A mature response.

How about Myles Brand!

Your joking right?

Excess dome tax monies have to be used for the dome period. The dome has already expanded twice since it was build and this wouldn't be any different. IF the money is there and approved by the dome & city comm. the addition may be build. This new addition would give the dome an intermediate venue for smaller events and thus more event days. It gives NDSU a new bb arena that they will be paying 1/3 or more for. If the stars all line up it would be a win-win situation for both.

You forgot the best part, NDSU has nowhere to go but up and UND, well starting a DI independent schedule it will be down for a few years.

You forget that if a new venue is built next to the dome it will have a huge impact on bb attendance.

We'll see how the Sioux do when they have a full DI independence schedule.

It's the AG's office that decides on what to appeal. Apparently they think they have a case.

The AG's office determines whether to keep fighting the suit.

I don't have time to bring up all the lawsuits that the state has had to defend UND against.

The only reason you have a problem with Chapman is because of his leadership in expanding NDSU's prominence and you and UND feel threatened. Billing out the AG's lawyers at 56.00 per hour is a joke and everyone knows it.

Tim Brewster will be announced as the new FB coach for the Gophers at 1:00 pm. He's the former Tight End Coach for Denver.

Gee Davey NDSU isn't even eligible for any DI NC yet. By the way I love your posts on AGS, you're endearing UND to DI fb real well. Keep up the good work!

sticks and stones.... Tell me why all the interest now in playing NDSU when it didn't bother you back in 2004,5,6? Was UND being petty back in 2004?

Sure it's fine to bury the hatchet now that UND will need games. No, you made your bed now sleep in it. NDSU is doing great without UND, we'll see if same can be said for UND.

Valley City & Mayville were 2 schools that have ties to NDSU and scheduled us during our transition period. Besides fb why didn't UND schedule NDSU in anything during that period? Why should we help you with your transition? There's no upside to NDSU except in bb. attendance and that's only 2 games. Our fb attendance is close to selling out (over 16,000) and if we get into the gateway will be real close to selling out. Have fun!! PS: Don't you have USD as a partner or do you?

Yes that happened! We even had some money left over from last year so we gave to Nielson to help USD with the DI move.

So McFooly is NDSU? The article has to do with the school they picked to join the BSC. Great choice! As far as being arrogant well sultan we could argue that all day.

Yea I'm sure McFooly has the inside story on BSC expansion.

If USD was on such good terms with NDSU then why didn't they play us in ANY events in 2004/5?

They were as supportive as UND was.

The last talk I had with an official at NDSU, he said that at the NCC meetings when NDSU & SDSU proposed the conference move up Mr. Abbott from USD was very rude to both presidents and AD's. So unless he has repaired the damage (which I doubt) from NDSUs viewpoint I don't think they want anything to do with USD.

I agree 100% - actually fear is driving all this speculation. Fear of knowing that both schools (UND & USD) have come to the DI move late and all the conferences are full. Unless the Mid-Con loses some more members I highly doubt that they expand. With NDSU & SDSU being invited to the Gateway Conference spring meetings Feb 19 it looks good for their invite to the Gateway.

The article is pure speculation and Douple has watched how USD and UND responded to NDSU and SDSU move to DI. He wasn't very impressed with both schools. Douple is a stand up guy and a good friend of Gene Taylor, I doubt that he was meeting in secret with USD.

star2city always thinks that anyone that agrees with him means his theories are right.
