Good job! Gotta represent!

*IF*? That's funny...

I agree with you about the MWC potentially losing Boise..possibly even San Diego State. I can see New Mexico State joining the MWC and possibly the Montanas and Idaho/Portland State. (They would want Montana and be forced to take Montana State as part of the deal.) I don't see any North Dakota options. The next two years are going to be critical to the survival of the MWC and strong FCS programs. When, not if, the Power 5 starts paying players, allowing players to transfer one time without penalty, get agents before graduation, etc, is going to turn the divide between them and the lower FBS schools from a creek to the Mississippi River. Here in Fort Collins, CSU is desperately trying to get a 40,000+ on campus stadium initiative to happen, in an obvious attempt to join a Power 5 conference. If it happens, they have a slim chance. If it doesn't, they have no chance. Bottom line, if you want to hang with the big dogs, it's going to take big $$$. All the wins in the world over FBS opponents does not matter if you won't cough up the dough. To buy in to the next level has a lot to do with changing the mindset of the University, the alumni, and the community.

Google Yahoo (Fantasy Football...which I will lose again this year..) Siouxsports Wyonation Wikipedia bigbutts.com (oops...that slipped out!)

I need to get my bro to go to the VD store to get a UND Sports calendar. Flipped it to September and...nada! They still got 'em there?

' Exactly!

That IS a good zinger! I think it's really because he related to country hicks so well, so it worked for him in Fargo. Wait..now he's at Wyoming! I guess I'm a country hick at heart...

Damn straight!

Who is the straw that stirs the SS drink?

I'm pretty sure that IS a picture of the FU campus...

I don't mind them as much now. But, seeing all these different color plates in Colorado must be confusing for the police. At least IMHO.

Good move getting into the Rocky Mt. Athletic Conference too. Plus, good win over BHSU last year. Them Engeners are on a roll! (I grew up in Rapid...)

Oregon 62 USD 13... 49 pts? The spread was 52? They beat the spread!

I look forward to a BBQ tomorrow.

I think of how Bill McCartney with the Colorado Buffaloes would circle the Nebraska game as "The Game" for his team when he arrived. Everyone thought he was nuts. But, it worked.

If they win a fourth straight, their administration should seriously consider a move up. I hate to agree with a third class felon who cried like a little girl in a courtroom in Jamestown, but they should prepare for a move up.

I'm still thinking that FBS minus the Power 5 is going to be a whole different animal in a few short years. I'm not saying UND, FU, SDSU, USD should necessarily make the jump, but it may turn out to be a smaller jump than before. I can see each Power 5 conference going to 16 teams, cherry picking schools like Boise State, San Diego State, etc., with a big buy in...maybe up to 10 million each. Maybe even more. Then, the remnants of the FBS will scrape together what they have and form a new subdivision. Maybe, just maybe, the BSC could be a part of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah....a whole conference can't move up according to the rules...now. That could change, and change quickly. I would like to say, "Let's see what shakes out". But, I think that UND and other FCS schools in a better position (I don't care about the win/loss thing, UND is a flagship school with resources to do this...) should prepare for a potential move. I think Fullerton is the right guy for the job with the BSC right now.

Go 'Yotes! (That is the kiss of death...)

I agree. That's one of the reasons we do not need any delay with the construction of the IPF.

West stands...I wouldn't head over to the east side. frostbite was a guarantee there... It was only a possibility on the west side!

Phil Knight will make sure they cover the spread!

It's kind of like at old Memorial Stadium in Grand Forks. Attendance (minus the FU game) is good in September up to Mid October..then things get colder and shaky...

Ah, white guys in war paint. I'm sure glad the NCAA can demonstrate their cultural sensitivity on national TV!

Darrell, announced attendance in Laramie was just over 25,000...pre-lightning storm.
