Now not only are they the Chris Farley of college sports they are the Rodney Dangerfield of college sports.

http://newyork.cbslo...oWAEiU.facebook - you have to listent to this. heads are exploding at FU.

Actually I was considering contacting Archie Fool Beer about the FU football player that is tweeting "Sioux Suck" since the name no longer applies to UND it is a racist tweek targeting a specific ethnic group.

Shouldn't matter if a school has a tribes permission - either Native American names are racist or they aren't. That's like saying if you get permission from someone you can call them a racist nickname. All the arguments about doing away with Fighting Sioux still hold true to Semnoles, Utes, Aztec, - it's turning a people into a mascot, it demeans a group of people, if only one person feels discriminated by the name then it needs to be changed - plus there are Seminole tribes in Oklahoma that aren't in favor of continuing the nickname. Undefendable.

About a year ago Sports Illustrates named the tradition of Renegade and the flaming spear riding out to mid-field as the best-ever college football tradition.

Tough to accept the hypocracy associated with the NCAA and Florida State on display during the college football national championship game - the constant war chant and hand chopping, the crowd shots of students with indian headbands on - all things that UND never did in the last 40 years and would have been incredibly criticized for if they had. Shouldn't matter if a tribe gives permission - either using a Native American nickname/icon/mascot is racist or it isn't. Yes, I'm moving on, but no I don't have to accept the hypocracy.

What's the benefit of being on a "Friends" list - or should I reword that to, Are you guys "friends with benefits"?

Tough to stay on topic until we get the Hernia removed.

Hey there will always be a need for quality signature gatherers - especially those that can get the signatures without leaving their apartment.

So he had all these opportunities but he held out for Wyoming? Having your name thrown out in Fargo about being up for a job doesn't mean he was offered or even interviewed it just shows fan paranoia. (You do realize that most of this discussion is just smack - what do you expect when you continue to come to another schools fan site and post bison-swill. ).

Geez how old are you FU fired their football coach less than a decade ago.

You keep throwing out money as an excuse for your coach leaving, but many FU fans were convinced their coach was somehow attached to the team and the community and would never leave - all it took was money and he was gone in a flash and it was ALL about the money - guess the fans, the fame, the city (and all its bright lights), the "tradition" weren't enough based on his priorities.

Now I know why you called yourself "Hernia" your a pain that just won't go away.

I call BS sorry - joined in November - six posts, mostly negative, now all nicey nicey. You must be on break from Moo U and got an Ipad for Christmas. Go back to the video games in your parent's basement.

850 miles for me - that's actually a fairly close road trip compared to our conference games. I'm gonna pencil this one in.

Remember Bohl also chose the glitz and glammer of Laramie over Fargo - the reality is football is all FU has left and UND just hired the coach whose defense beat them the last time they played.

Except that half of the comments on this subject are from FU trolls whether their nickname reveals that or not, and they are here posting during the weeks before their team plays for a national championship and you can easily find twice as many threads and posts that mention UND on Bison-swille as here.

Have you also lost your way from Bison-swille? What buffalo pie have you been hiding under. What nothing to talk about over there this week? Yes, FU trolls we know you have a great team this year, we know we get the fans, why can't you just be happy about that on your own site instead of daily having to come here and pump your chest. It just continues to perpetuate your immaturity, your inferiority complex and your need to constantly feed your ego. Run, be free, leave the basement and be among your own kind that want to hear it.

I think the media would put a pretty big negative spin on it if the Alerus turned them down. "Alerus refuses access to NDSU football team". It was build with tax payer dollars so it's their job to take any revenue paying gig they can get to make money. Now they just have to worry about the locker rooms being trashed or ripped off. I hope they asked for a big retainer to cover vandalism and theft.

Alert Best Buy, if asked don't sign any petitions, post "Flasher" warnings.

Just a reminder still have Once a Sioux always a Sioux shirts availble on siouxpride.com or at Play it Again Sports, Grand Forks and the Cenex Store on South Washington in Grand Forks. We ship anywhere in the US.

Do we have to go through this all again - of course FU wanted the game to continue they had just gone through a decade of losing just about every game to UND, the Flagship School in the state, FU had more scholarships, had scheduling issues and a transition schedule to fill, while UND was playing for playoffs and needed games that counted - FU had everything to gain. Of course now the shoe is on the other foot but at least the scholarship playing field is equal. The reality is there are just as many people who don't care if they play every year and some don't care if they ever play again (with the current FU AD being #1). It's been shared ad nasium by FU fans that there is no benefit to FU in playing the game - probably right. There is also no benefit to UND to play the game in Fargo. UND had one of the best schedules in FCS last year - it would have been nice to win more of the games but the schedule was great and would not have improved with a road game to FU. And no need for revisionist snide remarks from trolls - yes FU has the better team on paper and would probably beat UND handily right now - but the reality is until the game is played on the field it is a mythical victory (and based on other sports results it's one the FU AG is wanting to leave it at that.).

So was it really unrealistic to expect (and I'm being sarcastic here): a pain-free process that includes firing the current coach and staff, having a national search that brings in top candidates from around the country, losing no ground in recruiting, having daily public press conferences sharing all the details of what was happening, usurping the standard state hiring requirements, preventing any current players from transferring and having it all done in 10 days or less. Is that too much to expect?

Did I miss something? Wasn't it just someone saying that they were concerned that there is no one to keep the current players confident and connected and he was mentioned because of his talent? Just a question that has now become a rumor?

Words of a mature mind... as you are finding out that doesn't sit well here.
