I’m talking easier in the sense of the relationship that AD’s already have with conference mates. 

I’ll fully admit I have no knowledge of how these games get scheduled, but it has to be an easier conversation to start when you are calling someone that you’ve known for years personally and are on conference calls and go to conference meetings with every year.

Very possible and you would assume that the schools look at each other as peers rather than down their nose like they aren't worthy of a home/home. I guess the good news is the MVFC will go from having 1 extra team to 2, so maybe that will help out. But again, it still only accounts for 1 game in that whole list.

Why on earth would we drag our fans to GF if we don't get anything in return?  (Except 400 rushing yards and reps for the 2's and 3's.)

I'll keep asking the question - in who's interest should NDSU act?  

Its own, of course.

What year did the great west teams join the Big Sky? Seems they must have known it was coming since they had so much play back and forth between the two leagues in 2009 and 2010.

NAU v. EWU also fits the criteria

Also, I believe App state was transitioning by then, so technically is an FBS away game for Montana. Edit: 2012 they were still FCS, I’m not sure what they were in 2013 since they were awful it’s hard to tell if they were eligible for playoffs that year or if they had already increased scholarships.

Petey, that's actually a very good point to bring up in this conversation. And may I add, we are not complaining how tough it is to schedule MH OOC teams. Here's the tickler tough, going to the next level to complain about it on a rival message board. 

But we also normally schedule 60-80% of our non conference games at home for hockey which is just smart business and if NDSU can schedule 3 or their 4 or 2 of their 3 non conference games at home or if it is a 2 and 2 they try and make one a FBS team and get a check then I can't fault them for that.

I'll expect a picture of the Nickel to follow, which will be justified.

I think the Fighting Sioux went the way of the UND wrestling, tennis, golf, etc teams.

Hey now...we still have golf, and tennis. For now.

[TX Bison]

And football!!

Whenever someone starts arguing UND and NDSU football, why does some UND fan always start talking about hockey trophies?

It's like losing a drag race so you start bragging about having a nicer house.

The Nickel, sure.  That stings.  I would fight my mother to get that back but leave fake sports out of it!

That Nickle needs to go on display somewhere. Too bad  it's come to what it has.

Two days ago there were posts on this thread speculating that LakesBison on SiouxSports = El_Chapo on Bisonville. Agree?

Two days later there's a post on here speculating that TX Bison on SiouxSports = BoerneBison on Bisonville.  You agree?

Talked with you last couple days over there. Remember you telling me "You're right". Texas  .... No fake sports over here. 

Tickle of schadenfreude every once in a while!  Have a great day, again.

As long as FU fans keep spewing garbage like that, I will continue throwing D-I hockey in their faces. They could establish their own program and eventually have success with it, but they are too afraid of us. #thetruthhurts #inconvenienttruths

Lol what would you say if some NDSU or Minnesota dude brought up wrestling titles?

Same concept.

How many people even follow college wrestling?

And I was responding to the comment referring to hockey as a "fake sport". It is not and I think you know that.

Next question.

 750,000 people watched the championship round on ESPN.... or 300,000 more than watched DU win their championship in hockey last season.

Niche sports my man.  

I'm guessing his "fake" comment refers to the perception of non-football/basketball sports at most schools take a backseat. But you already knew that.
