    I believe that is the goal but the Big Sky must ok it!

    And the Summit

    UND can't just declare they are joining a conference, there has to be an invite. Considering the buddy buddy relationship between Faison and Douple, this is not a given  

     

    really hope this is not the goal.

    I watched his press conference and he defiantly was doing the old we let them hang around even though they couldn't carry our jock straps bs.  It's clear that he thinks they gave us everything and we didn't exactly earn it.  Good luck to him, he's a great leader.

    Was it a bitter cover-his-arse lashing out in front of his press corps because they weren't able to generate the offense he thought they 'should' have and barely squeaked out a win over a lowly FCS team?

    Honest question since I did not watch the press conference.

    Y'all may be reading the wrong thing into his comments. Could and Should are not the same thing. Sounds to me like the UND defense forced them out of their game plan,

     

    as in  "We should have thrown 65, 70 times. If we're going to run this system and be married to it, we have to let him go out there and throw five picks."

     

    and "Hats off to North Dakota and their staff for sticking to the gameplan and not panicking,"

  4. Just playing devil's advocate here, because UND being in the Big Sky is the better choice imho, but what happened to the line that non-conference games would be easy to schedule against regional teams since the old NCC rivals are available?

    Chair of the committee asked about going back to division 2....this president Kennedy guy is making quite a name for himself in a small amount of time.

    Cynical, but honest question, since I didn't stay at Holiday Inn Express last night...

     

    is it possible the question about returning to DII  is an attempt to make swimming and diving relevant? that is, after all, a program that has approximately zero chance of bringing UND any national recognition in DI.

     

    i am not on the women's hockey bandwagon by any stretch, but at least they may have a chance to win a DI natty. probably will take a coaching change, like men's hockey and football have had and hopefully men's basketball will have soon.

    Patti Viverito, the head of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, said Tuesday: "I'm not at liberty to have discussions about membership with the press. We're certainly reading the articles coming out of North Dakota with interest."

    Viverito declined to speak about the advantages and disadvantages of the current 10-team member, football-only league.

    Is it possible that the MVFC is looking ahead to losing Yougstown in a trickle-down effect of someone like Cincinnati going to the Big 12, eventually making room for the Penguins in the Ohio Valley or some other eastern conference?

  7. Don't know if I believe this scenario is going to happen, ... But 6 years can be a long time with a lot of changes happening over that length of time. An example is NDSU's move up with UND saying they are not going DI in any other sports than hockey. Then UND moves in less than 6 years. Guessing that not all of the schools being listed here will make the move to a WAC (if that is indeed what happens), ... think South Dakota, Northern Colorado...

    the rest of the story sure makes the Bison trolls spin, though. seems they are often the one resurrecting this thread. :)  makes for fun reading while we wait for football to actually get started.

    A large chunk of them will be in Iowa City, and another large group not going to the game will be at watch parties. I think the number of those fans at the Alerus will be able to be counted on you fingers..

    How are you going to count them after the number gets past 12?

    Lots of UND and North Dakota Alum living in Arizona, especially during the winters.  I think UND would have another "home game" if ASU gets in the NCHC.  I would love to make that trip during the winters!

    Yes, I realize that... as in the 'zona' part of my moniker

    ASU, BGSU, and MSU-M to the NCHC.

    UND as an affiliate to the B1G. 

    :D

    < ducks >
    < runs for the door > 

    Or

     

    BGSU and MnState to NCHC and let ASU go to the WCHA.

    The Sun Devils really don't bring anything to the table for the NCHC. Yes, Understand they are a P5 school, but hockey will not be a priority, and isn't that what the NCHC was supposed to be about?

     

    :D
