UNDvince97-01

Geographically, I think I would would prefer the Summit and the MVFC over the Big Sky. Also, the MVFC is a MUCH better football conference from top to bottom than the BSC. The regional scheduling alliances with certain schools would be the biggest key for me for football. I also would hope that we could have USD along as well. What a great conference for football that would be. The BSC probably has the better overall basketball conference though. Getting into the Summit lends a helping hand to eventually getting into the MVFC, which is what should be our ultimate goal in my opinion.

I really like the new-look Nike uniforms. The only thing I would change is adding a Sioux logo obviously , but we all know why that is absent. As far as the new interlocking "ND" - I think it will just take all of us a little time to get used to. I can understand why UND wants to separate itself in terms of marketing and branding. Like many have already stated, it really isn't all that different.

I would like to see Binns redshirt regardless of talent or need. I realize we all want wins now for recruiting purposes, but we are in the transition and should build for the future when we are playoff eligible. All freshman have a physical and mental learning curve in their first year for football and college life in general. By the time they figure it out on and off the field, the season and first year of college are over. Seems like a waste of a year to me. I don't like taking redshirts off kids unless injury and/or depth concerns prompt the coaching staff to do so.

I have also heard that Sutton has the potential to be a great RB at UND. His credentials coming out of high school in Wisconsin are impressive. I believe he was the Gatorade POY in Wisconsin his senior year.

:D

LOL. Awful.

Where did you get that info from? I can't find it.

Right. Just like the Central Connecticut St. team ndsu played last year. Same conference.

Could be a possibility. They are a FCS school. I would take them right now on the schedule for next year.

Great win by the men. I really wish the people who go to the womens game would stay for the mens as well. I really hate to see people getting up and leaving in between games. If you are already there, you might as well stay and support the UND men too. Makes me cringe sometimes. Great win, guys.

Because of immediately being able to identify them , I like the idea of the bolded schools. At this point, I would be willing to travel there next year with return game in the future and huge buyout clauses. I don't know much about the other "surname schools" or Stony Brook though.

While obviously not ideal, at this point I would say yes I'm ok with that. But that's just me. Yes. But with a huge buyout clause, like 92,96 has stated. But that's just me.

Or......

Nice!!!

Ugh. This one hurts because we go head-to-head a lot with South Dakota for recruits in Wisconsin.

I'm not a big fan of the idea of all-black uniforms. I can understand a 3rd uni for special occasions, etc. I like the idea of all-green unis better.

Don't be giving the NCAA any more ammo now.

I know the committee won't be in charge of this, but to reiterate, please no new nickname. We are The University of North Dakota. "The U". Vicariously and unofficially, people can still call us the Sioux. Could merchandisers still produce the logo and sell it, even though it wouldn't be recognized by the NCAA? I don't know the legal ramifications of it. Who owns it officially? The university or the artist? Bottom line: PLEASE, NO NEW NICKNAME. Just my opinion.

75-69 UNC. Timeout. We missed two consecutive front ends of the one and ones. That hurt bad. 1:20 left.

Am i that far behind? I have 70-69 UNC right now. Timeout.

Nevermind, got it. Watching. Not a bad feed at all.

Linky?

Wow. Cmon boys, this would be a nice one to win. Keep the updates coming, Craig Stadler.

C'mon, seriously? Did I really just read that? I agree, time to lock the thread now.

I believe the magic number is 57.
