Didn’t know Horace had a HS once. How quaint if they name the new one Horace High.

SIU and eastern schools of Stony Brook and UMBC which were affiliated dropped men’s tennis so the other MVC schools were forced to move for that sport. The Summit was a convenience, nothing more. Tennis and and swimming aren’t team sports, so gaining them don’t protect the autobid for NCAA purposes

The MVFC is not part of the MVC. If they added another fb school like Murray St and incorporated the MVFC into the MVC, that would change things. Any prospective FCS conference needs six football playing schools to be considered a football conference by the NCAA. The MVFC is a single sport conference. Its strange that both Montanas play W Illinois this year and next. Almost like the Montanas want to form a football playing FCS conference.

Anyone planning to go to Buffalo for the Canisius series should probably plan soon, as less than 1800 seats are available for the games. https://buffalonews.com/2018/08/28/canisius-college-and-harborcenter-extend-agreement-through-2023/

Middle Tennessee St and a number of other southeastern schools are moving up to ACHA DII. https://rutherfordsource.com/mtsu-hockey-joins-southeastern-collegiate-hockey-conference/ MTSU and Vanderbilt play at the Predators practice faculty, Ford Ice Center. That center has limited seating at its two rinks (<500 at each), so they would have to play elsewhere if they want to go varsity. https://www.nhl.com/predators/fordicecenter

So a new High School will be voted on for the West Fargo/Horace district at the end of September to be located in the Horace area. West Fargo will need more rinks. https://www.west-fargo.k12.nd.us/Page/6505

Cent Arkansas is moving men’s soccer from the MVc to the Sun Belt. https://www.fox16.com/news/state-news/sun-belt-conference-adds-uca-as-associate-member-in-men-s-soccer/1460030358 Normally wouldn’t post such a mundane move such as this, but it goes to show what a predicament the Summit is in. UCA was one of the few available DI men’s soccer teams floating around the midsection of the country to backfill when the Summit loses PUFW, and now they are gone. The MVC and MAC are both down to six members, the minimum required for an autobid. Since the MVC needs men’s soccer for their men’s B.B. autobid, they will get one at any cost if it comes to that. Augustana won’t count for five years, UNC doesn’t have one, so that only leaves UMKC. But since PUFW also has baseball, UNC is practically the only option for that. The Summit needs to sponsor football so it can do away with the baseball and men’s soccer sponsoring requirements and keep its dance bid.

Amazon Go supposedly opening 3000 stores by 2021. Grand Forks should be on the list. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/19/amazon-is-reportedly-planning-up-to-3000-cashierless-stores-by-2021.html

But yet you still post and yet your AD still talks FBS.

If a name a P5 team was undefeated, all of the sudden it would be receiving major votes after a big win. Texas has more votes than North Texas, even though Texas has lost to pathetic Maryland and North Texas is undefeated and annihilated Arkansas. BYU was not undefeated. Okla St got a major ranking increase after beating Boise St. Boise is almost the only G5 school that gets recognition by sportswriters, even in a loss.

http://www.compughterratings.com/FCS/rankings Heres an FCS composite computer ranking that takes emotion out of the equation. Think it gives much better results (UNI and Montana are rated much lower) and UND is #15.

I committed a breach of FCS/bozoville protocol by even mentioning FBS, as moving to FBS requires national championships according to bisonville. Suffering the wrath of those bozos because of it. Just ask USA, Texas St, Coastal Carolina, Georgia St, etc. Forgive me for posting this, but bozo publications have been touting FBS with a four part series with even their AD chiming in. He doesn’t knock or poo-poo moving to FBS but apparently UND fans should for itself? The MWC or MAC would be absolutely foolish to invite NDSU so they have to find another way by grouping with other regional schools. What business does not want to keep up with its main competitor? UND fans that are embarrassed don’t have the least bit of business sense. http://www.bisonillustrated.com/jump-to-the-fbs/

UND has been named one of the worst hashtag campaigns in college basketball. https://www.midmajormadness.com/2018/9/17/17843192/offseason-content-generator-lets-discuss-mid-major-hashtags-hashtag-content-hashtag-phoning-it-in

If BYU had been a P5 team, they sure the hell would have leapfrogged Wisconsin.

The St Louis Blues new practice facility soon opens. It has three rinks, 2500 seats in the main rink, near Lindenwood U, and much of the rest of the acreage will be developed into an hundred million dollar entertainment complex. Since Lindenwood is paying rent and even contributing some $ for capital, the Lindenwood women’s team would inevitably play there. But their ACHA men’s team could go DI and get a bid from the WCHA. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/a-pinch-yourself-moment-for-blues-their-new-practice-home/article_950c41af-1f9d-5362-8e83-ea3c99ba9ad4.amp.html

Simply don’t care about FCS polls, the most blatant political polling known to man. But the win is huge when it comes to the playoffs and seeding.

A fantastic win considering that there were zero turnovers and Sam had a blocked punt nearly in our end zone with the defense only allowing a FG.

Ate you sure you and Goon aren’t the real Beavis and Butthead’s.

Nicer job. Guess you’llbe a good hockey supporter and post this again when Kennedy announces it.

Pryor commented that UND volleyball finally showed resolve and teamwork to be able to comeback, as they showed against Charlotte. Against New Orleans, the Privateers were ahead in the first set 24-20, but UND scored six straight points to win it. New Orleans won the second set, but UND won’t the next two to get to 8-7 in non-conference. They go on the road again next week for their first Summit matches against IPFW and W Illinois. Like how this team is putting things together.

UND is behind Charlotte currently, 2-1 in sets. UND won the first set big, but have failed to maintain their standards as each set becomes more and more difficult. Maybe it’s their youth. The same pattern was evident in losses to Clemson and UAB and USF. perhaps it’s coaching unable to adjust, but the youth of the team is more likely the cause.

You’ve used that meme a zillion times, Mafia Man. Can’t you be more creative? But I picture me and IPFW walking to the courthouse to sign separation papers, as she has been wanting out for years and sleeping with any conference more eastern but all the relatives and bison trolls say that bitch was such a catch.

Plenty of fans here want UND to make a deep playoff run in FCS multiple times before FBS is ever considered. Like Coastal Carolina, USA, Georgia St, or Texas St ever made a deep FCS run. The bison trolls hate the idea that UND would even consider FBS. To them, that apostasy. But it’s fine if they move up, but no other conference wants them, so their stuck where there are unless regional state schools join to Summit.

Forgot that that old strip mall got filled including Pet Smart. But the Macy’s was sold at such a cheap price that the owners can make money at low rents. The main Columbia Mall had substantial rents while the anchors own their own space.

With some Alabama officials open about their hockey interest ( and looking into a decent sized hockey arena), it makes sense that other SEC allies would at least be open to hockey. Alabama isn’t going to add hockey alone in the SEC and south. But this is probably middle of the next decade at least before DI hockey becomes a reality.
