  1. In 2018, the Big Sky had 4 teams: Montana State 7-4, EWU 9-2, UC Davis 9-2, and Weber State 9-2 (left out: Idaho State and Montana had 6-5 records). In 2017, the Big Sky had 3 teams: Weber State 9-2, NAU, 7-4, and SUU 9-2 (left out: EWU and Sac St. had 7-4 records). In 2016, the Big Sky had 4 teams: Cal Poly 7-4, Weber State 7-4, UND 9-2, and EWU 10-1 (left out: SUU, Northern Colorado, and Montana had 6-5 records). Since UND is essentially a Big Sky school, in 2019 they will be behind these teams: Montana, Weber State, Sacramento State (DII win), and Montana State.

    IMO The million dollar question is this: Is the Big Sky the strongest FCS league in 2019? If yes, the committee takes a 5th Big Sky team (either UND or EWU (DII win)) If no, both the Hawks and the Eagles are left out.

    One poster previously mentioned Air Force Academy. Seems like a great idea for the Ralph if tickets swaths of tickets available for Minot AFB, Grand Forks AFB, and Cavalier AFS personnel. 

    If all of the Cavalier AFS personnel are at a basketball game who will watch the Russians?

    Not going to happen too many delta elite passengers that use GFK they didn’t switch to United the last time ua served Gfk. And we’d send out a plane with 40 empty seats unless a great west conference team flew in. 

    Very true, flew out of GFK on Sunday. Gate agent called for “Sky Priority” and 30 out of the 50 people boarded. 

    I think it’s also worth noting that Allegiant will not be flying Mesa -> GFK in September. I relied on that service to come home for a couple of football games. 

    Adding insult to injury with new Fargo flights, Swoop (WestJet subsidiary) is going to fly to Mesa and Orlando from Winnipeg this winter.

    The GFK leadership has momentous task this winter to prevent further leakage.

    Sewage ponds aren't the problem 35L can expand north the big problem is only 1 ILS. 

    I see, I thought the FAA had issues with the birds from the landfill and the ponds. my mistake

    When DigiKey started a Fargo distribution point, that was pretty telling.  DigiKey must be the largest shipper in the region, and FedEx probably works closely with them.  If DigiKey knew that FedEx was going to change their web and spoke system for the region, they would want to put it near the city that was the secondary spoke.

    Grand Forks has a lot of eggs in the Grand Sky UAS park.  Better hope they hatch.

    I am thinking this had something to do with it, FedEx started using A300's and with shipping demand going up they probably wanted to fly in bigger planes but unfortunately GFK can't handle them. And the geniuses that decided to wedge an airport between sewage ponds and Highway 2 60 years ago made it so they couldn't extend the runway.

    FAR Runway 18/36

    Dimensions:  9001 x 150 ft. / 2744 x 46 m

    GFK Runway 17R/35L

    Dimensions:

    Great to see John Scott get a rousing reception in Nashville at the Skills Competition tonight.   

    http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=800390&navid=nhl:topheads

    And a lump of coal to the Arizona Coyotes.   You just traded away a ton of free publicity ... in a market and team that lives in obscurity.   You had a chance to build some good will ... and stubbed your toe. 

    So you saying that AZ should have kept Scott for a weekend of publicity instead of acquiring players that can help them make a playoff push? From a business standpoint I'll take the free publicity and ticket revenue in the spring over this weekend. John Scott isn't going to sell tickets in Phoenix but a winning team will. 

    Just for your knowledge the sports report down here goes as follows 1. Cardinals 2. ASU football/basketball 3. Suns 4. DBacks 5. GCU basketball 6. Glendale Arena Drama 7. Spring Training 8. (If they have time) Coyotes 

    I am for Scott and it is a cool story but I don't think fans would have flocked to the box office to see John Scott sit in the press box at Gila River Arena after the all- star break

  8. Glendale bent over backwards for the Coyotes with that arena deal - a few years there and then they're gone.  What a fuster-cluck that organization is.  Bunch of carpet-baggers.

    not exactly, the city not once but twice stabbed the Coyotes in the back by backing out of the Arena deal. A contract was signed by both parties and then when the city realized they signed a deal they couldn't afford they backed out. Now, they are cancelling the Arena management deal. Ownership has tried numerous times to negotiate in good faith with city but in the end their hands are tied. To quote ownership, "we want to stay but how long can you keep talking to a wall?"

  9. I've tried all three browsers and all three are about 15 minutes behind real time.

    mine too I am sitting with 5:00 left in the third, I know its not the internet speed as I am on campus using their fiber

  10. Does anybody know if RT O'Sullivans in  Mesa AZ will be having a watch party?  I've heard they have UND hockey games on there, so am hoping they will have the football game on this weekend. 

    Just confirmed with RT O'Sullivans on Stapley* that they will be the UND establishment. Lisa at the UND Almuni Assoc. is sending some swag which I will bring.

    All UND fans in Phoenix are welcome!

    *Superstition Springs is the NDSU watch party so make sure you've got the right green.

  11. This is a college sports fan forum, so forgive me as I dip into the frivolous for a second. I just watched the walk out for Virginia Tech vs Ohio State. I hope we figure our walkout/hype video out. I personally have found it a little lack luster in the past. Man, that atmosphere looked sweet in Virginia tonight

    Do you and Pole Vault Guy have that bus/van ready yet?
