I shared as much as I wanted to.

Wrong. I said there were some past due accounts. But they have since finally got paid after a very long time. I think its called a shell game.

Wow more spin. Just because I say there is alot going on behind the scenes you extrapolate it to mean---"here really is "a lot going on behind the scenes" and the athletic department representatives willingly and knowingly didn't share the real reasons for their request "" You already have a preconceived opinion and you were trying to infer or walk me to that conclusion. So I will leave you to those. May be if you make a phone call like I did it will make sense to you.

So your saying they asked for money but knowingly didn't disclose the actual reasons they need it? Nice spin.

Yeah that presentation was pretty !@#!$ and didnt further their cause one bit. Even though there is a lot going on behind the scenes they should have been better prepared.

The student can challenge what ever they want. Not an issue with me. Asking for more money not an issue either. If its an issue with you fine.Thats your deal. Explanations were given. You dont want to believe it?? Then make something up to fit your narrative that you want. Its not like we didnt know you wouldnt pitch a fit about it. LOL

Not comparing NDSU to UND. No bailing needed. .

So all of the sudden this year they became too expensive deal with? Nothing has changed for NDSU. Same programs, same costs as every other college has to endure. Do they go up at times, yep. So does everyone elses. Once again - why this year? You played USC...in what? I was wrong it was Stanford in WSB. But FYI expenses change every year. Especially with travel. Here is the the preseason away shedule for WSB this year. It costs money to do this.

I think we just played USC. Hardly a comparison to Brookings.

Air vs Bus. Certain days of travel cost more on departure and return. Wanting to play more away games for baseball, softball in the early spring. Not to mention golf and outdoor track. Hotels and meal costs are rising constantly. Those are just a few.

Im not a fan of the F-n Hawks nickname. FYI.

Thats not bad. But I really like the one where it had a hawk face and the feathers that looked like it came off the Brein logo.

Nope never even knew there was a 3 verse. Heck I didnt even know there was a second. Its nothing more than an out dated term. But I am sure somebody will make a big deal about it just because they can.

Yeah those ten posts of his shows a real obsession.

When have I said you were irrelevant?

I find your statement to be incorrect. The only posts that get moderated are repetitive way over the top BS. It really takes an unpresidented amount of stupid BS to be put in that category.

If it was me I would buy all the Sioux gear I could get and tell the NCAA to kiss my _-_-_.

So? The fact is both sides post on each others boards. Considering the close proximity Im surprised there isnt more on each site. Whining about people posting on an open forum is amusing.

And you have UND fans who post at BV. Thats really a non starter dont you think.

Well there you go. I havent seen Illinois play BB in many many years. Thanks for the info!

You havent mentioned the facts that Ruleys teams started going down hill for some time and fans were calling for her head.. Dorn was suspended because she made very inappropriate comments . After that she was still the Womens AD for 2-3 years after. I wouldnt call that shortly. Geez. A couple of other points. Gene Taylor left in 2014. Lynn Dorn retired in 2015. Opps

Was it a shoulder patch or some such? I cant ever remember seeing it.

Illinois didnt retire the name that I know of. They just got rid of the Indian war dance and they no longer play for the peace pipe against Northwestern. The NCAA ran in to a hang up with the Illini as they are extinct and have been for some time.

Good points!

The P5 isnt going to allow anyone else in their party. Thats one of the reasons they have autonomy. Yes they will increase the playoff field but not the numbers some think to get a G5 in.
