Lets see how many people we can get together this afternoon and go have a picnic on a sidewalk around campus. Doesn't seem to take much to get the president to change his mind.

Good write up by Miller. OL is still such a question mark for this season. LT is a very important position and either of our top two options there right now have not taken snaps at the spot or have very limited snaps there.

You really need someone to explain it to you?

You should go read your quote again. You said they could charge the $60 premium for every game and sell out.

This is my thought when I read these tweets. Would 5 years make it any better?

Great story. Thank you for sharing. Welcome to Jahmere. This kid has been through a lot. He is a very well spoken individual.

I don't buy it. I live in Fargo. Tickets can be had if you ask around. Very similar to UND hockey. Ask around in Gameday, you'll find something.

You really believe they could sell out at $60 a ticket every game?

So why would UND or UNI for that matter play NDSU there for an unequal gate or allow it to be a home game for NDSU? Doesn't make much sense.

There would be plenty of UND fans at a UND/NDSU game in the cities. NDSU has already proven that a ticket for a UND game is a premium seat compared to anyone else in their conference by far. Why agree to pad their pocket book? The current contract is for the games in Fargo. If that location is changed, the dollar figure changes with it. Question- do you think NDSU would play UNI in Minneapolis if it is a UNI home game and they get the gate?

Split the gate and I'm onboard.

The Billings Gazette is ranking he top 100 players in the league. The paper does a good job at finding different ways to bring attention to the players in the league. http://m.billingsgazette.com/sports/college/big-sky-conference/best-of-the-big-sky-ranking-the-top-players-in/article_4d1d67e6-14a4-51ec-92be-4e7e646fc329.html?mobile_touch=true

I'd say if all the BigSky schools, including Idaho have a home after a split/shakeup happens, he did his job.

Also, here is an article with a quote from your interim AD at the time the contract was signed saying the nickel trophy is no longer part of the tradition. As much as you want it to be true, your athletic director agreed to it in the final negotiations and it was covered up front. http://www.inforum.com/content/ndsu-interim-athletic-director-says-taylor-spearheaded-renewing-und-football-games

Maybe it was part of the deal when Gene Taylor kept moving goalposts to get the series restarted. It could have been part of the contract that Gene let sit on his desk. After all , according to your athletic dept this is just another game to fill the schedule.

Never intended to put words your mouth. I was responding to Dans comment. Why compare ticket prices to Montana prices? Why not compare them to a "conference rival" that your fanbase loims forward to year in and year out. It's the constant down play of this game by some of your fanbase that is amusing.

The article below says Griz sideline tickets went on sale last year for $45. So are you comparing the same tickets, is the article wrong or did Dan exaggerate his price to try and prove a point? http://www.wday.com/content/bison-football-ticket-prices-sky-rocket-secondary-sites Edit: Never mind- I saw he was posting about this year and I read it wrong. He's trying to compare the ticket prices in Montana to the prices in Fargo. Whatever it takes to try and justify this game not being a big deal.

What's that same ticket selling for Sept 19th?

Most do but no one chimed in to stop the bidonville logic being argued with Schlossman yesterday. It was entertaining. "Money isn't an issue at NDSU".

According to NDSU fans tweets yesterday, money isn't an issue at NDSU.

Kansas and Iowa St received roughly 30 million each last year from Conference distributions. That's big boy money. I think they could afford more scholorahips to keep receiving that money. Plus, many conference commissioners are on record stating that figure will increase in the coming years. So to answer your question, Kansas and Iowa st will stay right where they are.

I know your 70 miles south but do you understand the !@#$ storm that would show up at the Fargodome of the buckle trophy was on the line?

There was also earlier talk of P5 schools wanting to add scholarships. If they add 10-15 scholorahips, that's a big difference.

LOL. Could we get Jim Ross on the mic to do a WWE entrance? "Oh my God, its UND athletic director Brian Faison."

Which is why they fired their coach. It's like the FU teams from when the Fargodome opened until 2010.
