Yeah Alphagriz their idea of a good poster is someone that agrees with their thoughts and if you disagree you're a troll. Like you asking why they're playing a transitioning NAIA team to DII? You were called a troll right away. Go figure....
When a fan of an established FCS team who has played a D2 the last 3 years comes on a board and starts questioning why a team that is just through the transition is playing the same game, it is going to get some comments. Sorry you don't agree on that one Dan.

Its a lot more difficult to write a check to a competitor than it is to write a check to the REA. If anyone thinks CableOne is going to do what is best for their customers I think you are mistaken. What other option do people in Fargo have if they do not want a dish hanging off their house? As a CableOne customer I sent an e-mail to them a week ago asking about the availabliltiy of watching games on TV and have still recieved no response. I wasn't expecting the minutes of the last meeting but a "negotiations are still in progress" would have worked. There are many people in Fargo that will gladly let Midco punch holes in their yard to get another option for a cable provider and this is a classic reason why. I'm not so quick to put all the blame on Midco.

Yes it did, but SUU wasn't a playoff team. It would be nice to have a real grass practice field but by no means is it necessary.
Has anyone seen the information on phase one and phase to for the IPF? On WDAZ news at 6:00, they mentioned they were still a couple of million $$ away from have the money necessary to start phase one. Of course, it's WDAZ so I don't know how accurate that is.
Phase 1 is $13.8 million. If we do not have the funds we are very close. I'm almost certain there was more money there than what was announced today. Faison stated on KFGO today that they were waiting on approval and may tear down the old Ralph soon. Second phase of the project was $6 million.

I'm all for wearing the blacks. Its a new good look for the program.

This is outstanding news. This facility will be top notch for the area and huge for recruiting.
-
I don't want to get my hopes up again but seeing that, hearing Muss's comments during his online interview and reading all these tweets about big news while knowing we were fairly close to finally having the funds to proceed with this project. This would be an absolutely huge announcement to kick off the 2012 season.
-
Jason just tweeted again that "this isn't your average Wednesday." Something is going on today. Let's hope it builds more excitement for tomorrow.

They produce more than ND.
I agree with Dan on this one. I'm not saying we have to have a roster full of them. I'm just suprised we only have one.
-
I'm suprised we only have one South Dakota player on the roster. That state has been good to us in the past. Hopefully we can change that going forward and readd a neighboring state to our recruiting grounds.
-
I'm guessing if the man or woman wanted to be known, he or she wouldn't be an annonomous donor. I don't think you beat that one to much and I know Muss isn't going to say any more about it. Just be thankful the money is there.

NMSU is saying merger talks with the Big Sky are not dead yet. Star2City (siouxfan) where are you?
Aggie football isn't only sport affected by conference shuffle Saturday Aug 25
Great find. Interesting article. Obviously something is going on there.

If the 120 teams in FBS football are going to split, then approx 60 will need to be at a different scholarship level than the other 60 schools. Please explain how that is going to happen? The top conferences in FBS football have tried to push the lower conferences out by basically doing everything possible to exclude them from the championship and taking the money, yet the bottom conferences remain at 85 scholarships and remain in FBS football. Fact is, the top conferences need the lower ones so they can get wins. Truth is, I don't see it ever splitting . . . tell me how it logically happens?
I don't know how it logically happens either but I also don't think the BCS conferences started talking about a 96 team NCAA basketball tournament to get more teams in from the Big Sky or the Summit. Do you? That tells me that they are getting tired of splitting the money their teams earn. If the Big10, Pac12, Big12, ACC and SEC start pushing hard enough, who do you think the NCAA sides with? BCS conferences or nonBCS? I don't know how it is ever going to happen but it won't shock me when it does.
-
Sorry, but BCS is not a level of football in DI, it is a playoff championship. Some FBS conferences have auto bids to BCS games, thus some people say that some schools are BCS schools, but they should be careful in doing so. Any school in FBS football can play in a BCS game. So does that make them BCS too? The people that throw BCS around like it is a level of football . . . simply don't know what the hell they are talking about. That is the only way to explain it!
Yes, it's hard for a team in the MWC, MAC, SB, or CUSA to play in a BCS game, but it's not impossible. It usually takes a top 10 ranking. The biggest problem with FBS football is that the smaller conferences have no automatic avenue to a playoff like FCS has. This needs to be corrected as I have stated over and over.
So what the poster was saying was the split will be BCS, than you'll have remaining FBS and FCS. At least that is how I took it. Him responding to how to further split football.

I like the Big Sky Logo. Looks great. Can't wait until Thursday.

Even a one and done is an incredible experience for a school from a smaller conference in the BB tournament. Why would anyone in their right mind want to change the current setup, especially someone from a small DI school?
I suppose you wish you could pay higher taxes, work 80 hours a week for the same pay, play in a 20 team DI hockey conf with DI's only, and you'd like to see ND goto 6 tiers in high school basketball. Am I getting warm?
The smaller schools aren't going to be the ones making the decisions. The Big10, Big12, SEC and Pac12 don't care about hurting the feelings of the Summit and Big Sky. Will it happen, no one can say for certain either way. Like SiouxGuy said, its all about $$$.
-
The money generated by a TV contract of top tier schools would easily support the Kentucky's and Iowa St.'s of the division. I cannot imagine what a TV playoff contract would be worth along with new television deals if they did not include Texas vs. Sisters of the Poor and Alabama vs. School of the Blind.
Also, I do not see it a stretch for those larger schools to break away so they can keep the NCAA basketball money. As much as people like seeing George Mason make a run to the final four they would still rather have a Final Four of Duke, Syracuse, Ohio St. and North Carolina vs. UConn Butler, Virginia Common Wealth, Michigan St.

I think there is real possibility for the marketing dept. to do some heavy marketing for some of the Big Sky opponents. Obviously the Montana schools have some familiarity but No. Colorado and Southern Utah will bring in good teams and are familiar to the area. And letting everyone know about Weber St. and the history they have is a great opportunity. The reason I love the Big Sky for our teams is the common opponents across all sports. Continuing to draw fans to see some of these teams vs. our volleyball and football teams can only help our men's and women's basketball teams. It will be a big change for what we had in the Great West.

Congrats ladies. Great day overall. Its going to be an exciting volleyball season.

over/under 3.5 home games in all black this year for the team
over/under 2:1 win ratio in the all blacks this y
I'll take the over for the tight all black uni's this year. I think next year we get new green and whites and the black's become our new home uni.
I'll take over. We win SDSoM, Portland St., Cal Poly, Northern Arizona and lose Southern Utah. Montana is a toss up.

Dorsett's jersey is a perfect fit, as are his shoulder pads. Peterson's jersey is not the right size, it is too small for him. That is a fact, not just my biased opinion. I could care less what the trend is. Only losers who try way too hard to fit in follow trends.
That Dave is what is called an opinion. Actually, yes it is your biased opinion.

you really didn't make an argument here. Online education will always be a second-rate alternative for a few people with no good options, and provide degrees of dubious merit, while simultaneously missing the most important part of many degree programs, which is the networking.
Sometimes things happen in life that do not allow people to obtain a college degree. An online program is not a second-rate alternative to them. Its the way of the current world. As the seperation widens between classes in this world everyone has to find a way that fits their life styles to stay ahead. One of those ways is getting a degree from an accredited institution of higher learning and not everyone can take 4 to 5 years off in life to do this. There is more to networking than partying on a college campus but without the signed piece of paper you are unable to open many doors.

Not only is Dorsett's jersey too big but his shoulder pads are too big. Right now tight jersey's are the trend. The old baggy uniforms are about as "in" as the old above the thigh NBA shorts.

Faison has done a great job for UND and this is welled deserved. I think we take for granted that he took over a department that was a complete mess by the previous AD and has turned it completely around UND is in spots that seperate us from the other Dakota schools. The guys has positioned UND very well in the short time he has been here.

I'm with vince97-01. If he can truely help the team, than pull his redshirt. However, if they do pull it he better see the field on a regular basis. One of the most frusrating things for me this fall has been hearing of Jer putting on needed weight without losing his speed or agility and realizing we traded what would have been his best year (5th year) for limited action last year. I'm excited to see Galloday and don't doubt he could get in the rotation but from all accounts it sounds like this kid could be something we haven't had at UND if we let him put some weight on.

Here is hoping to some big plays in the first half tonight. I'm expecting us to lose some students at halftime but as someone mentioned earlier, if we play an entertaining brand of football, they will be back when a better opponent comes to town (i.e- next week). I don't want to see a replay of last season running the ball every down vs. Drake. Get up big at half and have the outcome be what the fans are expecting. Big plays on offense, big hits on defense. That is my expectation for tonight.
