  1. I'll post this question here since it relates to the Alerus and football.

    Can't say I blame them with such a difference in revenue, but any thoughts as to why the revenue at the Al is so comparatively poor? Simply a function of walk up traffic due to market size?

    If you go back to when Class AAA started, one of the 3 (now 4) Fargo schools has probably been in the championship nearly every year. Also, Shanley has put together a nice run and has been playing in the championship the last number of year. Even years when one of the Fargo teams is not in the championship, you have a pool of fans from 4 class A schools in the same city. Most likely two of those schools were playing in the semi finals the week before and will have an interest in the game.

    Not hard to figure out where the revenue differences are coming from.

  2. You do know that Missouri State is game three right? They haven't won more than 6 games since 1996. Not exactly solid, but the rest of your post is spot on.

    They will be solid. They have a three year starter back at QB who is athletic and some weapons around him on offense. They put up points on some good defenses last year and going off last year, our defense didn't stop anyone.

  3. How is it an elite camp if people can just walk up and register?

    I would guess the coaches have invited a specific group of recruits. If you are getting guys you are targeting to this camp, someone who you may not have on your list may sneek on the radar with a good performance if you let guys sign up who want to be challenged.

  4. Williston is not a Whole Foods kind of town. I doubt many there would care about organic foods. I noticed you skipped over the Swiss 500 million development project headed by a NDSU grad. Doesn't fit your narrative?

    People in Williston will buy groceries where ever is convenient, easy and items are available.

  5. It would be nice if we could do yearly home and home with FU every year. It would benefit both schools schedules.

    Also, I agree with the earlier post, it would be great to get USD and Omaha on alternating years of FU and BU. I wouldn't mind playing those teams yearly.

    Other than mostly road games, if that is truly the schedule, it will be challenging and is a nice schedule from a competitive standpoint.

  6. Just spent two weeks in the Bakken and am even more grateful UND has aligned themselves with these companies the way they have. The plans these companies have layed out not only in the Bakken but where they are headed 5 and 10 years down the road is very detailed and impressive. If UND can work with these companies to help develop the type of employees they need, the new program will be very valuable to the midwest with a great ROI for the university.

  7. If you think that mess called the WAC or what's left of a once proud and competitive conference is something to be pounding the drum for, you are as shortsighted as NDSU fans who think the SL or MVFC is an end destination. .....SORRY.

    Where did he say that?

  8. I will give you that Bisonville is the lair of NDSU's Lunatic Fringe much as Sioux Sports is the same for UND. That's not to say there aren't reasonable and objective fans on each message board, but each one is where most of the goofballs like you or wyobisonman hang out. A simple fact remains there are a great number of people that appreciate successes by both UND and NDSU. Historically since let's say roughly 1960 UND Hockey has had National fame at the highest level and NDSU football, to a somewhat lesser extent, has experienced national exposure at the D-2 and more recently at the FCS level with additional success against a limited schedule of FBS competition.

    Neither school obviously has to apologize for those achievements. If you want to call the same person who sits at a UND hockey game against Wisconsin or an NDSU game against Minnesota some form of traitor well go ahead. You are the one that looks foolish not that person.

    And a fan of either school that doesn't like the other does not have to apologize either.

  9. Homer is nothing more than darell posting under another name. That is very obvious. But that's typical with people who have more technological power than they deserve.

    Game must not be going to well.

  10. You apparently don't understand anything correctly! If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle!

    Yep, if only your favorite team would have scored a couple more runs last night.

    So as a huge fan of both, why do you only post here? Why not take part in the game discussion last night?

  11. 1. Why? Because it comes naturally for some people.

    2. No cheer for whatever team you want.

    Great response. If I understand you correctly, my response was dumb because I didn't cheer for your team and you don't agree with me.

  12. NDSU will be charging $40 a game this year for every game anyway. I know that is hard to believe when you can buy a season ticket to UND football for $40. Why make an extra $5 or $10 per ticket for one game and let your bitter rival double their football ticket revenue 2 years later in one game? I don't see any reason to help a school that has coaches that claim they are the only Division 1 school in the state.

    UND is having zero problems filling our schedule. You are helping no one but to act like no one cares about the game is laughable.
