  1. What's the big deal. The first 2 games should be in Fargo. UND hosted the last game so the next game to fulfill UND's obligation to to return that game that they backed out of would be the 2015 game. The next game in 2017 would be the start of a new rotation of games, which NDSU should get to host also. Why wouldn't UND take a guarantee of $190,000 for a game in 2015? They have traveled to Idaho, Fresno, etc. on a charter plane and stayed in hotels for the same amount. Seems kind of hypocritical of Mr Faison to me.

    Did UND actually back out of a contract in 2003 or just announce that after FU left the NCC they were not going to continue the series? I think what actually happened and the story you tell yourself are a little off.

  2. Exactly right, not only a F**K you but holding a press conference to boot. The game does little for NDSU and a lot for UND. UND needs something to jump start their program. That's not an opinion but a fact.

    UND needs to win games to drive attendance. Without winning, the ass kicking UND gave FU in MBB didn't mean much and attendance was about where you'd expect for a .500 team. Same with the 3 wins in baseball and soccer.

    The winning season that UND had in WBB and VB drove attendance and interest more than beating FU did. Getting back to the winning ways is more important. I'm actually more concerned about that than getting FU on the schedule. I also feel GT has been put through enough today and should be cut some slack until tomorrow.

  3. When your school looks like crap in the news you change the subject and of course try to make NDSU look bad. Yep you nailed it alright :lol:

    Another attempt to change the subject. If you want to discuss the nonUND tshirts worn at a non UND event by mostly non UND students, please feel free to post in that thread.

  4. Those schools haven't ever went out of their way to actively harm NDSU that I know of. Feel free to email Gene. Always good about responding.

    I'd also say once the game starts....it would be an obligation to keep it going...is that the case with Montana or Weber? Unlikely. Those are home-homes. UND would be a home-home into perpetuity.

    Was it written in the contract that it would become an annual game?

  5. You mean Shepherd who signed a contract with the Redskins?

    I agree with Dan on this. Martin was in camp with the Rams. Gatlin was probably the most physically gifted corner but couldn't grasp schemes. They could line him up and he'd cover man for man however. Chad Wilson was more valuable than being a solid starter.

    All in all I have no problem going the JUCO route if needed. I think where the current staff will be better than the prior is they have a philosophy in mind and I do not see them drifting from that. Under Muss, we changed offenses every year and our defense seemed to get more simple every year and lacked discipline. I see the new staff bringing in guys who are a good fit for what they want to do.

  6. Fixed it for you. If UND wanted to play the game.... They could have not shut the game down in the first place.

    If your significant other moves to a different town for a way better job.... And you break up with him/her.... Can you be mad if when you move to the same town he/she doesn't want to be with you anymore?

    Nope. At this point in time... NDSU makes the rules. Deal with it.

    You left out the part about hooking up with your ex six times throughout the year, doing your thing and leaving before she wakes up. I could see how the female in this situation would be fun scared to commit.

  7. Fargo is growing proportionally with the state (about 2.4% annually vs 2.5% for the state) and it's growth isn't based on a commodity that will eventually run out and facing a rapidly rising competitor. Agree with your main point though. Dickinson might fall a little short.

    With no diversion Fargo will run out of room. I wouldn't buy any further south than they are currently building. I'm by Osgood and that's pushing the limits.

  8. The average joe in the US does not understand the aca and obviously you don't work in health care. Ask anyone that works in health care how the aca is and will affect them moving forward. Ask patients that require numerous health care services how the aca is affecting them. And moving forward the aca will have negative effects on these patients more and more.

    Many rural health care facilities cannot afford to employ physicians and have been working with nurse practitioners and physicians assistants. Now the aca wants to take rx rights away from these providers and require physicians orders. This is not good for health care in North Dakota and many other rural areas.

    With that said didn't most of noridian's loss come from their electronic deal/fail in Maryland? Imagine how bad their losses would be if they didn't have the revenue their cms funded audit team brings in.

    Ofcourse the average joe doesnt know what's in it. The people who put in place had to pass it to find out what's in it.

  9. You have to give the coaching staff credit. They have brought in more DBs in one year than our prior staff did in 3. Bubba and company has really evaluated our current team and conference and understads where we need to improve. I get more excited about next season everyday.

  10. I don't think there's a need to feel superior - it's more of all the BS we went through when we went DI. UND administrators, Herald Sports writers, fans (posters) all very publicly ridiculed the move and all said what a failure it would be. The failure has mostly been on your side as your transition wasn't the best, no big wins, FB and MBB very average or poor. Most of all the games with UND next year will be home games for us. In looking at your teams next year maybe VB will standout but I'd look for a very tough year. Oh there's always hockey.

    Just wanted to make sure that bold part doesn't go anywhere in the coming year.

  11. Well here's one thing for certain no Fargo sports writer would have written an article about NDSU on beating UND if the outcomes was different.

    Dom Izzo did mention it on the news right after the baseball highlights the other night. His exact quote was that NDSU has not beaten UND in any head to head matchups this year. So you can't say for certain that it wouldn't have been brought up.

  12. Why don't you worry about all the FB players jumping ship over in Bubba Land? I thought they were solid commits? Did you see the 6-9 kid Richman signed the other day?

    Your new staff didn't even give him a chance to step on campus before removing his scholarship.

  13. I wasn't happy with the. recruiting early on because of the lack of commits, however I had been posting since Bubba took over that I thought were capable of 6-6. That was until 9 more players left the program for what ever reason. Like I said, I'm just not sold on transfers, some work, some don't.

    Which of the players left do you feel was going to see the field this year? It will affect our depth with a guy like Rich leaving. He seemed like an effort guy on special teams last year and I was hoping he'd log minutes. I really don't see any starters on that list and who knows why they left.

  14. He looked promising early but he didn't progress as hoped. Better chance for him to play at Concordia St Paul, especially early.

    Paul Miller looks to be the big steal.

    So your staff offered him a full ride. Led him on for a year that he was a welcome addition and then dumped him when they felt he wasn't a good fit.

    Classy program

  15. Disappointing to lose a few more but not surprising. Best of luck to those who decide to continue playing elsewhere.

    The coaching staff has been pretty open that they are still recruiting so we'll see if a couple transfers are on campus next year.

  16. As I said, I wouldn't be surprised we would get them in baseball too. And of course we did. We just seem to beat them in everything. Even though their football team is better than ours, I am convinced we would beat them in football if they were wiling to play us. I guess we will probably never know. We did at least beat them in football the last time we played. My memories of UND/Bison football games are great . I didn't move here till the early 90's, but all I remember is UND dominating NDSU. I don't blame NDSU for not wanting to schedule UND. They are afraid of what might happen. I have this feeling NDSU is probably not going to want to schedule UND in any sport anymore. They will find an excuse why they can't make the games work into their schedule. . The continual losses have got to be tough to swallow.

    I don't think we would have beat them

    In football the last three years. They were natl champs for a reason. They were/are darn good.
