Many are called and many are chosen!!!

[MAVPOWER]

Now that sdsu is about to get picked for the mid continent I just wanted to name the long list of mostly very undistinguished schools that have graced the halls of the mid cont conference. If I miss a few schools my apologies to those fine institutions of athletic excellence

cleveland state -
e ill
ill-chi
no iowa
sw mo
valpo
w ill
wis gb
wright st
buffalo st
cent ct state
chi state
my beloved roos
ne ill
troy st
oru
so utah
youngstown
oakland
iupui
centenary

They change schools around there like most of us change socks. Your fans are already looking to the big sky and you are not even in the mid cont conference yet.
One suggestion - bring the conf officials to brookings at night. That way maybe they will think that you aren't so rural for their mainly urban conference.
Also, maybe you can pretend that the hour drive after they get off the plane is because of traffic congestion and not bc you are 59 miles away from the nearest airport. Good luck boys.

We love you too, MAVPOWER. Kiss, kiss.

Re: Many are called and many are chosen!!!

MAVPOWER, I appreciate you taking a few minutes away from the fryer between the morning hash brown rush and the noon french fry crowd to do some research for us up here! What would we ever do without you (a nice thought ain't it).

There is no doubt that there has been transition in this conference. Many teams have gone onto bigger and better conference (a plus in my book). What you fail to see is that by adding a couple of land grant institutions such as SDSU and NDSU it can do nothing but bring some stability to the conference. That is one of the major goals that the Mid-Con has for itself. If this ends up being a stepping stone for SDSU, that's fine as well!

THIS JUST IN, WE HAVEN'T BEEN INVITED YET! Probably a formality but it hasn't happened yet.

As for the Big Sky, they have our info and it wouldn't suprise me if they make a pitch at the last minute, but I'm not holding my breath!

Just give me a home where the Buffalo roam!

NOW BACK TO THE FRYER BECAUSE I WILL HAVE FRIES WITH THAT!!!

Just a little heads up for you SUPERBUNNY:

Don't try to talk to mavpower when he's working, he gets confused easily and could hurt himself.

Oh, my, Mavpower. Have you taken any polls of SDSU fans that are clamoring for the BS Conference??? Other than Montana and Mt. State, I don't think any of those conference members are that appealing, especially Sac and Portland States. SDSU fans would prefer that most of their games were played in the same time zone, definitely NOT the Pacific time zone as we would get ZERO coverage from the Argus for those basketball games.

The Mid-Con. people know that Brookings is rural; that information would be in the profile we sent them earlier this year. As for the airport distance, the drive is about 45 minutes, faster than it would take to get from O'Hare to downtown Chicago after you get through the airport and catch a taxi or the "L." Chartering a flight to Brookings could also be a future option (depending on the direction the city takes with the airport).

Re: Many are called and many are chosen!!!

We had that lovely discussion in another thread.

I think it's actually about 53 or 54 miles from Frost Arena to the Sioux Falls airport.

Re: Many are called and many are chosen!!!

yah i know about the past discussion i took part in that, but the earth must have grown since then

Re: Many are called and many are chosen!!!

Ol' Mavpower is just sticking to his BB guns and using the 59-mile mark that he got from Mapquest that measured the distance between the downtowns. I tried to get the actual distance from Frost Arena to the airport, but Mapquest's system is too primative to figure it out. ;D ;D ;D

The Earth isn't growing, my blue-hatted friend, just the jealousy from the Mav twins over the successful D-1 transition by SDSU. 8-) 8-) 8-)

Re: Many are called and many are chosen!!!

I think it's actually about 53 or 54 miles from Frost Arena to the Sioux Falls airport.

If we are going to be picky about the distance I'll throw my .02 in.  

I believe the airport exit (60th St N) is exit 83.  The second Brookings Exit is 133 so lets just say an even 50 miles and call it good.  

By the way,  
It is a 3 hour drive from Vegas to Cedar City, UT
It is a 50 mile drive from Sactown to Davis
It is a minimum 30 miles from the Airport (one similar in size to Brookville) To SLO or if you come in from LA its 3 hours
It is at least 50 miles from San Antonio or Austin to Texas State
It is at least 40 miles from Savannah to Georgia Southern
It is at least 50 miles from Denver to Greeley

I think that bigger city schools are not going to blink on a 50 minute drive from the airport to the hotel.

Google has it at 55.8 miles.
