10% JBB, I don't think that they are being "greedy" . And why should the Sioux Nation have any "cut"?

Has anyone else noticed the new logo is on just about every thing you can think of? Can someone tell me if UND takes 4% off the top for every item sold with the logo? IMHO, I do not think it is to much. I just bought my new white NIKE hockey jersey so I am set.

Jim, You forgot SCSU

Penny pincher Wanless? The man who robbed most the money from the hockey budget to "balance" the rest of the sports.?(Ask Blaiser how he liked the Alaska flights home) Why should Wanless care. He hates UND after Ralph got rid of him! I really doubt that the Commish from the Big Sky is going to say anything that we have not all ready heard or is that herd.?

I am w/ you Jim the NCC as a whole should move up.(or the six major teams)UND,NDSU,SD,SDSU,UNO and ? Now Duluth is in the NCC? What do you say to Duluth if the NCC does move? Are they going to be refunded the $50,000 they spent to join? Or does the NCC become a new league the NCCA or NAC. I think we should move to the D1 level. I think we should have a blue print of what Maine and NDSU do and learn from their mistakes. The reason I picked Maine(hockey) and NDSU the (Jone's factor). IMHO, UND is doing things to prepare.Wellness center the Old Ralph for B-Ball and the push for 14,000 students in the next couple of years. I think UND is putting all the ducks in a row. And speaking of Ducks.. Ducks (D1)41- Portland St. (D1aa) 0 Quack!

Sounds like they don't mind being a prostitute. I agree however who likes to play SCSU? I believe they still don't offer the scholarships the rest of the NCC does.

How can you be sure this is a Sioux fan?After all a good Sioux fan knows that we have only 7 D1 National Championships.

jbb, We could take you more serious if you used upper case letters. I noticed fargo and ndsu are always upper case but Grand Forks and UND are not why is that? Bisonguy I won't mention pro players from D1 hockey that make the pro teams compared to D2 football ratio that make the pro league.

I will hate myself in the morning but I agree w/SDSU fan.

I want to go D1aa,I want to go D1aa. I sure wouldn't want to be at work outs this week! Would you rather be UNO? Mesa State. Bring em' on! And in other news in the football world, Oregon squeeks by the B-dogs! QUACK!

UND41-Cent Wash17 And for our Bison fans: NDSU34-Wino-St.0

Bisonguy, Your man Gene was on Mac Talk today in Forks, He said on the air NDSU would NOT be able to compete with UND in hockey. If you don't believe me I think they play back the best of Mac Talk on Sat. if they are not running the radio auction.1590am I think NDSU can remove hockey from the table.WCHA said no, CHA maybe but now that the Slippery 16 is on the horizon. The less teams the leagues have, the better the chance to field a team from your division. I wish we could drop UAA now that they broke the deal on paying us to play them! How did this become a hockey thread?

Noone has told me how Minnesota can bid the regionals (hockey), yet never have the budget to travel. What is wrong with this picture? Back to football. I checked the teams that Maine F-ball play this year I don't think I would brag if I were a Maine fan. UND and NDSU would beat up those cream puffs. Bisonguy, You would have us call the arena's, Grand Forks Dome and the Sioux Sports Arena? I like the Al &Ralph much better than Mary's-Oochie where the Rodents play. Or how about Montana. The Jungle?Are they not named after a Grizzly Bear?I would think The Wilderness.

So how many seats do we need for F-ball? Looks like they are buying a new B-ball floor. Maybe Grand Forks is thinking D1.

I like them I see the same folks who make the hockey jersey now make them for the football team. Did you see they put a little Sioux logo on the front? I bet for the good people at SCSU..

The bizonguys true colors are showing. Oh that so hurts are feeling when you talk about OUR Sugar Daddy. As for the AA bs, at least UND doesn't count the Tech school in East Grand for their figures. Unlike some school in Fargo.

How quickly Bison fans forget that the only reason the school is moving to D-IAA is because they couldn't convince the taxpayers of Fargo to fund a D-I hockey team. This is another glory-grabbing opportunity for NDSU's president to make "big improvements" on his watch. Fortunately for him, changing divisions didn't require a vote of the people like building a hockey arena did. Is there any doubt that if NDSU were starting up a $2m D-I hockey program this year that they would not even be considering this jump?

What will Eddie do? Didn't he have a special stick made by them?

diggerD, I am w/you Hockey-Fball,B-Ball,all other sports are tied for fourth. I was not happy w/ Roger tonight he state's NDSU has to do what they have to do ect. And with in 10 minutes time is saying how SCSU,Minn-Mankato,UNO ect do not desire to move up. Umm Roger I don't give a Rip about said schools. If the NCC is to move up I believe we need 6 teams. UND,NDSU,USD,SDSU, talk UNC to stay and maybe Northern Iowa to jump ship. I still stick with my prior post: We always seem to worry about the selection folks to decide where and when we should play. In past years we were rewarded w/ games against teams who cheated in (football) and were never punished!! Real fair. Roger you can forgive but I can't! Imagine if we would have been beaten by Wino-state last year in football! How sad that would have been.We pay out all those Scholarships to be beat by some little school?Yikes! As much as I like being a big fish in the small pond. How fair is for the kids to play teams like Crookston every week under a new NCC w/o the USD,SDSU,NDSU's?

Ahhh the good old days...If you play that old fight seen at a slow speed you can almost see Alex crying Mommmmmy.

Didn't here to much from the round ballers. 13 yrs before you can even play in a National.Note to NDSU first you have to win in your own Division. On the flip side how many more times can I watch UND beat up on the Crookstons? I paid how much to sit on the 50 yard line and you want me to continue?And now the talk is fill the NCC with Duluth? Are they not in the same league as Crookston? How can you gain anything when your 4th line can even beat them?Roger, Dale please tell me there are better things to come. I t seems we don't want to play teams that might beat us in NC play because at the end of the year the selection folks look at just w's and L's. And heavens forbid we would lose to a team like Grand Valley State.( a team I never heard of until last year) Maybe D1aa isn't so bad. I think old Phil said it best: We welcome NDSU to Div1 sports we have 7 National Titles..

Quinnipiac is 25th right now.And are Maac champions! (I know the % rating will change by Sunday.) In this same ratings % index the Sioux are 20th! Can anyone say toast?Bye bye maac thanks for playing and taking a spot from a team that might have put up a fight. Boy do we need a Slippery 16!

Ok, can anyone tell me why the leadership in the WCHA have no balls? I watched the UM-SCSU Final Five game. In the first period Doug& Frank talked about UM for 17 of the 20 minutes and then after a break they said they didn't mean it to sound that they were pro UM because they said they do have viewers in St. Cloud watching their SCSU team.Really Frank? You mean there are more teams at the FF5 other than UM? Is it time for the WCHA and FoxN to agree on a game of the week? Who pays whom to broadcast UM games? I bet the WCHA could offer a better package. The CCHA does a great job w/ there regional sports on Fox.Why can't FoxN? I couldn't believe they didn't do the DU-CC game instead they chose to run some other show.The WCHA needs to step up.IMHO. Go DU!

What ever do you mean? Now let's get down to the good stuff should FIGHTING be allowed in the WCHA like the other leagues.? What I think: DU-no(to much a gentleman) CC-yes(Owens -USHL) UAA-yes (did anyone else notice this team?) MTU-yes (Serti) MSU-M-no(Jutting likes to play dirty and get away with it) UMinn-no(see Jutting above) UMD-yes(Deano Jr.) UND-YES(see "don'' and jutting) SCSU-yes(same as UND) UW-no(new coach)can be switched if Sour has a say. Not very scientific but close.
