I don't think the Historical Society would understand enough as how to secure it properly, someone would steal it. The only safe place is play for it, because that way if it gets stole, it'll always show up, history has proven that. I've had my hands on it a few times. They say you never forget how, once you milked a cow.

The Bizon football players couldn't lift it.

And, how did you feel this morning? Hear there are many MVFC hang overs in Fargo this morning! Also, lots of road rage.

There isn't anything that would be better, bring it out of mothballs, let the games begin! That in itself would help us re-unite, and the press always loved that traveling trophy, "The Nickle". What about all the people that had their hands on it, that's a deal maker right there.

1st win as a lame duck in the Big Sky

Need the players to hustle and play good defense, the points should come after that, against SUU.

I'm thinking not UNI because they don't have a Pres., they probably were one of the OK's or abstain. SD radio station mention 2 SD's were 2 of the big supporters. That's from one of the SD posters.

With our new President in DC and his Bringing America Back, it think the timing is perfect!

Most likely everyone will be included in the playoffs somehow. They'll figure that out when time comes, who know there may be more membership changes before then? Getting to like this move more as the day goes on!

Absolutely, you put this gap closing on a graph, NDSU line is dropping down and UND's is going up, by or before MVFC time, the lines collide.

Right, that's all said to stir the pot. Bison are still playing better FB, we all understand that part. The thing Culhane forgot to mention is the wall on the north side of NDSU did fall down today.

Valid points, it just a long time till 2020-21 FB season. But then again, for those who enjoyed FB in the Big Sky, they get three more years.

The wall on the north side of Fargo just fell down.

That is really going to be tough, hate it, wonder how much energy was put into negotiating that out of the deal. I think the buyout option would of been better, if there would of been one. The cost of three more years of flying the FB team around could of gone partly towards a buyout. That's a lot of money and also the funky cloud hanging over the FB team for 3 years. I'd say this is the weakest part of the whole deal.

Very good point, I was kind of put back a little when Pres. Kennedy answered question about how we to pay entry fees $250,000 and $300,000. Didn't say much, but was really talking out of the side of his mouth, never seen him do that before. Audio was really bad, maybe I'm over reacting.

Chicken dinner, apple pie Sadly, goodbye Big Sky 2018-19 onto the Summet 2020-21 onto MVFC

That's the take from one MH game.

The Montana schools are the one's I'll really miss, and yes we played them prior. Over all this is a good move.

2018 all sports move to Summit except FB 2020 FB moves to MVFC

are you serious or trolling, I will check if serious ?

"when enough school presidents of the Summit and Missouri Valley Football Conference give approval for UND in two separate expansion votes, then that will be like the Berlin Wall between Fargo and Grand Forks being torn down.
