The key is consistency. What I've noticed watching the ac in their transition into mvfc play and now UND in the BSC is that the margin for error each week is small. There has to be a consistently high level of play because as we have seen, even the Sac St & UNCs of the world have playmakers that will hurt you if you are taking a play off. UND can look "elite" at times, but many teams can do that. Weber did that with Poly last week, and UNC did with the Griz for a bit. What makes the top of the BSC different is how they are able to maintain a high level of execution more often than not.
This stretch of games is an opportunity for UND to show the BSC what they really are...good or bad.
This is a good point and is true for any of the "major" conferences. Bottom-dweller SIU almost tripped up the Bison last year, and MSU did beat the Bison in 2010. There is really no weeks off for any of the elite conferences.

What kind of stadium does Sioux Falls have anyway?
Howard Wood Field. It used to be Augustana's home field. Alot of high school games there now I think.

... only to rear its head when the Legislature starts back in session. Why?
- the move to tougher the voter fraud laws from A misdemeanors to C felonies
- the move to re-write and clarify the laws about how signature gatherers can be paid
- and "Carlson's Cadre" will surely use this in their quest to undermine the powers of the ND SBoHE
Book it. Bank it.
The only thing that could possibly directly affect NDSU is #3, and I don't really care. NDSU has been, in some shape or form, the whipping boy of the North Dakota legislature since statehood. There will be a bunch of political grandstanding and hand-wringing, and at the end of the day all of the universities will be funded similar to what they were in the last legislative session and the BoHE will still be around.

It may or may not be brought up in large numbers (I'm not quite sure how you define this), but you can be sure that it will be brought up by multiple committees in Bismarck next spring, and it will be brought up in at least some of the other ways I listed. You and other NDSU faithful are really fooling yourselves if you believe that this is just going to go away. There is a reason that the media has gotten so much mileage out of the issue, because a lot of non-NDSU football fans are not happy about this situation.
Yeah, I worded that poorly. My original response to Darell was in regards to him saying every Bison win from here on out would be laced with mention of this case. No it won't. We might hear a little about it on Sunday after Youngstown just because Ojuri was suspended, but it's not like we're going to see headlines in the Forum "Bison win over Missouri St. in spite of 10 players found guilty of class A misdemeanor. This will go away faster than anybody on Siouxsports thinks.
-
It will be brought up by the media on more than 1 occasion throughout the season. The election coming up will be a chance for people to discuss it because of the 2 measures that will not be on the ballot. It will be discussed heavily during the legislative session as they discuss 1) increasing the penalty for this particular crime to a felony and 2) when the legislature tries to take over more control of higher education again this time. Any other crimes committed by NDSU football players, or possibly other NDSU athletes, will bring up this case. If they decide to move against the companies that hired the players, the case will be discussed. This thing isn't even close to over for NDSU, it was just on a short break until the next chapter.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I honestly don't think this will be brought up again in large numbers.
-
Get your head out of the clouds. Its being talked about all over the state, and at major media outlets as well. If this was the only place it was being discussed I don't think NDSU would have held a press conference to appease the social media at the university of North Dakota.
Get a fricken clue.....
Oh, I imagine local media will be talking about it a little bit tomorrow and maybe even later in the week. But after the Youngstown game it will be pretty much over. Even this thread had almost died until the court appearance this week.
-
You keep telling yourself that. It wasn't being talked about because everyone knew the court hearing was today. But if something isn't done, it will continue to be brought up throughout the rest of the year. The drones at Bville won't talk about it, because they have already tried to prevent all mention of the incident. But a lot of other people will continue to discuss it until at least the end of the year, and possibly until the next NDSU football player incident.
I will keep telling myself that because it's the truth. The only place it will be talked about is on this forum.
-
If they get suspended it will die down not only on here but through social media and throughout the web, but if they don't the !@#$ storm will rage on until after NDSU's trip to Frisco. Every win with those players will be noted somewhere in an aricle, a radioshow, or on sites like Facebook.
No it won't. Until the "breaking" news of today, nobody was talking about it after the Bison win at UNI.
-
This poll doesn't have anything to do with the post-season does it? I'm under the impression that the Sports Network rankings are all that matter. If I'm wrong please correct me.
The selection uses the GPI (Gridiron Power Index) in it's selection, although it is not the only determining factor. The GPI uses the FCS coaches' poll and the sports network poll, as well as 7 computer rankings.
-
late comment, but a guy on bisonville showed that remedial rates for both schools are higher than reported, and roughly equivalent. NDSU has on average higher entrance scores by a trivial amount.
Good luck recruiting grad students in science and engineering without tuition wavers.
This new chairman guy comes across as a moron.I don't think anybody has talked about completely eliminating tuition waivers. It's mainly undergraduate tuition waivers the chancellor is concerned about, and I believe he wants to cap undergrad tuition waivers at 5% of the total tuition dollars a university brings in.

How long has NDSU been a 4-year University
Also, NDSU is located on the border of a certain state which provides around half of its enrollment. Think Minnesotans want to go to school in Bismarck?? One drive to Bismarck would cure them of that.Ummm, since 1890.

Like Sprig said, you'd still need to hook a computer to the TV for Big Sky TV regardless of whether it is a Smart TV or not. You can buy a computer that is designed to hook to a big screen TV, that IMO would give you alot more options than a Smart TV, unless you are really into streaming YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. The one I have is an Acer Revo. Very compact and does a good job for me. Can be a bit pricey, but to me, it was a better option than carrying my laptop around and all the cords for it to hook up whenever a game was going to be on and then have to unhook everything again. It'll also play bluray discs and dvds. I have used the apps on my samsung bluray player to download movies from Amazon like Sprig said, it has everything my Smart TV has, which I've never really used.
Do you have experience with Google TV or Apple TV? From my understanding, it gives you the capability of using an actual web browser and is less cumbersome than hooking a laptop up to your TV, but the reviews for Google TV have been less than stellar.

Weren't Reggie Morelli and Ralph Engelstad really good friends. That's why I always thought Morelli's had the exclusive contract for the Ralph. They also have the exclusive contract for the state fair.
-
UND didn't change it's name to remove the word Agriculture, trying to hide the true mission of the school. If that's not ashamed, I'm not sure what is. Just sayin'
But that was the problem, AC didn't reflect the true mission of the school. Agriculture is just a part of the mission of land grant universities.
-
Utah Valley has double the enrollment that either North Dakota or NDSU has.
Just sayin'..............
How many students does the University of Phoenix? Something like 100,000?
-
I have no idea whether either is considered a true dI prospect, but I'm curious who is considered to be the better college prospect between Mac Kroeplin and Jake Hagler?
I can't believe how there's been virtually no talk of Jake Hagler and his prospects of playing DI basketball. It seems guys like Joe Hanstad and Austin Dufault were talked about constantly.
-
only about 90 teams actually participate in playoff-eligible conferences (swac, ivy, pioneer do not) even among those schools, a large portion don't take it seriously. My thought has been the playing for a title is a privilege, not a right. going 4-4 in conference and beating 3 scrubs you paid to come to your home field shouldn't get you in the playoffs. For that matter, I think you should have to win your conference to win a national title. I'd like to see it go back to 12, or better yet, 8.
The Pioneer will probably receive an auto bid with the expansion.

I have 7 hours and 45 minutes in the pool...
Did you take the over or under, and does this post count? Maybe we could talk about splitting the winnings?
-
The local and state leaders need to start pushing for funds to build overpasses on some of the major intersections along US 2. Unfortunately, I have a feeling you are right and we will see nothing but stop lights continue to go up.
It seems like there's a traffic fatality/day in northwestern ND. I wouldn't let my wife drive on highway 2 between Minot and Williston right now.
-
In another 10 years, Highway 2 between Minot and Williston may be the key economic and political corridor in the state. Not just Williston and Minot will see growth, but a number of smaller towns like Stanley, Tioga, Berthold may become the size of Wahpeton. Hard to imagine that just five or six years ago, NW ND was practically an economic basket case.
The reign of Imperial Cass may be over after the 2020 redistricting.

I'm just hoping local and state leaders have a plan to handle the increased traffic and population. And putting stoplights up and down Highway 2 does not constitute a plan.
-
There's speculation that Berthold (population ~500) may see up to 2300 new homes in the next five years or so. It sounds like there's a developer proposing 900 homes very soon in what people are calling "phase 1".
-
The Montana game reminded me a lot of the NDSU/Montana State playoff game, Griz pushed both their lines around all day and McGhee looked rattled. It was a good day to be a Griz fan.
Road is going to be pretty tough for MSU now, if they win their first game they would have to play at Sam Houston State and then probably at Missoula...not quite the #1 schedule they were looking at last week.
NDSU looked to have a pretty decent draw, they should cruise to the semis.
Sounds like the kiss of death.
-
If the playoffs would have started after the UNI game, I would have really liked NDSU's chances, but we just haven't played well the last two weeks. That being said, maybe the bye week is what the Bison need and we can get on a roll.

The gasification plant at Beulah produces ammonia, not sure about urea though. It would seemingly be an opportunity for some company to step up.
If nothing else, portable gas turbines that can provide local electricity needs or plug into the grid would seem possible. The Bakken region has to import massive amounts of electricity as it is now.
This London newspaper had a more in-depth story:
London Mail: Mystery American 'city' caught on stunning time-lapse video from space revealed to be massive Midwest oil field
http://www.dailymail...ideo-space.html
No urea at Beulah, just anhydrous and ammonium sulfate. The negative about Beulah is that the fertilizers they produce are byproducts, so they don't/won't ramp up production. A dedicated facility just to produce nitrogen fertilizer in the Northern Great Plains would be a great opportunity for somebody, IMO.
