UNI is the premier FCS athletic program

Post by clenz »

In the past 3 years they have had 11 NCAA post season appearences in the 4 "major" NCAA sports (Men's BB & FB and Women's BB & VB). The next closest of the 132 FCS schools has 6 appearences.

How many did Montana have? Talk about a sorry athletic program. Football and nothing else. Pathetic.

If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Football is the only sport SIU can thump their chests about. Their other programs are pathetic. This isn't just about football, nor are athletic departments....and UNI has more conference titles in that time in football, and a S16 run

I agree with the flagship designation.

As you know I havent been impressed by the football but the basketball is remarkable. Wrestling has been capable too.
Dear Lord, We come before you and humbly ask you to grant our prayer for a veil of protection to be placed over Donald Trump. May your will be done. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

That is true. Wrestling isn't included in that, but UNI wrestling has been, and will soon again be, a top 15-20 wrestling program - and the best in the Western Wrestling Conference.

ODU is a perennial top 20 program. :D

Looking forward to ODU men's basketball season opener against UNI at the Ted in Norfolk this year. A match-up between a couple flagships. :thumb: :nod:

Gonna see what a true homecourt advantage is like.

Anyone who says that Montana is football and nothing else hasn't been paying attention. Their boys hoops team has been to the NCAAs at least a couple of times this decade. That's something the majority of us can't say.

In those sports (I'm not sure why WVB is included, but whatever), Montana has five appearances: 2 FB, 1 MBB, 2 WBB.

Yeah, except with the way the men's team has played the last three years compared to the women I'd think it would be more of the men's arena right now but ODU's WBB is back on the rise. :thumb:

Also, just add to what superhornet said FWIW ODU's men's basketball coach Blaine Taylor spent a part of his career at Montana as I believe the head coach and is now the winningest coach in ODU history. :thumb: :notworthy:
