  1. In discussing the demise of the NCC, Jeff Kolpack of the Forum believes it to be related to scholarship reductions in 1986 and again in the early 90's. This timeframe appears to directly relate to the rise in fortunes of the Sioux football team. Is there a correlation? I've been curious for some time, but never seen a discussion on the topic.
  2. Another perspective from a Bison fan: Although it does not justify the Sioux sXXk chants, I'd be curious to know how many fans that experienced the chants were dressed head to toe in Sioux apparel? Did it ever occur to you that it might be interpreted as an attempt to divert attention away from NDSU's day in the limelight. The game was a big day for Fargo and NDSU and not about UND. I know that to some it may come as a shock that not everything is; but as hard as it is to believe, not everyone is a Sioux fan! Perhaps going to the game dressed as a casual fan would have been more appropriate. I know, I know; some of the Sioux faithful do not own any clothing that is not Sioux related. And to those who think the verbal abuse is a one way street are mistaken. I've worked in Grand Forks for the better part of 8 years and don't believe that I have ever worn Bison apparel in this town. For those that live and work in Grand Forks, stop and think of how infrequently you see NDSU apparel and it's pretty rare. It's not that there are not Bison fans, I know they are rare, but it's just not worth it. UND's day in the sun will come in a few years when they schedule a big time opponent in football. Just my two cents worth!
