  1. None of the former NCC DI schools dare place Mankato, Augustana, or Northern State on their schedules because it is much too high a risk of getting a loss.

    I'm sorry, but I really have to call you on this one... What about Mayville and Jamestown on UND's schedule then?

  2. I just think it would be interesting to put the numbers on what it costs to deliver education via traditional and online methods, and then fund accordingly. It looks like the legislature is looking at differet funding models for higher education (again), hopefully they can make hash out a funding formula that makes sense.

    :D :D :D :D :D

    now that there's funny. i don't care who you are.

  3. Wouldn't that be too much for too small a market? Quebec I think would be better.

    far enough apart with an international border in between. might be a great location to help grow college hockey in the northwest. also heard that Markham, Ontario (Toronto suburb) is looking to build an NHL arena.

  4. i appreciate that they hold down the population of garbage birds, like pigeons. I would seriously doubt they do as much 'damage' to the large bird population (ducks, geese. pheasants) as they do to pigeons, sparrows, etc. holds down the spread of avian flu maybe?

  5. something isn't right. you have zero wins in the last fours games and yet have supposedly played well in three of them. that doesn't add up. if you play well and all you can do is get a tie, that isn't good. where are we going to turn it on in the next month? realistically split,split,split, sweep, split and that leaves you in a must win situation going into the wcha tournament. this team is doing itself no favors right now. you might not win titles in january, but you sure as hell can put yourself ina positon to not win one.

    Played well in three of "them" being games or periods? No disrespect intended. Just not sure what you mean.

    Looking at the Latest Pairwise rankings, I looked at how future NCHC and Big 10 schools were doing this year. Here's what I found:

    2. Minnesota (Big10)

    7. W. Michigan (NCHC)

    9. St. Cloud (NCHC)

    10. N. Dakota (NCHC)

    13. Denver (NCHC)

    t21. Neb. Omaha (NCHC)

    23. Wisconsin (Big10)

    24. Ohio St. (Big 10)

    Can someone explain to me how the Big 10 is going to be a better than the NCHC??!!

    When they start playing each other for two series a year, at least 2 or 3 of the 6 teams will give the other 3 or 4 lots of wins.

    The biggest way the BTHC is better than the National Conference is in the member schools' name recognition for those who do not follow hockey (which unfortunately for the NCHC is most of the country).

    The conference scheduling will also be hard on the rankings of the teams in the NCHC due to having to play the best teams in the country week in and week out.

  7. To paraphrase someone's signature line on this board - apologies to the OP for being too lazy to find out who:

    "Success at North Dakota is measured in national championships" Cary Eades.

    By the way, Eades has Sioux Falls in 1st place in the USHL West Division, and they were last last year.

  8. You are prophetic! :)

    It's Niners vs. Ravens, Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh. I am going with the Niners by 7; they have found the right QB and have everything else they need to finish the job this time.

    don't sell the 'one last time for Ray' motivation short. the Ravens has already significantly overachieved since Lewis announced his upcoming retirement.

  9. The Missouri Valley never invited North Dakota. UND turned down the Summit Leauge, which doesn't sponsor football, in favor of the the Big Sky conference.

    The word from Missouri Valley Football Conference Commissioner Patty Viverito upon offering MVFC membership to USD. The MVFC did not want an 11 team league. Also probably a contributing factor to why Nebraska Omaha dropped football (besides the problems with Nebraska Lincoln throwing their weight around)

    U Of South Dakota Football Joining Missouri Valley Conference

    "I didn't have the votes to get an 11-team league approved with North Dakota as part of the package," Viverito said.

  10. Why all this talk . . . why doesn't NDSU just schedule a game with a top 25 team? OH, they did . . . next Aug 31st at Kansas State. Fair enough?

    I see Kansas State is picked 7th in the Big 12 next year (out of 10 teams). Can you guys just admit/laugh about the the fact that Gene Taylor has the magic touch when it comes to scheduling FBS games? Its almost unbelievable how it works out. They go from Top 5 in the country to 7th in the Big 12 (out of 10 teams).

    And when the game was scheduled, wasn't K State 5 & 7? (5th out of 6 in the Big 12 North)

    Thank you for playing. Vanna, do you have a parting prize for our contestant?

  11. So, instead they can substitute "FCS" for "I-AA"? There is no difference in the level of competition. The student athletes aren't stupid. They know.

    However, it is deceptive to the general public. "Living a lie" as Lou Holtz used to say. It needs to be changed back.

    1. New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:

    "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.."

    2. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D:

    "Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."

    3. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins:

    "He treat us like mens. He let us wear earrings."

    4. Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann:

    "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

    5. Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach:

    "You guys line up alphabetically by height.."

    And,

    "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle."

    6. Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh :

    "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes.."

    (Now that is beautiful)

    just kidding....... :bigsmile:

  12. There was a consolidation of North and South Dakota to eliminate redundancies on the map. ;)

    maybe a validation that there is only one university in all of 'Dakota' that really matters, especially on an international scale. :D

  13. I don't really post on bisonville anymore, so I wouldn't know how UND fans are treated there.

    I don't think it's a UND thing honestly. Bisonville has become a place where a select group of people turn every thread into an inside joke. Hard to even have a conversation over there and that's why I stopped posting. This group of guys isn't really welcoming to any opinions so I wouldn't take it personal.

    Interesting that even a former Bison player find ss.com a better place to post and feel more freedom to express opinions, even when we tend to jump on him for some of his more trollish posts. Congratulations to the moderators for keeping things civil, even for non-Sioux fans.

  14. ... without Hansen I believe we would have had at least one more loss (Montana) putting us at a minimum of 4-7 with one win a DII. ...

    or ........ maybe there would have been one more victory - Northern Colorado for a 6 - 5 season.

    Hendrickson was impressive when he was on the field.

  15. Shaping up to be a great Saturday for sports:

    12:00 Watch FCS Championship - Root for the team with the fewest criminals on the field

    2:00 Watch UND Women's Basketball Game - Root for the best women's division I BB team in ND

    7:00 Watch UND Men's Hockey - Root for the team with the most Division I championships in ND

    8:00 Watch Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers football - Root for the team not wearing green and yellow.

    Are you confident we know which team this is? Since SHSU is on the other side of the country, this might not be as clear as we think. just sayin'...
