It is so sad that you just don't get it. No one here cares. Your continual presence here and the presence of other bison boneheads just perpetuates your insecurity and never ending need to compare ndsu to UND. Sad, really sad.

Highly doubt they are going to not redshirt him next year - there are academic reasons for redshirting as well. I'm not ready to give up on any of the quarterbacks we have on the team and throw an 18 year old kid into the Big Sky conference - highly doubt the coaching staff is either. But we need something to talk about in the chat rooms.

I knew Gene when I was a student involved with football at UND, he had a wit about him and always a smile on his face - totally the cat that ate the canary smile. I was in the locker room the game he held a bison bobblehead and used it as a prop during his pre-game speech - let's say the bobblehead was worse for the wear after that speech. He and Pat Berns made a great set of assistant coaches.

I think I just threw up in my mouth after reading this.

We roadtripped up to Greeley about 8 years ago and tailgated along with the parents of the players. Don't know if it's changed but the parking lot had space for it and the scenery around the stadium was gorgous.

Actually Luther College in Iowa is known as the Norse based on the Norwegian heritage of the college.

Had the pleasure of hearing Sioux Sport's own Dave Berger and the Downtown Horns Band at the homecoming gathering Friday night. Wow - a realllly great cover band. I nominate them as the official dance band of UND - I suppose the UND marching band has to be the official band. Dave you are very talented and we are sure glad you take the time to do all you do for keeping Sioux fans connected. I think you should keep a thread active that lists where the Downtown Horns will be playing.

That's what rumors are - rumors. No way to know the truth - UND had to put those dollars in there otherwise questions would have been asked I suppose. I should say that it wouldn't bother me if this was the truth - this is another no win situation because you will never please everyone.

Rumor has it that it's decided and It's gonna be the Roughriders, those who live outside Grand Forks won't know and won't care that a local high school has the same nicknames. That isn't uncommon around the country.

According to The Ralph, it was a single comment communicated over a year and a half ago.

Any truth to the urban legend that one of the reasons Shakey's went under was the weekly visit to the buffet lunch from the UND Football Team Hogs?

There are many issues that go into a higher education choice - the major they intend to go into, their comfort with the size of the school and the size of the community, do they have friends attending, are their parents and family able to attend their games and of course the amount of financial assistance offered. It's amusing but sad to read the constant negative wishful thinking of the bison trolls.

There was a buzz in the crowd when he said it, but since we are no longer rivals it's pretty easy to move on. I've also had my UND logo wear confused for Notre Dame but I forgive people quickly and move on. Perhaps that was what happened with the polls a few weeks ago - coaches thought they were voting for Notre Dame

Does anyone really think the school administration needs a thread to alert them they have a coaching problem - if and when there is a coaching problem?

Wow does that video clip ever speak volumes - one side focused on the negative and obsessed, the other side focused on the positive and confident in themselves. Some things never change.

If we don't play each other anytime soon - the question has to be asked (again and again) - what is your purpose on this board/thread?

SCSU's opposition to the Sioux nickname left with President Santiago whose legacy at SCSU has now become that he left the school in very tough financial condition, thus their need to cut programs, such as aviation, and put the football team on the chopping block. SCSU is a nice road trip, their fans are fanatic, their booster club is welcoming to Sioux fans, there is even an unofficial traveling trophy I believe sponsored by Siouxsports? For a rivalry to survive there does need to be some tension and give and take. Let's now be too "holier than thou" on this - college hockey needs programs like SCSU to remain a viable part of college sports.

We need a good atmosphere for him to experience this weekend - although I'm sure this isn't his first trip to a UND game. I too will hold back my real comments until it's a done deal (because as "they" will tell you "they" never lose a recruit to "us"

I would like to see dominating offensive and defensive lines, some long down the field completitions, a couple of interceptions and super solid special teams - this of course lends itself to a lopsided score. There fixed it.

I'm talking about the ones that come with an agenda - it usually consists of: No knowledge of UND sports history Myopic knowledge of "how great" ndsu is and always has been Chest puffing of how great ndsu is Need to puff up ndsu and constantly try and compare the two institutions with ndsu coming out on top Need to diss UND Not really here to discuss sports, more here to make their lame comparisions of how great ndsu is I think there can be plenty of enjoyable discussions and disagreements among Sioux fans and an occasional opponent poster dropping in, but what we have is ndsu vultures starting threads, dropping ndsu into every discussion, dissing hockey and it gets a little tiresome.

I have several UND friends who are saying they are going to stop reading Siouxsports because it has been taken over by ndsu geeks who have nothing better to do than continue to compare themselves to a school that they no longer claim they want to be associated with. How can we take back this site? I think the Moderators have to do something - JohnBoy and others please moooove on, you are not welcome here, we don't care what you think, we certainly don't care to hear anything about the bi-sons. Your presence here continues to prove the only way ndsu fans measure themselves is by comparing themselves to UND. We have moved on to a different conference, we have a top level division 1 sport that you don't care about. Am I alone in my thoughts here or are there others that agree we need to take back this site and keep it focused on UND?

Upside to St. Cloud State: Nice road trip distance Rowdy atmosphere - it's the only sport students care about A small but friendly booster club - SCSU and UND have had some enjoyable pre-game socials Their history of being anti Sioux nickname left when President Santiago retired Downside to St. Cloud State: They will always be a second tier school They will always be fighting for money to keep nice facilitites (and lose to UofM) They are not a destination school for students, they are a "settle for" school I would not doubt that dropping football is on their double secret agenda like Omaha. They have already dropped homecoming a football event, they were ready to drop football last year until student funding came through.

Yes but you don't hear Sioux fans shouting Anti-Bison chants at Sioux-Gopher Hockey games and you don't have any Sioux fans going onto Bisonswill pounding their chests and ruining every thread discussion. Nope not rooting for the Bison or the Gophers - I am Switzerland on this one.

Last I checked this is not a Smack Site - but I know where you can find one - please go there.

I am assuming it goes without saying that the title of this thread does not speak for all participants in this site, nor does it in all probablity speak for a majority of Sioux football fans. As with most threads it is best taken as an opportunity to discuss topics.
