    Re: Gateway school enrollments

    I assume you mean this in relating to student population, as there is no way a D-2 conference is on par in basketball with the Mid-Con (we were #17 of 31 conferences this past season in RPI). This...

    Re: Oral Robert's NCAA seed

    I believe you will only receive the money once you are a full member in the conference, so starting next season.

    No, I don't think that they were drunk. *Last year the "mid-majors" got 8 bids. *People last year said that number was way too high. *Now it's too low? *Historically speaking mid-majors have gotten...

    Bryce will most likely be our Head Coach in the next few years. *By the way, congratulations on the Gateway!! He is our current Associate Head Coach.

    Re: MID CON Champ thread

    That isn't correct. IUPUI was a 16 seed in 2003 (they were not our 1 seed, we were), then we won the tournament in 2004 as a 15 seed against 2 seed Gonzaga, then Oakland as a 16 (winning as the 6-7...

    Re: 2007 baseball schedule

    Yeah, as a former pitcher at Valpo, I can vouch for our really crappy defense!! It turned some easy plays into base hits by reading the ball wrong, leading to a boost in the good ole ERA. It almost...

    We start play in the Horizon next year....it is the whole reason why 3 teams were admitted into the Mid-Con.

    Re: 2007 baseball schedule

    Don't know how you can assume you will "beat the crap out of us constantly," when we are an improving team as well. I don't think we will play you much once we are out of the Mid-Con, so it might not...

    Re: 2007 baseball schedule

    Kind of a stretch to take 3 of 4 from us, when I think it was the other way around last year (or we swept you). We did not lose many players at all from last year, which was a young team. Yes, I...

    Re: PROPS to NEWMAN from U.Minnesota

    I don't know what school you went to/when, or what Mid-Con teams you played before, but as I found out, many Midwest (including Big 10 mid/upper-quality to lower-quality) teams are very similar,...

    Re: Tennis & Swimming and the Mid-Con

    You don't need a quality facility to be in D-1 for S&D. Several schools in the Mid-Con have sub-par pools, us included. It doesn't help recruiting any to have a bad facility, but it is a good option...

    I'm quite sure we will play you guys at some point, as we have in other sports. My baseball team (I played at VU until 2004) played against you guys, and it was a good/close series. We recruit quite...

    Re: PROPS to NEWMAN from U.Minnesota

    We beat IU several times, as well as Purdue, & Northwestern when I played (they were not anything special in other words), so I wouldn't think we would be last in the conference for baseball; other...

    Re: My first post--Rutgers/North Dakota State

    Probably only scholarship I-AA's. The only recent non-scholly I-AA NDSU schedule was Valpo during NDSU's first year of transition to DI. The following year, the Pioneer Football League (the...

    All of this is partly made possible by us leaving the Mid-Con...kinda makes a Crusader feel good, as I like to see the mid-majors flourish.

    Re: PROPS to NEWMAN from U.Minnesota

    You are correct, they do compete for the Big 10 conference each year, and in that, they should have a decent stadium (I enjoyed playing against them at the Metrodome myself, when I played at Valpo). ...

    Most of those were a LONG time ago though. It has been quite awhile since MN has been to the series, as my dad points out quite a bit (he played on one of those teams to get to CWS). It has been...

    Re: NCAA TOURNEY in 08??

    Mid-Con TV is a webcast of the game you can pay $6-$7 (estimate) to see. They started this last season when Fox Sports dropped our Semifinal games.

    Re: NCAA TOURNEY in 08??

    From what I remember, Tulsa has the tournament until around 2009-2010 due to the profit being made there. I think they signed a 3-4 year extension after last year's tournament.
