuse you this time. Seems you are "trolling" pretty well.
Will this help or hurt UND which doesn't seem to mind playing teams outside the WCHA.
I say hurt since we like to travel to get schools to play at the REA.
New RPI
I would love to see Holy Cross come back to play at the REA but they I am sure HC would
like a home and away game.
This could hurt UND if HC was in a slump year and we are playing in their barn. When maybe we could
be playing UNO or Maine.
IMHO, the NCAA might have helped the east coast out by this new index of RPI and did nothing for the teams of the west. Or am I not reading that the NCAA is all knowing??
Maybe a radical idea or a "tweak" would be RPI = mileage + %. This would help teams want to travel more
to gain RPI.
Think about this:
UAA and UAF travel alot but, maybe they wouldn't mind traveling to Alabama if they new there could be huge RPI % based on travel/mileage. (The respective leagues would really have to work so that teams are not playing away two weeks in a row after a long away game. )
Or if UNH traveled to the west beat a team from the west and boosted their RPI because of travel. Pushed past someone in their own league to capture a post season spot based on RPI mileage %!!
You need some type of reward mileage so that UMD or UM doesn't have the Beavers on their schedule
just for RPI every year.
Told you it was radical. Remember just a fan on a board with an idea and concern.
This years Force of the North media guide states, 12,283 seats. Largest crowd was 13,500 Oct 6, 2001. Opponent NDSU. (IMHO, probably included standing room)
Just a little FYI
Funny they should pick the Home of the "Devils" for their "talk" about nicknames.....
Home of the Devils
Azsioux, which jersey are you going to wear?
I agree.
The NCAA either is ok for "all" or "none".
You can not have a middle ground on this issue any longer IMHO after reading this article.
Watch the NCAA come out and say, " Universities have the right to self govern" And steer clear.
PCM, Are you on UND's legal team??
A very good article thanks for posting it!!!
Ahhhhh so this is what it feels like to beat a D1aa Super Power #3 ranked!!
Was not the number #1 ranked team but I am ok with #3.
Ask any old Bison fan when they beat Montana how they felt and that's how I feel today!!!!
UND and NDSU really have built the bridge between D2 and D1aa!!
