Yeah, from the sounds of things there, it sounds like the administration, and its brand spanking new president there, decided that they really didn't want the football team around anymore. They used the figures they had when from a year when they were flying out to the NCC schools every other weekend and tried to make it look like they using the economic downturn to ax the program. I recommend taking a look at their website, and browsing some of the emails they've gotten from the administration. Seems their new president was kinda miffed about not having a big fancy welcoming ceremony thrown in his honor when he came to WWU. Personally, I wouldn't mind giving him an old fashion ceremony myself. One that involves a long 4x4, a couple of large lads, some rope and the moving of procidings to somewhere out of town.

I'm hoping for Grand Rapids.

GVSU over UND in the regional finals.... oh wait, wrong sport.

Well played game guys, Closest game all year at Lubbers for GVSU. Its kinda rare for the whole crowd to get up at the start of the fourth quarter, and then stay to cheer instead of leaving to defrost themselves.

GV might have to sweet talk the GLIAC into moving a league game around perhaps, but it's not totally out of the realm of possiablities. If I remember correctly, during the first part of UND's transition, you'll still count as a D2 team for GV, playoff-wise.

An Idea I had from watching Caveman, the TV show. Switch you name to the North Dakota Fighting Cavemen. Then you guys can go out and be as bad as you wanna be. Mascot with a loin cloth on and club, students given out foam spirit clubs, and loud chants of "Oook! Oook!"

I must have missed that somehow. Yeah, Thanksgiving, State HS FB Championships in Detroit with a GR local team and well, being freakin' cold and windy never helps attendence. If it wasn't for the drive and the noise nearly made my head explode in 2004, I don't think I would have mind playing in the AL today.

Grand Valley's Scout.com site, GVReport.com, is also doing a look back at the past games between GVSU and UND. And thanks to Scout.com making this week all free access, you guys can enjoy all the good stuff there as well. GVReport.com

As far as I know, yes, but at the moment, haven't found a lot of takers. Oh and yeah, check the blog..... http://blog.siouxsports.com/

Yeah, to tell ya the truth, I was at that USD at Northwood game, and I'm still scratching my head about how Northwood pissed down their leg that day and let that game get away from them. Coyotes weren't that good last year. GVSU did play several teams when they were ranked at the time, the problem is after some of our league members play GVSU, they tend to play in a funk the next couple of weeks. Case in point, Michigan Tech. One week after the GVSU scores on their schedual, you'll see that they got shut out by Hillsdale. And GVSU was going to play Ashland, but that game was canceled due to lightning. Part of the GLIAC's problem has been that its a large conference with an odd number of teams. Some team's we just don't play in a given season, and given that we play 10 league games with bye weeks throughtout the season for the league members. Makes it awfully hard for our league members to schedual non-conference games for everybody. which pretty much leads to the league having a SOS of around .500. Secondly, not a whole lot of D2 teams out there really want to step it up and want to schedual us in non-con game. We had supposedly had a deal two years ago to play Central Missouri, but they backed out of it. Plus, we did have New Haven schedualed for 2004-05, but they went and dropped their program in the summer, and nobody else had a date open that day. Its not like we don't want to play any good teams NC teams, we just haven't had anybody that really wants to play us. One last thing, at the moment, I don't believe GVSU has anybody schedualed for a Non-conference game next year. Any chance the Sioux are still looking for games yet?

Crap schedual?? The GLIAC does us no favors when it comes to SOS. We went undefeated again this year and pretty much had no shot at getting the one seed in the region because the NCC has better SOS because you guys play non-conference games. And well, there's just not a whole lot of teams out there in D2 that are lining up to play GVSU right now anyways.

Cold Beer and plenty of it. And if you do it SiouxMeNow, I'll even let you have some of my Pulled Pork BBQ.

Actually, I believe that is Indiana HS football championships I believe. Haven't heard about anything here on our end about broadcasting the game.

The Monster will be there!!! You can start cowering in fear now! Oh yeah, Free Beer to whoever drags Diggler out of his momma's basement and brings him along.

and you didn't come over once to say, "My name is Sioux! How do you do??"

Y'all ain't done with D2 yet. Ya got one more go around in the D2 playoffs, and the smart money would have the Sioux hooking up with the Lakers of Grand Valley State University. Our Caliber of play is just fine thank you very much.

I don't whant to know anything about your second job there SMN.

I don't know if its made it over here or not, but I thought I would throw it out there anyways. Keep her away from the Stanford Tree. Needless to say, IUP has egg on their face with changing their name to Crimson Hawks.

You do know you're still on my list for not coming up to me and saying, "My name is Sioux! How do you do??" That, and I had a beer waiting for ya in my pocket.

Freakin busted coverage and tackle!! Eh, its been a rough week. Yeah, still upset about 2001. Personally, I wouldn't mind one more meeting between GVSU and UND, even have it up in Grand Forks as well. Somebody's gotta beat ya in the playoffs in the Alerus.

Right, people have been saying it works to GVSU's avantage because UND is a Dome team. Its not like you guys really practice all the time in there.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I've never used it this season, but from what I've heard, it should work that way.

I believe that Auggy has already applied for membership to the NSIC already, and word has that the 3 Minnesota schools have been trying to talk the GLIAC into letting them in, and splitting it into divisions for football, as how the rest of the GLIAC sports are. I like the idea, and I've heard that the UP schools are pretty keen on the idea, Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan, and Lake Superior State*Non-Football*. Its only problem has been that the other schools think it would involve too much travel, especially for their other sports.

Just letting you guys know, I'm only a member of the said group, but I don't do any of the poking and harrassing. I only know what they've said on their little MB there. I perfer to only raise hell amoung other fans, not the players.
