WYOBISONMAN

I am not sure Maturi would whack him this early in the season.......but, he really is a horrid coach!

I still say the jury is out on the Bison until I see what happens at UNI.

I can't believe the Gophers didn't try a FG.......my god what a foolish call.

Do the Sioux play them at GF?

It must be getting in the Gophers heads or something.....

WOW! What a barnburner of a game! And I thought this one would be terrible! Maybe the Coyotes are a lot tougher than I thought.

Wow....not sure if USD can hold on now. But still, what a poor showing by the Gophers.

Delaware is tough. Everyone always bitches about so many teams from the east getting into the playoffs, but there are some very good programs out there...

I just tuned in to the USD/MN game......has USD been dominating completely??? Why on earth is Brewster still coaching! Was watching the KU/GT game.......doesn't seem like the KU team we saw last week. I think Turner Gill will turn things around at KU...... Final question.....What channel on Directv is Idaho on??

I was moderately pleased with the Vikes on Thursday. Favre looked a little rusty, but he will come around. I do think we are missing Sidney Rice badly at WR. I do think we need to improve in our defensive secondary and I was surprised that Allen did not put the hurt on anyone. I hate that we traded Sage. I think that was a huge mistake and I can't figure out why Chilly is married to Tjack for the backup. Man I hate Tjack. So, it looks like Webb is the future, and I am glad we have him. Webb needs to be leaning all he can from Favre this season so he can start to take the reins as QB when the Favre era ends. I am glad we have Favre and I am looking forward to another great season of Viking football!

Check out the link. Pigs will fly before this would ever happen. A terrible idea............. Forum link I am surprised no one has posted this one yet........

Is there any webcast of this one?

Minor sports don't count.......

Still......I do think it is easier to get an upset in BB. I am debating whether or not to fly back to Fargo for the game. The dome is so huge that it is not a great BB venue, but if it is a tight game it would be fun.

I would suspect this one will not be much of a game. NDSU clearly will outmatch UND on the court......but, BB is always more ripe for the upset than Football. I hope it is an interesting game.

No charge on Directv as long as the package is active for 30 days. If canceled prior to 30 days they tag you with a $10 fee.

I think you can add sports pack and then delete it so you are not stuck paying for it when you don't want to watch the games. Given there is usually quite a bit of FCS ball on there I usually add it and keep it throughout FB season. And at times I can get some Summit BB on there too. But, I do think you can add and dump it as you wish.

If you are gonna beat a FBS team, Idaho is a good target. They have hung on as a FBS school just by the skin of their teeth.

Maybe after the eviscerating the WAC has suffered at the hands of the MWC has them paranoid and the thinking is get so many you will be safe from loosing your conference. Just pure conjecture, but who knows what that fool Benson is thinking.

Yes, there are a lot of folks who have made it big in oil here. Many of the recent athletic improvements, especially to War Memorial Stadium, have come from major donors. Wyoming is essentially split where the Eastern part of the state has private lands and private minerals where as most of the west has public lands and public minerals. Most of our state revenue comes from mineral severance taxes and property taxes on severed minerals. We pay no state income tax here. And, as for folks making it big from mineral wealth in ND......they are probably farmers.....LOL....

Actually Wyoming is sitting with between $4 billion and $5 billion in our mineral trust fund. Almost any instate kid that goes to the University gets at least a 50% scholie from the state.....pretty sweet deal.....especially when you got college age kids.... My link

The biggest question right now is.....will Hawaii leave and will MT get an invite? Also.....would MT accept? I think the more likely scenario for UND would be filling a hole in the Sky created by movement to the WAC. But, remember, in the past the Big Sky has shown aversion to travel to ND and playing in the Central timezone. With MT out of the Sky a lot of objection to SUU would be gone and I think SUU is a more likely pick. The domino effect of that one would be to open up a slot in the Summit. That still does not solve your football problem.

If I may generalize.....I think those mid-west kids have a better work ethic and team ethic. But....being from ND I likely am biased.

I just don't think the money is there to do this. As hostile as the legislature is toward higher ed, the state will never pay for it and the private funds in a down economy won't support it. Wyoming has more money that ND (as a state) and we only have one school and the Cowboys are marginally competative in the MWC. Besides the fact that the WAC is a train wreck today, it is about money. And we still have not discussed the issue of needing a bigger stadium. Remember FBS requires average attendance of 15,000 as a minimum. That being said, a conference that had the ND and MT schools in it would really create some great rivalry games. Although, I do have to say that the "manuactured rivalry" between NDSU and SDSU has actually turned into the real McCoy. I know myself and most of the fans I am friends with really don't like those folks from Brookings. And.....I really don't like the UNI bunch either, and that one was never really pushed as a rivalry. The just have very irritating fans. And the ORU bunch is not to high on my list either.......LOL. None the less, annual games between the MT and ND schools would be great events. All that being said, I would be opposed to a jump to the WAC.

It is all cloak and daggers......
