Great game so far! 0-0 8 min. to go in 1st. Go oilers!!!!

A no brainer?!?!?!? Have you done any research? And, "they alone shouldn't have to change their name yet other universities do?" That is so wrong. None of the universities (that I know of) on the list should have to change their names. No one should be offended by UND's nickname.

Same here.

Hey Smoggy! We both answered the same question at about the same time. How about that.

If I am not mistaken it is because the ref(s) in question were "grandfathered in" from the days when they were not required to where helmets.

I like it. I have never seen it before (never used to visit this website).

No its not you (unless its me too). UND does seem to get mentioned quite a bit. The only other college brought up last night was SCSU, that I noticed.

I sure hope so too. And yea, I want Tim Hennessy too.

I am just curious. If "jimdahl" is member number three and the "administrator" is member number two who is member number "one"? Thanks.

So if we are going to make the move, when is it going to be announced? After all of that hype things seem to have gotten very quiet. You would think a D-1 move would be anounced before the Mid-Con meeting, though.

Yep. Rhubarb is great. We have some rhubarb bars in the fridge right now.

Thanks for all the info on conferences and such, star2city.

I was at the Georgia Dome for a conference last fall. From what I could tell they had left the turf down and had covered it with plywood and a tarp kind of thing. Because if you looked around the curtain blocking off the end of the field not being used, you could see the turf. And also, in corners you could see the green coming out from under the covering.

Any one have pictures of the new banners/or just of the inside of the Al? I have never been there so any pics would be nice to see. Thanks.

I will miss the input. You bring a lot of good stuff to the table... Well have fun on the vacation.

If, and its a big "if," Mayville State was to close its doors or even just cut back or eliminate its athetics Minot State would have to move up to D2; I would think anyways. The Minot State president just anounced that they were not going to move up but I bet things would change in a hury if the DAC fell to seven teams.

Thanks for the reassurance and also for the information about the "dough" we are missing out on. I was curious about that stuff.

Darn right! Lets makes this work. I have been kind of leery of a D1 move thinking it could hurt the hockey team but when you think about it would the U really want to hurt its biggest asset?

I am with ya "The Sicatoka." UND should take a serious look at Lacrosse. Lacrosse is ripe for college expansion. The public is supportive, not only based on attendance but this too Lacrosse has a nice schedule length, too; Navy had seven home games in this year's regular season. That is more games than football but not as many as hockey and b-ball. Man, I can't hardly find anything on conference locations, footprints, and etc. But I imagine if UND picked it up there would be considerable travel costs. But on the other hand they could be at the fore-front of mid-western lacrosse, which could translate into national championships down the road.

I think lacrosse would be a nice sport to have at UND. And it looks like if we added it now we could get a jump on the rest of the schools in this part of the country. Travel costs are higher but you have better recruitment. From the attendance numbers at the National Tournament it looks like there is some interest too. Maybe lacrosse is the next revenue generating sport.

Thanks.

I am looking forward to it It would be great if we could beat them the first time we play them in football again. But I digress.

If ForumComm and/or Leighton got the contract would people outside of the Valley still be able to get radio broadcasts? We would still have the internet but radio would sure be nice. Here in central NoDak it is kinda nice to know that pretty much every Fri and Sat (when there is a game) 1390AM (Clear Chanel) has Sioux hockey on.

It would be sweet to be able to watch hockey on broadcast TV out of Minot. The last game on KMCY-TV that I know of was the inagural game at the new Ralph between UND and UofM.
