You are the man with all the answers but none of the proof. You are so full of hot air, I'm tempted to put you on ignore, but I really do enjoy the humor. You do not speak for all of us, I'm not sure you speak for anyone, really. Quit thinking this is one big conspiracy and only you can prevent it from happening. Maybe you can at least answer this. Why is it no one else has these ''facts"?

You keep trotting out these "Facts" without proof, but what we should be looking at is "Reality". If something isn't done and done IMMEDIATELY, we won't be in the BSC. REALITY trumps alleged Facts.

Care to supply proof to all those "facts"? You just keep throwing out stuff with no proof and hope something hits the target. I suggest you go with the flow because the train isn't going to stop, especially at this late point in time.

I would think the University itself would also have standing to challenge the law. Letting the law go into effect in August and waiting for the special session in mid November is too late. The BSC will hang us out to dry long before then. I honestly am worried about the BSC deciding to give us the heave ho, and we won't have this chance again if they do.

Nokota's or Fighting Spirit. Both are unique and fit our guidelines. No name is not an option.

Just because it's there doesn't mean this administration in DC will let it be developed. They seem to be "anti" everything regarding energy technology.

Who cares??? Aren't most NDSU alums sheep ranchers in some desolate place like Wyoming? Leave em.

I suspect the problem was it was our turn to go to Vermillion and we needed a home game.

I really thought going to the BSC would put a stop to schedules like this. Playing lower schools doesn't bother me as much as losing to lower schools and we've done it. IMO nothing is gained by us playing down.

Last I heard, Moorhead was running a rather stiff deficit and was cutting programs to the bone. I rather doubt they can come up with the $15 million they are rumored to be needing to start a hockey program. The earlier reports I saw indicated this whole MSUM hockey thing was being pushed by the owners of the UP to try and make money for their arena. I see failure written all over it. Kinda like Bison athletics.

I would say that in a few years two things will be evident. First, things didn't turn out as good for the BTHC as the participants envisioned, and two, things didn't turn out as bad for the WCHA as some people envisioned. Good programs thrive on their own merits.

I think it will be a Good Knight tonight, so that's my pick.

Link doesn't do much good for those of us that don't subscribe. We only get two paragraphs and I think we all know that having a pool of oil helps immensely.

I'd say it's time to Pony up.

How much time is left? I presume it's still scoreless?

The first post in the thread was simply stating a fact: Conrad is retiring. Mr. WYO Bison turned into a personal slam and political name calling we have all grown to loath during the campaign. I suspect Mr. WYO frustration has more to do with the R behind Berg's name then anything else. I'm not an R or a D, so don't think I'm being one sided here. Another thing to consider is that Berg has nothing to do with the Conrad seat or the US Senate, so why was his name even dragged into this?

Community Topics of interest at UND, in Grand Forks, and in North Dakota. No politics, please. We don't need your political mudslinging here.

Don't worry about it. Length of time here doesn't matter, it comes down to posting what certain people here want to hear. I've been a member for 4 years and was told a few days ago by StarCity that my posts weren't worth reading. Some people just like to run the show apparently.

My point was more so that we shouldn't be playing D2 teams. I'm not all that upset that we aren't beating FBS teams, but it sure bothers me that we lower our standards and play D2, D3, and NAIA teams. I was happy we played out in Idaho this year, even if it wasn't a good showing. But we have to start getting better, both in our play and the quality of the opponents we select. Overall, I consider our performance in the transition to be an embarrassment. Sometimes the truth hurts, but we have to face it before we can improve it.
