Who are UM's peers?

[garizzalies]

UM and Mr Washington proved that going bigger with a stadium will raise the fan base. Montana football had nothing to write home about til Mr Washington, as MSU was the big cat in the state. UND hockey only had like 4000 a game when it was in its old arena. The REA popped up, and suddenly 11,800 sellouts have been the rule for 15 years. Many of those fans don't bother with football anymore as it seems so second class iN comparison. Some of the most important NHL stars are UND alums, (Toews, Parise, Oshie) so football does pale in comparison. Many alums come back, but they do so to go to hockey as a sort of homecoming, not football.

In addition, the bandwagon fans, most of which have hitched on to NDSU, can be enticed back if we get a new on campus stadium and win. UND values it rivalry in hockey with Minnesota and Wisconsion and would love to have a 30,000 seat luxury football stadium to actuary host the Gophers. That would take a lot of $ but UND has five alumni that are close to a billion net worth and can make it happen. UND athletics sells more ticket by far compared to the Griz or the Bison. It's great that you underestimate us so severely, as do the bison.

If you did a find/replace with "UND" for "MSU, and "hokey" for "rodeo", you would sound exactly like the delusional cat people on here

I think UND has potential to build a solid football program, however, probably limited to FCS for several years. UM is a well established FCS program that should move to FBS away from the Big Sky asap.

Really? I didn't know you felt this way. I don't think you've ever mentioned anything of the sort. :roll:

How does NCU look this year?

I don't know who NCU is, so I couldn't tell you.

Sorry, I thought you were a Northern Colorado fan. I must be thinking about someone else. My bad.

No problem. They're a cool bunch those UNC fans though. :thumb:

Yep, gotta love the 'Heels. They're in some hot water right now, though.

Never heard of the "'Heels."

UNC Tarheels.

Gotcha.

NDSU, South Dakota, SDSU, and UND should all be big sky. That would vastly improve the Big Sky Conference and would make for much more entertaining matchups.

If those schools were in the BSC (in lieu of SUU, PSU and UNC) I would stop pushing for a move up.

Or, UM and MSU move to the Missouri Valley football conf.

Meh. I'd rather move up than that...

Unlike several existing members, MSU actually sits within the upper Missouri drainage.

So you want the BSC to be both CA and the Midwest..... The Dakotas all make more sense for the Missouri Valley Conf. The BSC would not miss UND; they are a significant geographic outlier.

And have trips to the Ohio/PA border for a conf. game. Really makes sense.

UND is closer than NAU.

Yes, YSU would be a long flight every 2 years.
