Ignore the haters. Can't really argue with the resume. It is what it is.
I do, wasn't trying to argue, just saying the same conference UND is in lut 6 teams in the field, someday that will help UND and NDSU. Being in a strong conference helps and hurts at the same time, but saying money is why is ignorant.

Why are you here
you have Buffalo ville to post on
same reason your fans post on our site, just doing some national reading tonight, trying to have a conversation but obviously you don't have any factual reasoning to back up the opinion you posted so sorry for supplying some facts, have a great evening

They were put there because of money
should have been a 3 or 4 seed at best
how do you figure this?
10-1, 1 loss by 7 in the road, went 3-1 vs the playoff teams, beat 7 ranked teams. Outright champ of the strongest FCS conference
their resume equals the seed. JMU was 0-1 vs Playoff teams, didnt even with their conference, Nova did.

What’s the outsider opinion if UND wins next week and UNI loses? None of them in or does UND get a shot?
What if UNI and UND wins? Here is their potential FCS records:
6-4 SDSU
6-4 UND
6-4 UNI
which one gets in?
There is a shot but unfortunately I think the committee is anti MVFC but we will see personally i think 6 mvfc teams are worthy

SDSU is in whether they win or lose
Disagree, they have a non qualifying win, If UND beats them i think they are out. Either way they will be playing opening round and going on the road after that

Depends on the school. Easton Stick came to NDSU as opposed to Rutgers. Its seems its you who is foolish to be make statements in absolutes.
Ogbu had a last minute call from Georgia Tech with an offer, he chose NDSU
Saybein Clark held a strong offer from Iowa, he chose NDSU.
Trey Lance had a last minute call from Boise St (I know not P5)
There are others I'm missing, and their narrative for choosing NDSU in most cases was the staff and fact that they will get a shot at the next level just like the P5 and compete for a Championships year In and out.
I know I'm missing others and it happens at many other schools in the SE part of the country more frequently than NDSU

Lol. I follow other conferences plenty. That is exactly how I shaped my opinion. Down or overrated. In this case it means the same thing.
I was pointing more to other fans clamoring the superiority of the MVFC, never said you didn't know nor say you were wrong...LOL

You kind of make my point of why I was quoted, I made the statement that outside of NDSU the MVFC “in my opinion only” is over rated this year.
Great conference, can’t wait to be in it. However, I feel this year it is down vs years past. That was the only statement I made.
How SDSU finishes out remains to be seen.
With all the big classes Graduated last year, it was known by everyone who actually follows other conference schools the MVFC would be down. A down MVFC is still a top 3 conference means something

2012?? Dude, that's OLD in turf years.
I agree, but it's also not worn out like originally stated

They do need new turf... it is worn..... otherwise the technology, signs, and announcing all point to money from the community.
Umm...it was brand new in 2012, I belive it is exactly the same age as the Alerus Centers
Granted it has had a lot of games played on it between NDSU and HS, it's far from worn out

Well maybe we could get the presidents of the Mo Valley schools to vote NDSU out of the conference like the D3 schools did to St. Thomas. Might be worth a try.
Um, good luck with this, UND has zero pull in the MVFC

Strange. I didnt hear that chant. Of course I dont sit around many college types. But I do have to admit that that sentiment was expressed in many conversations before, during and after the game.
But seriously why does it bother you? Youre no longer the Sioux. Youre the Fighting Hawks. Right?
It happened several times for a short stint, I sit near the students
There are many things the UND staff needs to worry about before a chant and a Mascot with a hockey sign first though

Will give Fargo props for game day experience
hiwever i never had as many threats shoulder bumps in my life as yesterday.
Well in rebuttal a group of UND fans stopped at my tailgate and had nothing but positive things to say like 99% of visiting fans
But like any game there are idiots so if you had a bad experience I apologize for the drunk morons
And yes..lots of hockey jerseys yesterday Oshie and Toews (sp?)
And i thought Noah Wanzek looked like a really good player, he seemed like the backbone of the offense and made plays when they needed it.

Someone should set up a new thread that only Sioux Volley and Lakes can post in. Would be mildly entertaining to watch them go at it back and forth. Pretty sure lakes also pretends that he doesn't know who Sioux Volley is though...
I had to respond to this.....my god that would be an awesome thread...the lunacy in there would cause heads to explode
I FULLY SUPPORT THE NEW THREAD!!!

Surprised by the empty seats on tv for the bison duke game (mainly behind ndsu bench).
NDSU seats are on the Camera side, not behind the bench.

A top 3 WR for the defending champs "leaves" the team in the middle of a playoff run and the local media gives nothing more than a passing tweet on it. I mean I want to say I'm surprised but they also didn't bother mentioning any off the field trouble from the same player (or any others) when it happened or as a possible tie-in to the departure so I guess I'm not. But can we please hear more about how the media is so critical of their program and make sure every negative detail is talked about??
so you know he had off the field issues?

This site would be a lot better if it had a Cow College filter. I run into enough of them in person, now they're overflowing every football forum site known to man with their blabbering BS and arrogance.
again what have I posted that is arrogant, insecure ect.. I'm interested in the FCS playoffs, just responding to a couple that have posted false info, I have not talked smack or insulted anyone, in fact go back and read my posts in this thread I even said all you can hope for is to win Saturday and let the committee decide on making the playoffs.
I read many teams message boards and post on several but i seem to get grief here only. Sorry for adding an outside opinion and yes there are several UND posters on BV to answer a question a few posts back

Some of you Bison fans are beyond insecure.
What have I posted but facts to SiouxVolley that also hold up against Bin's comments about the Valley that make me insecure? They both are trying to downplay that in FACT the MVFC has been a stronger conference since 2002, this year is questionable yes
SiouxVOlley tried to say the MVFC was weak because in 2002 Western Kentucky won a Championship and the Valley did not win another till 2011, while in that exact same time frame the Big Sky only won 1 also, but he didn't want to respond to the fact that since 2002 the MVFC has put 5 different teams in the Championship game compared to 2 from the Big sky, When 2 conference teams meet in the NC game its undeniable the strength of the conference or when one conference has been in the title game every year since 2011
Those are FACTS, the insecurity comes from the 2 downplaying their future conference, NDSU thought exactly the same thing going from the GWFC to the Valley, 2009 we were beat up bad and went 3-8, took a whole new recruiting class and philosophy in 2010 to change it around. I'm sorry if I believe UND is going down that same route, think what you want but playing Physical Power games week after week compared to chuck the pigskin offenses is a whole different animal.

Realize that the season is not over yet, but the latest bracket from STATS/Craig Haley has 5 Big Sky teams (when you include UND) in versus just 2 from the Valley. That would make the Big Sky the stronger conference and illustrates that the Valley is not as "strong" as some believe or even hope. I don't think the disparity has been as large in recent years as some people like to think. The fact that the MVFC has been dominated by two DII move-ups since they joined that league says volumes about the quality of the other members.
As far as "finding solace" in the fact that UND is moving to the Valley, I'll pass. It's like leaving the Big 10 for the Big 12.
But to get back on topic, North Dakota just needs to win this weekend, preferably convincingly, and let the chips fall where they do. Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling we are going to get passed over for whoever wins the Brawl of the Wild game. Too much name recognition to overcome there.
This is classic...the last 15 years disproves all this, but carry on

your point? Nowhere does it say MVFC is better than the SEC, if your reference is College students making a sign then that's funny, cause there are a ton of Hawks fans on film making complete A...s of themselves also.
As for playoffs, only thing UND can do is focus on this Saturday which Im plenty sure the team probably is, then wait till Sunday and see what happens at 11:30 AM on ESPNU

Just rejecting the BS that comes from down south that the MVFC is somehow greater than the SEC.
I would love you to link to one source where this has been stated???

closure rate in GF is much Higher than Fargo, come on you know that! now as to why..who knows maybe people just stay home more in GF, I have always said in my 25 years living in Fargo that people love to go out and eat here, maybe the city is hard to work with I don't know but something has to cause it.
Taco Johns went down as a franchise, they were terribly mismanaged, never knew if they would be open or not oh and shitholes, sounds like they are trying to find a new Franchisee, but investors are not big into the resurrection type thing now days, especially here in Fargo where there is literally a Taco/Mexican place on every street. they would rather bring a new concept in.
Three Lyons..lol that place was plagued with employee problems for years they even had to close because none of the staff showed up for a few days in boycott of bad wages and terrible management.
Fargo in General has really great establishments, there will always be closures but the rate of new opening vs closing is reaching pre 2020 range again. I personally would rather see the Fast food places downsize as i eat 90% local or regional chain (Luckys, Doolittles, Crave, Ect)
I still wonder how the hell GF could not keep a Hu Hot open...
