Bison Dan

The Bison have had better over all sports programs than the sue for years. You pick fb which you have had good success in the last few years as making your point? When you move up, you move up in ALL sports, and the sue are surely lacking in some of their other sports (even for dii).

Bailed out of dii because it's going down hill, just like UND will do eventually.

Jealousy is a funny thing, it makes people say stupid things.

Oh have you been by the Tech park lately. The foundation is in and steel is going up. You need to take the blinders off sometime sicatoka!

Drove by the other day and didn't see any work being done. They have been breaking for over a year now - what's up? Are they going to do it and just talk?

I think that this year there will be a 3.00 charge for parking.

Not a obsession just a fact. Actually Bison FB is the biggest whether dii or DI-AA.

It will be interesting to see what your responses will be when UND jumps to full DI without a conference!!

That could have been for anything - coaches teaching, etc. - just because you can't find any line item for it in UND's budget doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I don't think UND would let NDSU get by with getting those funds and not get their fair share. How long will the womens hockey team get the waivers?

The move to start the womens hockey team is already costing the state money because of the tuition waivers used.

What did UND pay for crookston? Same quality team.

That's the quality of dii now. UND has played moorhead plenty of times and when NDSU was playing moorhead UND was playing crookston. I was at the game and what do you do when you play all your guys? I'm glad they were pissed - maybe they would start to field a tolerable team but they went down hill from there. Funny how UND fans only remember the moorhead game and not all the other quality teams NDSU has brought in over the last 20 years.

Just look at this years schedule in bb and tell me it will get better!

I think it all depends on the school. It's like the diiis moving to dii, how many will be powerhouses in dii? Very few. Same thing for dii moving to DI. Everyone knows this and these studies provide very little information that's not already known. Each school has their own strenghts and weakness for the move and how they handle their weaknesses in the move will tell how successful they will be.

There are dii schools sprouting all around gf - so geography shouldn't be an obstacle. The fact is NDSU sees dii in decline (quality wise) and UND doesn't. As far as scholarship reductions in dii, it's just a matter of time. NDSU is taking a proactive stance and moved to DI and UND is waiting to see what happens. I don't think either position is wrong it's just a difference in what they think is best for their own schools.

Gee you must think that the defenses in the ncc are no better than the competition that Bismarck State plays.

This isn't smack - but doesn't anyone (sue fans) wonder about the quality of people that applied for & are being interviewed for the AD job at UND. One diii and one dii guy and no DI assistant AD's. Is the word out that Bollinger has the job or what? Something doesn't smell right. You would think that there would be a great list of applicants.

I hope Kelsey's knee will be okay! I hate to see that type of injury.
