I moved down with my upper bowl ticket both games. Just walk by no eye contact like youve been there before. If they check just go to the next usher. Scalpers wanted higher than retail.

Yeah see that nice new aerospace tower building being built? New med school right on Gateway. Nice looking alumni center just built. Beautiful sky walks with university of north dakota written on them. Driving on 42nd by the black glass aerspace/entrpreneurship is a timeless beauty. Anything but a dump. Driven through NDSU many times. Nothing says wow thats nice...maybe there wellness center.

By "Big" they mean UND...

Here's what I wrote in 2002 the day NDSU declared Division I. Instead the GF Herald runs opeds about how UND should stay Division II. Then UND fans were split on if we should go or not on this message board. http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/1472-should-und-go-division-i/?mode=show Is UND still doing damage control? There were a lot of naysayers back then. (Not me though -TheSiouxFan) http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/256-ndsu-decides-to-move-to-d-i/ UND will soon be getting a video board in the betty I'm sure because NDSU will soon be getting a nice one.

And I agree with you on this stuff too. We're all fighting the same cause. One day there might be two North Dakota schools in March Madness. Now that'd be cool.

I have a problem with UNDs mediocrity. I just don't blame it on NDSU. At least not directly. Its like a bunch of nerds/overweight guys (division 2) sitting at a table when all of a sudden one guy (NDSU) declares, "Im gonna lose weight and talk to hot chicks." While the other kids (UND and USD) laugh, ridicule, and say "yeah right whatever. Good luck (rolls eyes)". They are dating the cheerleader. UND is on the treadmill. UND inability to lead ("its ok we have hockey") has put themselves in this situation. These things start to change the culture of an institution. NDSU football won back to back FCS championships with two different coaches. NDSU men's basketball went to back to back NCAA tournament appearances with two different coaches. These things don't happen overnight. Its been over a decade in the making. I don't blame NDSU for wanting to better themselves and then blame that for why I can't date a cheerleader. Having a strong NDSU pushes UND to do better. How UND decides to react is up to it fans and administration. (Where's the Betty's video board? - this is a microcosm of the differences).

KVLY has a bison logo at the bottom of the entire newscast. Its stuff like that that matter. They'd never put a UND one no matter how many FCS championships UND hypothetically would have won.

So your saying advance NDSU again? Idaho complains about the same thing with Boise State.

You just named all stations based in Fargo, the hometown of NDSU. So that's nothing new. Nothing one can do GF doesn't even have their own weekend news casts. This isnt D2 football competing for North Dakota farm boys anymore. UND has one player from North Dakota. NDSU has two. UND and NDSU rarely compete for the same basketball players. How far is the distance that matters? Is the Gopher Hockey team concerned because UND is #1 in the country? Minnesota was better than UND last year. Doesn't seem to matter much to the Gophers this year.

NDSU is gonna win. I guess that means UND will be worse than they would have been had NDSU lost.

Their message board. They literally despise anything FCS. Truly see it as Division 2.

The Idaho Vandals that say Those Idaho Vandals?

Tylers got coaching and Sioux hockey in his blood. Not only won a MN hockey championship in second year (egf first) but did it back to back. He also played for both Hakstol and Blais. Hes a quickly rising star in the coaching ranks. Blais and Palmiscino have won MN HS hockey titles as head coaches. Hakstol has never been been on any championship team (joining UND after the 2000 natty) after finishing his head coaching record of 101-109 in the ushl.

Fire Hak. Hire Palmiscino? Simple question.

If Mussman finished second in the Big Sky he would have been in the FCS playoffs.

Lets not get too crazy. Theres no FCS in college basketball. Both Jones and Mussman played the same teams.

You didn't hear about the bear wondering around Grand Forks a few months ago?

Pink with "Erin."

Me too. Might as well get the girlfriend one.

Hire bemidji st coach?

No directv? Wtf

The same place all your missing Bison fans were the last year these two teams played? I think NDSU averaged 11,000 fans and after losing to UND had a game or two around 7,000.

I meant hypothetical. First year after a long absence. First time in FCS with the Bison winning too many to count back to backs. Id say > 30,000.

How many tickets could this game sell?

Yes I should have looked at the full schedule. Opps.
