Bison Dan

You should be - the only reason that they went to Sturgis is because the SDSU president couldn't get out of the meetings there. Why didn't they go to UND, I understand that your AD invited them up but they declined. The Mid-Con is set with 10 teams so why would they take USD? If WKU leaves the Gateway, NDSU and SDSU have a good shot at an invite. They aren't going to consider a bunch of new DI schools that haven't even approached their exploratory year yet. The ncc is 3-4 years to late, but that's what happens when you make decisions when only looking at the short run.

How dare you treat us like we did to you. Don't you know that we're UND?

Your probably right, but the fact is your president did list those two conditions. The main difference I see between NDSU and UND moving up is that NDSU's president was 100% behind the move and pushed for it. I don't think UND's president has his heart in it for the move.

Small things for small people.

I don't see any where that Bison fans are hoping the sioux fail? That's your own paranoia talking. If you remember alot of sioux fans and some members of the legislature were asking about finances and how NDSU will fund the move. (with many of those saying we'd fail) At the time NDSU was even or in the black, so I don't think you can find it unreasonable that people want to now how UND is going to do it with 850,000 of red ink (if true) BEFORE the move.

Typical sioux logic on anyone bringing up bad news - shoot the messenger.

Elementary hell he learned that in his senior year at UND.

I wouldn't worry - it shouldn't take long to print that few tickets.

I'll stand by my statement that your starting rumors. How do you square the fact that some of the following posts are asking about the 10 year agreement and penalties?

This is not starting rumors? It was never stated that NDSU must make a 10 year commitment or anything about exit penalties. You guys are priceless!

Your wasting your time with this bunch. potts turns down 12 million and accepts 2 million. That's the leadership ND higher ed needs.

Poor old davek he's trying to reinvent history - what actions are you talking about? The only classless statements and actions that I know about have come from up north. I'd list them but you all know what I'm talking about.

I remember good old Bruce what he didn't know for sure he would make up. I remember back in 88 or 89 when UND's qb wasn't getting the job done in Bruces opinion and he mentioned on his radio show that rt should maybe try their # 2 qb to see what he can do. Well Bruce wasn't allowed at practice for the rest of the season. It about broke his heart.

We'll see who's desperate in a couple of years? There isn't any less travel expense for the BSC over the Mid-Con.

Are you referring to NDSU/MN or UND/uni?

You can't compete only with dii sports- you have to use the 7 DI NC. Yes for sure UND is more successful in Hockey than any of it's dii sports. 2002 Women's Indoor Track National Championship 2001 Wrestling Championships 2000 Wrestling Championships 1998 Wrestling Championships 1988 Wrestling Championships 1996 Women's Basketball National Championship 1995 Women's Basketball National Championship 1994 Women's Basketball National Championship 1993 Women's Basketball National Championship 1991 Women's Basketball National Championship 1990 NCAA Division II Football National Championship 1988 NCAA Division II Football National Championship 1986 NCAA Division II Football National Championship 1985 NCAA Division II Football National Championship 1983 NCAA Division II Football National Championship 1969 Camellia Bowl 1968 Pecan Bowl 1965 Pecan Bowl 1972 Men's Cross Country National Championship Meet These are just the championships - there are too numerous 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place national finishes to list here.

As a overall dii sport dept. NDSU was better than UND. ie all the nc in most of the dii sports and before leaving the NCC capturing the all NCC sports championship.

Whatever makes you happy sicatoka.

Did you really think that "how great we are report" would have any constructive details in it?

I would say it was 50-50 on Bison Fans - you seem to say it was ALL Bison fans? Yes in a perfect world the BSC would be a better fit, but it's not a perfect world.

Besides the 2 Montana schools the rest of the BSC doesn't hold any more interest than any team in the Mid-Con. I don't think the alumni base would give more one way or the other. If the GWFC is stable I don't see a real advantage of the BSC (besides the Montana schools). I'm trying to figure out why most of the UND fans scum the Mid-Con and say it's BSC or nothing. Believe me when the time comes you'll jump at any DI conference invite whether it's the Mid-Con or not.

Why in the world would you follow the ag college? I guess some schools lead and some follow!

If NDSU gets into the Mid-Con they will stay put. The BSC will not expand east to the Dakota's, too much traveling for the west coast teams (at lease in their eyes). If the Mid-Con stays stable - UND will be waiting for a long time for a conference. usd going DI, they don't have the facilities or money. They'll need some major monies for the upgrade. The reason Fullerton is spouting off is he knows that the BSC will never come east.
