This post wasted 30 seconds of my life.

Hey DaveK, you said you would blow a gasket if the Bison won... Well did you???

Bison laid a 2x4 on the Sioux today, winning 19-5. This Bison team should have a much better record than they have. They've lost something like 10-11 games by 2 runs or less.

1) I will give you the St. Francis comment, as we had a home game lined up with Georgia Southern, but they decided to be bastards and weasel out of that game, 2) If you ever talk to a Lafayette fan on AGS, I will gladly give them this quote from you to read.

And Hammersmith delivers the knockout punch...

Wow... You know absolutely NOTHING about NDSU, do you??

So UND leads the state in producing scheisters and ambulance chasers. Fine. NDSU can continue to pop out the architects and software engineers. That's OK with me.

Bison men's basketball averages over 3,000 fans per game. I have never heard of a Moorhead hockey game getting that much.

We can't help it that Fargo is the only civilized place in the state...

BTW, one more thing: If all that UND fans have to smack at NDSU's football attendance is "Ha-Ha!! You guys only average about twice as much as us per game, but you should be averaging three times as much as us!! Naa-naa-na-boo-boo!!!", then I guess the situation at UND's football program is worse than I thought. If you want to make fun of our men's basketball team for ONLY averaging 80 percent more per game than your men's team, please be my guest.

*sigh*, I can't believe I'm wasting a few minutes of my time responding to this, but OK, if you insist... Grand Forks Metro Area Population - GF/Polk counties (2007 estimate) - 97,691 UND football average attendance in 2007 - 9,887 9,887/97,691 = 10.12 percent of metro population Fargo-Moorhead Metro Statistical Area Population - Cass/Clay counties (2007 estimate) - 192,417 NDSU football average attendance in 2007 - 18,141 18,141/192,417 = 9.43 percent of metro population DIFFERENCE: LESS THAN 7/10 OF A PERCENT (Never mind that Bison football averaged 8,254 more per game than UND last season.) I now await your feeble attempt at spin to say I'm wrong. But the numbers don't lie.

PLEASE do not listen to him, he does not speak for us!!!

And the Herald is in no way whatsoever a mouthpiece for the UND administration??

Average ACT scores are almost identical between both schools with NDSU at 23.0 and UND with 23.4 (the number I recall). Nobody takes the SATs in this part of the country. I couldn't even find a high school in the Twin Cities that offered an SAT test back in the late 90's. SAT's are irrelevent. Thanks for giving me that good laugh!! I had a hard day today, and needed something to take the edge off.

UND and NDSU have identical acceptance criteria. It's been that way for a few years now. NDSU is not accepting any less-qualified students than UND is getting, because the criteria is the same. It's that UND is recieving a lot more applicants who are not qualified to be college students than NDSU. Obvuisly, that's why UND turns away more students. In fact, one could say that this is happening because lately, more of the less-successful HS students who are unsure of their college entry qualifications are now applying to UND thinking that it will be easier to get in there than NDSU.
