UNDvince97-01 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 So your saying that you'd travel to Fargo and only have 4 home games with 2 of those NAIA? While obviously not ideal, at this point I would say yes I'm ok with that. But that's just me. Would you accept a home/home with our return in 2012? Yes. But with a huge buyout clause, like 92,96 has stated. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keldon Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Doesn't ndsu have any forums for their fans? Why are they all here? P*nis envy I suppose. I don't care what's up at NDSU... Although, that ben guy on the basketball team is HOT!!! (hehehehehehehe) Eventually, UND and NDSU will not only be playing each other (hummm that does sounds gay) but they will both be in the same conference. Money, distance, size, etc.. will all make that happen. Sooner than most think. The current financial mess will start to hit college athletics very soon... no programs or even conferences are safe. Big changes are coming. A huge realignment, born of necessity, will put UND and NDSU in the same conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And secondly, what is your infatuation with telling us here at UND Sports how to run things? I have heard you got banned at the NDSU site and all I can say is "Three cheers for NDSU".

Yote 53 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Why are the 2010 and 2012 games against USD in Vermillion mid-season games along with the 2009 game in Grand Forks? I see they had some sense and made the 2011 game in GF the last game of the year. I think it was pretty cool how the last game of the year the last few years has been USD v UND weekend. I wish they could permanently make that the last game of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Looks like we can rule out Central Washington as a potential 2009 opponent: link Going by the "2009 schedule blog official release" as found on anygivensaturday.com, it looks to me like our potential options for a home non-conference FCS game in 2009 are as follows: Sept. 12 Portland St. Sam Houston St. Wagner Howard Oct. 10 Indiana St. Morehead St. (and no, I'm not talking about MSU-Moorhead) Stony Brook Davidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I would be willing to travel there next year with return game in the future and huge buyout clauses. I don't know much about the other "surname schools" or Stony Brook though.

Howard is a private research school in Washington DC. It's also a historically black school, probably the premier one in terms of academics. Wagner and Davidson are private liberal arts schools that are DI mostly for bball and they have low or non scholarship football. Stony Brook is a massive research school and one of the flagship research centers in the New York public university system SUNY. Like the other SUNY research centers (Buffalo, Albany and Binghamton) they have only recently started putting money into DI athletics.

siouxhockeyfan11 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Wasn't really sure where this article belonged but I thought it was interesting enough to note..Texas-San Antonio Adds FCS Football. Larry Coker who coached Miami to a National title in 2001 is going to coach them and they will began play in the 2011 season playing in the Alamo Dome.

You might want to re-type this because "at this point" you can kiss goodbye a team signing a huge buyout clause for a return game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MplsBison Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Looks like Sac State posted their schedule and are playing Poly on Sept 12th. Portland State, Wagner and Sam Houston seem to be about the only other FCS schools with Sept 12th open other than NDSU and UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland State, Wagner and Sam Houston seem to be about the only other FCS schools with Sept 12th open other than NDSU and UND. According to a poster on AGS there is a rumor that SHSU has scheduled a game against St. Joes of Indiana to fill their open slot on September 12th. Not looking good for a FCS opponent for Potato Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MplsBison Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If a NDSU/UND game can't be worked out, then hopefully we can pay off Wagner to come to Fargo and you guys can sign a home/home and get Portland to travel to Grand Forks the 1st game.

dmksioux Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Does anyone have any insight as to how much UND is offering potential teams to come to GF for open date on Potato Bowl? I would hope they are willing to spend a little money to try to get a quality opponent. It's been reported that we received a $25,000 buyout from Idaho State so. Combine that with the payday from the Texas Tech game and the profits from from a large Potato Bowl crowd, I would thin we have some cash to spend. I have no idea how scheduling works, but I am a little worried about the inability to schedule FCS opponents at home. Can anyone shed any light as to why scheduling is so difficult?
