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.



You can now refer to UNI as "flagship"

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

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.

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.

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.

:ohno:

Does the WBB team let the men play in their arena at ODU? Neat. :lol: :lol: :lol:

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:

When did women's volleyball become one of the top NCAA sports, SuperHornet? :rofl:

Try baseball.
