Buy....I say 6-0 only road game on the stretch is ISU.

It should be higher since I go up against the top 5 clueless people like BisonDan, Johnboy and other Bison clueless.

Oh master of the sports world please enlighten me on my cluelessness.

Summit= Big Sky, you are going for one spot either a 12-14 seed, it's not like we are getting a #1 seed. I use it to measure up to teams we are playing or in the conference, I don't compare UND to the likes of a Kansas or Duke like NDSU does to Alabama in football

When do I talk about RPI? Unless its Bison fans throwing that (along with Sagarin ratings) in UND's face. In a one bid conference (which the Big Sky and SL are) RPI's don't mean much.

I read this comment and it sounds interesting: Could you imagine Mankato, St. Cloud, Duluth, Bemidji and even Moorhead State joining the SL? I think some die hard Bison fans would be begging all conferences (even the Big Sky) to let them in.

http://bisonmedia.areavoices.com/ Imagine the new SL: NDSU (football school) SDSU (basketball school) IPFW IUPUI USD WIU DU (hockey school but big budget) UNO (hockey school) SCSU (hockey school) MSU-Mankato (hockey school) Didn't Bison fans brag about RPI? Not with some of those schools, plus how does bringing in 2 more DII teams help the AQ status that is just about gone. Douple should have been thinking of this day when SUU, Centenary, and Oral Roberts left.

Actually UND's attendance did increase with BSC play.

That's what the WAC said when DU left the Sun Belt.

The SU's may praise Douple for getting DU to join, but...... http://milehighsports.com/2012/11/26/denver-pioneers-hoops-moving-to-summit-league/ If DU didn't like the WAC because of declining membership they for sure is not going to like the Summit League. I can't see DU lasting more than 1 season in the SL.

http://www.omaha.com/article/20130516/MAVS/705169834/1707 De UNO will not be happy with Douple (probably won't say it in public), if the SL loses its autobid in baseball and softball. Seems like the priority in Omaha is hockey first, baseball/softball second then basketball. Could you imagine to have the CWS in your city and your conference just lost a baseball/softball autobid when it had a chance to snag not one but two members (UND, UNC). Good luck Mavericks.

Such a BS rule. Its not like he intended on transferring. I hope if he comes to UND that the NCAA will overlook the rule and he can play right away.

The way that Douple is operating that conference, I hope UND doesn't listen to him.

With Oakland leaving, the SL is down to 5 full DI members (EIU, WIU, SDSU, USD, IUPUI), and yet they couldn't lure UND to join. I think this should close the door on UND ever joining the SL in any sport especially basketball.

I thought Lakes and Slic Vic were the same person.

And since all of their non-conference games won't be at the BSA they will have to do a bit of traveling, but hey remember don't join the BSC because you will do a lot of traveling. Can't wait to see Saul's OOC schedule.

That game was a classic choke job and Ralston didn't want to sugarcoat it like UND officials wanted him to. Suspending him was stupid, and does make the U look bad.

UND at Chicago State from Wrigley Field...that would be sweet!!

For those of you that enjoy the crap that Lakes says here is a board with very entertainment value to it. You have to love his view of NDSU going FBS to the MW, and MAC. http://bisonation.serverforumhosting.com/ You know its entertaining when Lakes is the Administator.

We'll see what happens on our turf.

What exactly should we be embarrassed about?

I don't go on bragging about RPI's and dance trips like FU fans do. I hate to tell you, but do you remember that game against KU in the dance...because its really fading from memory.

So you look at UND's sports after 1 year out of the GWC, while I took NDSU sports from the last 5 years. And I took one sport Dano it was men's basketball. You guys talk about the easiest way to the dance is a small conference but yet since Woodside was gone it hasn't been so easy has it? You Bunny friends may have the same opinion on you guys as they have passed you in number of trips. So until you can back it up on the court...keep the cockyness to a whisper.

For a team that has only made it to the dance once since joining the league in the fall of 2008 and since that conference has gotten smaller and smaller since March 09, they do an awful lot of talking but maybe they should show it more on the court. So a smaller conference with weaker teams (USD, UMKC) I would have expected a lot more dance appearances. Now before the Bison fans invade..no UND fans have talked so cocky about going to the dance like FU fans. We know we have a lot of teams to go through and even play the tournament on someone else's home court so why should we blab our mouth about how easy a trip to the dance is.

I didn't say they "were" going DI, I just named a couple DII teams in the footprint of the Big Sky.
