Well why wouldn't they be cocky, look at their schedule. The funny thing is we had 3,000 more people at our game then the N.C. vs. NDSU game. Wasn't that game hyped up to be a aa classic. On T.V. they showed one side completely empty. And the attendance was 5,311. I thought there would be at least 5,000 bison fans there. Well tickets for tech go on sale tomorrow for $3.00.

Well there was a picture that I found on the bison site and put it here but it shortly got removed. It was a picture of a lady tailgaiting at the bison game with a shirt that said f@#k UND. Bison Guy must of thought it was classy enough so he put up on the bison site only to remove it when I put it up on the sioux site. I can not believe how someone can wear that kind of shirt out in public. It just shows NDSU can get us off their minds. And I really can not believe that a bison fan would put it up on a public board. It's all about bison pride, I guess.

By the way, I got this off the Bison site. It has been on there all day. Tony, you must really be looking the other way on this one. PURE AA CLASS. But what can you expect from the folks down south. They laugh and make fun of the GREEN MILL burning. PURE CLASS.

I see the Bison tailgaitng is off to a good start. This is some pure AA class.

I hope we can get a good crowd on Saturday. Usually our opponets for the opener are not that tough and the crowd is light, but not the case this year. I hope our "O" line is coming around. This will be a huge test for them. It would have been nice to have the line get their feet wet against a lesser opponet, but if they play well Saturday then we will know how well they are coming along. Ball control and field position will be BIG. Of course we are not selling tickets for $5.00 and giving them away to staff and faculty. The Bison started a thread about our crowd and that they will have many more fans then we will. Well let's see at $5.00 a seat and a area three times bigger then Grand Forks they should have tons of people. Welcome to D-1 football you can see a game for 5 cents, I mean a NICKEL, or is it 5 bucks. How exciting. I'm sure the BISON will set a record attendence and it will be ONE more fan then the UND/NDSU game. You know how they figure out their attendences down there. Bubble screen first play of the game saturday?

Anyone know if they are selling alcohol at the Betty, and if they are, can you take them to your seats?

We are ranked pre-season Number #1 and there is no media coverage about football. All they talk about is the world juniors tryouts. I know coach Lennon is very upset about the lack of press , as he should be. You have one of the best teams around and it's two weeks before a big home open game and their is nothing said about it. Could you imagine if it was hockey, there would be something in the paper the last two weeks hyping this up. Let's start getting ready for football and not worry about hockey right now.

Kierah Kimbrough plays for Badger-Greenbush-Middle-River. She is a 6'0'' lefty who can post up and run the floor. She has a great mid-range jump shot which is deadly. In the playoffs last year she was constantly triple-teamed and still scored 20. She is very, very athletic. She averaged I believe over 30 points a game last year. It would be a steal.

Seen her play a couple of times and she is good. It's nice when they commit early. But like you said UND Fan the catch would be to land the Kimbrough gal. She is the real deal. Maybe this could help things out.

Education. You want to talk Education. The reason for THE ndsu bison's move up is a) jelousy and b) football. I think UND does and will do alright in the education side of things. NDSU has the engineering and that crop and weed science degree I heard was outstanding. UND will just get by with the Med. school, law school, Business school, and that other one where they fly airplanes. I think NDSU needs to catch up with UND in so many areas. We can add hosting playoff games in a dome. Remember it's all about football, the other sports don't matter, the research side is just a cover up, it's all about football. Don't you feel sorry for AMY and TIM? Rumor is that MONT. TECH landing a few dandy recruits. Maybe JBB can fill us in on this.

Oh I almost forgot. Bison fans if you really want to see what D1 is all about (real D1) come out and watch UND win a DIVISION 1 NATIONAL HOCKEY TITLE next year. It will be kind of fun.

Maybe in a few years when it all shakes out we will see the bison back down to D2, on their hands and knees begging for a conference. I think I speak for most fans when I say I would rather be playing for a chance of a national title in a sport, rather then just saying, "well, look at the teams were playing, but were not going to win a title". Football and wrestling are your best chances, but what would a football title be worth? It's AA, and that is not even close to the big boys that you claim your going to be someday, (see USC, TEXAS, MIAMI) you are AA don't get it confused with the big boys. And by the way, didn't they carry the title game of AA last year on a weeknight and the D2 title game on a Saturday. If I recall more people tuned in to the D2 game last year then the AA game, by quite a bit. Of course if the bison were in that game it would have outdrawn the ROSE BOWL. O.K. the OUTBACK BOWL.

If your thrown out of a game you sit the next one (NCC rule) doesn't matter what you do to get tossed. But, I guess nobody knows or cares.

I'm glad I went down to the games last night. I have to admit I was a little weary about them. The key was jumping on them in the first inning. It seemed as if our bench really got us going and getting a lead was huge. It was a classic finish with J.J. getting Piepkorn to strike out on a pitch in his eyes. No let down in second game as UND scores 5 in first inning and hangs on for 6-4 win. The only down side was piepkorn didn't make the last out AGAIN!!! I thought Piepkorn had to sit out one game last night. Anyone know any details on this.

It's NDSU's way of creating something that just isn't there. They need to play for some trophy as soon as possible because they really miss the nickel. Poor SDSU, they better get a good look at what the trophy will be because they will never see for awhile. Great rivalry Biiissson. I'm watching ESPN but I don't see the naming of the border battle trophy being covered. Shame on you ESPN.
