USD and scheduling

Re: USD and scheduling

The only sure bet in all this scheduling mess is that we are sure to get screwed.

I am calling it now. We will not play Missouri State the next two years. SIU will get a favorable draw.

We will get screwed by this. I've been saying that all along.

Re: USD and scheduling

dunno about anyone else, but I tend to take things said on Bisonville with at least a grain of salt. (actually, I tend to do that with things said on just about any message board, with the exception of a very few posters).

First off, I don't think the conference has "officially" set schedules that far out. Perhaps there are some tentative ones somewhere (that someone within the organization felt like leaking), but until they're announced officially, they're subject to change.

Well it was printed in the game program so it is a bit more than message board gossip.

SIU is the one school USD will bypass in its first two-year rotation in the MVFC schedule beginning next year. With 10 teams, there will be no divisions, MVFC commissioner Patty Viverito said, but that every team would miss one program for two years on a rotating basis. It has not been determined where the first-ever game between SIU and USD will be.

Rima mentioned on the Farley call-in show, that he had sent an inquiry to Mike Kern recently, and he responded that UNI will not be playing Indiana State in the 2012 or 2013 regular seasons.

In the past, we'd probably complain about losing an "easy win" with that scheduling, but with the way the Trees have turned things around, I'm alright with it.

I'd second that... with Bell gaining experience, I'm just fine with 2012-2013 seasons being Trees free. Never thought I'd say that.

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..


and USD is a joke, cant believe they are in the league, vermilllion, yuck, do they even have mcdonalds there yet?

We do not bring 2500 to Fargo because we DO NOT think it is as big of game as you guys do. We do not look at the new schedule and circle on the calendar and make it a city wide holiday. We play sports on a national level, not a sub-zero regional level. As for the dome, we have had ours since 1976 and you? Next year bring 2500 to CF, if the bus line can accomidate that many folks.

Re: USD and scheduling

Remember when "Bear Week" signalled a big rivalry?

Now pretty much fallen off the map, even with our old coach at the helm!

Its still a rivalry game. No matter how good or bad one team is.

Just look at ISU/Iowa. Iowa won 15 years in a row. Yet, its still the biggest rivalry for both teams, not just one team. My hs team is the same way. Our biggest rivalry was for the Cowbell. Oldest documented tradition game in the state (110yrs i think it is this year). My hs team has had one winning season in the last 35 years. Yet that Cowbell game is the biggest one every year.

I would put MSU/SIU at the top with ease.
