    I am a big backer of Sather but let’s not get too optimistic about the team’s success over this year and next. While he inherited 2-3 pretty  good players, that was about it. There is no depth and very limited talent.  It will likely take a couple of years before we he has the talent on the roster to do great things.  While we will continue to win some games we probably shouldn’t win, we better not be too optimistic!

    So you're saying UND will be a final four team this year?  ;)

  2. It's all about consistency. Yes, UND has done well against half of the semi final field. But they also need to play well throughout the year. Losses to ISU and chose games to bad teams can easily wipe out the success of a big win.

    tinfoil hat eh?  Since the institution and widespread understanding of the pairwise and methodology for seeding, its gotten a lot harder to grease a team to the Frozen Four.

    You have to go all the way back to 2016 (the last time BC made the tournament) for them to be favorably placed in a closer than deserved regional.

    Attendance is still a thing. Regardless of seed, they'll do their best to put BC in the closest regional. 

    To be fair, they'd do the same for UND if it was hosted in MN, SD, or even NE and the host wasn't there.

    Regarding the pass/lateral:  It was very close and probably a forward pass.

     

    This says everything we need to know about your opinion on things.

    At least you're consistent.

    Because the Oak View Group has been involved and is often part of NHL franchises, a Canadien Broadcater said Austin would be a primed NHL site.  The arena is simply too small.

    We already covered this...

    TSN reported last week that Austin might be the next site.  That enough of a coincidence to me.  OVG has an existing relationship with the NHL and that arena will need many more dates.

    You certainly love to stretch the truth on dang near everything. Here's the "report" from TSN:

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tsn.ca/insider-trading-are-there-any-unknown-markets-the-nhl-could-expand-to-1.1222220%3ftsn-amp

    "But Austin, Texas, is an interesting market. Right now it's an AHL city with an 8,000-seat stadium, so they would obviously need to build another rink. There isn't an ownership group that has stepped forward and said that they want in on Austin, but it is an intriguing market for the NHL that could one day down the road be on the radar because it's a faster growing market and it is a unique niche."

    That "report" you mention is 3 sentences. That's the whole thing and it's buried in a blog post.

    And of course, you followed that up with this gem:

    The total and complete lack of financial sense is really telling with you.  UT isn’t paying one dime for a new 17k arena and they will get a home court for mbb, wbb, Vb  and other UT events.  How does OVG make money unless on this transaction unless many other dates are more or less set in stone?  Icemaking is normal for such big arenas,  but you claim to know everything, but have absolutely no wisdom. 

    Seems like, as several other posters and I said, OVG has a better handle of their financial numbers than you do. And a better grasp of reality.

    I see Sica's point.  Saigo led the charge against the Native American nicknames with the NCAA.  St. Cloud State had protests whenever UND played there due to the Sioux name. 

    Not that the demise of SCSU football and athletic woes are exactly connected to the actions from 15-20 years ago, but....karma.

    Ah yes, student athletes certainly deserve to lose their opportunity to play collegiate athletics because other people 15 years ago did something legal that others didn't like. Makes perfect sense. 

    At what point does UND deserve karma for having a benefactor who held a nazi memorabilia party? Or is that different because it's UND?

    Seventy-eight

    Wisconsin has over 90.

    Those are just the rowers on the website roster.  They may report more.  According to this Omaha W-H report, Wisco reported 176 members on its women's rowing team in 2018.

    To be a tiny, tiny, tiny bit fair to UW, rowing is pretty huge in eastern Wisconsin. 

    Favorite spot in that state, outside of Lambeau field, is having beers on the back patio of Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, watching the rowers go by.

    Dr. Roy Saigo

    SCSU earned their turn "in the barrel". 

    That's quite the take.

    Using the loss of opportunities for hundreds of students a year as a way to feel better about someone who hasn't been at a University for 13 years.

    These athletes were, at most, 11 when he was last president.

    Karma would be calling yourself a security hawk and then disappearing when someone you support gets busted for serious security violations. Or is that just hipocracy?

    So now all the Cal FCS schools have coaches that are capable of leading an FBS move.

    All those Cali schools will soon move to the WAC and begin the disintegration of the Big Sky to weaker and poorer schools.

    I realize now you just mistyped in the first sentence and meant FCS.

    In that case, your second sentence makes a bit more sense in that I could see them going to an FCS WAC.  You know, the same thing you said wouldn't happen but officials are quoted as saying it's coming.

    Bozoville is panicking because they believe SCSU has pulled an Omaha and is getting a Summit League invite.

    The priority for TSL expansion is UST, Augie if UST doesn't get a waiver, and no one else.  TSL can't invite two sub DI schools in one year as both could only play a partial TSL schedule as the TSL would have four sub DI games the first year.  The Southland broke the rules when Incar Word and ACU joined the same year.

    I assume this is basketball you're talking about? 

    Is there a rule that a team can't play two road games against sub D1 competition in a single year? 

    Edit: I found it: NCAA Bylaw 20.9.8.1 states: “An institution may schedule and play not more than four basketball games, including any contest (e.g., scrimmage, exhibition), in an academic year against institutions that are not members of Division I. (Revised: 3/1/12)” This language is also reinforced by Southland Operating Code 3.02.02 (Non-Division I Opponents). 

    So there isn't an issue with two non D1 counters joining the league in the same year, however none of the SL teams could then play any other non D1 games. 

    The Southland did get a waiver from the NCAA when those two teams were added so there is a precedent for being able to add two at once and still play other non D1 teams.

    There is a significant amount of money being left on the table. Give me a throwback jersey like the diagonal SIOUX that says HAWKS with as minimal postage logo as possible (or even missing it). 
     

    I’m really surprised that cool vintage look stuff like this hasn’t been showing up in small quantities in the back corners of the siouxshop to test the waters. 
     

    If only someone knew how to get quality sweaters made 

    It almost seems as if there may be some driving force behind the team not adopting some jerseys that would say Hawks diagonally. I think someone would win the jackpot if they could just figure out what it is...

  12. Current list of Big Sky and MVFC schools with head coaches who were previously FBS O/DCs or HCs:

    Cal Poly

    Idaho

    Idaho St

    Montana

    Mt St 

    NAU

    Sac St

    Davis

    IL St

    IN St

    YSU

    Based on your expert analysis that former FBS coordinators are great at helping schools move up, it looks like 75% of the Big Sky and just three MVFC teams will be going FBS.

    Was an incredibly successful HC at FCS with a school that had to pinch pennies.

    P5 OC and DC's go G5 HC's all the time, like your so dumb again.

    *you're © @MafiaMan

    Do lots of horribly unsuccessful OCs from P5 schools become G5 HCs? I doubt it.

    And so his credentials, that led you to call him a coach capable of helping Cal Poly go FBS, are that he coached well at a poorer FCS school and then had a demonstrably bad role as a P5 OC?

    No experience as HC above FCS, no success at FBS, and no experience transitioning a school from one level to another. 

    You're basing it on all the fact that other P5 OCs have become G5 HCs?

    He won't be coaching a PAC12 team but will play them.

    Yup, they're scheduled vs Cal next year. 

    Once again, I must have missed this part in your answer: how does being an incredibly unsuccessful offensive coordinator in FBS then make you qualified to lead a team from FCS to FBS?

    Cal hasn't been to the Rose Bowl since 1959 despite having stellar QBs like Aaron Rodgers and Jared Goff.  Beau is a loser like them in your world.

    You didn't answer my question. 

    But yes, I do think Beau was a very unsuccessful FBS OC, mainly due to the fact Cal finished last in the PAC12 nearly every major offensive category.

    So, once again I ask: Just curious, but how does being an incredibly unsuccessful offensive coordinator in FBS then make you qualified to lead a team from FCS to FBS?
