Jacks dancing. fu might get an NIT bid...solid RPI. Saul runs a good program...need to rinse off now...

There's plenty of hockey to be played everyone relax.

I'm allowing myself to dream a bit here and get way ahead of things...but a Big Sky championship would certainly land UND in Dayton for a winnable First Four matchup.

If UND were to get to the Big Sky championship...I would say that would be the biggest game in the history of the program. Thoughts?

I know it's a while ago, but isn't Fargodome pretty much like a home game anyway?

Move the hockey games to Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon and game 3 on Monday nite if necessary.

In the case of certain athletic directors, egos and chips on shoulders outweigh logic.

Heavy speculation now that Creighton will join right away in 2013 as the tenth member.

I think there will be contraction of programs long, long before any expansion.

Their folks must be so proud.

For a school where the FB series will not be renewed in the forseeable future, and the other sports are a total shitshow...you sure seem to be very interested in the goings-on here.

Same-zees

With the four team playoff and subjective selection coming...the other power leagues will follow don't ya think?

The women's hockey coach being the second highest paid coach on campus is indefensible IMO. It's mind boggling to me. What's the upside, an extra 50 fans per game?

They wouldn't even need to sit a year, right?

You had it right earlier today, it's all about the Catholic 7 on this one

It will be a different MVC...no Creighton no Bradley no Drake no Evansville...more like the football conference which isn't so bad.

I hear the Northern Sun might be looking at expansion opportunities again...for an academic peer.

...says the pretend UND fan

I wouldn't worry about them too much. Per usual, they're about three-quarters of a bubble off plumb.

Oh...it's not going to...

Creighton is as good as gone and it will cause a domino with the other three MVC privates. You then have Oakland and the Indiana directionals leave for other pastures...then a merger of what's left of the Summit and MVC. Omaha joins MVC non-football and there you have it...not sure about Denver U. If Big Sky, then UND might be on an island but would slide nicely into the new MVC or stay in the Sky.

Thank Alverez. Lucia pushed to keep the WCHA together as I recall?

Teammakers run that chess game, GT is a mere pawn.

I don't get this "mutual respect" crap. Let's just scrap Alabama-Auburn, Michigan-Ohio State, Arizona-Arizona State, USC-UCLA the list goes on and on by that logic. As for toxicity, I remember it flowing same as the Red...northbound, with the tone at the top being set by the lunatic Hager.
