What kind of TROLLING motor do you use when you fish? If all of the "UND to FBS" talk is all nonsense, then why even spend a second giving it any attention. If one of the goals of SiouxVolley was to bait all the Bison trolls, you have all definitely fell for it hook, line, and sinker!! (Pun intended)!!

BREAKING!!!!!! Nick Schmaltz in returning......for seconds at the Panda Buffet. That General Tso's chicken must have been the deciding factor!!

Try to have a conversation with a Bison fan about mens basketball and see if you can go the entire time without them mentioning RPI. Go ahead I dare ya!! It can't be done!!!

Goofers will still go 0-2 that weekend!!

Make UND Hockey Great Again!!

Not to split hairs.....but you do realize what the S in FBS stand for right? Alright. I'm done with the derailing of this thread. Hope the team gets to go to the White House. Would be pretty sweet!!

I think the NCHC is willing to take the risk of UND being at the Frozen Faceoff the majority of the time. Heck, even if we didn't make it, there would still probably be a couple thousand UND fans there!!

Calling FCS JV is a rip on UND football. That is why I am taking offense to it. It's not the highest level of football in the NCAA, but it is the highest level that UND competes in. In the grand scheme of things in regards to national recognition, FCS Championships are equal to NCAA Hockey National Championships. To get back on topic, I doubt either NDSU or UND will be visiting the White House due both being irrelevant in the minds of the majority of people in the country compared to other sports in the NCAA. I will take your advice and have a beer. Hell of a good idea!!

No, it's ignorant for 2 reasons: 1. You are taking a jab at FCS football not being the top tier level in the NCAA. So while he might have had the intention of taking a shot at NDSU, he is actually ripping FCS football as a whole. The current level that UND plays at as well. So you may as well say that UND is JV in all of its sports other than hockey because they compete in the FCS and play in a mid major conference. 2. Ripping on NDSU after it has won 5 consecutive Football National Championships is pretty pathetic. I am not a Bison apologist, but I think that we can all agree that what they have accomplished in the last 5 years is pretty impressive. I get it that they are our rival and it's always fun making fun of those guys, but when you do so in this case, it just makes you look foolish.

Such an ignorant comment. Hey buddy, UND plays FCS football too. Seriously, statements like these really show the narrow minded, idiotic nature of some of those in the "hockey only" fan base. I get it. You only like UND hockey and don't care for the other sports. But don't rip on FCS football and call it JV. Come on man!!

Just do it after Obummer is outta there.

What a great way for people to accept the new (official) logo....make an unofficial alternate one that people may like more!!

Well there you go!! Get the NCHC back at the X!!

If the BTHC was smart, they would adopt the same type of post season. They have shown that not even a conference Championship game 8 miles from U of M's campus when they are playing in the game can draw a crowd. WCHA made a smart move. We will see I guess ig the BTHC will learn anything from it. Of course from a NCHC fan standpoint, obviously we all hope the BTHC adopts a similar conference playoff so the Frozen Faceoff can move to its rightful place back to St Paul.

So you are telling me the 3rd weekend of March, there will be an empty arena with no tournament being played at it, meanwhile the NCHC is playing its conference tournament across the river in a basketball arena!!

Maybe he identified as having a Uterus that day.

Happy Hawk!!

Pretty much sums up this entire thread!!

BREAKING: Nick Schmaltz to inform UND coaches whether he will come back for his Junior year sometime between now and the beginning of the season. Stay tuned!!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4033095-college-hockey-famed-referee-derek-shepherd-retires-recalls-career Well, now who are we gonna hate?!! One thing you could always count on was if you were going to a Sioux/Gopher game, good ole D. Shephard was going to be out there in the stripes. Definitely added excitement of the game. Lots of people hated him, but I think he embraced the heel status he brought to college hockey officiating.

And, he should have won the Hobey Baker his Sr. year as well!! No argument from me here.

I am sure the Goofer faithful would much rather hang gold banners at the Mooch than maroon ones. How excited are the fans really going to be when they raise that B1G banner to the rafters next year? Sure they won a conference title. But it will be a constant reminder of a season where they missed the NCAA's and their neighbors to the west won the whole thing!!

Wait, threads aren't allowed to go off topic? Do the moderators know about this? Relax man. Scrolling for an extra couple minutes is not going to ruin your day. You got time to look on a message board during the day, you got time to scoll through off topic posts in a thread. Just killing time till the Schmaltz news comes out.

I agree that there was a time where MT and MT St were looking at moving up. One of the reasons that the Big Sky expanded when they did. But I am talking about recently. Has Montana or MT State or any Big Sky School for that matter actually talked about perusing FBS? I guess this tread has been going on for too long that speculation has been accepted as fact!

Thank God we got teams like Bemidji and Minnesota to help our Pairwise ranking!!
