BobIwabuchiFan Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm interested based on the people on this board what the breakdown would be for people for or against ever playing the Bison in football again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobIwabuchiFan Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Yeah, I would be interested why WYOBISONMAN would be against starting up the rivalry again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I vote Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYOBISONMAN Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Reason? I'm just curious. Just to give you guys some grief... ..LOL.....it really makes no difference to me. My only take on it is that I would not want to do it every year (unless we were in the same conference). I do like to see a variety of teams for the OOC part of the schedule. Every second or third year would be fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This thread is stupid. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-1 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Who cares. Get in a conference and nobody will care about it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I voted no.............. And I also tend to agree with dakotadan................. I predict that this thread will end badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I voted no.............. And I also tend to agree with dakotadan................. I predict that this thread will end badly. This could rival some of the posts that happend on Billigerentville aka Bisonville... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MplsBison Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 There won't be a real rivalry again until the teams are in the same conference. Playing every two or three years is not going to cut it. As a simple matter of logistics, I would think that NDSU and UND are destined to be in the same conference. Although, there are plenty of examples of dual flagship states where each is in a different conference (Iowa comes to mind). Hopefully that isn't the case. I'd rather see ND like Michigan. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star2city Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'd like to see the first installment of a UND-NDSU game be in the playoffs in the Alerus in 2012. First playoff game for both teams. Big Sky Champ vs 3 rd place MVFC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herd Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Kind of a mute point. You AD is the only opinion that matters, and he said no to an offer on the table. So I guess the answer is officially No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed it when he said the first game be a PLAYOFF game. BSC champs (UND) hosting 3rd place in the MVFC (NDSU). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYOBISONMAN Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Didn't Gene turn down an offer as well? Gene didn't want to play every year as it would limit our OOC options. Faison would only do an every year deal. The bottom line is that if NDSU and UND are to start playing agin in football and they are not in the same conference it can never be an every year deal. There are too few options for OOC games to tie one up every year. If UND gets into the Sky that will become very obvious. Both sets of fans will want to see variety and some FBS competition in those OOC dates. As for Faison wanting an every year deal....right now the Sioux need good games not having a decent conference. NDSU does not need the game. I can see why that is what Faison wanted, but he held no trump cards. He should have taken the every other year deal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being a little sarcastic as once again its all UND's fault. Both schools are doing what is in there best interest and I understand that. I was just pointing out that it goes both ways as both AD's have their feet planted firmly in the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't know that playoff games are bid out by the NCAA? Unless you're one of the top 4 seeded teams in the playoffs (in which case you automatically host), the rest of the games are bid on by the rest of the pool. The schools that bid the most get to host. I believe first round pairs are then chosen based on geography of the hosts and non-hosts. Something like that.

WYOBISONMAN Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Now this game is a moot point. I doubt it will ever get played on a regular basis because both schools have minimal OOC slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYOBISONMAN Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That's fine, both schools have much bigger fish to fry than each other. Yup.....like FBS money games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
