closure rate in GF is much Higher than Fargo, come on you know that! now as to why..who knows maybe people just stay home more in GF, I have always said in my 25 years living in Fargo that people love to go out and eat here, maybe the city is hard to work with I don't know but something has to cause it. Taco Johns went down as a franchise, they were terribly mismanaged, never knew if they would be open or not oh and shitholes, sounds like they are trying to find a new Franchisee, but investors are not big into the resurrection type thing now days, especially here in Fargo where there is literally a Taco/Mexican place on every street. they would rather bring a new concept in. Three Lyons..lol that place was plagued with employee problems for years they even had to close because none of the staff showed up for a few days in boycott of bad wages and terrible management. Fargo in General has really great establishments, there will always be closures but the rate of new opening vs closing is reaching pre 2020 range again. I personally would rather see the Fast food places downsize as i eat 90% local or regional chain (Luckys, Doolittles, Crave, Ect) I still wonder how the hell GF could not keep a Hu Hot open...

I do, wasn't trying to argue, just saying the same conference UND is in lut 6 teams in the field, someday that will help UND and NDSU. Being in a strong conference helps and hurts at the same time, but saying money is why is ignorant.

same reason your fans post on our site, just doing some national reading tonight, trying to have a conversation but obviously you don't have any factual reasoning to back up the opinion you posted so sorry for supplying some facts, have a great evening

how do you figure this? 10-1, 1 loss by 7 in the road, went 3-1 vs the playoff teams, beat 7 ranked teams. Outright champ of the strongest FCS conference their resume equals the seed. JMU was 0-1 vs Playoff teams, didnt even with their conference, Nova did.

There is a shot but unfortunately I think the committee is anti MVFC but we will see personally i think 6 mvfc teams are worthy

Disagree, they have a non qualifying win, If UND beats them i think they are out. Either way they will be playing opening round and going on the road after that

Ogbu had a last minute call from Georgia Tech with an offer, he chose NDSU Saybein Clark held a strong offer from Iowa, he chose NDSU. Trey Lance had a last minute call from Boise St (I know not P5) There are others I'm missing, and their narrative for choosing NDSU in most cases was the staff and fact that they will get a shot at the next level just like the P5 and compete for a Championships year In and out. I know I'm missing others and it happens at many other schools in the SE part of the country more frequently than NDSU

I was pointing more to other fans clamoring the superiority of the MVFC, never said you didn't know nor say you were wrong...LOL

With all the big classes Graduated last year, it was known by everyone who actually follows other conference schools the MVFC would be down. A down MVFC is still a top 3 conference means something

I agree, but it's also not worn out like originally stated

Umm...it was brand new in 2012, I belive it is exactly the same age as the Alerus Centers Granted it has had a lot of games played on it between NDSU and HS, it's far from worn out

Um, good luck with this, UND has zero pull in the MVFC

It happened several times for a short stint, I sit near the students There are many things the UND staff needs to worry about before a chant and a Mascot with a hockey sign first though

Well in rebuttal a group of UND fans stopped at my tailgate and had nothing but positive things to say like 99% of visiting fans But like any game there are idiots so if you had a bad experience I apologize for the drunk morons And yes..lots of hockey jerseys yesterday Oshie and Toews (sp?) And i thought Noah Wanzek looked like a really good player, he seemed like the backbone of the offense and made plays when they needed it.

Finally? You do know they made the National Championship in 2016 right

I had to respond to this.....my god that would be an awesome thread...the lunacy in there would cause heads to explode I FULLY SUPPORT THE NEW THREAD!!!

NDSU seats are on the Camera side, not behind the bench.

Coming from someone in Bismarck this is rich...lol

so you know he had off the field issues?

again what have I posted that is arrogant, insecure ect.. I'm interested in the FCS playoffs, just responding to a couple that have posted false info, I have not talked smack or insulted anyone, in fact go back and read my posts in this thread I even said all you can hope for is to win Saturday and let the committee decide on making the playoffs. I read many teams message boards and post on several but i seem to get grief here only. Sorry for adding an outside opinion and yes there are several UND posters on BV to answer a question a few posts back

What have I posted but facts to SiouxVolley that also hold up against Bin's comments about the Valley that make me insecure? They both are trying to downplay that in FACT the MVFC has been a stronger conference since 2002, this year is questionable yes SiouxVOlley tried to say the MVFC was weak because in 2002 Western Kentucky won a Championship and the Valley did not win another till 2011, while in that exact same time frame the Big Sky only won 1 also, but he didn't want to respond to the fact that since 2002 the MVFC has put 5 different teams in the Championship game compared to 2 from the Big sky, When 2 conference teams meet in the NC game its undeniable the strength of the conference or when one conference has been in the title game every year since 2011 Those are FACTS, the insecurity comes from the 2 downplaying their future conference, NDSU thought exactly the same thing going from the GWFC to the Valley, 2009 we were beat up bad and went 3-8, took a whole new recruiting class and philosophy in 2010 to change it around. I'm sorry if I believe UND is going down that same route, think what you want but playing Physical Power games week after week compared to chuck the pigskin offenses is a whole different animal.

This is classic...the last 15 years disproves all this, but carry on

your point? Nowhere does it say MVFC is better than the SEC, if your reference is College students making a sign then that's funny, cause there are a ton of Hawks fans on film making complete A...s of themselves also. As for playoffs, only thing UND can do is focus on this Saturday which Im plenty sure the team probably is, then wait till Sunday and see what happens at 11:30 AM on ESPNU

must be locked in the secret FBS vault

I would love you to link to one source where this has been stated???
