Popular Post Hayduke Posted July 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2016 9 hours ago, SiouxVolley said: You proclaimed ignorance of the Jubilee Year set down by God in Leviticus 25, so that is not surprising. In a Jubilee year, the humble shall be exalted, slaves shall be set free, people will get their ancestral family lands back, and if the country has been Godly, will be greatly blessed. If not, the financial markets will be terribly disruptive, as they have been. Sports are not immune to a Jubilee year. In the NCAA, three FCS teams would big titles: Villanova in basketball, Coastal Caroline in baseball, and UND in hockey. The Euro Cup should follow suit and the WAC shall be FBS again. Seriously? Whatever sliver of credibility you may have had was flushed down the toilet with this statement. At this point you should just draw up a sign on a big piece of cardboard and waive it at passing cars on a busy street. Join your fellow tin foiled hat wearing brethren and rejoice in your collective madness. I think I'll find something more credible to read in the National Enquirer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very concerned about the financial markets last summer, so I sold most of my stocks and mutual funds and bought and gold and silver mining stocks and mutual funds. Those stocks have done ridiculously well, and now the Big boys are telling everyone to do the same. There's a fine line between visionary and delusional... Sometimes those on the wrong side of that line are correct, more often they're not. BTW - My saying that you imagine relationships between unrelated events was not a compliment.

I am just saying if UND wants to move up to FBS and have a legimate shot for it to be a modestly sucessful move, this is not the way to do it. These teams and competition will excite no one. If you can move into the MWC or even Conf USA or the MAC you may have a shot. This is a conference set up to fail. Who is going to pay more money to go aatch the same teams that are drawing 7 to 8 thousand fans now? I would be very upset if NDSU accepted an offer to this conference set up. FCS is a much better alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered how long it was going to take for you pull out your old and tired supposed expertise on playing the market to try and distract from the point at hand. Wash, rinse , repeat. May be next time you can regale us(again) with your expertise on the Bakken? Havent heard that one for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes used the--"I was right about the Bakken and you all laughed at me" numerous times when hes been called out on being wrong. But it fits in with the majority of his non-sencical babble.

I am actually quoting what UND fans have said at the ticket office since they have joined the BSC. No sell outs and no attendence increases from the GWC or NCC for that matter. Getting a home game against Idaho, Northern Arizona, etc. doesn't seem to do anything for UND fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off UND has yet to host Idaho in football, second of all increases have happened lately since Bubba took over, that does happen when you win. Just what was our attendance average when we were in the NCC since you know this fact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA regionalized playoffs maybe? Anyone paying attention knew the NSIC winner would've finished maybe fourth in the NCC. Why pay to watch that hot mess?
