Why didn't they mix them up in the first three weeks? Or last year?

A joke? Its the coaches poll Darrell, the people who know it best.

Jim, Can you please stop all this NDSU talk in threads where it shouldn't be. It is ruining multiple threads and could easily be kept to one thread.

What will be interesting to see is if a certain councilman benefits from this move by taking over the liquor sales at the Alerus Center. They are going to have to hire a local bar or liquor store to supply the beer/alcohol and also run the operation. The Bismarck Civic Center does that to get around the law. They have Captain Jacks supply it and then get 55% of the take.

TT was 9-4 and won the Alamo Bowl. Please dont compare any FBS team NDSU has played to them.

Post of the Day!

If the entire student section and the entire band is a small minority then yes, you are correct. Those two groups can be pretty loud during a basketball game.

Also, a couple years ago both the NDSU student section and the Band both broke out in separate "Sioux Suck" chants during a basketball game. They were playing Oakland.

So now Bison fans are telling everyone it was the Semi-Finals?

When was that?

I am still trying to wrap my head around this. 5 million dollars for a Track Facility - in North Dakota. Do they realize they will never ever be near the top of the track world no matter how hard they try. And even if they do get good nationally, what does that get you? Nothing. The sport is worthless, it gets very little media coverage and no revenue. To not make it viable for football is stupid.

I just read the article about the contribution by Stop and Go to make the Indoor Track Facility a go. So if I understand this right, NDSU is going to spend all that money on strictly a track facility that has a couple nets for golf and baseball. Really? They aren't going to put turf in it and make it a facility for football, there most important sport? So football doesn't have an Indoor Practice Facility after all of this stuff is built? If I am Craig Bohl I am not happy. As a UND fan I hope NDSU spends millions and millions of dollars on Track, Wrestling, Baseball, Golf, Softball - those sports are money pits that return minimal to nothing. It is apparent how lucky we are here. Our facilities were already built for us so the Indoor Facility that is going to be built soon is simply adding on extra's to make everything even better.

I didn't see that picture in the Herald, thanks for clearing that up!

I thought that was in a field south of the Alerus parking lot. This building is IN the Alerus Center parking lot and is a long 1 story rectangle. It doesn't look like a hotel but I guess it could be.

Is that a strip mall going up in the southeast corner of the Alerus Center parking lot?

Did anybody really think Western Michigan had the budget to be flying all over the country for their games?

No, that is just your 'arrogance' showing through, according to Captain Knows-Alot.

Kelley isnt going anywhere.

Translated: All I care about is hockey and the entire athletic department means nothing to me or the other myopic hockey douches.

You may want to go over to Bisonville and dig up all the threads they had started about joining the WAC, MAC, Mountain West, etc. Its a few people throwing out pie in the sky scenarios. Same thing-different board.

Please explain reasons why/how NDSU's basketball team got any better as the year went on-didnt appear to get any better to me. Or the reason why they were no better last year than they were in 2009?

They were 8-6 that year and lost their bowl game. Pretty sad statement about your FBS SOS if that is the best team you scheduled to date. UND has already schedule two teams (out of 3) better than that.

What year did NDSU finish with the #1 ranking?

Well, USD sure as hell wasn't the 2nd best team - and UND wasn't either. So that only leaves two other teams.

Dan, are you understanding what we are talking about at all? SOS tells us how good each opponent actually was that season (which shows exactly how not all are created equal). Which then tells us that all schedules all not exactly comparative. If one school played a bunch of 0-11 teams it would not be the same as the other school that played 5 teams that were 8-3. I am lost as to your point-are you arguing against yourself?
