Gotta say SDSU coach comes across as a very likeable guy. I would like to disappoint him on Saturday and see a Sioux win, but enjoyed the press conference and his demeanor.

Yes I realize that but they were still a "people" and if the NCAA's stance is that native american icons are not to be used as logos then it should not matter if they no longer exist. (Don't worry SDSU fans this isn't going anywhere just idle chat room stuff.)

Have you ever had to deal with the name "Aztecs" being considered hostile and abusive to native americans?

Sorry but if the football players would have given effort to getting actual signatures instead of sitting home copying them out of the phone book they might have actually been able to turn in legitimate petitions and helped get the needed number of names. The company thought they had 12 employees out getting signatures.

Let's talk obsession - Bison football players say "Sioux Suck" at National Championship Celebration, Bison Fans cheer Sioux Suck at the same celebration, Bis Fans cheer Sioux Suck at games that don't involve UND, Bisonswille had to create a Smack Site to contain all the threads regarding UND - one even critiqued a UND video that was on Youtube, they haunt Sioux Sports looking for quotes to bring over to Bisonswille and ridicule. We have perpetual SU trolls on this site that no matter how many times we suggest they leave - never do. I could go on....

I know someone should start a petition drive to have the State Board of Higher Education look all the criminal activity associated with the NDSU football team. They could hire members of the NDSU football team to get the signatures (since it's obvious they don't read the petitions they are working with.) I hear they are very good at getting signatures.

Yah - hope someone from the production team reads here - wait until after the extra point is done to show the touchdown replay!!!

Loved the number of students in attendance. Just gotta say the biggest cheer from many of them was for the free pizza give away. The band did what it could to create some noice but we really need the students to get crazy and start the cheers. Pleases don't make a bunch of 40-50 year old men come down there and show you how - it would not be pretty . I know many who will cheer with you but we can't start the cheers we need to the students to do that (Plus they can get away with a lot more than we can). It almost seemed like they didn't know what to cheer? Of course we can cheer, "Defense" a lot, but we can also cheer "We are North Dakota" and of course any Sioux cheer still works - sometimes it's just a matter of making noise. The games are going to be close - noise can mean missed assignments, wide receivers and back running into each other, off-side and illegal procedure penalties. One or two plays can make the difference.

Wow they were right their move and everything related to it has really gotten them lots of publicity and built their reputation. I just hope that others stop confusing the two schools.

Oh and I believe tailgating always starts 5 hours before kick off.

We were told at the first game that every home game will have food vendors selling food -- the idea is to make it easy for everyone to come early and tailgate. However this week is Potato Bowl so if it's like the past few years the Red River Valley Potato Growers will be there handing out baked potatoes, chips etc with lots of stuff to put on them.

The worst part is the national media and coaches can't stop confusing them with us.

Sorry but got this from a friend and just have to share it: NDSU Football Team Work Study Opportunities Electronic Store Merchandising Assistant: ideal for the student interested in learning more about “Free” enterprise. This position may require late night work and the ability to lift large appliances into shopping carts and move them at a fast pace. Athletic Wear Model: If you enjoy being in the pubic, err public eye this might be the job for you. This position requires you to test wear athletic apparel in order to identify possible wardrobe malfunctions. Must be willing to work around children. Petition Signature Gatherers: make money working from home! This position requires the ability to read and copy names from a phone book. Transportation might be necessary for driving to area cemeteries to gather additional names. A creative mind and strong imagination are a plus.

1. You are assuming they can read. 2. You are assuming they have integrity. (Integrity - the way you act when you think no one is watching).

Free transportation, free food, free parking, free entertainment, ticket $5 IF you are 1,901 in line.

Garbage in = Garbage out

It might have already been shared but at the home opener the crowd caused one, if not two, false starts in the first half.

Tailgating free food report I can't believe I ate: Shredded pork and a beer in Champions Club tent Couple slices of T Rex from Rhombus Guys Hot Dog from Grand Forks CVB Barbeque pork from Ground Round Jalapeno poppers from the Oslo/Alvarado tailgaters A beer Chips and bean dip Slider Another beer Sioux shots with some tailgaters There were questions about free food - info I got was there will always been free food in Tailgate village. They want to attract people early for the game who don't have tailgating spots. Next week is Potato Bowl - lots of baked potatoes, pork burgers etc free at the RRV Potato Growers Tent. Come early, eat often.

There is almost always free food on site, Potato Bowl is the best. When you join the Champions Club for $110 they feed you inside the booster tent.

I think tailgating opens 5 hours before the start of game time and closes 1 hour after the game.

Yes I can see your point and I was single when doubleheaders were in style. Having the consistency of Thursday/Saturday games should help (and playing for a real conference championship - trip to the Big Dance won't hurt either.)

Obviously the first impact on attendance was the transtition but do you think that no longer having men/women double headers is another reason? Those were a great night of sports entertainment now it just seems like half of an event. The good old days....

Tough for out-of-town fans to make the drive also - but I will be there.

New Fantasy League Idea - you receive one point for every post you make that shows up on BSville. Also one point for each response the comment gets over there. Getting points is going to be as easy as shooting bison with a bazooka. Keep your own score in your signature by just adding your number to it. (I'm betting I earn points for this one.) P.S. Just read this don't post to it so it disappears faster and the league can begin.
