WYOBISONMAN

I have heard "Fire and Ice" talked about, but never seen it.....

The point is a move up is very possible. Why not participate in a legit discussion instead of initiating smack......

SDSU has got to step up to the plate and add scholies to be competative at DI-AA. This weekend's game shows that for sure.

I am just back from Greeley and read a bit about the Mesa State game. Sounds like Mesa State will not be a threat to do much in the D2 playoffs. I think there is no question that UND should be the #1 ranked team in D2. As to the comments about a QB controversy at NDSU....there is no controversy....Walker must be the starter, Stauss is not getting it done. I say you go for the future of the team and go with the Freshman. It was unbelievable how a Freshman like him could come in and turn that game so fast. As to the kicker, on that missed FG in the end, the holder bobbled the ball and didn't get it set very well. I guess that didn't show up on TV very well. It was an exciting game....

This is an interesting thread. And....and much as a few Sioux fans and a few Bison fans would like to think.....people from both sides will continue to watch the other team with a lot of interest. Thinking otherwise is just flat-ass denial. On the Death Valley debate....I think we need a Clemson-LSU game....I would love that one. Now....I am done posting for the weekend....I am uptight about the NDSU/UNC game....and it is sunny and 75 outside right now. Therefore I am electing to leave work and head to the golf course for 9 holes and some cocktails to calm my nerves before I drive over to Greeley this afternoon. Here is hoping that 2 teams from North Dakota show 2 teams from Colorado who is boss!

s&!t guys.....sorry to hold the thread up.....another nice day in Wyoming so I just had to skip work and go golfing again.... As to admiting my "mistake" about "Death Valley"? Let me repeat myself clearly so there is NO confusion here.....DEATH VALLEY IS IN CLEMSON, SC......been there many times. Not sure about the little dive LSU plays in....maybe death somethin'.....but not THE DEATH VALLEY (where Howard's Rock is).....

A couple of points....first...Death Valley is at Clemson, not LSU. Second, this seems to be a very UND centered topic that had FINALLY gotten of the smack track and is a legit discussion. And....the UND board is a reasonable place for it.

It seemed that NDSU was always willing to work with UND, Just that RT and company were dead set against it....I would have liked to see the whole NCC move up.

....i think that the bottom line concensus for most fans of either the Bison or Sioux is that UND will be moving up at some time (Getting back to the original thread). I would have to say that the Sioux missed the boat by not making the Jump with NDSU. I think the Big Sky would have taken an NDSU/UND pair in a heart beat. Built in rivalry, solid D2 programs, 75 miles apart....pretty appealing. Not that the SDSU/ NDSU pair isn't appealing too, but I think the NDSU/UND paring would have offered more....

I would suspect that this one will be a blowout..

Why not knock this smacky s&!t off and have a legit discussion about recruiting....what the hell is the point of a statement like... Let's discuss recruiting with out the bull$%!#!

Having lived in South Carolina for several years I would have to say there is a huge disparity among schools in the South. Some are sub par, and some are among the finest in the country. This is true in elementary, middle and high schools and well as in higher ed. I saw public schools in Greenville, SC that would surpass any in North Dakota and I saw public schools that were a disaster. Much of it based on the economics of the neighborhoods.

OK....so some of us may not have gotten into Valpo.... And most of us would not want to go to Delta State.... I do have to say that I think Delta State could probably put the whoop on Valpo as could UND.....I mean good grief.....the poor kids didn't get across mid field!! Next week against UNC will be a real fight it out game....and I am looking forward to it.

Montana has internet feeds for FREE for all the Griz games. The quality is a long ways from "TV quality", but it is probably having some high expectaions to think you can get TV quality off the internet. With all the money Englestad gave to UND I would think the ability would be there for free internet video feeds. I hope NDSU gets them soon too.

Athletics and academics have a "slight association", but are not directly related. I have to agree with that one...

No arguments on my part either......Since Jim doesn't want a smack forum on this board, and the Fargo Forum topic was shut down, he ought to ride a little tighter herd on crap like this....IMHO the Forum thread had more legitimacy than this ever did...

I would just as soon hear about the Delta State game....rather that a damn T-Shirt. It's a stupid topic.....especially under the UND football heading. Geez....UND was my early pick to win the NCC and D2....I need to find out if I am right... Do I think UND was short sited not to move up?.....obviously.... Do I think RT is a fool as an AD?......obviously..... I think we ought to discuss that without this goofy BS about some one wearing a T-Shirt....Good grief, I am sure we could go find a UND fan wearing something similar on a given day.....but who really gives a s&!t...

Jim....are you there......why is this forum not locked??

Sioux Fans started this....so what is one person wore a T-shirt you didn't like. The reason I was looking at the threads was to hear about the Delta State game... This stuff would probably be confined to a smack session if there were such an area......hint Jim....

The reason Jim ought to lock this thread is that the topic is really no different than the Forum thread he locked down.....Just more Sioux fans whining about NDSU. This thread just kind of has y'all dripping with envy and frothing at the mouth. If he locks it it trys to maintain a more civil tone on the board and save some of you from looking pretty foolish.....but if you want to continue.....by all means do.....it is pretty entertaining for Bison Fans to watch all this wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Grand Cities.....

Jim.....maybe this one merits locking too...

......For starters, the NDSU/UNC game next week is on Fox Sports Network. It will be available on the regional Fox Sports net stations in the following states.... Idaho Montana Wyoming Utah Colorado Nebraska North Dakota South Dakota Minnesota Wisconsin Kansas Iowa (part) Nationally the game will be on Fox Sports Digital Central to the rest of the country. Pretty impressive for a non-playoff game. I suspect there will be much more publicity to come!

Seems to me it was a UND fan that started the whining on this thread.... Let's here another of your brainy theories on how Denver gets into the Big Sky.... When will the Sioux fans be brave enough to admit that Roger Thomas and company really REALLY screwed up....that is the bottom line. Sorry, but a minor sport like hockey doesn't cut it....

I can't blame you Sioux fans for being in a foul mood......this has to hurt.....

You guys just need to admit that UND screwed up big time by not moving up with NDSU. Your envy is showing all over these posts.
