Bulk Truck Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am looking forward to hearing how you think UND can get a hockey-only invitation to the B1G, or even better, how Kelley could have prevented the B1G from forming a hockey conference. Or perhaps you think UND can gain full membership in the B1G? You are as delusional as LakesBison, or maybe you are Lakes! 1. John Hopkins has established an affiliate precedent with being added as the 6th team to play Lacrosse. 2. Kelley could not have prevented anything. 3. UND will not gain full membership in the Big 10. 4. Nobody is as delusional as lakesbison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulk Truck Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There is nothing worse than a bison fan impersonating a UND fan. Oh yes there is a UND fan impersonating as a UND fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonadub Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 1. John Hopkins has established an affiliate precedent with being added as the 6th team to play Lacrosse. You go get 'em Bulk Truck. If you can see a way to get UND an affiliate hockey membership in the B1G hockey conference, this board would cheer your efforts. (btw, the B1G already has 6 hockey members, they had to add one to get to 6 members for lax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you, personally, give up to gain admission of UND hockey in the Big 10. I will sit back and hear what you have to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND/Faison did pretty darn well putting together the NCHC with Denver, Miami and the rest after Goldie and Bucky went to the B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking financial assets, I am talking philosophical and thought process capital or assets. Faison reminds me of Bob Entzion at NDSU and I will leave it at that.

What would you, personally, give up to gain admission of UND hockey in the Big 10. I will sit back and hear what you have to say! Please tell me what's so special about the Big 10 for hockey? Winning a NC, our conference has many of those, attendance UND is #1, television, UND has that. How many hockey games are on the Big 10 network? The BTN showed 22 games last season, only 3 were shown from Oct 11 - Jan 10th. THREE!!! Because hockey takes a backseat to football and basketball in the Big 10. The Big 10 has big named schools that's all, and 2 of those schools in that 6 team league haven't done squat in hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Wait till Big 10 hockey gets cranked up. The Big 10 will make dust not eat dust! By that time, NDSU will have a DI hockey team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulk Truck Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 By that time, NDSU will have a DI hockey team. I hope NDSU doesn't ever start hockey. It would be pointless, inefficient, and counterproductive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I am not talking financial assets, I am talking philosophical and thought process capital or assets. Faison reminds me of Bob Entzion at NDSU and I will leave it at that. Bulk Truck reminds me of Bill Kiefer and 100 starving and dead horses. Can't even take charge of his own affairs, but he insists we foolow him. I will leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Quote Williams graduated from Texas A&M in 1997 where she competed as a student-athlete in both women's basketball and volleyball. http://www.nacda.com/sports/cefma/mtt/williams_andrea00.html Quote Associate Commissioner, Football & Basketball Operations Andrea Williams http://www.bigten.org/school-bio/big10-staff.html Just trying to get a read on who this new commissioner is. I guess my only concern is she graduated in 1997. That sounds a touch young to be commissioner of a DI conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
