All that stress you held in, and now you will watch the Bizon slip.

It does grow on ya!

42nd needed a overpass, underpass, or something way back when the Columbia Road overpass was built.

Not a cowtown, Fargo had the stockyards and auction barn. More like Agricultural town. It was definitely a challenge to get across the tracks.

The construction of the Columbia Road overpass by campus went to the polls multiple times, starting with a few no vote victories. On it's first to build victory, it is was voted in a single lane each way, and initially built that way..

I remember when Miller Lite came out. Most laughed at it and it's watered down taste, me included. Less calories and less filling slowly grew a fan base. Today I do make some heavier beers, but generally drink Bud Light which helps me stick around for the final buzzer.

Congratulations Sicatoka. Ray, it was fun keeping track of your scores.

I used to be a UND Sioux name and logo supporter. Now, I can't wait for it to end (sure officially it's the Fighting Hawks), mostly because it seems to have created and continues to create divisions among us. What other schools / fans say about our name / logo change is minuscule compared to our divisions. The UND Flickertail faithfuls had some resistance, but not at this level. DaveK, Super Dave, Roosevelt83, speed kills, kevad, Dave, Roosey, may all be the same person; but he is not alone in abandoning the Flagship. Yes, the State vote to retire the Fighting Sioux Nickname was 5 years ago; and today the wife and I each received a letter from UND Foundation for supporting the U. Outside of athletics, we have not contributed to the Flagship in the past 5 years. Today we each took out an oar and helped with a small financial donation.

And, their coaches are so good.... It could be a close game!

Siouxphan27, you get another "A". You come up dandies!!!

The Bizon got Stormed in 2020 at the Hawk's Nest.

2 things this bus trip reminds me of, it goes by the campus of the team that SD beat 2 years ago and starts on the campus of the team that beat SD in a wild come from behind win last year.

Bernstine slipped away, ouch. We need to get that coaching contract taken care of.

I still expect that dominant Denver team to loose some players.

NCAA does not give 2 national champions in FCS FB in a season.

That's pretty neat. I'm pretty sure many fans will appreciate seeing your post.

3 years is a long ways away, many conferences could have some changes by 2020.

It's great to have a and be excited about a football program like this, oh and hopefully the Bizon slip a little more again this coming season.

This also shows strength in our recruiting process.

I remember the years of planning, building, and starting to play in The Ralph: WH came up as going to be a new sport at UND. It may have been a bad investment, but a worthy try, cuz UND was considered a hockey school. Most likely though, can't really think anyone in the UND Athletic Dept. taught WH was going to make money, but to ride on the shoulder's of MH. In any event, we got a free new PALACE!!!! Matter of fact what UND sports aren't riding on someone's shoulder? What cuts would Pres. Kennedy have made if we would not have had MH????? Everyone knows MH makes $ except that Bozo with a barrel of ink in Minot. Figure it out, approximately 20 home games and nearly 12,000 fans and the biggest restaurant/bar in the state.

Sigma Nu must of been in what your referring to as the old white house when I was at UND in the early 70's?

But they wouldn't be owned by the U, correct?

What a coin flip, give me a break, the state legislature is way out of bounds on this, don't they have a full enough of a plate with the financial challenges in this state. This reminds me of the ND Attorney General siouxing the NCAA over the SIOUX name and logo. What other U in the country would have their state attorney general file suit? None, the U would handle it themselves. UND and NDSU, together should put this to sleep, maybe by permanently awarding it to the school that wins the first MVFC game, since it was awarded at the annual conference game? That would be fair in that the schedule is not out yet and therefore the home team is unknown. The Nickel does not belong in Bismarck, it should be on one of the campuses.

That debacle as you say was a complete embarrassment for ND. At the time I was already slowly becoming a fan of the Fighting Hawks name and logo, but during those protests is when I gave up on the SIOUX, especially being Standing Rock didn't help us with retaining the SIOUX name years ago. Sure I have lots of UND apparel, and will still wear them, but more for like memory of some great times (not for like some sign of protest) while supporting the Hawks. When the new name first came out and later the logo, I had some negative comments. Now, it's growing on me and I can say I accept it. Time will heal the wound from the name and logo change for many, UND is more important that the logo.
