if you swing for the fences every time and strike out every time, what are you left with when they all commit up and fcs caliber athletes are all snapped up?

wild bills?

speaking of senseless, pointless, and incredibly unclever trolling: http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/18408-another-bison-arrested/page__st__20

ummm, what?

looks like we got a good one there

buy sell sell

How was that trolling, I was just pointing out an obvious truth that darrell refused to grasp. The second post shouldn't even have been necessary.

because UND is not John Hopkins. UND is not a peer of Big 10 schools, John Hopkins is.

no, it really didn't. Your points just weren't very good. None of that matters and noone cares, and both NDSU and SDSU treat it accordingly.

if you can't tell the difference between letting John Hopkins affiliate and letting UND affiliate.... By big10 standards, UND hockey revenue is pocket change.

whats always perplexed me is why team A gets 200k and team b gets 500k. If FCS teams are so uncompetitive and uninteresting, they would be interchangeable for the most part, so why would certain teams be paid so much more? Geography would be the only thing i can think of to explain it, but that doesn't seem to help. oh well good for USD, they need it.

I think they would have been very heavy favorites in a hypothetical matchup last year, and I think they are borderline FCS top-5 this year. If the run D isn't much improved, it won't be a game. I'm going to sdsu-UNL because i think sdsu has a credible (but not great) shot.

i think sdsu will be the toughest challenge. (MVFC bias blah blah blah) and yes I buy 4-2.

buy on mollberg, sell on 3-0 (loss to sdsu imo), buy on both attendance questions, buy on Muss still having a job, sell on 1,000 yd rusher, buy on 3 FR starters buy or sell: UND is 4-2 or better on october 13th (valpo, sdsu, um, msu, isu, ewu)

i figured there would be more long term employees, but at least this should have a pretty good wage profile, similar to crystal sugar or better. Are they going to build man-camps for some of these temp workers? That would be alot of workers for grand forks to have to absorb and then promptly lose.

that is a big deal right there.

i think most summit supporters would also like douple gone. better conference at what? certainly certainly not basketball, and I think it would be pretty tough to argue football at this point. anyway, if NDSU, SDSU, and USD were to join the BSC, the bigsky instantly becomes extremely unstable. NDSU and SDSU would be two of the top 3 programs in the sky right now, and if UND can take the next step next year, we could be in a situation where three of the top4 schools in the bigsky are actually some fringe bunch of midwestern schools. I bet NAU and Sac st etc etc would really love flying to the dakotas twice a year for an automatic beatdown. Until there is a fully dakota-centric multisport conference, all the dakota schools, including UND, will be nothing but a source of instability for any conference they are in.

yes, from my understanding they have a very good one.

I think thats a stretch until Williams is gone, since he is imo the best prospect since kleinsasser out of the ND schools. He certainly has the gifts to make it true though. I was really surprised my hardin's size when I first me him last summer. Even for his height he is very lightly built by football standards.

http://www.msumavericks.com/coaches.aspx?rc=283&path=football is in town tonight, and apparently interviewing. ran a strong rushing attack at mankato from what I understood.

i've had a good meals at the italian place in the alerus complex (it's name currently escapes me) and at eagles crest, though i would put both in a rung slightly below sanders, guisseppes, and the frog. I've been pretty pleased with the new sushi place on 3rd, though being fairly ignorant of sushi, I won't go and lump it in with the rest. iirc, significant portions of downtown chicago and san fransisco, and probably many other cities, are built on old garbage piles. NYC has an entire borough that was dominated by a city dump for most of its modern history.

first off, 300 last year and 400 *proposed* this year is two years, not one, and so far ground has been broken on roughly none of those 400 proposed units. I haven't lived in fargo in a decade, I'm sure someone around here can IP check me if it's such a big deal for you.

ah, its the new crosstown. I'll have to investigate. While the loft is nice i do miss the old place . wow, they're building.... a strip mall, and can't find any better commercial uses for land next to a sport stadium than... residential. Sometimes i wonder if any of you have spent time in a city other than grand forks.
