star2city Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Good luck to the Bison while they entertain the MidCon officials. Seems like they aren't holding back anything to impress their guests. Personally, I really don't think NDSU fans have anything to worry about, as NDSU is in the MidCon if NDSU chooses to accept.

DI IN FARGO Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Correction... that's Division I-AA. Oh can we feel the love and the Jealousy in all these posts. DaveK you again show how uneducated you are. The MidCon is DI period, only subclassification in DI is for Football of which the Mid-Con doesn't sponsor. But I wouldn't expect you to know that given that you follow a DII school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A conference that does not sponsor football.) I-AAA conferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It will have lunches at the Fargo Country Club, Doolittles Woodfire Grill and the NDSU Alumni Center. It will dine at the Hotel Donaldson and Newman Outdoor Field during a Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks baseball game. Was Hooters overbooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmog Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 What's to be jealous of? My favorite team is going D-1AA too. You don't have anything that we don't have.

4siouxnow Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 As someone new to the whole North Dakota thing I am amazed at how NDSU supporters just can't get off their high and mightness, but are still so intrigued by a second teir school ( in their minds ) that they spend all their time on this message board.

bincitysioux Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hmmm, I don't believe any DI conference selection committees will be visiting Grand Forks this week. And I don't think there was one visiting Fargo in October of 2002 either, a whole month after NDSU announced there intention to go DI. Which is where UND is at in this process. the bison need the mid-con bad. i'm cautiously optimistic. And I wish the Bison good luck in getting into the Mid-Con as well. It's step in the right direction for UND's future as well by adding stability to the GWFC, and bringing the footprint of the Mid-Con into the Dakotas.

It seems that Western Kentucky is leaving the Gateway for the Sun Belt. If that happens the Gateway would be down to 7 teams and would likely be looking to add one or two more. Hopefully NDSU would be in the running. If the GWFC loses one or two more teams, there will be no conference left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GWFC loses one or two more teams, there will be no conference left. NDSU and SDSU would fit that conference very well. Two land Grants that would immediately be competitive and through the transition. The future looks very interesting for NDSU fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Only if nd1sufan had speculated Western Kentucky was leaving the Gateway to join the North Carribean Indoor Kayak League. Is that the same league for indoor watersports that NDSU is in? I know NDSU has had a major domed facility filled with water twice in the past. Is an NCIKL meet why that was? Will that score big with Douple and the Mid-Con? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star2city Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Only if nd1sufan had speculated Western Kentucky was leaving the Gateway to join the North Carribean Indoor Kayak League. Or, apparently, if nd1sufan had speculated NDSU was joining the Big Sky. That, after all, was preposterous, even though NDSU fans has been postulating, dreaming, and speculating on it for three years. Now, any kind of such talk, even though Fullerton still publicly names UND, NDSU, and SDSU, is beyond the range of all "resonable" speculation. Apparently, "Politically Correct" speech has been imposed on a topic as mundane as conference affiliation because it hurts the egos, feelings and sensitivities of bison fans. Consider this: if the Big Sky was only going to take one school from the Dakotas, which school would the BSC choose? High on the BSC shopping list are camera and satellite-ready facilities, a dakota-wide cable network, a world class arena (or two), and an established record of winning DI championships. Now who might fit those criteria?. The plain truth is hurtful sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now who might fit those criteria?. The plain truth is hurtful sometimes. According to who? I've heard academic quality, athletic competitiveness, commitment to gender equity, commitment to student-athlete success, geography with regards to cost of travel and travel time, and sponsoring all conference sports.

It looks an awful lot like we got you beat in those categories too. We've definitely got you beat in the first four, would be equal in the next two, and then i guess you do have us on the last one but we could always start a new team or two. I guess the truth really does hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
