I also head the Bohl/Moberg story but only Joe knows if that is true. Also heard from a parent of a UND player that FU coaches contacted recruits and said if they played for FU they would guarantee they played for a national championship (and that was during their 20 year playoff hosting drought.).

Been a lot of buzz over the years about the ethics associated with a school contacting a player who has already verbally committed to another school. Seem to remember that at least one UND football recruit got a phone call from another school's coach after they had verbally committed to UND. Now the shoe is on the other foot and it seems they don't like it. I know I've read in Sports Illustrated stories that the big schools have no problem continuing to contact players who have verballed.

I am like most other UND Sioux fans I don't care a lick about FU's team. I'm excited about the staff that Bubba is putting together and sending out on the road recruiting. There are plenty of kids who haven't made a decision yet for us to get. Playoffs are over time to shut down this thread - and it wouldn't hurt to shut down a couple of trolls at the same time. .

They probably pulled the program down by now. It was John Feinstein's national sports minute and he was lauding FU's three-peat then about 15 seconds into the one minute program he talked about how FU was the school that lost its FIghtiing Soux nickname due to the NCAA. It was basically a cluster**** of him confusing UND with FU once again and reinforcing how when the national media think of college sports in North Dakota they think UND. Hilarious.

Yes but the extremists would say "If even one person is offended by it then it needs to go." Someday someone with national attention will have to stand up and say "Hey it's racist to have a white student dressed up as a Native American wearing war paint and riding a horse out on a football field and throwing a flaming spear into the ground". I once read that Seminoles seldom rode horses and never wore war paint. The tribe must be getting LOTS of money to have everyone in lock step on this.

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.
