I have always wondered that? What if the tribal council went to Standing Rock to meet with their tribal council could something have been worked out? I just wish this was during the 2007-2010 timeline then maybe something more could be done.

I wasn't going to put Sac St #1. They were unranked and so I needed to put them in the poll somewhere. As for NDSU until they lose they will climb if everyone else loses.

My dad took me to my first hockey game in 1984 vs CC (I was 8) and my first football game in 1985 vs E. Strousburg (PA), I would ride my bike to Memorial Stadium or walked to the Hyslop or the old REA I loved that I lived just blocks from those venues. Since moving to Fargo in 1999 I still bleed green and white and listen to the Sioux either on the radio or catch them on tv, and try to drive up for a game, I still haven't seen a game yet in the Betty but will soon. Even though my wife is a die hard Bison fan and she is slowing turning the kids towards them I will always be a Sioux fan!!!

299 days left until we are eligible for playoffs and in the Big Sky!!!!!

Could the Alerus be transfered into a retractable roof stadium? Just pop the roof off and stick a new roof on it and add seating in the endzones to make us FBS eligible.

Its hard to put the Metrodome as a tough venue when half the crowd is for NDSU.

I feel like they are a top 5 team, even though it was against Layfette.

Wagner, St. Francis, Western Carolina equals a lower seed NAIA team. I beat Sioux Falls could beat those schools.

Here is how I voted, and if UND beats Idaho I am putting them into the polls. 1: Georgia Southern Eagles 2: Eastern Washington Eagles 3: North Dakota State Bison 4: Wofford Terriers 5: William & Mary Tribe 6: Appalachian State Mountaineers 7: Montana State Bobcats 8: Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens 9: Jacksonville State Gamecocks 10: Northern Iowa Panthers 11: Richmond Spiders 12: Lehigh Mountain Hawks 13: Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 14: New Hampshire Wildcats 15: Montana Grizzlies 16: Villanova Wildcats 17: Southern Illinois Salukis 18: Central Arkansas Bears 19: Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 20: James Madison Dukes 21: South Dakota State Jackrabbits 22: Sacramento State Hornets 23: Sam Houston State Bearkats 24: Liberty Flames 25: Cal Poly Mustangs

Just for everyone to know NDSU will NEVER agree to have the game every year because they love having 6 home games a year. Of course those home games are with the cupcakes of the FCS. I bet the first time UND-NDSU meet (of course in the Fargodome) NDSU will end the deal and GT wll make up some excuse like we are moving to the FBS. NDSU just signed up OOC Western Carolina (2-9 last year) and Robert Morris (of course after UND signed up RM to come to GF). Also NDSU has had 1 road OOC FCS game since joining the MVFC 2009 against Sam Houston St, and since beating NDSU I think Gene Taylor will stay away from the tough OOC teams and stick to the cupcakes.

Josh Duhamel is a known Sioux fan!! He has promoted them in his movies.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go away troll.

AMEN!!!!

Being in the BSC and being 1 year from the BSC is two different things. Even if the name was safe (last year) the attendance wouldn't have been greater. We had under 10,000 last home opener and its for the same reason...transition. Everyone knew attendance wouldn't be that great this year and its understandable. Wait til next year before you judge attendance.

Holding calls are the killer of penalties on offense. On the Idaho message boards fans are still livid about losing to BG. They blame abandoning the run, and just airing out the ball. If our pass defense gives up 5+ yards per play like they did on Drake it could get ugly. I agree Muss needs a perfect game!!

So after our 16-0 win over Drake...lets turn to our next opponent FBS Idaho. Last year we lost 45-0. After seeing our defense stop drake from scoring in the redzone twice and seeing our offense not turnover the ball whats our chances to get our first FBS win? + no turnovers + stop the pass + penalties I think these 3 are key for us to win the game. Final score 35-31 UND!!!

Just ask Miami, USC, and SMU this.

Like others have said maybe he is going to show everything next weekend against Idaho. Don't want to show the Vandals all we have, and this way keep them guessing.

We had Kurt Otto, Willis Jacox, and Tracy Martin. I think UND won 2 or 3 games that year.

13,500 with suites

I read the last time the Sioux lost a home opener was in 1986. I was at that game it was the 67-44 thumping to Texas A&I (now Texas A&M-Kingsville). With a streak like this can we get a FBS team to come to Grand Forks.

Isn't that a city in western ND out by Lake Sakakawea? I didn't know they had a team.

Lots to work on, maybe its first game jitters. We did have a +2 in turnovers and that is great keep the penalties down (we had 12), and catch the ball (that drop in the EZ hurt) and we should be okay. Muss has 2 extra days to get the kinks out and perfect this team.

The reason I wasn't there...kids have school in the morning.
