So, just spitballin' here... if if the Great Northern FBS conference actually happens, NDSU will Not join because they won't play in GF?

Really hope this is the truth... agreed about Studsrud

This comment is priceless: Gotta love rowing.

And Eastern Michigan drops wrestling, men's swimming and diving, softball and women's tennis a the end of the season

Two med schools and two law schools in ND? Unlikely.

Better recruiting, game plan, in-game adjustment, use of personnel equals more wins. it really is simple

This ^^^^^ Not so sure about this ^^^^^

He's not fighting. He's doing a Winnie the Pooh impression and stealing the honey.

That would make the MVFC nervous. 6 football schools in the Summit?

The Big Sky is too big, both in geography and number of institutions (for FCS). i know many on here deride SiouxVolley, but it would be nice if the school presidents had his vision. The research institutions of the northern states really should peel off and form an 8 to 10 team conference of like-minded schools. disclaimer - always liked UND in the Big Sky over the Summit League. Would have preferred that UND stay put in the BSC. On the other hand, restarting rivalries in the Summit is understandable.

Mussman recruited much better qb's. Braden Hansen would probably not come to play under Schweigert and Rudolph.

Just ask Joe Mollberg and Ryan Bartels. Not saying they're the best in the world, but they spent a lot of time either in that position or 'running for their lives'

And in other news, the sun will set in the west tonight

If she secured $30 million for a football stadium before she left, like she did at Stanford, would it be all that bad? Not sayin she should be hired, but there is such a Chaves vs Mannausau discussion going on, there are reasons for each of these candidates to be finalists.

Where will they hear it? Won't be on fb, Twitter or any other social media, I'd be willing to bet.

Great! Bison trolls arguing among themselves on SS

So here is my stupid question... how many of these signees had offers from other schools? Hoe many had only 1 offer (from UND)?

Notwithstanding the current sentiment on this board for creating a Great Northern Conference, doubt that the Montanas and Idaho want to join a center of the country conference when they are the center of the Big Sky Conference (perception-wise if nor geographically). With the problems the Summit has retaining members, maybe the powers that be should hold their nose and merge with the WAC. When Bakersfield leaves the WAC and with the looming threats of Chicago State leaving the WAC and Ft Wayne leaving the Summit, both conferences will be hurting. Realize that many here want nothing to do with Grand Canyon and maybe Cal Baptist, but it may be a way for both conferences to finally find stability. It would stretch from Canada to Mexico and from the Mississippi to the Pacific. Unfortunately, that is a huge footprint, but could have north/south or even east/west divisions. With WAC baseball and soccer, it would also offer enough team sports to avoid the loss of auto-bids when Ft Wayne leaves the Summit. just spitballin' here, 'cause the other alternative seems to be for the Summit to bring in move-ups, since only UND seems to want to move to the Summit instead of out of it.

Got a new gig in Traill County, from what I hear. Don't know if he is double dipping and still has the Steele County one too. Might be too busy to haunt old stomping grounds.

yeah, talk about a tree for a logo

With a busy railroad

On the surface, it appears that SDSU should have a very good chance to beat JMU this weekend. If they then face the Bison in Frisco, they have a winning record against NDSU this year to build on. What better time to make it a sweep for the season? This is what UND should aspire to... Beating the Bison at the top.

Try comprehending what I wrote. I did NOT say UND has to get worse. What I said was why do they (NDSU) have to get worse for UND to get better. btw aren't you the one who doesn't know loose from lose? Or is it taugt from thought? Suggest that you read with more comprehension and maybe make a practice oF proofreading what you write before you post

So, what would be wrong with taking the Bison down from the top? Why do they have to get worse? Would really love to watch UND take down ndsu in the National Championship game.

To paraphrase a not-to-be-named head coach in the Fire and Ice feature... if you don't beat those knuckleheads down south, the season is not a success.
