The only thing Northern runs circles around USD and SDSU is basketball attendance

Tougher? Yes But the expectation will be that both teams will be in the mix year 1. If both team hit the bottom of the league standings, then discussions need to be had to improve the situation. If your team is the best and plays like the better team this won't matter as much. Ask our Bison friends about that. If they can do it, we can do it.

The two matchups today Nova vs TTU Nova is the best team left in the tournament and showed against West Virginia that they have an 2nd gear that most teams left in the field just don't have. TTU has a great defense that has gotten them farther than any team in their history, the question will be can their defense do enough to keep their offense in the game? I think Nova will be too much Duke vs KU If you are looking for a blueblood heavyweight fight, then turn your attention to Omaha. Two great coaches (K vs Self), two of the best players in the nation (Bagley III vs Graham). KU is the more veteran team, Duke is the more talented team, but they are freshman. To me, it comes down to how well Duke plays defense and how well their most hated player since Laettner plays. If Duke has both things going, they are advancing. If not, its Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Expect a classic, with Duke moving on with a buzzer beater.

I don't get it either. USD and SDSU have a pretty sweet gig going, why would they want to split it with another school in-state? I hope Summit leadership is thinking bigger than that.

What about Seattle U? If that happened, the WAC would be in major trouble.

Didn't they put a bunch of money into their Football program not too long ago? Is there real steam to this or is this just the SF media really being hopeful......

What's Augie going to do with FB if they move up?

Now I have that Allman Brothers song stuck in my head Congrats to the Ramblers.

wondering how much the MVC is loving the fact that their addition of Loyola has paid off in a big way.

Sounds like USD might need a new coach. Smith might be heading out to Utah State

Don't you think that if the Summit really wanted UND to bring back baseball they would have made it a requirement for UND to enter the league? They will solve that issue by adding a team (when, TBD) On an unrelated note, is Men's Golf going to make it past this year?

I don't find it very likely Jones gets the Drake job this time around. If we flip his record to 20-12 and a deep BSC tourney run... maybe. Horner on the other hand... has a 2% greater chance than Jones in getting the job. If it came down to those two, I'd think they would take Horner over Jones (but I think its a 3% and 1% chance of happening). If Jones did somehow get the job, he probably would take Horner with him. Now the curious thought is about Dave Thorson, will Drake just turn the job to him (he is the current interim coach) or will they go in a different direction. If so... where would he go next?

Any interested in the kid from Perham (Beachy)?

USD is usually pretty strong

Fargo the first time around was so much fun

Well there now there is one gaping hole in the lineup Polanco gets banned for 80 games for PEDs Of course with Sano's ruling on his suspension lurking the Twins could be without their left side of the infield for a good chunk of the season

It happened. a 16 beat a 1

So from a Summit perspective, how do they get to 10? From a Coyote perspective, who would you like to see brought in (realistic or pipedream)

That would also take a TON off of deferred maintenance correct? Wait, new buildings? I thought UND was being bulldozed one building at a time.

About damn time

I would love to come to this one of these years....just won’t be this year. i promise to keep the non-hockey talk to a minimum.
