Messenger??? LOL Paid hatchet man--yes.

What??? You meant that to be funny. Didnt you. You almost got me.

I think the quote was-- we wouldnt be going to GF on there watch. which was after BF demanded every year and then started negotiating through the media. Fact is if he would have taken the first deal it would have been done. BF handcuffed you guys.

We were still averaging 14-16k fans before the championship run. I cant see how you can say we will see that much of a huge drop. I agree there are many fans that want to see this game. Many NDSU fans want it as well.

Keep fighting the good fight! I find it strange the govt is trying to regulate vapping when they let the food supplement industry run wild with the FDA turning a blind eye.

Weve caught lightening in a bottle. Most realize that the championship run cant last forever. But weve only had 3 losing seasons since 1964. So the drop off shouldnt be catastrophic.

Deleware was a power house in the 70-80s. Cant say how they did after that.

Fact--if Faison would have accepted the first offer which was a home and home instead of demanding a game every year we would be talking about the next game. Thats a fact. Now grated after that GT played you pretty good. But BF didnt help with his side of the negotiation by waiting for a long period of time so when he finally did accept one of the proposals the landscape had changed and then so did our offer.

I see you didnt read or comprehend the IMO part? IMO doesnt mean its my belief. Even though some of the asshattery is. Ive always stated the the game should be played. As Ive already done in this thread.

Ive played in the game. I know what the rivaly is all about. I was for restarting the rivalry. So you can put that to rest. Yep you would think that people would forget that you refused to schedule us in any sport. Yeah like thats going to happen. LOL

He didnt ask. He Demanded. If he wouldnt have done that the game would have been played long before it did.

Its his opinion. He doesnt speak for NDSU just like I dont. Its our opinion. So you cant say they lied. Geez.

If we lose some of our luster then it will be easier to schedule other schools who wont play us now. How does that put you in a better position?

It doesnt have anything to do with the thought of losing. If that was the reason we wouldnt even play you in Fargo. The reason we wont come to GF anytime soon is---IMO I repeat IMO---- is your past behavior towards NDSU, BFs asshattery and demands during the negotiations and a deep seated dislike of UND and its culture. We just dont like you and the baggage associated with dealing with you. Plus you then also add in our scheduling philosophy. That doesnt put you in a priority position. Again. This is my opinion. I do have a question for the board. Considering the dislike for all things NDSU and the bad mouthing that comes with it why do you want this game so badly? Why the whining when we schedule other schools?

Thanks. I had missed that.

Thank you for that insight.

Dont most reporters when investigating go to the supposed source for verification and or to get the other side of the story before coming o a conclusion and then reporting it? Or are they supposed to report ALL of the information and let the readers come to there own conclusion from the facts presented? Or is journalistic integrity a thing of the past and tabloid journalism now the new norm?

I agree.

Wow considering the context of that statement, he had it exactly right on trying to control the spin. Operative words are--level of discourse. You do know what that means? No where does he state what you infer.

He looks like a movie star. Chumley from TN Tuxedo. Im still working on the other two.

Where did the "alumni he had no time for" come from?? Why are you so concerned about an apology to NDSU? You trying to add to the supposed drama? LOL

I think one must also look at the timing of the kerfuffle he was responding to in his texts. Were they while he was away at the funeral when the blow up occured? Its also plausible that he didnt have all the details of the media rights deal so he wouldnt of had the foresight to look at the immediate and long range repercussions. Were more stipulations put in to place after the original consultation so he would have been blindsided by the whole thing and then trying to do damage control without knowing all the details?. Hence the inappropriate texts.

The quote was to "control the spin"? IOW he wanted to control the spin--like you are trying to put on it.
