Actually, they call that price gouging. I certainly hope NDSU doesn't doulble the ticket price when the game does resume. Also, Very classy bragging about a player breaking another players leg. You were probably upset he was able to walk again.

Speaking of talking through the media, I don't know how many times I have heard Faison on TV or on the radio saying UND is ready to resume the rivalry immediately, yet he has not picked up the phone and called Gene Taylor. How does he suppose the games are going to get scheduled? Are Wayne Nelson and Jeff Kolpack going to negoiate a contract for the schools? As of last week, Gene Taylor said he hadn't spoken to Mr. Faison yet. Apparently UND isn't all that anxious to schedule the game either.

What about a first year coach like Mussman after the Southern lllinois game? He pretty much blamed the loss on a personal foul call in the first half. Is this going to become a pattern in all Sioux losses?

I didn't think there was a difference between the top of Div 2 and the bottom of the Top 25 in 1AA? I'm not sure about this, but I think that was the 1st conference win for Southern Utah since the Great West was formed.

Do you people really think the NDSU Administration would announce a sellout 3 weeks before the game if there were actually tickets left to sell? You people are the real idiots if you think that. There will always be some people that have tickets that can't make it, and the only place there were many empty blue seats were up in the SIU section. And yes, NDSU should have won that game by 17-24 points if we had a kicker. NDSU had to punt once the entire game. They were stopping themselves. I say they lose @ UNI and beat both Missouri State and Illinois State on the road in the MVFC. They will beat WIU at home next week by 24.

Perhaps Mississippi State wasn't trying too hard to rack up the yardage when they were ahead 34 to 3 in the 3rd quater. Meanwhile, the Sioux were playing catch up and got a lot of their yardage in the end of the 3rd and the 4th quarter. Freund is probably the best QB in ND, but I hear the SDSU guy is pretty good. I haven't seen enough of either to make that statement, but apparently UND92/96 has.

Someone needs to tell ESPN the proper name of the school. I was watching one of the ESPN's saturday night and they had the UND score as St. Cloud 17 Grand Forks 31. Did anyone else see that? I meant to watch to see if they corrected it the next time it scrolled through, but I didn't see the score again.

Because they are 2 FBS games they should win.

He can't. But I'll bet you could find some comments from Sioux fans excited about a 2 year contract to play 1-11 Idaho. If I remember properly, Central Michigan played Purdue in a bowl last year and were ahead or tied with a couple of minutes left in the game.

If they are, I would be surprised if they were not at least a 2 for 1 deal. I don't think any of those would be a home and home,

Lets not declare Mr. Sorenson the fastest athlete in FCS football yet. In the 3 events he swept at the state meet, he would have finished 2nd, 5th and 6th in ND Class A.

UND should have learned from NDSU and held back a couple of scholarships. If all 7 stay for 5 years, that leaves 6 scholarships available over the next 4 years. I think NDSU would have liked to have more than 3 available over the last 2 years.

They averaged over 18,000 last year in a building that seats 18,900. I don't think that equates to a huge increase in gate receipts. The last time I checked, NDSU doesn't double the price for certain games like a school to the north does. There is NOT an outcry from Bison fans to renew the rivalry.

You may get the better home game, but you can forget about the FBS game for the first three years. FBS schools are looking for 6 wins against bowl counters. UND is not a bowl counter until at least the third season of the transition.

That would delay the renewal of the Bison-Sioux rivalry a minumum of 10 years. How would you give serious consideration to an anti D1 move candidate. I can't see him being a finalist.

NDSU had at least one decommit. Brian Lawson, a DL from Chicago signed with Northern Illinois. Also, Xerxes Griffan A JUCO from California apparently had a change of heart. Also, Bohl said he didn't get everyone they wanted. He said if you do, you're not recruiting the right type of kids.

So if he is found or pleads guilty, what should his suspension be? I would say for a second arrest in less than a year, 1 game was awfully light. Sometimes when you have the privilege of playing a sport for a school or organization, guilt doesn't have to be proven before action is taken. Just ask Michael Vick.

No, I'm sticking with the retractable roof stadium. I'm guessing he didn't know about one thing in your post. Maybe that's why UND coaches decided to "move up" the construction date of that stadium on the recruiting trail. They were using the "Rick" script of recruiting pitches and it wasn't working. That list of "famous" alums must knock their socks off. I'm thinking you would have had to live in North Dakota at least 40 years to know who half of those people are.

Kind of tough to base the feasability of a stadium on playing a team that is not on the schedule. I'm not sure you are going to get NDSU in that new stadium. However, even if they do it will be once every 2 years, not once a year. Knowing UND's marketing strategy, they wouldn't fill it for an NDSU game either. If they follow the pricing strategy from the last UND-NDSU game, by that time they will be asking $200 a ticket.

It would have said "offers" from Wisconsin, NDSU and UMD if they were actually offers. NDSU already has a commitment from the 2nd best receiver in Minnesota. I'm guessing they are going to be pretty selective if they bring in another receiver.

I'was just wondering why a possible new stadium 15 to 20 years down the road would come up in a recruiting visit? Obviously the UND coaches are mentioning it to their recruits. A kid from Wisconsin wouldn't have heard about it anywhere else. He's not going to read about it in the local paper.

That's an interesting quote from the recruit. Apparently UND coaches are telling recruits the outdoor stadium with a retractible roof is a done deal. Do you suppose they are also telling them that the Big 12 and Big 10 are fighting over them and they will be joining one of those conferences?

If this thread is to guage the interest level of NDSU vs. UND Football, Perhaps this is a better indicator. Average attendance for the 2007 Football season: 2007 Sioux - Approx 9,000 2007 Bison - Approx 18,000

So Sioux fans, did UND offer Horner from South? How about Bourne-McFarland, a receiver from Bloomington or Reid the linebacker from Milwaukee? Or is it if NDSU got him UND didn't want him? I hear that more from UND fans than NDSU fans.

According to the sports telecasts the day he verbaled, Vetters dad said he had offers from both UND and NDSU but felt Fargo and NDSU was a better fit.
