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. Expand 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

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. Expand 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. Quote

Expand 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
