Very nice. Hope they can put it together.

The Saints were in La Crosse WI for a while now they are in VA--- http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2014/07/04/new-orleans-saints-to-move-training-camp-to-the-greenbrier/12226821/

I wouldnt consider it shady spending when he notified everyone he should have. Plus I dont understand the up roar over him not wanting to basically sit in the back seat of a VW Beetle on a trip to the other side of the earth. But I guess you gotta harp about something.

At one time most training camps were held away from the hometown. Now a days I dont know anymore.

They have practice facilities off of 169 and 494 now but still use Mankato for prefall. Why would that change?

Now Im going to have to look it up. Damn. Ok here we go---- 4-18 against "Slummit" teams since moving to DI, and 1-10 since joining the mighty big sky.

Im not versed in this subject and I always wondered how this works. Your companies position Seems reasonable to me.

Because I knew you were going to ask. But thats beside the point. The point is Its weird to have someone say that the Summit is trash as SV said when you have a losing record against that conference. Just saying. Now I know SV was trolling but I couldnt help myself.

Boring but predictable answer (bonus points for you for knowing FargoU has a basketball team!). What time frame? 4-18. Time frame? Ahhh the old qualifier. How predictable.

I dont think I mentioned RPI. But if you want to be my guest.

Lets try MBB

Whats your record against the teams in the Summit?

At one time Mankato had a pretty good football team back in the NCC days.

Thats what happens when you dont play well with others.

Cant answer for the school. So why even ask me? But I would say no. Not in our foot print. Plus when the shake out occurs there might be better opportunities. But we would be stuck in the Sun Blah. Then have to pay exit fees etc. I dont think you move up just to move up so you can say your FBS. Too many considerations. Is the move good for the school? Is it a good move for our program? Etc etc etc. We are in a pretty solid spot for all of our sports right now and in a better bargaining position if an opportunity arises that works for us...

Why would have NDSU have been chosen when they showed no interest? Wow--------Your really stretching Waaaaaaaay out there. LOL. But I do understand this is what you wish will happen. In reality not likely.

The Gateway? Wasnt that a conference about 10-11 years ago? The MVFC seems pretty good. What five teams in the playoffs this year with the National Champion again from the conference. Plus when the shake out does occur I doubt that the whole conference would transition. Just like The MVFC. I doubt WIU, MSU and ISUb wouldnt be moving up. So we just might let you join us.

Interesting. But what makes you think they have to join your scenario? Why wouldnt you have to join NDSU and some other MVCF teams? Its not like youve been tearing it up lately.

IF we decided to go with hockey I couldnt see NDSU going in to it with a half ass approach.

I understand all of that---but---Thats all logistics and has nothing to do with the question.

The question was could we be competitive. Hire a great coach and get good players. . Of course it would take sometime---But---Why couldnt they? The rest of your post has nothing to do with the question.

Of course they could be competitive.

Many bandwagon fans turn in to real fans. Everyone here jumped on the wagon at some point.

The flag waver was stupid and so was the radio station.

This subject has been beaten to death. You can add seats but it isnt economically feasible. To do so at the dome you would also knock them out of business for 2 years far any major renovations... I could go on but its not " ok cool" Its more ....It is what it is. Until opportunities present themselves. I
