Look ahead to what? Sam Houston is a shadow of their former self, and it is WAY too early to look ahead to Idaho. We're not looking past you, and it's the home opener as well. Everybody...

"Once they get this conference thing nailed down, they could see if there's any interest in a starting a postseason game along the lines of the Mineral Bowl (for Big Sky guys, this is a...

For your first years in I-AA, I wouldn't set your sights on the McNeese St's, the Youngstown St's, or even the Georgia Southerns or Appalachian St's to fill out your schedule. I feel...
To my knowledge, I believe that the Ivy awards grants in aid to worthy athletes based on their academic prowess, rather than their athleticism. I can't really answer their athletic program questions....
To answer all the questions regarding the strongest conferences, there isn't one that is head and shoulders above the rest (we're not going to get into the A-10 vs SoCon debate).
The top...

"The games are against some Big Sky teams (Montana, Montana State and E. Washington), Gateway (W. Illinois), Southland (Sam Houston St.,McNeese St. and NW LA St.), and Patriot League...
As an outsider looking in on your situation, I have learned a lot and am glad to see that you guys are looking at starting your own conference. I was one of the people that suggested you form a...

I would have to disagree with you regarding NDSU's ability to go DIA. I know that you have unique insight into both Wyoming and NDSU, but who is Wyoming competing with in state? The...
The Big South Conference is a joke. It is comprised of teams that no one wanted and they have no shot of getting an automatic berth. Even if some of the weaker "transitional" DII or DI-AA schools...
BisoninTexas and NDSU Grad both hit the nails on the head. San Jose St. will join the Big West California Bus League if they get forced down to I-AA. Nevada has been mentioned as a possible addition...

To answer your question:

That statement will be answered on September 6 in Missoula, Montana.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the NCC becoming a conference of schools with DI hockey programs and non-competitive football programs? Or is that just a UND pipe dream?
I will be the first to admit that I initially wasn't for your guys' admission into the Big Sky Conference, however I would be one of the first to welcome you aboard. It makes me wonder though that if...

I honestly don't think that either Montana schools would join the NCC unless it was a full fledged Division I conference and there was no room in other western conferences, but the...

Check MY handle. We (Montana) beat Stanford in their house right before Christmas. They were ranked #17 in the country at the time and were favored to challenge for the PAC-10 this...

To answer your question about Northridge, Sacramento, and Portland State, we were a little shell shocked when Boise St. and Idaho left. The three schools in question were in larger...
There's a difference between playing the #2 team in the country and BEATING the #17 team in the country in THEIR house. Besides we play top teams in basketball tournaments every year.
I am going to put the shoe on the other foot with this question. *Awhile back on the egriz board a rather lengthy thread was started discussing your merits for joining the Big Sky Conference. *So I...
Hey, this is the first link that was sent off of egriz. No wonder this that subject wasn't brought up. However regarding this board I think that we beat your D-I Big Sky invite subject to death on...
Absolutely amazing. Your school is looking for a new football coach and you aren't discussing canidates or having "wish lists" of people for the position. Damn this is a slow board.
Hey Siouxrock:
I could care less about basketball (although that is an impressive quote and I'm sure Ralph Engelstad could buy MANY colleges). Football is the main point of interest for most...
Here is one fan's views and observations about the I-AA world to help you out. I have followed I-AA for about 20 years and the following observations are just my opinion.
First, the "power"...

Interesting work on the three conference stadiums. One thing though, when you showed WIU's stadium, you should have showed some pictures of the oft used correctional facilities in...
