You still didn’t answer if you want all sports to move to 1 conference
also when you talk about media market,FM area is about 5 to 6% of Mpls. Metro population so it’s a small market
I didnt say anything about markets and I never said anything about all sports. I think youre talking to somebody else.
But I will ask you a question---why do you people here have such a hard on about NDSU moving up?

I stated it before only logical fit for FBS conference would be if Montana, Montana State, North Dakota State, Und, SDSU, USD, Northern Iowa, Idaho state, Eastern Washington, Idaho, and utah and Northern Colorado formed a conference. Even with the names listed above i don't know how many would want to move up but this would have foot print that would make sense it would limit distant travel and if enough would join you could have east/west spliit in the conference to also limit travel and costs . If it was marketed right getting right media company that wanted to provide sports tv to the states in this conference there could be some television money. Also most national markets wouldn't want to regionalize a market to small market states that this conference would be in so if was done right conference and tv provider would need to be almost partners in developing and marketing this conference to this region of the country. The big time p5 schools are basically doing this now national level and i don't see their numbers increasing because adding more schools just dilutes amount of money being shared when adding more schools. If anything we could see a drop in p5 schools because they don't improve the revenue shared to pot because of tv viewership and other media revenue they can generate for other p5 schools. This sounds like were getting away from basic of college sports but this has been happening in last 20 years and unless their is political change i just see this continuing down this path. We have done this on national scale and next step is for local media company working with smaller college conferences selling this on regional basis as subscription to watch their favorite teams. But until this happens i don't see where NDSU or most of FCS schools and small mid major schools will be moving even to G5 conference because most of these conferences are near what they want for membership. These changes could happen quite quickly or may never happen depending how much change smaller division I schools are willing to accept and if there are smaller local media companies willing to grow and put media business company together sell conference on regional basis. I think this may happen but until somebody does it and makes it successful it won't become the thing to do.
Most importantly you would need to get approval from the NCAA as they dont allow whole conferences to move up or teams to create a conference to move up.

A few comments here:
Team Makers is a money raising machine at this point. Hell, there are business owners in Frisco, TX donating annually. Bison fans feel free to chime in here and confirm or deny. Secondly, as to UND, sadly I believe that the Sioux name saga has hindered us on the fundraising side, which is outside of anyone's control
Yes there are a couple of businesses in Frisco that are Team Maker members
They love us down there.

A 12 team FBS tournament would be a joke. How many teams per year have a legit shot? Maximum 3-5 I would say. Rarely more than 3.
The only way this happens is if the politicians get involved---again. Its the only reason we moved on from the original formats.

why do you have to bring it up......so absolutely no one that prepped it, cooked it, and then served it looked down and said "29 bucks for that?"
Not the point.

That's the least of your problems at Harry's - after waiting for half an hour after our "reservation" - we were seated and then waited an hour and 10 minutes for a "medium" steak that was blood red raw rare and my wife had a $28 dollar "walleye entree" that was one THIN walleye fillet burned and dry on the edges.
We wanted SO MUCH to love this place and it's a beautiful renovation of the building - the only thing they forgot is the quality of the food. I'm happy to pay for "EXPERIENCE" but this isn't it ...yet! Ambience decent but the food is a train wreck!
Matt the manager came out to hob-knob with Gino Gasparini's table and Marilyn was also there that night. He looked around but never bothered to stop at any of the "common peoples" tables. Thank's Matt. Nice to know you care about all your customers.
Did you let management know of the issues with your meal? If you dont bring issues to their attention they cant fix it.

As I posted a few years back. Bubba will not take you to the promised land.

Forgive the witness your honor you should make some accomodation for where he was apparently educated. I submit the following evidence...

No further questions your honor!
PS - There's a reason UND has the law school:-)
Does UND teach reading comprehension? Ive read this article and no where does it state RED potatoes. It mentions RRV potatoes.
There is a reason you NEED a law school.

5 Guys takes pride in letting everyone know where their potatoes come from. Walking in they were screaming Idaho Russets all over - again wait - we're in potato country. Seems like you could do better in a local chain with a local product. I'm not saying force RR Reds on everyone in the US. BUT it could be a marketing opportunity if you featured them here. Reds make great fresh fries. It's still a side btw - the main focus is on the burgers.
I get your chain (same EVERYWHERE) arguement but why? Ask Chik-Fil-A - they bombed their opening in Bismarck by not having most of their menu in stock when they opened. Why did you open? They had lines of cars stacked up only to be turned away by long waits and no product. Idiots. You screwed a certain part of your future business with this crappy initial experience. Like local restaurants don't have enough challenges today...
Some potatoes are good for frying and some arent. I dont think Reds fall in to the frying category.

FU fans are the only ones that tell themselves that. No one else actually talks about or cares.
I was equally as disappointed after SIU, Missouri St. and SDSU. Games the team let slip away.
I find this attitude very interesting. Before the rivalry was resumed the constant theme here about the game was how important the game was for ND. WE were rivals. It was the game everyone waited for. ETC ETC ETC. Now that the game is being played again and ND has been getting their butts pounded the game isnt a big deal.

Sickness I guess.
He wasnt sick Friday night.

She refuted what you were insinuating her post meant. So yes, I am correct. And thank you for calling me boss. Although I can’t ever imagine hiring you.
Actually she wasnt successful in her attempt. So she refuted nothing.

You know…don’t take this out of context… I did not say what sport, what level, what team. Why did you assume it was this game? Get a life!

I have one a mile from my house in Savage. Delicious! Nothing fancy, very similar to a culvers, but I really like them! Always order the fry sauce.
Got my vote on Freddys!

Gawd NDSU fans are losers on BV. Go read the post-game thread. Just pathetic embarrassing comments. So juvenile, they are obsessed with UND, it just took the game being renewed to come out.
You must be reading a different board than I am. The ONLY person obsessed with you is Lakes. And everyone knows hes a freaking idiot.

I am not as technical and knowledgeable as most here. But if I can see a play and question it, then I know it is obvious. I will NOT mention names or games….but at one point I said to myself “that kid was paid off.” There is no doubt in my mind that these things can happen in sports. Not to coaches…..
Let’s just leave this 4th down for what it is. We can’t go back snd hind sight is 20/20. But it isn’t like we have had 2 years of converting on 4th downs either.Conspiracy?????

NDSU is not the big bad wolf and nobody needs to fear them. They are a shadow of their former selves and overrated. They are not a top 5 team probably closer to the 10-15 range. They are not walking into the Alerus and putting up any where near 30 points. UND fans need not worry about tomorrow.
