UND-1 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 UND entered into a home and home with Stony Brook. Home in 2014, away in 2016. Meh. It seems like there are better home and home options than Stony Brook. http://www.undsports...TCLID=209345164 Do a little research. This is an outstanding FCS game. They are a solid program that just moved to the CAA. Run-first, physical team. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 A home and home was probably one of the easier ways to get 6 home games this year. Assures that there will be only 5 home games in 2016 though. USD + 4 conference at home with 4 conference games on the road and at Bowling Green and at Stony Brook. That's OK. There will most likely be multiple playoff games in the Alerus in 2016. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Stony Brook is a solid OOC addition. They are a quality FCS team. Good schedule pick-up. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Next year's schedule looks good with trips to San Jose St and Missouri State and Robert Morris and Stony Brook at home for OOC. Glad Faison went 12 games. My 2 brothers live in Springfield so going to try to make sure I get to game at Mo. St. Quote
UNDColorado Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Very happy to see this home and home agreement. A bit of good news is nice to see right now. Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 My 2 brothers live in Springfield so going to try to make sure I get to game at Mo. St. Only a two and a half hour trip for me, and I'm hoping to bring several with me. Quote

Also gives me an excuse to visit my brother out east . Quote

My comment had nothing to do with the quality of Stony Brook's program. I'd like to see non-conference scheduling with regional MVFC teams rather than an East Coast team. Just my personal preference. Also, the casual fan doesn't care about a team like Stony Brook. Nobody outside of this forum will care about the game. I'd rather have scheduled another home and home with SDSU, or got one going with UNI, SIU, etc. Quote
darell1976 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPID=6399&DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=204811251 The last meeting with Stony Brook, and before anyone bashes this home and home...would you rather we call up Ferris State? Or Prairie View A&M for a one time thing? This home and home completes 2014 and 2016. UND needs 1 game to fill in 2015, 2017, and 2018. We see NDSU with scheduling problems almost every year and I hope we don't go through that. I welcome any DI home and home. Quote
darell1976 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 With 2015 and 2017 having 1 vacant spot maybe Bubba and Faison can get Dale at SIU for a home and home? UND played them in 2008 I believe but haven't since. Bubba vs Dale that would be cool. Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The 2014 season just got two days closer--opener at San Jose St. has been moved up from August 30 to August 28. Quote
CMSioux Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The dreaded Thursday night game - but I understand - what are you gonna do it's Labor Day Weekend. I wonder how many schools have a temperature swing of +100 down to 20 during their tailgating season. Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Probably more likely to be televised on a Thursday night than the Saturday of opening weekend. 2 Quote

PrideOfTheNorth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 ...If Lennon is still employed at SIU then... He just signed I think a 2-year extension. They must be somewhat satisfied. Although hadn't Mussman just signed an extension...... Quote
UND Fan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 They often give extensions to make recruits feel better that the head coach is going to be there for at least a couple of years. There is no doubt that was the case here. I sure hope he can hang on to the job - would hate to see Dale get canned. Quote
darell1976 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 South Dakota St has to play DIII-Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2014 so maybe UND can get a another home and home with them in upcoming seasons starting in 2015. USD plays William Penn this year so UND has gone the longest among the 4 Dakota teams without playing a non DI team (2012). Hopefully SDSU learned their lesson from the loss to UW-Lacrosse and never overlook anyone. Quote

darell1976 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Don't be cheap and pay the going rate. Yuck. To give them a little credit it was their 12th game penciled in, but no SD DII teams are available? At least DII will give you partial credit for a playoff spot, DIII does nothing, nor does USD's William Penn (NAIA). Quote
darell1976 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Why do you care? Cause I hope our AD doesn't go down this path. DII counts, DIII and NAIA doesn't. Quote
jdub27 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Cause I hope our AD doesn't go down this path. DII counts, DIII and NAIA doesn't. Is that verified or just assumed? I've seen both being claimed. Quote
darell1976 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Is that verified or just assumed? I've seen both being claimed. Last year DII teams was a partial counter according to the new SRS. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/09/11/in-fcs-huddle-nothing-simple-about-fcs-playoff-selections/ The SRS will factor in all of a team's games against FCS, FBS and Division II competition.
