what narrative are you pushing? The MVFC/Gateway since 2002 the WKU years you are so interested in have had 5 different teams in the NC game, the Big Sky only 2 2002- MVFC; Western Kentucky 2003- CAA; Delaware 2004- CAA; James Madison 2005-2007 - SoCon; App St 2008- CAA; Richmond 2009- CAA; Villanova 2010- BSC; Eastern Wash 2011-2015 - MVFC - NDSU 2016 - CAA; James Madison 2017- MVFC; NDSU

Due to ISU-R and ISU-B scheduling non DI OOC games they hurt themselves. I only se 3 at the most form the Valley, could even only be NDSU and SDSU at this point. Although ISU-B is on a 5 game win streak will it be enough? If they win maybe but still lack 1 DI game. I doubt they get left out after winning 6 straight should they win Saturday as its shown in the past the committee rewards late season winning

That really doesn't make much sense, the Gateway after WKU won the title in 2002 stayed pretty level making the title game and Semis Regular. MVFC teams took each other out in the Semis or Qtrs several times, don't get what your trying to say ( I tried to quote Sioux Volley but it didn't work) Gateway/MVFC teams in the playoffs 2002 - WKU, WIU; both met in the Qtrs WKU went on to win the Championship 2003 - UNI, WIU; WKU all 3 made it to QTRs and lost, UNI lost eventual NC Delaware 2004- SIU, WKU; both lost first round 2005- UNI, SIU; SIU made the QTRS, UNI the title game Losing to APP st 2006- ISU-R, SIU, YSU; All made QTRS, YSU played ISU-R and made Semis' 2007- UNI, SIU; Both QTRS, SIU made SEMI's 2008- UNI, SIU; UNI made SEMI's 2009 - SDSU, SIU; SIU made QTRS 2010 - WIU, NDSU, UNI; WIU Rd2, NDSU Qtrs NDSU lost to EWU eventual Champ (first year of expanded playoffs) 2011 - NDSU, UNI; UNI Qtrs, NDSU Champion 2012 - NDSU, SDSU, ISU-R; SDSU 2nd Rnd, ISU-R Qtrs, NDSU Champ (Beat SDSU) 2013 - NDSU, SDSU; SDSU 2nd rnd, NDSU Champ 2014 - NDSU, SDSU, UNI, ISU-R, ISU-B; Illinois ST beat UNI, NDSU beat SDSU, Both made Title game 2015 - NDSU, SDSU, UNI, WIU, ISU-R; Illinois, UNI, NDSU all made Qtrs, NDSU beat UNI in Semis 2016 - NDSU, SDSU, ISU-R, YSU; NDSU, SDSU, YSU made QTRS; NDSU and YSU Semis, YSU lost to JMU NC game 2017 - NDSU, SDSU, USD, UNI, WIU; NDSU SDSU Semis, NDSU Champ I don't see the big conspiracy as both Valley and BSC teams have generally faired pretty well in Playoffs with some unfavorable draws, lets remember playoffs went from 16 to 20 to the current 24 since 2010, better conferences naturally got more bids

YSU blocked one of ours Sat, last time before that I honestly can't remember

Good for you guys doing this, first time cruising here in a long, long time just wanted to comment, later

Amazingly this is one that the FD still hasn't figured out...their music selection is absolute....S#$!T, And its such an easy thing to fix with NO COST I'm with you man 100%....sorry I had to chime in on this cause it grinds my gears Peace out

lol......post of the day...I just had to sign in and give you credit. Anyone remember the picture of Tracy Claeys eating the ice cream bar in the snow last year.... Ok I'll punch out now..

watching from the Dykhouse center...not sure what happened with them but SDSU totally fell apart

i sure hope you don't live in GF saying this

Absolutely the ND media is going to Hype it.....i dare ANYONE to find someone that wont be watching or listening that grew up in ND, its a ND business persons dream to have ads the week leading up to and during the game. also who in the Athletic Dept has said anything negative? if they have i missed it and would like to read or hear it

not really, because those same player will get game time experience, it also can make a team better a good ass whipping like UNI laid on us last year was a good thing IMO, no different when Indiana st beat us we woke up a loss isnt always negative

its a good recruiting method, look at the dominate teams in the region try to find pieces of the puzzle to work in your system. Bohl did just that when we joined the MVFC, looked at UNI and went into their backyard and took guys like Billy Turner who at the time had a brother on the UNI team...no matter what any other bison fan says we did just that, look at the coach we have now...UNI legacy..whats that tell you

What's funny is you guys are blasting Jack because he talks NDSU during the week....what do you expect his station owner is the flagship radio station for ndsu in the city ndsu is located. Why doesn't a local GF station jump on the rights if it's such an important deal to have a UND guy calling it? To me I'd be more mad a local station apparently has zero interest in getting the rights, obviously I'll get blasted for this so whatever. I post and visit here very little..

yeah is sucks wallowing in the MVFC as the 3 time champs, along side SDSU who is perennially ranked nationally, also sucks that NDSU and SDSU are stuck in a BBall conference ranked higher than the BSC and each school has been to the NCAA tourney 2 times and one team has a win......man I'm depressed

ok better example Iowa, but for population Wyoming is closer, im not 100% but I think ND has nearly 45-50% more population and 90% more of State Schools? I didnt intend it for smack

if the State of ND gave 2 shits about their top Universities this subject might not exist, if you get what I mean if not then think Wyoming

we played Indiana St South Dakota played Illinois St

Beck is a Senior

unless UND is rated in the top 30 right??

not according to Sagarin, GPI, etc... MVFC has the #29 and 51 ranked team in all College football in the Sagarin, closest Big Sky is EWU at #84 Towson and Eastern Ill are higher than any BSC school

Depends, I would say 3-4

I'm in no way saying Lennon is a bad coach but siu was a great team before he took over

Please explain your reason?

Or the number 3 team from the Valley in NDSU destroying the BSC champs in 2010?

What would support it is the MVFC is the #1 ranked conference by both major polls with the MVFC averaging a 130 ranking with 10 team over a 143 average ranking with 13 teams over the Big Sky
