I believe we werent playoff eligible at the time. So why would he have pulled the plug? But the question is pretty irrelevant because you had already pulled the plug.

Without a doubt? No cant say that. But considering how long ago it was and all of the open dates that were available during that time the game could have been scheduled years in advance. You wouldnt have the added animosity etc. Plus if BF would have taken the deal GT offered but not guaranteeing a game every year the rivalry would have already been renewed. Me thinks you need to look in your own back yard to understand why this game isnt being played. If it makes you feel better to point at GT be my guest. It wont get you any closer to playing the game. Give BF a call and tell him to take the deal now offered. It gets your foot in the door and will renew interest in the game. If GT doesnt schedule the game after that then you can start pointing the finger.

I was at Iowa when they didnt play as well. But they did play ISU is other sports.

Because you hosed NDSU on the FB schedule. Not too hard to figure out. Plus your AD keeps trying to negotiate this in the media which doesnt play well. But all this stuff is nothing but noise. If you want the game take the deal.

Provide the link to that quote.

YOU need to take the deal to get past the black hole that you created. Dont let your egos get in the way.

Not making excuses at all. But if it makes you feel better you go with that.

No NDSU has not said that. They have said the first two games will be held in Fargo. Its a shame that you had to cancel the rivalry. I would love to see the game played. Because it should be about "the game". IMO But its now its a big business. Business relationships must be developed AGAIN to make this happen. The terms have been given to restart the game. If Brian REALLY wants this game he will accept the terms and take the money. Dont let your egos get in the way. If you really want the game that is.

Its because you destroyed a business relationship. Take the deal to get your foot in the door. You have bridges you need to build.

I never said he was holding it up due to ego. Fact--he has offered to play the game. Take the deal and get your foot in the door. Its your ego that wont allow you to do it.

Are you really going to keep trying to hang your hat on the----they are afraid of losing? If you are filling your schedule up then quit worrying about playing NDSU. ""And I don’t buy the argument that by playing UND, NDSU is risking a bad loss. Upper echelon programs never think that way."" Wayne Nelson

I understand the rivalry. Too bad UND forgot what you just stated when they cancelled it. But ----back to the point at hand. If UND wants to get their foot back in the door accept the deal. Pretty simple.

My comment is in regards to this comment----may be the operative word is REALLY. If Taylor really wanted the game he would have signed the contract and not change the venue in 2017.

How will this haunt him? He really doesnt care what you think of his credibility.

Nobody has ever said Tayor wants the game. Your AD is the one who trys to negotiate this through the media. Regardless--- take the deal to get your foot in the door.

Take the deal and find out.

Take the deal and it will happen. Faison screwed the pooch along time ago when he DEMANDED a game every year. He could of had the home and home back then. Since then NDSUs scheduling strategy has changed. If he REALLY wants the game take the terms of this deal to get your foot in the door. If hes not willing to do so then quit bitching. UND isnt bargaining from a position of strength.

May be it was the image of the N/A in the episode that is the dead give away? Not to mention the past history? Dont see how you can spin it any other way but I gotta give ya credit for trying.

Wow picking on a kid. Feel better?

The thing is you really dont have a program right now considering your performance the last couple of years and the loss of your coaching staff. There is no direction or leadership. Big void up there right now and there isnt anything to buy in to.

According to the presser WY told Bohl to take care of business and finish out the season. You can take over your duties when you get here.

He should have also filed a request for a SR-22 with his insurance company. The company would then notify the DMV that SR-22 has been filed to show proof of insurance. You need this to have your DL re-issued. I would have also thought an SR-22 would have been needed to be filed with the schools insurance company as well since he was driving state vehicles and or booster donated demos..

I know in MN the BAC drops to .04 if you have a CDL even if you are driving your car. ND I dont know.

How do you know that was the conversation? If it isnt written down it didnt happen. Thats why you document everything in a case like this. Unless----

I would expect at least a written reprimand. Not making the media? Fat chance in Fargo. But not making the media----you tell me how you folks here would look at it if it were NDSU? Gotta play by the same rules---so its going to be slippery slope for you.
