2001 in Grand Forks got a ticket at the last minute so ended up sitting in the visitor section - ugh. Lough mouth bison fan behind me was snorting during the pre-game and saying stuff like "there's no one on their team that would see the field for SU". He got pretty quiet later on. I've never had the attitude that a fan needs to put down the other team and its student athletes in order to support his own team - to each his own. The bad - I was on campus in the late '70s - there were some tough ones. The good - the early 80s - Biolo, Muckenhern, Henry Jordan (dad played for Green Bay Packers), they turned it around for a few years. Just want to thank Bubba and UND for having the balls to step up and make this game and the return of the rivalry happen even if it is only every 3-4 years. This would not have happened if not for UND stepping up and doing what they knew was the best thing for the state.

Just realized if this game goes the way the odds say Sioux Sports will be overrun with trolls - Admins I hope you have a plan. On the other hand if we play to our potential and get a few breaks and keep it close or perhaps even "shock the North Dakota World" then they'll go back under their rock.

The difference is what I mentioned actually happened. It's unfortunate your life is so empty you have to prowl here and "protect" SUs dignity - it's a UND fan site we trash talk about other schools - no need to defend every post it just demonstrates insecurity.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/3840444-ndsu-ups-campus-security-und-ndsu-football-game Seems like they are concerned about the wrong student body - last I checked it was their homecoming royalty that was vandalizing UND and their football players that was flashing children at the mall. and making the midnight dash out of Best Buy. Doing something to make a statue of a bi-zon look stupid would just be redundant.

Yah I was lazy on the details but my point was no permission is necessay.

http://www.inforum.com/news/3839739-fargos-sundog-interactive-und-can-use-sundog-nickname-if-it-wants Well it appears the Forum will leave no rock unturned in order to stir the waters - you would think a large media conglomerate would have a better understanding of copyright and registration laws. The headline is so misleading - UND would not need an advertising agencies "permission" to use Sundog as a university athletic program logo. This is just low-brow journalism.

Yah but as we all know the asking price is seldom the selling price - just makes for news filler as it seems a story a day is their goal.

I had one too - taking tower readings back in the '80s.

I was at the game and saw the play. The quarterback was trying to make a play he ran out of the pocket over to the sideline. The hit came just as he released. It was not a dirty play he was inbounds. It was football played to the whistle.It got a little exaggerated because it happened in front of the MT bench and their coaches reacted.

I lived in Bismarck when he was mayor he was "the people's mayor" but he really didn't have a clue.

If this stooge isn't banned by the end of the day it's a very poor reflection on the Mods - nothing here but bison-swill.

Come on - this rumor came from Bison-swille...get real. What if I wore a shirt with an eagle feather on it, or just the words Sioux Forever on it? Neither has anything to do with UND - that rumor is just something for the lower IQed over there to feed their inferiority complex. . In that vein, I also heard they have former football players taking names for various petitions - oh wait they don't have to leave their house to do that.

Fair catches may not be exciting but a turnover on the punt receiving team is a game changer.

The biggest mistake in football of any level is using the previous week's game to predict the upcoming week's game. UND was and still is an underdog in this game. The pressure on UND is to play a solid game from start to finish and be in the game, the pressure on SU is to not choke. No matter the result I think it's lost in the hype that it was Bubba that had the guts to step up and get the game(s) scheduled that says a lot about the character of Bubba and those who proved they would say and do anything to prevent it from happening.

Did anyone else not get their Champions Club card yet - I paid my dues last spring now I'm headed to Grand Forks with no card - I have contacted them a couple of times. I don't understand why they just can't develop a system where when you pay your dues you get your card within a week anytime of the year. It kinda turns it into a bad experience.

I just enjoy knowing that their fan base is more nervous than our fan base about the game.

I'm certain the coaching staff will point to Montana's loss at home the week about beating the bison as an example of what can happen after a big win. Every game is going to be a struggle - you can bet Drake is going to air it out plenty on Saturday.

I know Pat and you can bet the guy will be putting in lots of prep time - now he's got a tape to listen to and learn from. I listened to the entire game via Internet and I agree he needs to re-learn the importance of sharing the basics of what's happening up front - "First down", "He's going all the way", "stopped short" for example and also resetting the game more often with time, down and distance, Keeping in mind this is not his primary job I hope that UND will give him time on the job to polish his skills. He's a hard-working guy.

Polls are for fans. Most that vote have no clue who they are voting for or have their intern do it. We can't even get a first team all conference player no way we get noticed enough for top 25 - doesn't matter to the team or the coaches though. Let's take care of business and be the undefeated team in Fargo.

Sure is fun to poke the bi-zun, lighten up trolls we know the realities - we are still the underdog for the game and in our conference. This is our team and our fan site it's okay for us to have some fun and be optimistic - your time is better spent checking the Fargo police blotters - and crying because your team blew their chance to host Game Day in Fargo.

My smart phone went bizerk when I clicked on that link and warned me about a virus. It took me 10 minutes to get away from an app it kept trying to force me to load.

Geez I hope our special teams is sharp - I have a feeling it's going to come down to whoever makes the most mistakes - they are playing a lot of freshman so I like our chances.

Once single game tickets are available just PM me and I will go pick them up and we'll make arrangements to meet up prior to the weekend.

That is almost enough to get me to vote Hawks - but nope i'm going with Rough Riders.
