no matter what, no way NDSU leaves the MVFC for a Summit football conference!

I'll add this, you want to get hardcore, your hockey team will never get the publicity that The North Dakota State University mens Bball team has had in the past week, and that moron is the reality!!! Live with it!! sorry and thanks for all the well wishers but I can't handle people as narrow minded as this idiot!! or sorry JEALOUS!!!

well your a idiot!!! ban me for it i don't care, nothing on this thread has been smack until now, and as most have stated its not a NDSU/UND thing its a STATE of North Dakota thing, these players NDSU has on their team have never played or been part of the UND/NDSU rivalry, so why is it so hard to cheer for a in state team??? grow up!! whay can you not "root" for the bison when your men and women can't compete at the same level for a few years? its completely childish!!

Yeah it almost as if something has frozen over!!!

First off thanks for the support from everyone, all are correct this isn't just a NDSU victory its a North Dakota victory what these kids have done and hope they can keep rolling is awesome for the ENTIRE state!! Secondly Woodside, Winkleman, Nelson, Moorman, and Tvedt are all class acts along with the rest of the team, those big 4 seniors are great leaders and teachers for our upcoming underclassmen which towards the end of this year have shown they can play also, I seriously credit it to the seniors! again thanks for the support and also i'll be watching the Hockey guys good luck

Nice try, but look at the attendence of the Mens game last Saturday for the Bunny game!

Kinda like some of the UND fans?? I find it funny that after one season of 10 games with crap home schedule, the UND backers push a bill to FORCE at least one quality game a year for the Sioux fans, as much as you guys don't like to admit it playing NDSU a top 25 team for the past several years benefits UND more than NDSU, as our regular season conference schedule brings in top 25 teams without begging! Go ahead and make fun of our .500 season but UND would have had 1 win in the MVFC last year, and ISU-B might have even pulled that one off! I could only imagine what would have been said in 04 if NDSU fans sponsored a bill to Force UND to play NDSU during their transition!!

Isn't that the truth!! Can't people just let the Transitions run their course and the two teams WILL play, I would be willing to bet without anybody sticking their noses into the schools HIRED AD's business that there will be a 2012 game! Its just plain STUPID to think that NDSU and UND will never play again! but then again I don't think i've ever known a truly Smart politician

Just curious why you would think NDSU would even consider this?

I think this is happening right now! Fiason would probably do or take ANY deal Taylor would throw at him for a game in any sport!!

Seen ZZtop in Sturgis this year, one word HORRIBLE, first song sounded ok considering the age, lost his voice after that. I would consider saving the money for something else!! just my opinion and what was seen by the 8 of us that went.

WRONG! Football CHAMPIONSHIP Subdivision (FCS) competes for the NCAA DI Football Championship Football BOWL Subdivison (FBS) competes in selected Bowl games the BCS which is not sponsored by the NCAA so looks like the only DI championship in football is awarded to the schools in DI FCS football.

Shouldn't UND be your favorite DI team???

All FBS and FCS games are DI vs. DI if you don't like to use the CORRECT terms at least use I-A and I-AA as both are DI.

Congrats on playing a Big 12 team, it will help with exposure, but you schedule 1 FBS game and start bashing NDSU, remember there is a certain team fron Idaho, you guys are scheduled out for 2 years with, and CMU, Ball. St, Minnesota, and Wyoming would kill them any day and every day. Pretty bad when Idaho won't play Montana anymore because the constant a**kickings! little statistic NDSU 3-1 against FBS 1-1 against BCS!

2006 - SE-Louisiana 62-0 2007 - Northwestern St. (La.) 75-7 yeah they'll bring it! good luck!

Not disagreeing with you, but you have to admit its a 2-way street on that!! Fans from both schools have done nothing but beat each other down no matter who they play or what accomplishments they have received, and quite frankly its damn stupid. I have said nothing negative about UND or the GWC and GWFC, but you apparently read between the lines to find negativity, not ALL Bison fans feel that way.

DL i wasn't implying you wouldn't beat Poly, I was just stating that the same hype will be put into that as the first time SU beat them. I for one hope you guys do have the same games we did with Poly and Davis We thumped each team just to come back the next year and get thumped by them, all very exciting, wasn't trash talkin!!

NDSU was part of the United Basketball conference or ALLIANCE whatever you want to call it, in their early transition also. And I find nothing wrong with UND and USD being a part of the same concept, but to say the Great West FOOTBALL Conference was full of bottom feeders shows your ignorance!! Cal Poly is one of the HIGHLY respected FCS programs in the nation and UC-Davis is right up there, so yes it was highly touted when a transitioning team could play and beat a top ranked and established FCS team, as UND will find out in the coming years. Here is the link to the still active website for the ALLIANCE for all those interested http://www.unitedbasketballconference.com/

Wow, pass that stuff to me man!! must be some good stuff

I agree, but remember when the schedule is made the AD's pick "power" teams from the previous year, and as NDSU and many other schools have found out, if you schedule a Ranked team from the year before they may turn out to be a flop. UND's 08 schedule is what I think is expected for a transition team, and everyone beats down Southern Utah, they may very well turn it around this year or next and be a very powerfull team (their 07 schedule was brutal and they nearly took a couple of those). I do not agree with the everyone is scared to play us card, thats just dumb. Good luck! everything will change in 09.

Exactly It will be here and gone before you know it. Good Luck

I doubt any team is Scared to play you! I would have to think its more of a Don't count as a DI sort deal and Western Illinois is poised to make a playoff run in the Gateway and doesn't need a DII win or loss keeping them from the playoffs. Once UND counts as a DI opponent I don't think you'll have a hard time finding teams, and once the GWFC gets both USD and UND into the full schedule.

Dale has gone to a Very good FCS school, I wish he would have stayed at UND to Build a Program thru the Transition, but this may also open the door for an up and coming coach to shine!! Not to bring it up as smack, but Bohl has done well, and this same scenario could just as easy play out for you guys. Good Luck!!
