  1. It is likely runandshoot is a former frog sock.
  2. I know nothing about FCS sports or the schools at that level. NV was a 1 AA independent at one time until hooking up with the Big Sky 42 years ago.. we left that level in 92. I don't look down my nose at any of these schools. I think it is fine to be ambitious. Any G5 school that gets a P5 invitation gets a hat tip to me..They have earned it. While the MW is not a P5 conference it is still competitive and fun. A lot of the schools spent a lot of years slogging around in lesser conferences to get a chance to be here. I don't know if it is a good idea to just hand out a spot in the conference to any FCS school. They haven't had any hand in building any of this. There is almost zero connection between any of the MW schools to any FCS programs. Only Boise State and NV have ever been in a conference with any of these schools. I know people here like to rip on each other and bad mouth the conference but I think it is a honor to be in the MW.
  3. The MW would not allow AFA to keep their other sports here..I am guessing AFA would try for the Summit
  4. It is possible, maybe even likely that AFA will be football only in the AAC ala Navy..
  5. To blackmail the WCC into monetary and scheduling enhancements..
  6. Nevada is closer to Sacramento than Laramie is to Denver..I am claiming them in our DMA..
  7. I haven't been to either ND or Minnesota but I have been to all the states around them. After leaving the ranks of 1-AA/FCS in 92, I have not followed that level at all for football..We do play some of the schools in basketball and the occasional FCS football game but I couldn't tell you who all the FCS schools are out west. We haven't played a football game in a dome for 30 years.. I am not saying this to diss NDSU, just that they haven't been on my radar ever..
  8. I asked in another thread but is AFA going all sports or just FB?
  9. Lake Bison has been coming around longer than Tenbobnote who is completely around the bend about this stuff..Neither has anything resembling a humble bone in his body..
  10. No, but I only know the ones who show up here and it is an exceedingly arrogant bunch.. I have nothing against NDSU the school at all..I just comment on message board posts..
  11. You are new here..Read what Lake Bison and particularly what Tenbobnote have been posting here for months..
  12. I think most of them are socks..Probably the same guy running them all..But Jeff has to be loving the clicks..
  13. If you believe you will dominate right from the get go in the MW, why join that conference..Shouldn't you be angling for the SEC?
  14. You know every school in the MW beats P5 and FBS schools every season..NDSU beats one from time to time but to dominate the MW they would have to beat 8 FBS schools in one season..
  15. Dude, you aren't following the script..The NDSU guys have said they can't afford an all sports move..They just want football only!! They also don't want any part of Montana or MSU be any part of the MW They know they can nickel and dime their other sports and spend more on football..Great for them..In the MW the schools have to spend a lot for all sports..NDSU just wants everything handed to them..
  16. When you say the Dakotas, there are 4 schools there.. Like all the NDSU fans that are coming here are you demanding a football only invitation for all these schools?
  17. So you think adding 6 FCS schools would be a good thing..You have exactly no respect for any MW member school do you?
  18. Nevada and Boise have both shared a conference with Montana and Montana State. 30 years ago.. I like the schools and their fans but neither was all that great in our Big Sky Days..They got better when BSU, NV and Idaho left.. If the MW presidents choose to add them along with NDSU I will welcome them but this is way out there right now.
  19. Nobody is triggered by NDSU..No one here has any say about conference alignment. As for the potential 'adding' of NDSU you are presuming.an awful lot. There would have to be many steps in play before that even becomes possible..
  20. If Thompson is the only problem, that is an easy fix..I am not sure firing him would stop schools from looking for better opportunities. That is the nature of college sports. But, if firing him makes a difference, do it today..
  21. I can live with CSU and AFA leaving..I have no problem with Boise State shuffling off too..I would, however be bummed as hell to see SDSU and UNLV go..
