I see no problem with attaching strings to $100+ million

wow, seems like you can't please everyone. I think the talk has been great so far

not whining at all I think NDSU was sick of UND getting all of the sports attention from across the country and they were sick of playing second fiddle to UND's hockey team and their facility. They decided it was in their best interests to move up to D1. With the move, they now put some of their long standing relationships in jeopardy. They are the ones moving and it was their decision to leave the NCC and D2. UND did not move, and even if you don't agree with UND staying at the D2 level, it does not make sense to blame UND for the rivalry ending. I'm still on the fence on the issue of UND moving up to D1. I'm not sure D2 is going down the road, where all of us would like them to go, but I really don't think moving to D1 is the ultimate answer either. Will NDSU be competitive in football in a couple years? no doubt, they have a great tradition, faithful fan following, and very nice facilities. How about basketball? They might make the big dance once every 50 years, not sure if making the field of 64 and then getting beat by 50 against Duke in the first round is really the answer either. just my thoughts and feelings on the issue

I guess I didn't read it that way. I read it that, when football was over, there would be a dome type structure over the field, but could be wrong.

if you are not satisfied with our answers, go back to your own board

UND will never have a hobey baker winner again. Only if the guy scores 60 goals or has 130 points in a season.

who cares, I'm surprised us midwesterners are smart enough to turn a computer on and post on this board

sounds like a great facility I hope the attendance will rise to the level they deserve to have at their games.

you think you know what is best for not only NDSU, but also you think you know everything that is going on at UND. You can question the future of NCC, that is not a problem. but why take a shot at us at the end of your post, no need for that at all.

It just makes me laugh how some of these bison fans like to come on here and offer up their thoughts and feelings on issues, but don't like to be challenged on the facts. Go back to bisonville.com and stay there.

this stadium looks to be a great improvement over Selke

I don't think you will see the men's appear on that ranking all year.

The Bears have been an underperforming team for a while, looks like they might keep it that way.

The Herald article does credit the Knight Ridder, it does not try and pass the article off as its own.

after a couple mins into the first period, the UND staff would try and "guesstimate" how many open seats were available throughout the building and then sold that amoun to people who were waiting to buy the tickets. It worked a couple times, but ran into problems on more than one occasion.

I thought he was hired as the Bears linebackers coach?

bison fans just can't stop coming on here and trying to jab us anytime they get a chance.

Blais is classless? What would that make Woog and Nanne?

I'm trying not to get too excited until this becomes official.

I would have to say that UND has been Minnesota's biggest rival over the past 7or 8 years, with all the success both teams have enjoyed.

If he is a such a defensive genius, maybe Babich should have spent more time focusing on that when he coached at NDSU.

I haven't heard, I don't think so.

Not a surprise to us that Kevin has some great wheels.

three of last four of six of ten, who cares, throw those records out of the window

Who has helped him develop those skills at UND?
