Night and Day difference. One thing you can't tell watching on TV is the speed of the game. Also the strength of the women today is better and it's a lot rougher inside.

I don't know about that (lowering the floor) but it's going to be a bowl with approx. 6,000 seats. New offices, weight room (next to old Dacotah field), 2 practice courts.

No addition on the Dome. From what I heard they're going to strip down the BSA to the steel and rebuild.

Haven't heard yet but I think the deal is done. Maybe waiting for some more pieces to fall into place. 2 year project with 2 phases.

Just wait 2 years it will all change. There will be an announcement coming soon.

I have to disagree - It would make their jobs easier because they wouldn't have to worry about the negatives that go along with the name. It's a PC world now and if you keep it, it will dog the university for as long as you have it. Both of them have no long standing love for the name like an alumnus would have. What UND alumus have to ask yourselves if the name is changed - where are my loyalties - am I a graduate of UND or Sioux?

NDSU is just saying they would like to get 6 home games every year. (perfect world) Gene is just doing what he thinks is best for the athletic dept money wise. If we lock into a series with UND every year it would prevent that. I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the contract we have with USD was proposed to UND first. Hard to get a contract done when the one party dealing from a lessor position wants to call the shots. Football pays our bills like hockey does yours so don't compare the two programs with the same goals (as far as scheduling). Shawn-O posted last fall that one UND FB game only drew 4,200 (NAIA game I think) Can you imagine what would happen if we only had 4,200 at a FB game or hockey only drew 4,200?

You must have missed the part where both Faison and Kelly requested the board drop the name..........

I'm sure you're praying everyday for that to happen.

The bb games have been a done deal for many months.

USD works just as well for us - bus trip - good home crowd.

Remember if the sun doesn't come up I'm sure it'd be Chapman's fault.

Yeah you're right - the lowly summit isn't good enough for all the Sioux sports. I think you should inform your AD and president to quit begging for membership. As far as playing FB every year I doubt that will happen until we're both in the same conference.

I wonder how many years it will take for all people watching any UND games on FCS to equal that ONE game back in March. Do you really think that anyone watches UND BB outside of Sioux fans (maybe) and if they do what do you think they think of it?

From what I heard abot McGill - SDSU wanted him to play defense and he wanted a chance to play offense.

Isn't it amazing what star thinks he knows? It's as if he was there on those recruiting visits. Did Miles also promise them they would play Kansas in the first round of the 09 NCAA BB tournament? If not he should have.

The only thing you could own is hot air. Again the "sports that matter" - Why don't you just cut out all the sports that don't matter?? Wouldn't that make more sense?

I love how you blame the NDBoHE for this - the only reason they're in it is because UND's admin asked them to be the fall guy. If the admin wanted to wait until Nov. the NDBoHE would let it.

I'll take that bet.

Good for you - you see we value more than a double of sports and actually do well in them.

Still classy - I see you post a lot at 1:40am or so it must be the time you get home from sweeping up at McDonalds everynight.

Bin you forgot to mention our wrestling team beat #4 ranked Boise State - our SB team is ranked #26 in the Nation - Track teams have a good change to win the conference again and have some members compete at Nationals.

Funny post coming from a fan of a school that has had how many AD's and presidents in the last few years??

Another classy post.
