I say let su have two weeks of no football when Carolina backs out - UND has a great schedule, our goal should be to make the playoffs and win the Big Sky. Also I highly doubt the su admnistration is serious about scheduling a game with UND they just need the satisfaction of public outcry and perception that UND needs the game more than they do. There are plenty of states that have more than one University that don't play each other on a regular basis. su has set its standard (it never really changed) "Win at all cost". UND has set its standard - to be the Flagship University of the state. Nope - our schedule is set let the media have their fun, let su bring in a dog and sell it out, but we don't need this game.

Guess you don't know which team I'm rooting for then do you. But I'm willing to bet the Bearkats don't have ten members of their team who have been arrested in the past 6 months.

Shaping up to be a great Saturday for sports: 12:00 Watch FCS Championship - Root for the team with the fewest criminals on the field 2:00 Watch UND Women's Basketball Game - Root for the best women's division I BB team in ND 7:00 Watch UND Men's Hockey - Root for the team with the most Division I championships in ND 8:00 Watch Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers football - Root for the team not wearing green and yellow.

I agree Manage/Ignore let's me stop reading them but it doesn't stop them from derailing every thread.

Injuries are a part of the game - go back and look at some of your cohorts posts on this site during their daily UND smacking. If this information was posted regarding a UND player during the season I think some of them would say you are starting to post excuses before the game - just in case.

Then with all due respect I think the time has come to start blocking certain posters, they bring nothing of value to a site designed to allow fans of UND to offer thoughts, conjecture and discussion. We don't need bison fact checkers, trolls and flamers - it has become tiresome I know of a couple of UND fans that can no longer tolerate coming here because every discussion gets derailed. If you think I am in the minority why not set up a poll on the subject.

We should start a Bisonswille Fantasy League: Have a draft using all bison athletes: 1 point: everytime a bison athlete on your team has a run in with the law (hint - draft football and softball players) 3 points: everytime you get a troll to refute/disclaim/point out the "facts" about something you posted on Siouxsports 5 points: everytime you get someone on bisonswille to quote you on bisonvwille 10 points: everytime you get someone to quote you on bisonswille under their preposterous thread

So glad we have so many bison trolls on site to be fact checkers on a UND site for posting opinions and discussion about UND and community topics. That's the curse of being the Flagship University of a state and having fans from another school living in perpetual envy and with inferiority complexes. Their ongoing presence here just continues to support this.

I don't think the reason they bring football recruits to hockey games is to "bait and swtich" - geez let's look for the positives. At this level football is not an Alabama football factory it's about the entire student experience. It's showing prospective recruits how fun it can be to be a student at UND - I'm sure they also have them meet with professors in their major - is it "bait and switch" if some of the classes aren't taught by that professor? At UND it's not just about football - recruits come to UND for the entire student-athlete package. They want a quality education so they don't end up working as a petition gatherer when their playing time is done.

I think there are a fair number of "vintage" alumni reading and posting on this site. I am willing to count myself among them them. I will never write a post demanding a coach be fired for several reasons: - There are professionals on staff at UND with much more experience and insight than I have whose job it it is manage the coaching staffs - Players play, coaches coach - It's a GAME, the player are STUDENT ATHLETES, it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable, it's not life and death, they are at UND to get an education and become productive citizens, the sport they are playing is a small part of that. - When winning becomes the most important result of an athletic department ethics and integrity take a back seat (I don't think I need to name an example). - College sports is a cycle, with few exceptions teams can't always be at the top, maintaining a program that has pride and tradition isn't a cycle. - Posting insults and slander on a public forum about the coaching staff of my Alma Mater/ a school I care about just doesn't seem to make sense. You can post what you want, it's your right, just can't figure out what you are trying to accomplish when supporters go in this direction?

It is so sad that there is just no way you bison trolls can make a point without having to add a comment to puff up your inferiority complex is there? It must be tough to not be able to enjoy what you have without feeling the need to spend time on other fan forums spewing out idiocracys that only perpetuate the fact that no matter how successful su is there are certain fans that will always have the need to compare them to the Flagship University of North Dakota and attempt to put down UND. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Find a charity and volunteer, write a book (or perhaps read one) but as has been written so many times - mooove on.

Hey - prowling here to straighten out our thoughts, comment on every issue, be "folksy" with us and bring or defend su in every conversation is their job. I'm thinking our little Johnny runs to the computer the minute he gets home to see what wrongs need to be righted.

Brian Kelly - Grand Valley to Central Michigan to Cincinnati to Notre Dame.

At the rate teams are bailing on their conference it just keeps getting easier for a team from that conference to make the tournament - and many of their fans welcome that.

Just got my Final Fives - hope the weather is like last year - WOW. Also hope I don't get obnoxious gopher fans sitting in front of me, although last year it was sweet after having to listen to them in the first half of the Sioux-Gopher game. Anyone need a Sioux Forever/Once a Sioux always a Sioux shirt for the weekend PM me.

Sorry but anyone who posts a statement like "Beside hockey is there anything to be excited about at UND" is myopic, immature and under informed (and probably has ulterior motives for posting here.)

the troll-son fans like to say the game doesn't mean anything but they're the ones on the ledge after a loss calling for the coaches job.

If you measure everything by sports in the here and now and focus on the negative - I guess not.

Hey you're marshing their mellow - let them live in their fantasy world it's all they got - except Tier II football. Once a Flagship, always a Flagship.

Go Big Sky, Go Montana.

The attitude is "You're either with us or you're on the trash heap". Nothing new here - the sentiment trickles down to their fan base also.

Once a Flagship, always a Flagship.

Isn't it fun to win these "meaningless" games? As the UND coaches say you haven't beat the bison until you do it on their home court - that hasn't been that difficult. Comparative scores say FU should have won - guess that's why they play the game and why there won't be a UND-FU football game anytime soon. They can't take that chance. Of course... It meant more to UND It was UND's superbowl UND had more to play for then FU It's a meaningless game But football

Hey it's the trolls job to monitor our postings and correct them. SDSU may have won the last meeting but we had that great last second win in Brookings (I believe the year before) that even shut their band up
