Does NDSU usually open up tailgating the night before a game?...tailgaters are already in line waiting to get a (their) spot.

Took a selfie with the nickel a few months ago at the UND Gala.

Even that is a highly debated number. That would imply a bunch of 7 year olds are entering also for the "average" to be 13.

That sure was nice of the Forum newspaper to post a full page picture of the nickel trophy in UNDs brand new recruiting advantage indoor practice facility on the front page of the sports section today.

Rvs are much better than tents.

I should have said "he owns those three trade names. ".... Which I later wrote" it's different than a trademark." & "it's a trade name." My point: What's to stop the next guy from trademarking and/or tradename the names for his college basement athletic teams consisting of air hockey and Foosball. That he also wants to sell shirts for online. Then someone takes UND to court for using North Dakota Fighting Hawks when UND with its infinite wisdom could have avoided the whole mess. I messed up on a message board. The Herald messes up a much read headline. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3838901-former-bismarck-mayor-registers-trademarks-state-3-5-und-nickname-options

Either way he owns those three trademarks currently for that purpose. Its better to have all of them and lose others than hoping to get one and finding out they are already registered. You can register anything with the state. You register it when you want to start using it. Its different than a trademark. You don't have to prove you are currently using it. You just have to keep paying the fees to keep it active with the state. Its a trade name.Even so, he could place a $10 ad in a newspaper once a year per name and call it good. I can start the same business with three different names. Nothing illegal doing that. Its like a subsidiary. Maybe those "subsidiarys" might fail within the first year...so be it. But my point which maybe you're missing is that it would be a shame if UND hasn't registered the remaining names with the state already for the intented purposes. This might be a wake up call to UND to get their sh!t together.

That's unfortunate to hear.

Dive at those ankles early and often boys!

NDSU went Division One because they got tired of playing second fiddle to UNDs Division One sports team. Soon NDSU will be playing second fiddle again to all of UNDs Division One sports teams.

Facepalm to this administration if they didn't already register the five remaining options for "athletic sports teams." Which I have a feeling they haven't.....*facepalm.* Because if they did, it would have been reported.

The silver lining is I'm sure the coaching staff had a gameplan of a heavy dose of Santiago running the football. And when that was shut down (fumbles) it forced them to work on other aspects. Hopefully they will all come together next week.

I've been hearing that for 15 years. It might slow down but it'll still be going strong. Every year Grand Forks needs about five new apartment buildings to keep up with the growth.

They play some good football up in em Dakotas.

You got UND and Portland State beating FBS teams, Montana beating NDSU. Cal Poly beating Montana, Southern Utah losing by three to a FBS school, and Eastern Washington putting up 42 points on the Oregon Ducks. The Big Sky is going to be a tough conference.

Not to mention all these MWC teams have the advantage of playing every game at home.

....formally.

Heres the deal---everything UND does is public information.....iitts a puuubblliiicc uuunnivveersitty. You're quit the Sherlock there Holmes. You live in a vacuum or is it dementia?

Gotta love the headlines "North Dakota dominates Wyoming." Wyoming had only lost to one other FCS school. http://m.trib.com/sports/college/wyoming/football/north-dakota-dominates-wyoming-in-season-opener/article_4545b396-2ceb-58a7-8e67-694a39956539.html?mobile_touch=true

And South Dakota State beat the Kansas Jayhawks.

I like it.

Bubba is already .500 against FBS teams. Craig Bohl is still .000 against UND.

I'm worried. Wyoming can't play any worse the second half.

I'd feel better about this game if UND had a proven qb or running back.

First things first at UND. "Don't worry hockey will definitely do it. The other sports are wait and see." The money at UND Athletics will always go to hockey first. We all know that. It pays the bills. Except women's hockey which is laughable they were going to give it to them and not women's basketball.
