Don't forget it's UND's fault that su is "underfunded" that Whisky joe was "driven out of the state" that members of their football team committed felonies at Best Buy, that the school is losing money on its off-site locations ....

First of all everything bison fans are assuming is pure conjecture on the handling of the banner - but they need something to talk about sime they obviously can't find anything about their own team of interest. It's su that takes every chance to poke fun at UND (because they can't get past comparing themselves to big brother). Do you want a list - I can start one.Had that been a UND banner which had arrived in Fargo, I can assure you that the result would have been No media stories, and quiet re-shipment. Just a different mode of operation and a different level of professionalism that seems to surface again and again.

Wow - talk about "fair weather" fans. (pun intended)The biggest reason the Force outdraw Bison hoops is because alcohol is sold at Force games. Also the current BSA is an eyesore to put it mildly. The temperature variances in that building are crazy. Down towards the floor it is cold (especially early in the game) as the doors are open alot as people are still coming in. Up top (where I sit of course) is like a f**king oven under those lights. The upgrade has been a long time coming but it appears that the funding is very close to being secured and the days of playing in that God forsaken place are numbered.

How can you be a fan of those guys? None of them play for the Sioux.
I would also presume that you must specifically despise Hrkac, Parise, Toews, Oshie, and the hundreds of others that willingly left the Sioux before their eligibility was up. You must brand them as traitors to the Sioux Tradition. Any "real" Sioux fan should.
Surely, just like the University, none of these former players deserve your respect.....................
Like this fire needs gas thrown on it - sometimes its fun to watch.

Championship banner arrives from NCAA and all they have to talk about is UND - once again.
-
So if you are a staff member at the UND Athletic Department and you open a package from the NCAA with an NDSU flag in it - what are you supposed to do other than contact the head of the department?
Do you think anyone other than Faison should be making that call to su? I for one think dealing with UND issues comes first. The NCAA sending a flag to the wrong school is not a high priority UND issue last week.
Gotta love that when the people at the NCAA think of North Dakota they think UND - it is and always will be the Flagship Univeristy of the state.

Hmmm. I guess we know which university the state of North Dakota is known for. I don't think that Flagship status is going anywhere soon.

Okay I'm no expert but I've heard as many rumours, old wive's tales and stories to last a lifetime. The way I've read it and understand it - anything that is of historical significance does not have to change including banners. The Ralph will not be closing, the Ralph will not be jackhammering any logos out of the structure. But for example if a piece of carpet wears out in the Ralph with the Sioux logo on it, it will be replaced with carpet that does not have the logo on it. UND fans can wear Sioux logoed clothes to games for as long as they want. It will probably take at least a decade for the fans to move away from shouting "Home of the Sioux" at home games - if ever. I know I won't be replacing my Sioux Pride tailgating van and I will also be using it on site for years to come. It's a historic archive now!

Whatever - can't say I've seen too many threads started under the heading "Minnesota starters" in hockey. Perhaps it should have been listed as Game Discussion: Montana.

I think you are on the wrong fan site - here we like to talk about our teams.
-
Let's see in the last 10 years the two teams played every time they lined up I am quite positive that most su fans were more than a little confident that they were going to win the game - guess what - that's why they play the game. su's motivation for the game to continue was they had the deck stacked in their favor - more scholarships, recruiting at a higher level, of course they wanted the game to continue it was the only way they could see how to end the 10 years of domination by UND, of course the other way to end it was to leave the conference and the division.I think 2006 UND would have had a great chance at beaing NDSU. I mean if UND can go into the UNI Dome and beat UNI then why not...NDSU hasn't seem to win in that dome.

Thanks for your interest in Fighting Soux sports. I think if he sucks he obviously won't "be handed" the job. Over the years su has had many transfers come in - were they all "handed" the job just because they were a transfer?I am not saying I disagree with the move to bring in Hansen at all, he looks to be the real deal and could really help the team.
But, do you think this might set a dangerous precedent at the QB position? Bringing in a guy who will only be there for 1 year at such an important position, and pretty much handing him the position?
-
What are the icons on each side? Isn't one side a buffalo and the other side some form of Sioux icon - the NCAA would not like that. Plus they would say it perpetuates the Sioux nickname which is exactly why they mandated that UND MUST replace the nickname.
-
"If a slam falls in a UND forest will an su troll hear it?" Again there probabaly won't be a new trophy for awhile and I would say it should not happen until/unless the game is played every year. I am on the side that it should be retired and displayed in Bismarck at the State Museum - however there is the chance students would try to steal it as history has shown.I understand that this was meant as a slam. I see you forgot the Pharmacy kids, and the engineers at NDSU as well. But regardless, that is a dumb idea anyway. Airplanes, stethescopes, cows, tractors, barns, and women have nothing to do with the game.
.....So NDSU will be FBS by 2020?
-
I believe the trophy always was on display until students started "stealing" it. Wonder what the history is about who stole the trophy first and force it to go into hiding? I don't know, just asking? Might be a good newspaper story whether or not the game starts up again.
-
I highly doubt this will ever be created for many reasons - 1. it's not going to be the rivalry it once was, 2. UND will have no nickname for a few years, 3. if you don't play every year what's the point.
That being said, inflation requires that it now be a giant $100 bill - with
A tractor on one side, an airplane on the other (symbolizing aviation)
A barn on one side, a stethescope on the other (symbolizing medical school)
A cow on one side, the Lady of Justice on the other (symbolizing the law school)

This is a moot point if/when the Fighting Sioux nickname is retired - just another politically incorrect trophy that will go the way of the Sitting Bull Trophy we had with USD.
Nice to know that not only does UND own the overall won/lost record in football they own the won/lost record for the last 10 years and they won the last game played for the honor of having the most coveted trophy in the Sioux-Bison rivalry.
-
Nothing better than cheering on your own team - being happy about a win and not making excuses about a loss and not putting down another team, trashing its fans, its nickname, its facilities. If you ever make the trip to Grand Forks for football you will have no problem walking the tailgating area and getting something to eat/drink.
-
Good gravy - really Roger Thomas - talk about beating dead horses - okay what about Whiskey Joe and his crew working behind the scenes to keep UND out of the Summit, going to the SBOE and getting UND moved out of Fargo, starting up programs that are mirror images of existing programs at UND, wasting millions of tax payer dollars just so Whiskey Joe and his cronies could claim to be the largest Universtity in North Dakota....The revisionists forget that at the time UND decided not to play NDSU it was because of NCAA rules that would have harmed UND's playoff chances. Oh and after a decade of losing to the Sioux in football ndsu was eager to continue playing UND now that they more scholarships and were recruiting at a higher level.Trouble is they can't ask for help. After what RT did with NDSU starting it's transition. I know you don't want to hear it but maybe the chickens will come home to roost.
I'll say it again - any ndsu fan who votes no because of intent to harm UND is admitting that deep down they know ndsu cannot complete with UND on a level playing field, otherwise why would they admit they are casting a vote out of spite.

So we can assume that SDSU won't be holding any meetings in "Sioux Falls" SD either.

It continues to make me shake my head the large number of discussions there seems to be among the su crowd about a school they don't care about.

St. Cloud State just signed a 6' 11" transfer from Universitiy of Oregon - he looks like a project but as they say you can't teach heighth.

Lived in Minnesota for 16 years - can't believe the level of arrogance about North Dakota, usually from the "big" city dwellers. You'd think we never have winter in Minnesota the way they talk. The Minnesota school system is in shambles, teachers getting laid offer every year, programs cut. Property taxes just went up, but it makes them feel good to be able to look west and south and make light of other states.

One man's opinion - just gives those with inferiority complexes a chance to pop their jersey. If you agree with this opinion guess you also have to agree with, "The Big Sky has even taken on four schools from the highly regarded, but disbanded Great West Football Conference."
