With Trump's win, the DAPL will surely go through. The stock of the majority owner, Energy Transfer Partners, jumped 15% today after the Trump win. Trump, when he was at the Bakken Conference in Bismarck last May, said he would authorize the Keystone XL Pipeline, so that may coming back to life.

So your saying something is up with Mo St, Youngstown or W Ill. Show your links or it is just fluff. Patty hasn't said or written squat, but you still take Faison's word that they have been communicating two ways. North Dakota people are some of the most gullible and trusting in authority anywhere. That's not the way the world works unfortunately.

You never been able to think your way out of a paper bag, so it's not surprising that you don't follow logic.

Faison is trying to get Patty Viverito to say UND doesn't have the votes for the MVFC. So far she hasn't bit. She didn't respond respond by the Nov 1st deadline, so Faison got the deadline moved. Now with the story in the press, trusted MVFC gurus like Kolpack or McFeely will call Patty up and get a response. Faison knows it will be a "no" and then the WAC talk can proceed. Kennedy knows how to cover the basics, as a WAC realignment/cost cutting move wouldn't get support unless the MVFC option was publically dead.

I asked for emails from Bresciani in a FOIA case about the Sioux name, because I strongly suspected he was a culprit too in the case of the Slummit. Received a response from NDSU after a couple days that he didnt have any emails fitting the criteria. Shortly thereafter, heard from the media he had deleted all his emails. I was nearly strung up by NDSU fans for my opinions, but Bresciani has a lot in common with Hillary. Faison knows what's going on. He didn't forward emails because he didn't have any. Faison isn't honorable as he proved in the Sioux nickname case. Kennedy and other Presidents actually initiate conference changes, not ADs. That is Conference Change 101, but Miller etc al and most posters and fans don't understand basics and aren't critical thinkers. I'll be proven right before it's over. Trust a NMSU coaches innocent comments more than our AD's supposed tests. Just the way it is and should be. Faison should not be trusted, but of course Bizons do when it suits them.

There are no private schools in the MVFC and it is not part of the MVC officially. Why would the MVFC move to 11 SCHOOLS? Headaches in scheduling ABOUND? NDSU's vote can't hide behind private schools. Don't think there is any question that we'd be welcomed by the Slummit. Maybe they ask us to bring baseball back. But we'do get in if we asked.

I could sent a text message to the Big 12 commish. Does that mean in Miller's eyes that I have been communicating with the Big 12 if there is no evidence of a return text? Show a return text, and then maybe I'll believe. Bresciani votes on MVFC membership issues. File a FOIA on him. He and Taylor have wanted to screw UND football forever. A vote in favor of UND to the MVFC is nearly impossible. Why would the MVFC want 11 teams? E Ill is not wanted. Nor are SEMO St, Murray St, Lindenwood Mankato, or Grand Valley St to make 12.

No doubt the Slummit would offer us. But the MVFC doesn't want 11 schools and NDSU doesn't want to play us. This move by Faison will prove that the MVFC won't play ball with us. The MVFC has to accept us or else the Slummit bid is rejected. Or else football must be homeless. The only saving grace will be a realigned WAC with the Montanas and Idaho. That is the intent of Faison texts. Just wait and see.

AD's don't negotiate conference changes. Presidents do. The Commissioners don't make any decisions. Presidents do. This is a BS article and a ploy to make a WAC change.

After Bartles threw that INT, thought it would be a long day. But the defense and OL stepped up and dominated. Congrats to this team and good luck next week.

So UND engineering, NDSU engineering, and the UND Med School will jointly be offering Biomedical Engineering Masters and PhDs programs in 2017. Guess the Era of cutbacks is Over? What is Jack Weinstein going to do, as he's whined about Kennedy pushing too many trade school programs, as he equates engineering as a trade. Don't think philosophy grads are remotely as educated in mathematics or science, but they can be awfully refined at PC skills. Now UND needs to offer aeronautical engineering and geophysics.

A crowd of 780 is unacceptable for the Big Sky leaders.

In the FSN broadcast, sounded like Pryor was going to recruit Serbia hard now, after being exposed to the play of Merseli and Tepavac and now he has connections and Serbians that can now vouch for UND. He likes their aggressive style of play in that part of Europe. Merseli is just an all around beast out there on both the D and O.

Many of the teams above us will lose a game before the playoffs start, as their not immune to upsets. UND needs to keep winning. If UND had beaten Stony Brook or BGSU, we'd be in the top 10, but that doesn't guarantee anything. Just win baby!

Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas A&M Kingsville, which are like 50 miles apart, are in merger talks. Kingsville is DII but has a large football stadium > 15k, while Corpus is DI with no football. If the schools merged, as it would have more than 20k students, it would be a natural if it moved to FBS.

If UND had played NDSU earlier, we might have lost. If a team is improving faster than others over a season, wins should come easier. That is what is happening. By comparison against a team at the same venue, UND should overpower USD now. Volleyball is more predictable based on power ratings than most sports.

Going to inject some international relations into this thread. Russia depends on oil and nat gas for its economic lifeblood. Its nat gas pipelines to Europe are a major source of cash and a source of power, as they can threaten to shutdown much of Europe with a closed valve. The war in Syria may have been brought about by pipeline wars between Qatar/Saudi, which wants a nat gas pipeline through Syria and Turkey to Europe, and Russia/Iran, which don't want another one, as they would be weakened and grow poorer. Qatar has massive nat gas reserves, but needs to liquefy almost all to export it currently. Since Assad in Syria needed to go to get the Qatar/Saudi pipeline built there (Assad has long been supported by Russia), the Syrian government needed to be overthrown. Interesting that Wikileaks showed that Qatar and the Saudis gave the Clinton's boatloads of money, perhaps on the condition that the US help them reach their pipeline goal. The formation of ISIS was probably a Saudi, Qatari, and US goal that went terribly wrong, as ISIS turned on Iraq rather than much of Assad's western Syria. Russia moved in to protect Assad, but mainly to protect its economic status through pipelines. Russia is only friendly with Iran because they both distrust the Qatari s, Saudis, and American. It is economic survival that Russia seeks, and that means stopping a Saudi/Qatari pipeline through Syria and Turkey to Europe. The Saudis responded by not limiting OPEC production, which lowered energy prices all over the world. Always been told by the media that the Saudis wanted to kill US shale oil, which may be partially true, but their real economic rival in energy is Russia, and natural enemy Iran, and all have the desire to feed Europe energy. This Pipeline war has spilled over to the US DAPL, as Russians interests allied with Buffett, environmentalists, libtard's, and Indians want to stop it. And here the Democrats are spouting off about how the Russians are interfering with US elections, but most of them support killing DAPL, which is what Russians and probably even the Saudis want. None of them have US interests at heart.

NDSU swept USD in Fargo the other night. Why is that Significant? USD and Denver have been the only decent teams in the Slummit this year, plus USD beat UND rather handily earlier. Since UND swept NDSU last week, the comparison with USD becomes much more favorable now. Appears UND is becoming stronger as the season progresses. Merseli and Fraase have become recent BSC defensive players of the week, with Merseli, Brueggeman and Kaczorowska have really stepped up their outside hitting, and with Griffin, Dooley, and Moser being their unusual stellar contributors, this team should be on to the NCAA'S. With Moser the only senior, next years team should be the most powerful team ever at UND. Enjoy the shows this Thursday and Saturday.

After the pipeline is almost complete, Obama wants the route changed? This will end up costing billions. The only way it gets finished is if Warren Buffett friends are voted out.

This article said Putin allies and Warren Buffett had defeated Keystone and the proposed Sandpiper pipeline which would have run by Grand Forks and Northern Minnesota and their anti-pipeline activities would continue. Funny how the protesters are protesting against Big oil, but not against Huge Money interests. The anti-pipeline money was even allied with Native American groups then. No wonder the anti-DAPL people have been so coordinated and money doesnt seem to be a problem. Guess the protesters buttons are just so easily pushed, as they have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. http://www.cfact.org/2015/05/20

The Alumni Association is planning a party at the Heartland Brewery in the Empire State Building.

SDSU has a history of good attendance when the weather cooperates, and bad attendance in cold wet weather. In 2014, they had 3k for W Ill and 10k for USD both in November. SDSU's bid will have a lot of risk associated with it. Domed stadiums in the north are not so risky as open ones for bidding purposes.

Ballot stuffing is probably pretty rampant. But still amazed that the Standing Rock Protesters seem to have so much support on Facebook. Lutheran ministers are appalled at ND for its racial injustice now, Europeans on Facebook fully support the SR cause, black friends wonder why the SR views aren't heard, and libtard's all over want to give SR protesters money. There has been big protests for SR in Seattle New York, and San Francisco, trying to get banks from lending money for the pipeline. It has turned into a big deal. Who came up with the $2.5 mill for bail money, including an attempted murder charge? It's a Cause Celebre movement now, much as Ferguson was, based on lies.

So 75% of GFH readers support the Standing Rock Protesters? It reminds me when Obama was first running and everyone was supporting him, not based on character or the substance of what he said, but based on his skin color and white guilt that has been imposed on our society. Standing Rock should and could be a viable economic district, but it's more like an inner city where government policy makes them wards of the rez. That's what needs changing. Native -Americans were merchants and traders in their day, and the feds have systematically eliminated that trait from reservations. Support of the NoDAPL is very strong in the country because of ignorance and white guilt, and wouldn't be surprised if Washington stops it, even though it has already been 95% completed. After all, everything Indians propose is pro-environment and inherently right.

Somebody is laying down good money. Jesse Jackson doesn't show up without appearance fees, just like Bill Clinton.
