As I recall Utah State lost their bowl game last year. I went to grad school at USU...they usually stunk when I was there.

I did not see Southern Utah getting handled by Utah State to the extent they were. Utah State is a low end FBS team.

On a related topic, we all know what the viewing optins or likely viewing options for all of the football games except San Diego State, of which there don't seemto be any. Would anyone care to speculate or better yet have any knowledge of options that might become available as the date of this game draws closer? ESPN3 maybe?

Personally, I like fans of other teams logging in, for the most part. There have been some noteable exceptions. I suppose there are as many reasons for Bison fans logging in as Bison fans that log in. Those reasons range from wanting a stimulating discussion to having no life.

Huh?

A team from Cedar City, Utah is actually our biggest rival at this point in time. buy/sell

Well that is relevant news. Does that involve registering at each university's website, or do you suppose the UND road game feeds would be picked up by UND Insider?

Its a bit of a quandry, seems you need to have both Midco and Directv (or dishnetwork) to get all the available broadcasts, or just hope that at the last minute there will be some notice that a game you would not otherwise get will be webcast. I get Midco here in southeast SD so I get the hockey games and most of the football, but I would also like to get Root. Since UND is in the Big Sky all the games are of interest, even the ones UND is not playing in. Very hard to plan for receiving webcasts since they typically are not announced until just a few days before a game.

This thread died without resolving a question posed by another poster as to the broadcasting of certain games by Root Sports, most noteably the U Montana fb game. Does anyone know whether this gane and other Root broadcasted games would be webcast by UND Insider? How about Midcontinent, would midco be given the option of carrying certain games (since the don't carry a Root channel)?

By al that is sacred can the mudslinging and bickering over the Sioux name/logo stop? its been almost a month sonce the vote.

I would also like to see USD vs UND re-established since I live in Vermillion and love watching the TTFKATFS beating the Coyotes in the DakotaDome.

Here is a stat for you...UND's record against those teams last year was 1-0. UND also has alot of returning talent to match up with the returnees from those teams. The rest of your post amounts to unsubstantiated assertion.

Good questions that I'd also like to know the answers to...... Anyone?

For those of us that don't live in the GF area its a bit of a wait. Kinda hard to get totally engrossed in pratice games from afar. The SD MInes game will be much the same ..kinda like a televised exhibition game.

Hey, I am a UND alum and didn't get a vote because I live in South Dakota. Here is one thing a have to say though....thanks to the NDSU people that did the right thing and voted "yes".

x2

In five years ndsu will probably be in the Big Sky. SDSU and USD...maybe.

So, fill me in on the details concerning Sac St fans and media. Could be the start of a rivalry and I wanna know all about it.

A conference record including the Portland State game of better than 500 will be a good season considering we have never experienced the grind of playing Big Sky opponents every week. I would also like to see us beat Montana more than any other team...the griz are the conference champs and we have more of a history with them than anyone else.

Let me see if I can clear things up a bit. There ain't no double negatives that are clearly understood with difficulty. Glad I could help.

This sentence is a train wreck. What is accredition? Somehow I doubt your position on the name and logo is any better considered than is this post.

This statement is as concise, to the point, and accurate as any comment I've seen regarding the consequences of a "no" vote. Not only will UND be playing the likes of Mayville State alot, but they will lose to these teams as often as not. Keeping the name/logo is not an option if you are a fan of UND teams. I would vote "yes" if I could but I am out of state, but I ask ND residents to do what is right, especially you NDSU people. Let's get the old rivalry going and once going lets keep it vital.

I voted 4th but with the core of last year's team back and with a dramatically improved passing game the Sioux (or whomever) will be a challenge to everyone they play...or at least have the potential to be. Injuries and the grind of playing conference games every week will be potential jokers.

Other than in hockey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa have all blacklisted UND. Saying that the Big Sky would not retract UND membership only makes sense if it can be demonstrated that the mindset demonstrated by these three schools is restricted to the upper Midwest, a proposition that I find preposterous.

The June vote is critical. I'm a UND alumnus but don't live in ND anymore. Do you people in ND have a sense as to how the voting is going to go?
