Re: USD and scheduling

NDSU is, at best, 5th after SIU, MSU, YSU, and WIU.

C' mon, they have only been in the league for three years...

ISUr 18-9
ISUb 23-4
MSU 26-5
NDSU 25-18
SDSU 26-17
SIU 15-14
WIU 26-13
YSU 19-6
USD - 24-17-1

We have played NDSU and SDSU more than anyone else in the conference

Re: USD and scheduling

I think everyone in the Valley wants to have what UNI has and that puts a target on the back of the Panthers.

Re: USD and scheduling

one YSU fan thinks that youngstown has the same arrangement as SIU/InSU

If that's the case, then, it makes things much more complicated. With that said, YSU has to pretty much fly anywhere they go, besides Terre Haute (and maybe they still do that trip too), so IMO, whether it's a 3 hour flight to one of the three Dakotas or a 7 hour drive to Carbondale, does it really matter?

Re: USD and scheduling

I dont care what happens so long as SIU and UNI play every year.

It matters to whomever is writing the checks.

Re: USD and scheduling

True, but I'm pretty sure they fly to Carbondale too as that is a long drive. I don't know what programs drive over 5 hours to play competition currently in the MVFC. If that's a sticking point for YSU, then this will get difficult for the schedulers as mathematically you can have 2 teams not go to the Dakotas but once every year, but three....I'm not sure if that is possible if you play 8 regular season games.

Re: USD and scheduling

UNI/NDSU is a rivalry, always has been, maybe when you chumps bring 2500+ fans up to the fargodome then you can talk... oh wait, you brought 150 2 years ago and we sell out those types of games. awww..

Sheesh someone in a bad mood....did your sheep dump you? I bet you brought it flowers for the 2nd date huh? That's a relationship-breaker man, I keep telling you folks but no one listens.



UNI/NDSU may be a "rivalry" simply because you want to desperately beat the team that has always had your number and we just want to shut you up for another year....err season...errrr....5 minutes....okay shutting you up is impossible. There is no rational/irrational way of reasoning with you. And excuse us for not wanting to trek up to Bum-F***, USA to watch us "PISS POUNDED AND MANHANDLED" dem buyzen. We have these fancy schmancy things called TV's to watch that game on. Come talk to us when you beat us and have a conference title. awww... You guys are nothing compared to SIU in my mind.

Re: USD and scheduling

I think I figured it out... SIU, far and away biggest rival... NDSU far and away most hated team as a result of their fans.

Talk? Why? Most UNI fans don't care about NDSU, much less think you're a rival. Right now, you're a lower than MSU for rivalry. Here's my current MVC rival list:

1. SIU
2. SIU
3. SIU
4. SIU Because they've EARNED it.
5. ISUr Because the only good Redbird is a Dead bird.
6. WIU Never enjoyed much about WIU.
7. SDSU They have proven it on the field against UNI.
8. ISUb Could be fun a la SIU as they improve. They also have at least one win vs. UNI in the past 15 years.
9. YSU Some close games but one-sided is not rivalry.
10. MSU Shadows of a rivalry gone sour. See #9
11. NDSU Who would have thought SDSU would be a better rival than NDSU when the two joined the conference? To be UNI's rival, you have to earn it. BTW, if you do win in October, you might move up to 9.5 on the rivals list.

Re: USD and scheduling

The Dakota schools are a combined 1-10 vs UNI in Division 1.

ISUR
SDSU
NDSU

ISUB
USD

At least SDSU has a win. The recent games with them have been interesting, but I probably shouldn't have put them as high as I did. At least they aren't trolling PN spreading poison about.
