Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

[Purple Mav Man]

In a unscientific 5-minute research project looking on Google Maps, it seems like Jamestown is just the second current NSIC institution where the home team will stand on the East sideline of the football field.

It’s good the NSIC finally adds some diversity

Bemidji being the other? Okay, well, they are more like northeast.

Afternoon sun on players and coaches a good thing on those cold late season games.

I tried to stick with cardinal directions, so I'd put them as North. It's an inexact science to be sure.

It has always bothered me that Blakeslee is off kilter. Huge mistake to make it northwest by southeast, creating the wind tunnel.

I went on a college visit to Bemidji once and they had the gall to tell me the Chet was the only stadium in the conference with trees "in the endzone." The nerve.

Are you going to be there? If so, I will treat you to a choc. milk and we can watch the Jimmies inaugural foray into D2 together. Perhaps. when time is nigh we can start a thread on score prediction. I'll see you in Sioux Falls!

Just maybe!

And to think it all started based on a goofy little writeup over the availability of a junior bacon cheeseburger in the NSIC.

Which is a real serious problem. Wayne gets a pass for having a Runza but everyone else needs to get it together.

Oh no, I’m not familiar with Runza? What is the story here? The must haves?

It's a Nebraska-based chain that specializes in an empenada-like sandwich called the Runza. It's like a fancy Hot Pocket stuffed with ground beef, cabbage and onions.

Personally, I find them average tasting at best. They benefit from being dipped in a tremendous amount of ketchup.

Their fries are pretty good.

Chocolate milk!

Tundra covered it - Nebraska hot pockets. I first had one near Warren Buffet's office in Omaha, I distinctly remember seeing a car with a "proud Minnesota State parent" sticker on it.

It's not the best thing I've ever had, but it's different. And I like different.

When BSU's old hockey conference, the CHA, held their post season tournament in Kearney, NE, they had Runzas in the "club" area. I thought they were pretty good, but part of that also could have been the amount of beer i/we had drank that day! BSU had a decent following at that tournament, and they had to get their distributor to make an "emergency" delivery because we had pretty much tapped them out of beer the opening day, something their USHL team had never done for a weekend series. It was pushing 80 degrees, sunny, and we also had a grill set up between games. That was a fun time!

Sounds like a heckuva weekend - every time I go to a conference tournament, it's freezing.

It's your dial up internet - they work just fine for me. I can't imagine the athletic department is all too worried about keeping the JV pages up to date with the latest news and stats.

I was curious about the JV schedules with no games listed while the Varsity schedules were listed so I emailed the AD at Jamestown and asked about it. He got back to me and said they're planning to drop the JV programs now that they're D2. That's what I suggested to you. So put that in your chocolate milk and drink it. ;)

I've only been to one at the D2 level and it was basketball, the 2013 WVIAC tournament in Charleston, WV. I used to be an Alderson Broaddus Battlers fan before they closed the school. So I elevated my second team Western New Mexico Mustangs to my top spot and now I'm riding the Jamestown bandwagon for awhile to support them on this board after the pounding they got earlier in this thread. I've never been to Jamestown, but Louis L'Amour came from there and I love his books.
