MafiaMan Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I was thinking the same thing. I we make a regional this year I would bet we will be with MN...never fails. And that's another correct assumption, in my book. UND and Minnesota can now bank on being in the same regional year after year after year after year after year...

UNDBIZ Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Because my post was thick with sarcasm... You see, UND changed the nickname like the NCAA wanted...and is still getting the shaft. Now the company line is "well, you should have done it years ago and we wouldn't be in this situation and the NCAA would give us regionals and stuff." No, they wouldn't. Ah that went over my head, but yes, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Now that it appears Notre Dame gets to play on their home ice because no other Midwest team bid to host and UND/Scheels won their bid thanks to being the only non-home ice arena in the west to place a bid, it appears we may have shot ourselves in the foot by placing bids for both REA and Scheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Santa, For Christmas, I would like a competent athletic department, a decent football coach, a volleyball coach with a valid driver's license, competitive women's and men's basketball teams, and a hockey team that rebounds from a bad start to the season and wins the national championship. Love, MafiaMan p.s. Can I get the Fighting Sioux nickname back too? p.p.s. Cookies, warm milk, and a SiouxSports.com hat will be on the table for you on the 24th. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, do you think the NCAA would've chosen UND's bid over the other applicants if all West Region bids were submitted with only on-campus arenas? If you believe the NCAA hates us you would have to believe they would've given the bid to someone else if we had only submitted REA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxTupa Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 What I think is a load of crap is that schools are submitting home site bids in the first place. That's what happens when you give "preference" but there's no hard rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneksioux Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Is there anything false about his tweet? The Ralph and UND put in 2 bids for the regional tournaments. One was to be held at the Ralph. The other was a joint bid with Scheels Arena. Therefore Scheels couldn't outbid the Ralph if the Ralph was part of the bid. Hammer's tweet was the first time I heard anyone say anything about Fargo outbidding the Ralph. Sounds like he hangs out with too many of the "uneducated" himself.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of BSvillers claiming that Fargo and Scheels outbid the Ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
