Agree with all of the above. I will be making the 5 hour trip north next weekend for the game. There is hope for the future but it might take some time.

ummmmm...........tickets weren't available because the arena was sold out. I was only able to get tickets because I have kids in Nodak Nation. I couldn't get them through my Champions Club membership.

My understanding was that UM refused to play teams with Indian nicknames unless it was conference play or in the NCAA tournament. This game fits neither category.

Apparently it is bigger to you than it is to me and many on here. I don't care if we play ever again and because of that I don't ever visit any of the Bison fan sites. Exactly why are you on here if it is not a big deal for you and your fan base? If you go away you won't ever have to worry about what is said on here.

I don't believe this at all. The AC believes we are beneath them and they should never have to come to GF. Why would us agreeing to go to Fargo twice and feeding into that belief encourage them to come to UND? It doesn't make sense to me.

Welcome. Hopefully you can make it up for some tailgating in the fall. People are very welcoming.

To be fair he obviously is a very good football player.

Is that the same Marcus Williams that SU faithful tried to convince us would be drafeted in Rd 2?

How do you know he didn't take it at that time? Schlossman said he didn't have time to research that 2 year time period because he was afraid of getting scooped. BF's message to GT was regarding how to release the info to the press and about game start times. It looks to me like he thought they had a verbal agreement in place.

I don't believe in there was 2 years in between communications. Schlossman said they just didn't have time to track down the communication between those dates because they were worried about being scooped on the story. I would guess that there was plenty of talking in that time but BF won't tell everybody about it because he doesn't want to poison the water regargless of the SU theory that he negotiates through the media. Schlossman also said that it was all open records requests and not coming from BF.

pretty selective regarding what bothers them in fargo. If you win they can overlook criminal activities.

110 games is a fairly large sample size too. UND leads the series 62-45 with three ties. To think we won't be back is foolish.

Somebody still gives a rip.

I have never posted on Bisonville and never will. Why don't you prove how little you care about UND and how you have moved on by moving on and going away for good. Put your money (keyboard) where your mouth is.

if you don't give a rip why are you on this site discussing it? I truly don't give a rip about MLS soccer so I have never been on one of their fan sites or bothered to comment on it. Be honest with yourself.

i don't really care if we play but this^^^^^^^ is driving me nuts.

As my father-in-law used to tell me - the wheel is round. Things change and you are not always at the top or the bottom. The NDSU fans of the 1980's thought they would dominate UND forever but I believe we won 10 of the last 13 we played. Similar situation today where SU fans can't imagine UND ever being on equal footing with them. GT does hold the cards in this situation and he is rubbing it in BF's and UND's face because he can. You can be sure it will bite him or NDSU in the ass someday when things change and he needs a game or a vote for something from UND. NDSU remembers back to 2003 quite well but I am sure we will have long memories too.

never heard anybody from UND use that term. Strictly an NDSU term so move on already and go back to bisonville.

What makes you think GT would have agreed to that and not changed his story? He seems good at that.

Per Sioux Football Insider. @SiouxFootball: We now know why #UND AD Brian Faison didn't take the one-game offer. It was changed yet again. Went from $175K for two games to $125K for 1.

I agree on the acedemic part. Gene still has a chapped butt because we didn't play him during SU's transition. He told a Fargo sportswriter friend of mine in the past that there will be no football game while he is there. That's fine with me but I wish he would own it and stop pretending he is trying to make something work. If he really wanted it to work we would be playing and you wouldn't be H&H with Weber St. UND will not bow down to him and take a one time game in Fargo and he knows it. That is why he make the offer.

USA Today did an analysis of college sports about a year ago. They don't break down where the subsidies come from except to say they are from student fees and school/state support and they report that only 23 out of 228 D1 sports programs are self sufficient. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/05/07/ncaa-finances-subsidies/2142443/ For 2012 the numbers for NDSU $16.8 million in expenses funded in part by $7.2 million in subsidies - 43%. For 2012 UND had $20 million in expenses and $9.2 million in subsidies - 48%.

i will turn that around on you. if you say money is the main factor in the decision - why won't GT take the home and home with UND? Much better financially for him than a home and home with Weber St. And a guaranteed win if you listen to SU fans.

i knew that and meant $190k per game. Doesn't change my point.

The $190k offer with both games in Fargo was just an attempt to get Faison to grovel at GT's feet. GT either gets that from UND or is able to pretend he tried even though he knew he would be told to F off. What an a$$. Oh - and please tell me again how they can't get enough games because teams are afraid of him. The parents of current players are still spouting that bs.
