Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

A home and home with Jamestown? Seems weird that they scheduled 2 non-cons against the same team

nice short trip too

Wanna know a crazy stat? According to UMC's records, they went 167- 797 between 1968-2014. Between 2015-2024, they've gone 240-213.

If you subtract the JUCO stuff, they went 61-558 during their D2 stay before 2015.

Gust is a great coach who understands the game locally. Not only can he recruit, but his player development is second only to Concordia-St. Paul right now. I remember reading about how he got Zach Siepel to join the program - a guy nobody really wanted, and turned him into UMC's first MLB Draft Pick (which is incredibly rare for any program not named CSP, SCSU, or AU).

But... I don't think lightning will strike twice. If he leaves, I doubt UMC will have it in them to replace him, and will surely drop back down the rankings. So credit where credit is due for sure, but it's also on thin ice.

Gust is a great coach.

Man... this place that DSU built is kinda cool. Hopefully they see it through to phase II.

Big crowd tonight too.

big plans if they pull it iff congrats

The Dakota State athletic promo is impressive and ambitious. I wonder if they can bring it together. https://amp.dsuathletics.com/

impressive idea

Jamestown got 4000 to watch them in Minot. better than St Cloud would have done FWIW

VCSU was at Minot, unless you meant Mary.

Jimmies lose a tough one to Chadron State in a game we led most of the way. The future is bright!

Losing now is just preparation for what is to come 😱

The team is probably sandbagging so they can catch everyone off guard next year

Jimmies hire a new head wrestling coach....from Williston High School.

The process has begun and the path is being laid in front of us for the eventual addition of Dakota State and maybe Bellevue to be added to the NSIC sans MSU and Augie

Your logic is mesmerizing. Those two schools are to D1 what DSU and Bellevue are to D2.

But alas, DSU is 3-0 right now - so I don't quite get the vitriol towards them. They also did this handy thing called... building a football stadium. Novel concept.

Augie played great last night but they still lost by 21 to a mid-tier D1 program at best, and MSU wouldn't have faired any better.

SDSU a mid-tier FCS program? You're joking right?

The distinction here is D1, not FCS. They are definitely a top FCS program, but mid-tier overall D1 is accurate. I think that was the point he was trying to make.

[SW_Mustang]

SDSU a mid-tier FCS program? You're joking right?

That's not what I said. I said they were a mid-tier DI program.

Put them up against any top DI team in the country - say, Oklahoma State, and see how they fare.

No Vitriol at all, I'd much rather have them over Jamestown. What I'm stating is that paths are opening up for realignment again and I there is likely to be a real shot Augie and MSU get the call up.
While Dakota State and someone else can take out spots.
Where exactly did you think I was hating on Dakota State?
