Heard rumors of them working on another FBS transfer on d-line. Hope it is true. Sounds like it would be a good get.

I have an image in my mind of UND bb jerseys from 50s or 60s with Nodaks on them. Did that happen or was it a dream?

I was told by a Bison beat writer that Chapman and Taylor told him that they would not allow a football game to be played with UND as long as they were in charge. He said he couldn't write about it because he would be banned from NDSU locker rooms forever if he did. Taylor kept moving the goalposts while stalling and making it less attractive for UND with no intention of ever agreeing to a game. The last offer he threw out there was so one sided that he figured UND would't accept and was intended as another slap in the face for UND as he exited. Bubba called his bluff and signed it anyway. Check out the NDSU press conference when they announced the game. They weren't very happy about it.

no chance it can be played for. UND can't use NA imagery on the field. Let's say UND wins it at some point. What side of it do they show when they run around the field after the game? Indian head side? - can't Buffalo side? - no chance in hell and it wouldn't make sense Maybe the edge of the coin

really? That's a thing?

i don't know for sure but I bet they don't fly the confederate battle flag at those bases.

Pretty simple in my mind. You lost the war against the U.S. so get over it. Your flag shouldn't fly on government property.

I'm surprised that North Stars is in the running. Minnesota is the North Star state - seems like a reach for UND to be the North Stars.

I'm with you. You don't have to be an alum to be a stakeholder. I doubt anybody would claim that most of the current football coaches aren't stakeholders. Bubba is a Jamestown grad.

to strike fear was mostly in jest but a name should be something to rally around. Weather events don't rate very high with me.

This will strike fear in opponents.

Sundogs is a horrible nickname. As is any other weather phenomenon as a name. How the heck is that supposed to inspiring and something to rally around?

to be fair MN has 1/3 of the Somali immigrants that live in the US so you would expect 1/3 of the those that choose to join ISIS from the US would be from MN. whether that number is 3 or 300

I don't believe an FBS transfer to Wyoming would be eligible right away unless he had already graduated.

I assume Henry Van Dellen is the son of Henry Van Dellen from EGF originally who is a UND grad.

Vanek's three-year contract carries an annual NHL salary-cap charge of $6.5 million and will pay him $5.5 million in 2014-15, $6.5 million in 2015-16, and $7.5 million in 2016-17, when he will be 33 years old.

I always tried to stay close to the equipment guys. They help hold the place together. I say good for him if he has a decal. I broke my leg one year and missed spring ball. I put a helmet sticker on my cast and got my arse chewed by one of the assistant coaches but he didn't tell me to remove it.

Thank you. I have been trying to tell some of the uneducated about this same thing for a while. The intensity will ratchet up incredibly as the game approaches.

Hmmmm Trophy holder: UND won 28-21 on Oct. 18, 2003, in Grand Forks Current streak: UND has won the last 3 nickel trophy competitions Nickel-winning record: UND leads 35-30 All-time UND vs NDSU record: UND leads 62-45-3 UND has won 9 of the last 11 head to head. But then again you don't care because there is no rivalry.

It doesn't really matter except when some push the notion that 'we don't care about you and have moved on'. It's a passive aggressive way to say you are superior to UND. If you and your friends go away and never post here again we will know you have moved on. Until that happens you are showing your hypocrisy.

You do realize that every time you post here you undermine your stance that the rivalry doesn't exist or that it is dead. How much time do you spend on the SDSU and NIU fan sites? Not sure how you explain my son's roommate who is from Pittsburgh and has no ties to the area and dislikes everything NDSU - but whatever makes you feel better. They really only need to experience one bb game to get it and they have played every year lately. My kids are pretty smart as evidenced by their college choice. I'm sure they could spell both words by that time.

Nope. They experienced it first hand. The arrogance and entitlement of SU fans at past fb games and at vb and bb games since they have been at UND really turned them off. Their friends at UND feel the same way and many of them have no family ties to UND. Just because you say that students today don't care about the college that is 75 miles away doesn't make it true. At a minimum they have hs classmates that attend the other school which makes the rivalry real.

I have two kids currently enrolled at UND and there is plenty of animosity toward NDSU from them. They also hate UM in hockey and we aren't in the same conference there either.

Has anybody seen a link to Luke Johnson's goal? My kids are in Europe and I wanted them to see it.

I don't believe that the charter stayed at the team hotel last year.
