Bison Sioux baseball this year?

[MN_BISON]

I read over on SS that the Bison and Sioux will play a home and home this year. Anyone know anything about it? With travel costs being what they are and listening to our baseball coach speak this summer, I believe it's probably true.

It is not listed on the 2009 schedule, although that may not be complete at this point.

yeah, that's probably just a tentative schedule for now, but it makes sense for them to play in baseball

I agree, ming01, playing them in baseball makes sense. We complain about the basketball schedule, but last season we played St. Cloud State, U of Mary, and Concordia in baseball (although we dropped the game at Concordia). This year's schedule already has these small colleges - Concordia, Mayville State, and Dakota State. 2 DAC and a MIAC, all at home. I think UND would be a nice upgrade from one of these games. Remember, there were still baseball games played against them after the other sports halted play and I think this would draw some more fans out for the baseball team.

definitely agree and it give us another home game, something that we need

Hopefully this is the start of a trend. I know it will be a while for it to happen on the football field but it would be ridiculous to not play a DI school as close as UND is to NDSU in other sports. I really hope womens basketball is next, going to those games was a lot of fun and womens basketball hasn't been the same since the two stopped playing each other.

I see the flow as, baseball, (golf and cross country already did very recently not head to head), soccer, Softball, Volleyball, Basketball (both), and years away Football.

Yeah, it might take a playoff match up to get the two together on the football field.
