[Big Sky or Summit/Valley?]

Be honest, which would you REALLY be in?

The local media in my area are hammering UND for the move and were hammering USD and said they hoped USD was bluffing just to get the MVFC's attention. I told them that the UND fanbase is happy w/ the move and they told me that the fanbase is just basically pretending to be happy and making the best of their situation.

I understand you're first off just happy to be in a conference, period. Interested to hear some of your thoughts on the Big Sky versus the Summit/Valley.

[Sioux vs Bison]

There seems to be a lot of predictions similar to this among Bison fans. I have seen anywhere from 20-40 point blowout.

One question: you do realize your team sucked last year, right? Their record was 11-18 with the best win of the season coming vs. 14-16 SDSU. Oh wait, thats right, I keep forgetting that you had the best recruiting class in Summit League history and your program is rich with tradition.

Seriously Bison fans, can you at least be realistic. I know UND is way down but c'mon. Plus, the game is being played in the Dome which will change things.

NDSU looks pretty tough this year. They are #24 in the mid-major poll (SDSU is #25) and their only loss was in OT to Oregon.

After watching a marginal IPFW team beat UND by 10 I would say NDSU wins by 15-30.
