So your saying that you'd travel to Fargo and only have 4 home games with 2 of those NAIA?

Really - Please tell me which recruit that was said to? Since you go over to Bisonville you know which recruits I'm talking about.

So coaches moving up to higher division fb jobs is a sign of disarray. Good one.. Linebacker coach wanted the DC job and Bohl told him he had to apply - he didn't like so HE decided to look else where. I think you can tell by our recruiting class that nothing was in disarray (we didn't lose a single recruit) and to say different is wishful thinking on your part.

We went head to head with only a few recruits with UND but we heard that UND was telling them that our coaching staff was in disarray and that UND had the largest engineering school in ND. Heard the engineering one from the recruits HS coach. Both recruits committed to NDSU after learning the truth. Negitive recruiting usually fails.

Talked with AD from NDSU and SDSU - They both turned them down. They both said they could play them anytime they wanted but if it was going to be a FBC game they wanted to make some money or have a return game which we know that Hawaii will not do. Plus it's a bitch of a trip if you have to play the next week. There's no upside to the game.

You know this how? When Hawaii contacted us they would only pay expenses. But maybe they're having a hard time getting home games too. We'll see.

Hawaii is a non money game - they pay your expenses over and back and that's it. Good job on San Diego & Fresno but 2 NAIA home games?

What mess? It was RT's decision not to play - we're just finishing what he started.

Well hell if UND is willing to only play in Fargo I don't think we have any problems.

UND will not come to the dome without a return game - get it!

Your right forgot about that last one.

Plague? What world are you in - Did you see the vote 90-3.... You forgot we gain NOTHING by playing you. That's why it won't happen for awhile. Last time I looked you only had 3 home games. You only had 4 last year with a 10 game schedule. Had to hurt the bottom line.

Your equating fighting to spanking?

Lets put it this way they're be light years ahead of anything you'll put on the floor....

Never said that we could replace them just we won't be as bad as most of you are hoping for.

Fact is you don't know which Summit teams will be good next year and you don't know the quality of NDSU's red shirting class. Coach Saul was in on recruiting all the senior kids. Who do you think was in on the Wis. kids? Sure it hurts to lose 4 great starters but we'll reload and give it a run.

NDSU has proven they don't need to play UND - The same can't be said for UND yet. With only 4 home games last year and only 3 scheduled this year it looks like your having a lot harder time of it. By the way where is all that political clout that some of the previous posters were talking about? Talked with a friend in the legislature and he said that everyone he talked to in the legislature that wasn't a NDSU or UND fan told him that they were proud of the way NDSU has handled the transition and especially beating MN in football. They weren't about to interfere with the scheduling. They would like to see the game but understood the complexity of the issue and why now it would cost NDSU money to start a home and home. They're hoping that UND can get into the MVC.

Untrue about the bb tournament. You always had the Hyslop which holds as many as the BSA - attendance was the problem.

I agree I hope they stay a long time and so does everyone else. You & everyone else seem to forget about Title 9 for adding sports.

Neither the Dome or NDSU has the EXTRA cash it would take for hockey..... It's not going to happen..

Man you sure like to propose preposterous scenarios. If I was you I'd worry (create scenairos) more about how the REA will look when they replace all the logo's and how the REA foundation will view the new nickname and not whether NDSU will add hockey. (which will never happen)

He's been kicked off it.

Why would you be talking about something that will never happen?

A little history lesson. The only reason "pipes" were added to the FD was as a backup in case the predicted event days didn't pan out. Then hockey could be added. Since the FD has never had a problem with event days and is highly sucessful hockey was never added. The FD is now all paid off and more than paying it's way. It's doing exactly what it was designed for. Adding hockey would be a money loser for the FD because of all the event days taken away, it will never happen - ever.

Your right the name has nothing to do with it - IMO
