Concerned about 1 position? No way. With a more productive qb we'd be 8-1 at least. You're comparing your schedule to ours which doesn't compare. We'll see who has problems next year, remember your graduating 19 seniors which are most of your productive players and have a much better schedule.

mid-level conference? How's it feel to be the new SUU of the Great West Confterence??

How's that DI move working out? I'm sure it will be easier next year!!!

No one has tanked in the fb playoffs more than you guys! The only fans I ever heard talking big were you guys saying FCS was no big deal. Remember 8>1

You sure it's 750K? I highly doubt it. I know some teams in FCS have been offered games with Hawaii that just covered their expenses and they turned it down. It's hard to fly out to Hawaii and not make any cash for a FBS game. It will be interesting to see what the real pay out is. But good pickup anyway.

Why would that information be on a portable device(laptop) in the first place?

Thanks - this conference (MV) is very competitive. The next 2 games will tell the story.

SIU only had 41 yards of O (2nd half) until the last drive in the 4th quarter. I think that was the deal breaker. I think the penalties evened out for the halves as far as stopping or helping any one team.

They should do fine against a bad BSC team.

I doubt they are - They had you scheduled at one time but the commissioner canceled it.

This would be a good game for you to pick up. One that you would be favored. Just looking at their record and they have trouble beating the lowest FCS teams. They must be a BB school.

Davis better play well to win - no way that USD scores 24 on UNI, but I hope they do.

Don't let facts get in your way Oxbow - You can play with the numbers all you want - it's still apples and oranges - Oh by the way that mower - I'd take his balance sheet over yours any day.

How do you square as Hansel has said that the ACT scores and GPA's for incoming freshmen at NDSU and UND are identical? If true then it comes down to what I said before - UND offers some very restrictive fields like "physical therapy" that get a ton of applications but only has room for a limited number. Like I said apples and oranges.

It's all apples and oranges anyway - It all depends on what kind of academic fields the university offers. Some are more restrictive than others for a variety of reasons. Like I said before if it includes the law and medical school then the statistic is meaningless. Don't you find this statistic more interesting anyway? North Dakota State University in Fargo was the university of choice for 17.5 percent of the students, while 13.8 percent named the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Bismarck State, the next highest, was listed first by 9.6 percent of test-takers. http://www.jamestownsun.com/ap/index...w&id=D92HK2202

Someone having a bad day?

This is what was reported in the Jamestown Sun - the link is no longer any good. The ACT college entrance exam for the high school class of 2008 shows 24 percent of the 6,113 North Dakota test-takers met the college-readiness benchmark score in all four areas: English, math, reading and science. That compared with 22 percent nationally. North Dakota State University in Fargo was the university of choice for 17.5 percent of the students, while 13.8 percent named the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Bismarck State, the next highest, was listed first by 9.6 percent of test-takers. http://www.jamestownsun.com/ap/index...w&id=D92HK2202

I don't care - I've never said one way or the other. It seems everyone at ss.com thinks it's not a problem.

Does it include the law and medical school. If it does then the statistic is meaningless as I'm sure they have different admission standards and alot of students wanting to get into law or medical schools.

Name calling again? Just reported this week - Incoming ND HS student preference for college - NDSU 17% - UND 13%

Actually all it says is NDSU attracts a better quality HS student from the start.

You think gettting into a conference is a slam dunk? Hell we were lucky that the stars were lined up. Teams have to leave conferences for other teams to join. You'll need that luck also to get into a conference. (specially fb)

Reading comprehension must not have been a requirement at UND. No where did I say you wouldn't get into a conference. Reread the post.

Another Bill Clinton moment?

When you start getting home games with DI schools (good ones) you'll quickly see a tremendous difference in the quality of athlete and coaching over DII. I think VB was one of the sports where there was a large difference between DI and DII.
