Well of course there's disappointment over losing a big game. Tell me, though, are any of NDSU's 3 national titles in FCS somehow tainted because of a regular season loss? Nobody in the locker room after a national title game win is feeling any heartbreak over losing a rivalry game held earlier in the season. Edited because of my chubby fingers typing B instead of C.

I'm sure your opinion would be exactly the same if Montana or Montana State would have tried to put 100 on the board against UND last season. The game had been won - take a knee and run out the clock.

Oh please. This board would be blowing up right now if EWU was actually North Dakota State University and punched in a late TD against UND to make a statement.

You and I agree to disagree then if you think that UND would be losing sleep over a mid-season non-conference loss to NDSU in a year that saw the team go on to win its first FBS national championship. The rings wouldn't need an asterisk.

Up 2 TD's with 30some seconds left...how foolish do you look if the QB or RB is twisted around like a pretzel and breaks an ankle or tears an ACL because you wanted to punch in one more TD?

Take a friggin' knee, EWU, and have some class, coach.

Attendance is probably on-par with today's Hoover/Miami Central high school football game.

Oh, no question, Hayduke, it would be AWESOME! Of course, the folks who like "Freeze" or "Northern Lights" would be disappointed. Boo hoo, I say.

Beating a rival for a national title doesn't erase the memory of losing to them earlier in the year? Let me think back to 2000, 82SiouxGuy, for a second...I don't know what the Sioux record was against the Gophers that year and I don't care at this point. All I know is that there is an NCAA hockey championship trophy with the words "North Dakota" on it sitting inside REA.

Anyone else with sore retinas? That red field is awfully hard to watch on TV.

I can already see the NCAA hissy-fit if that was actually chosen as the new nickname...

I'm familiar with Rocky...forgot the quote. Still disagree with the statement. Does Alabama remember losing to LSU in the SEC championship game a few years ago...or do they remember smoking the Tigers a couple of weeks later in the national championship game?

Respectfully disagree. Will baseball recruits see more highlights of UND beating NDSU or NDSU playing #1 Oregon State on TV in the college baseball tournament? Will basketball recruits see more of UND beating NDSU or the Bison defeating Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament?

Hey, I'm with you on that argument. That's like buying a house a block down W 7th Street at Kellogg Blvd in St Paul and then complaining about all the traffic on nights the Wild are playing at home.

"Dill-usional"? Is that a pickle craving of some sort?

Quote feature won't work for me either.

Auburn football 2012: 3-9 overall, 0-8 SEC. 49-0 loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Auburn football 2013: 12-2 overall, 7-1 SEC. 34-28 win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl. And about 30 seconds away from winning a national title. That's the difference a new year can make.

It's almost a shame that the plural of "shrew" isn't "shrew." Heeeeeeeere's your University of North Dakota Fighting Shrew scooooooo-ring!

How come he's being "interviewed" in broad daylight while everyone else is standing outside in late evening/night-time?

Are you sure? I could have sworn that Quincy, M.E. was on the scene.

Combated and defeated? When did buying property become a crime?

LOL! Hunter? Didn't he and Remington Steele die in a fiery car crash a couple of years ago?

Still mad that the Bruins dumped him, Goon?

The University of Utah will be putting the seal of the Ute tribe on its helmet against Arizona this season.
