UND1983

As far as a prediction.....being in the Dome where shooting is usually tough, I will go with: NDSU 68 UND 51

Don't worry about them having to learn it. At a home game vs. Oakland two years ago, there were 3 separate chants that broke out with "Sioux" or "UND" in them. 2 by the band and 1 by the student section. I am sure that wasn't an isolated incident meaning I would bet they still make Sioux references at home games.

He said something about it being a 2 game deal so I assume they are coming to UND next year. As far as attendance he thought is could be sold out, meaning 9-10k.

Saul Phillips is on 790 right now and could not be more excited about the game this weekend. Raving about how many people are going to be there and how it

Northwestern State was 5-6 this year with 4 of those being Southland wins.

So close.

So now 12k is pretty good huh? Last week it was a guaranteed 16-17k because of your "rabid" fan base, which obviously doesn't exist. Looks like I knew what I was talking about with playoff attendance, doesn't it?

Wow, nice writeup!

With the move to the Big Sky Mr. Faison does not care anymore. UND no longer needs games.

I see I have been ripped apart by my prediction above. I am sticking by it, however. Bison fans are going to be in for a rude awakening when it comes to playoff attendance. $25/ticket is pretty expensive for the average fan, plus as I stated earlier everyone has to buy one now, even students. I tried out their ticket process and found 4 tickets all together in Section 2, Row 3 (40 yard line). With Thanksgiving coming up hardly anybody is going to buy any on Wed or Thurs so that leaves Friday and the walkup crowd on Saturday. Better be one hell of a walkup. We will see on Saturday night.

This stuff is gold. Keep it coming Crue. Will we have to wait until you get home from the bar again?

They had a lot of fun with our attendance in the playoffs (even though we had home playoff games every year for 6-7 years). Lets see how many people they get to show up when: - Everyone has to buy a ticket. Everyone. Students, season ticket holders, faculty, parents. - They can't have 2 for 1's at Stop and Go. - It is Thanksgiving Weekend = No Students - They can't lie about there attendance because season tickets don't count anymore. - They are playing the worst team in the entire field which was a complete gift by the committee. I am guessing there will be 10-11k.

I will be there with my family. Not often we get road games this close to home so why not take advantage of it! Go Sioux!

Hang in there Marlin, keep fighting! You were the best at what you did in the recruiting world without a doubt.

So if UND waits a week that means the MVFC doesn't offer USD? They obviously had a plan to take 1 team. If we wait then we look really bad for telling the BSC to hold on, then finding out that the MVFC only wants one team and it isn't us. How do we win by waiting? UND only had one date to dance with, the BSC.

Who cares?

Agreed. Everyone listen up: the invite from the MVFC was not coming. I repeat, it was NOT coming. We had 1 choice if we wanted FB to be in a conference. I am not upset at all by this.

The way its going i have a feeling they are going to wait. See if the MVFC votes to take them here sometime in future.

If true this tells me the Board of Regents down there are holding it up. The AD and Prez had to have signed off for the Big Sky to send them a signed letter and announce it like they did Monday.

What exactly did he say? He has been pretty vague this whole time.

The Gophers do not like playing against Dakota schools do they? You would think they would learn their lesson after beating SDSU by 3 and Bison by 1 and losing by 6 to Bison also.

There seems to be a lot of predictions similar to this among Bison fans. I have seen anywhere from 20-40 point blowout. One question: you do realize your team sucked last year, right? Their record was 11-18 with the best win of the season coming vs. 14-16 SDSU. Oh wait, thats right, I keep forgetting that you had the best recruiting class in Summit League history and your program is rich with tradition. Seriously Bison fans, can you at least be realistic. I know UND is way down but c'mon. Plus, the game is being played in the Dome which will change things.

This may have been stated already but it seems to me that we would want Sac State to go the WAC thus opening up a spot for somebody. Granted, if there is only one spot it would probably be filled by Southern Utah, but it would be best for us to have Sac State or Portland State move on and Montana stay.

Nice job by the student athletes, those are some very good scores! When compared to our 'regional' rivals we were ahead of all of them and it wasn't that close. To have 8 perfect scores is truly amazing.

JBB and Bison Dan are screaming: "But what about UND?"
