And the originator of the trophy, UND alumni.

I could never buy a Plasma. The glare would drive me crazy.

To bring up an old topic, but I love showing off my projector. Here's a picture of me watching the Sioux beat Wisconsin in High Definition on the 100" "TV" in my apartment! And a couple Sioux fans doing the "terrorist fist jab" in the background. (maybe I should have combed my hair)

This is where you start to get worried with a split.

Does this make you delusional? Or just simple minded since there was 12k at the Fargodome tonight? The attendance has got to be one of the greatest disappointments in NDSU football history.

Don't you have a picture of a Sioux football player as your avatar on bisonville.com?

7-0 RM scored on the opening drive. Didn't expect that. Lots of run plays. The quarterback likes to run.

Yes on NBC.

Lennon's third year as head coach.

Six more hours to sell tickets and I am sure there will be a large walkup crowd.

And is it really needed by UND? an extra 4-6,000 fans every other year for one game at UND? Percent wise of fans attending sporting events at their perspective colleges UND would have less to gain.

I am sure that Notre Dame is hating it!!! But the Sioux are LUVIN it. I get up and dance. When people see how much fun I am having to the song they start having more fun too

So on the biggest eve of Bison football ever, I took a sioux fan bus to the hockey game. Boy was it fun. Another sellout crowd. Bus after Bus lining up outside the ralph. I boarded one. Looked out the window and saw the magnificent Ralph Engelstad Arena as we parted. Sioux fans in the back of the bus started chanting "!@#$ the gophers." I was reminded how little the word "bison" even cross most Sioux fans mind..... Just went to bisonville.com. Clicked their main sports page: "football"....clicked "playoff crowd" (only topic in the top five relating about the game tomorrow).....went to the current page (25) with six of the eight posts having some kind of reference to the Fighting Sioux. Different cultures indeed at the two schools.

Notre Dame is for real. Probably split. I think we will see Eids in net one of the nights.

I hate to give a way my secrets especially to a Bison Fan but here you go. It's top notch rankings. They use it to help determine the Champion Game in the BCS. It should help you realize just how weak Robert Morris is. Massey Ratings 23-6.

Anyways.....Now that we all agree NDSU was better than Montana this year (and the computer rankings even back it up). They also say NDSU has a 90% chance of winning this game.

Your right UNDershirt. Welcome to the Board. But I wouldn't expect them to run the bubble screen four times in a row. I was tired of watching it back then, but found myself wishing they used it a lot more this year especially with our seemingly inaccurate passers. For what its worth, one of the plays was the "long run of the day." He gets a little more leeway. As much as I may be unhappy with Mussman, I wouldn't fire him this year. He is learning and had a lot of things going against him.

You mean like the exact same run play four times in a row at Montana?

Maybe people can educate me on FCS playoffs, but it sounds like it needs to be reevaluated. Sounds like the decisions are made in a smoke filled backroom. Oh and by the way, its not a hard set rule you can't make the playoffs without seven wins:

I am here for you Oxbow. I completely get what you are saying. People forget where all this "disagreement" started. WyoBison thought Montana would get in with a "stronger schedule." Exactly. "Stronger Schedule" not necessarily. Those are arbitrary words. Hindsight it 20/20. When Montana saw their schedule in the beginning of the year they weren't like Oh no a D2 team. Maybe we should not have scheduled them cause they will get us out of the playoffs. As Oxbow said: It's simple. Win more games and Montana makes the playoffs.

I know how FCS teams get into the playoffs thanks but it's not all that matters. Numberous FCS teams across the country schedule D2 teams. They must not have the attitude of holier than thou. It's not just about the first to seven wins cause UND is again playing FBS teams. Winnable games yes but not likely. They wanted the money. They could have just scheduled a couple Valpo teams at the alerus and be two wins closer to 7. So if you going to schedule two "almost automatic" losses. Not a big deal playing teams we have played for centuries.

Sounds like 1 and 3 could be applied to UND playing a Division 2 school.

I think even if Landry doesn't get hurt Sioux fans would still be talking about a 2010 Season in Review. 2010 Season in Review: 1: Total number of wins against IAA opponents with football programs before this year.

Care to tell me how Minnesota (any FBS teams) has gained anything by playing DIAA teams, aside from filling holes in their schedule?

Teams cancel their scheduling commitments all the time. Happened to NDSU that's why they called. Just pointing out that yes it is easy to believe they will play again in the foreseen future, especially now that UND has a conference. And one or both could easily "change their stance." I haven't heard one AD say yet lets just play a simple home and home for starters and go from there?! Wow there's a shocker. Schedule NDSU like you do with most other nonconference games. It might mean a lot to North Dakota natives but for these two non North Dakotan AD's they have a lot more to worry and care about than one football game a year.
