snaggles

Bunning said a long time ago that UND would play the bison in any sport. I don't think the bison's BB schedule is set yet for next year, and even if it is I think that you could buy out the bison-valley city game for $45.00 and have a UND-bison game in front of a packed BSA. And you can't say that football and men's BB are the only two sports that matter. Look at the success of the bison women in the 80's and UND's success in the 90's and 00's in women's BB. ndsu tradition in men's BB is very minute, excluding a couple of upset wins the last couple of years. And UND's tradition used to be very strong but most people now are into our womens program much more. Let's not all forget about when the UND baseball beat the bison a few years ago and about five minutes after the game the bison coaches broke the two year contract to play UND. Nobody wants to remember that.

It's plain and simple that there are a few avid bison fans and alums that are putting pressure on Taylor not to play UND. His most recent excuse is that the other coaches for the bison might get upset if the football team plays UND before they do. Let's see, a sold out Fargodome where you could get premium bucks for a ticket or a soccer game in front of 50 people or a baseball game in front of 700 people. I think if Taylor had to do it all over again, he wouldn't have made that silly remark. Eddy just mocked Taylor about using that excuse the whole show. I don't think that the other bison coaches would be upset if we played in football before them. Bunning even said that UND would play the bison in every sport next year, so that excuse does hold water water. All the bison have to do is drop valley city off the BB schedule and it's game on. I know amy is a little scared to play UND, but I don't blame her. Maybe the real truth is that they saw that we beat N. Iowa in FB and they are a little worried that the little old DII school would give them more that what they can handle. Come on Taylor, accept the challenge. And mav, if you are a avid bison fan, no way would you rather see the bison play Georgia Southern instead of UND. By saying that you just admitted to not being much of a bison fan. And the dome would sell out in a HURRY for that game. I want to hear Taylor next excuse why they don't want to play UND next year.

With the bison playing there 8th game this week against some utah team who has a losing record like all the other teams the bison have played, the question is this. Is there any other team in the country, other than the bison, where all the opponents played do not have a winning record? This is just a curious question that would be interesting to find out. I have heard alot of bison fans say this is there toughest schedule ever. This is hard to believe since none of the bison opponents so far, including this weekend, has a winning record. With this said, the bison are a hect of a team who out played the gophers on saturday, and I give them alot of credit for that accomplishment.

Is the Alerus going to be charging for parking? I heard it was going to be $5.00 to park there. What's the latest?

With the big win against UNI and starting off with 2 great road wins, I see a big crowd for saturday's game. I'm hoping for 11,000 but I think it will be around 10,000. You got two burners to watch (Dressler and Chappell, local kid). You got POTATO BOWL. First home game. And a bunch of players to watch that are unfamiliar to many sioux fans. I heard about three names yesterday that I have never heard of before. And they were all out there on Defense at the same time( D-line) and they held there own. I believe one was a freshman, one a sophomore, and one a junior. Is Brennan becoming the next Digger? What a game he had. Hect, if the weather is decent, there might be 10,000 people tailgaiting. O.K. not quite ten. What's everybody think for attendence this saturday?

I agree dave. All the bison fans have been saying for 3 years is that there is a bis jump from DII to aa. And they all said that this game would prove the point. Well bison fans, "look at us now, look at us now". A little saying from Paul Allen "WERE COMING, WERE COMING". If some of the bison posters would have just been half a$$ed decent this would not turn to smack, but some of them got so cocky about this whole thing DII versus aa deal it is sick. Tell me know bison fans, what is the difference between DII and aa. Now I bet they all want to play for the NICKEL, which is locked down in G.F. for how long now. I might have some mistakes here, but it's three in the morning and the celebration is going strong.

I got a good laugh that morning when K-DOG snapped on sywg and swore at him. Didn't the dog get banned from there show for like two weeks. Well, it just meant those other radio stations were busy taking calls from the dog.

I know it's been said before. But I start laughing when ever I see this logo. Just look at the face and try to understand what it means. Is the cowardly lion sad, thinking, upset, confused, pissed off, or just tired. It is the weakest logo I have seen in a long time. At least it was well thought out.

Doesn't leave much time to find a new coach. Schmidt would be a good replacement, but I don't know if he would leave crookston right now. He has a good thing going there. Good football team and a great young talented girls BB team. Lennon will be on Tim and Sywg show wednesday morning so he might address this at that time along with other important issues. It's about time that our radio guys have Lennon on to talk about FB and the news worthy D-I move.

Ah, the fargodome history. Those were great games that UND played in there. It's nice to see us owning TWO beautiful football buildings. I still can't believe the bison never hosted a playoff game in the fargodome. The timing for UND to go DI is right, football and womens BB are dominating DII. What was the reasoning for the bison to go DI so soon? It's not like they were dominating DII, or the NCC like UND was. Oh ya, I remember, JEALOUSY.

Dan, I suppose when the bison made the jump it was all for educatuional purposes. Ya right. The bison jumped ship because it was football driven and they could not handle the tough ncc at the time. Let's see the bison did not win a conference title the past 10 years. Boy, that must have just burned you guys. How did the last game go between the two of us?

I think it's a great hire. He was my choice from the start. He coached with Alford at a big time BB school. Alford played for Knight at a tradition rich school, Indiana. I like the connections this guy can bring to UND. It will be fun just to see how different UND will be. Such as half court game, different defenses, different coaching styles. This change will be good. Best of luck coach Jones.

You are catching on Danny.

Don't you get the humor. Hobey Baker, T.J. Oshie. T.J. Baker.

I just watched the interview with Carle on espn news. He has done alright so far with the sharks. I believe he has 2 goals and 3 assists through six games. Congrats to Carle. Next year it will be T.J. BAKER.
