NDSU grad

I believe at a minimum Langdon Area would consist of at least parts of the following school districts: Alsen, Milton, Osnabrock, Hannah, and Wales.

While mindlessly browsing the internet came across these games on youtube that documents Edmore's run to the state championship game in 1982. Some of the players mentioned in previous posts are playing in these games. First link is vs. Munich in Region 3 championship game. The next three are the state tournament games vs. Anamoose, McVille, and Divide County, in that order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1bS9J22hVw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6dleWDIV-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42DP6K8MdwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKbB4uDo4i0

I have no idea if there is a formal agreement between those conferences and ESPN3 to air games, but a quick look shows 7 of 16 NDSU conference basketball games on ESPN3 and all but 2 of the regular season conference football games. All the football playoff games and the Summit League tournament were on ESPN3. It would be awesome to get more content online, especially now that I joined the technology age and got a Roku.

Not a Division 1 player. Fun as hell to watch in high school though. Hear he might go to BSC and play baseball and basketball.

I know the 93 team was arguably the best in school history and had a very good chance of winning it all, but I believe the 94 team still made the postseason and had Chris Gardner, Todd Johnson, and Travis Tuttle on it.

There won't be single game tickets available in the first 15 rows. You'll have to find somebody willing to give up season tickets. I'm thinking it would take $200-300/ticket, possibly more.

That's an interesting link. Why the huge drop from 93 to 94? If I remember right, you guys still had a very good team in 94 even though you lost Guldseth and Jacobson from the year before, right? It looks like other than that huge drop in one year, attendance has been relatively stable as long as you guys fielded good teams.

It's expensive and time-consuming. My 5 year old is just in an initiation program in Minot, but I have friends whose kids are in the pee-wee level. They're travelling overnight 10-12 weekends a season during USA Hockey season. One friend has his kid on a summer team and they're playing about 6 tournaments from May thru August; all out of town. They're also practicing ~ 3 times a week and playing tournaments/games in Minot pretty much every weekend they're not travelling.

He's a good basketball player, but not DI caliber.

Tigers. Played in what was literally a Quonset attached to the school. So narrow the three point line didn't extend to the baseline. I think Tolley last had team in 86, Donnybrook in 87, Lansford in 90, and Carpio in 91 (know that one for sure). I think Sherwood survived until the late 90's/early 2000's.

Combined with Mohall to form the MLS Mavericks. Carpio, Donnybrook, and Tolley dissolved.

Interestingly, with the exception of Deering, there is still a high school in every one of those towns. Granville is part of TGU, though, and does not field it's own sports teams. My old district, 24, is down to 3 teams: Mohall, Kenmare, and Glenburn, out of the original 8.

That list must include club teams, because bowling is not an NCAA sanctioned sport at NDSU.

The only NDSU program suffering right now is women's basketball, and that's a stretch calling it a major sport.

So does the American back fill to stay with 11 or add 3 to go 12? I presume they go after C-USA schools, but looking at that list of schools it doesn't look very attractive.

That makes sense. Their tier 1 contracts are ABC and Fox, correct? So I would presume this would be a case where market is the number one priority for expansion. I would think Cincy is a shoe-in. Who's the 12th?

$62 million in total athletic department revenue, or just from football?

Interesting. So that would be ticket sales, advertising, and revenue generated from potential TV viewers? Crap, does Iowa State fit that criterion?

Condensed version. ONE poster said NDSU could make a strong case due to sports offered, geographic footprint, and academics, but the state of ND would have to get behind NDSU big time and that would never happen. Another poster asked him if he was serious and he said no, that basically his point was that even if a conference like the Big 12 was interested it would take a gigantic investment from the state for it to happen and that's impossible. My main point was that there is not anybody on Bisonville claiming NDSU has a shot at Big 12 membership. Nobody. Zero, Zilch, Zamboni.

Nobody on Bisonville thinks the Big XII is a possibility. The one guy who talking hypothetically about it even admitted he wasn't serious.

He's actually been exactly the opposite of that in my dealings with him. Always has time to talk, and is very pleasant. And believe me, I am far from being a big deal.

When I originally posted that I was thinking a 10-2 regular season with a semi-final or national championship game appearance. At this point I hope I under-estimated the win total. I didn't really watch many of your games this year, but from the sounds of things you guys were what I thought you'd be. Some good wins, 'good' losses, some wtf moments, and overall a marked improvement from the last few years.

But do all Big Sky venues have the capability to showcase a game the way ESPN wants it to be viewed, i.e. HD cameras, multiple camera angles, etc.? I'm guessing ESPN will bring their own crew and equipment to Washington-Grizzly Stadium next year, so the investment will be the same as if they were going anywhere else.

Idaho State has two DII wins. They're out. Montana's out if they lose, both Montana and MSU are probably in if the Griz win. Northern Arizona has some terrible losses this year. It will be interesting to see what the committee does if it comes down to a 4 loss Valley team or NAU.

Home field is determined by the higher seed for the 8 seeded teams. For the rest of the field, you are correct, home field is determined by the highest bid.
