Throw in a boatload of immaturity and a couple scoops of troll and thats what you get.

Thanks for the confirmation. I also have never heard of a traveling trophy being played for out of the regular season. Plus the fact the Sioux nickname isnt on the table anymore there is no reason to play for it.

Wow you sure like to use extremes. But take this in to consideration. NDSU has done very well against FBS competition even though we are at a scholarship disadvantage. If that scenario stays the same then yes NDSU would have a difficult time playing (for example only) Big Ten teams every week. Depth would be a huge issue. BUT give NDSU the same amount of full rides that the big schools have. You dont think NDSU wouldnt be competitive?

The majority of fans anywhere dont have a clue what the costs of such a move entails. So you are going to believe a bunch of tweeters? LOL

Only one person is foaming at the mouth at being the next Boise State and thats lakes. But hes been pretty much shut down over there. Whats stopping us from moving up? The NCAA rules for one thing. You have to be invited to a conference thats FBS. They no longer allow you to be an independent and then look for a conference. Plus there are also a host of other considerations one has to make before such a move can be undertaken. But the NCAA rules is a biggie.

At least you wont repeat the same mistake in the future. See you get a two-fer.

Or every gun owner for that matter unless you are of a certain religious affiliation. Then you are a lone wolf.

Please do but do you really want to embarrass yourself? The reason I say this is because I once said that to a lawyer friend of mine in conversation. His response was "WHY do people keep believing that premiss because nothing could be further from the truth.

FYI---if a lawyer ever tells you that---hire a different lawyer.

Nobody said it was easy. It was a factual comment. Why so defensive?

UND no longer has a Blue Key organization anymore I am told. Its my understanding that Blue Key and UND have had some talks about the future of the trophy considering it will never be played for again. But didnt I read an article where Faison said the Nickle was out of the picture and retired?

I thought the article was pretty well balanced. There were a couple of points he brought up that I would disagree with but over all, not a bad read.

Just narrow minded on the abject ignorance you show on a daily basis . It has nothing to do with offense.

From what Ive heard you have brought in some pretty good talent and size on the D-line. Plus your linebackers are supposed to be a strong points as well. Your thoughts?

You just dont get it do you. Just stop.

Bad luck is part of the game. Kaka happenes to every team. Some teams it just happens more in some years than others.

I dont look for much of an offensive drop off from last year in the running game dept. Morlock, Bonnet, Frazier all return plus a new kid is supposed to very good but I dont follow the recruiting game. Plus we have a few others that got carries last year. I also think out passing game will be better.

So you are talking in a circle when you get boxed in. Just stop. You are embarrassing.

You need to know how to defend it and take the time to teach it. Its called assignment football. Your D has to be very very disciplined. If its an offense you only see once a year you arent going to be very good at defending for it unless you have ample time to prepare. Plus looking at some of the teams they played last year Im not impressed.

Iowa played GT about 5 years ago in the Orange Bowl and killed GT who I think was a National leader in offense. Its not hard to defend. Its called assignment football. I cant believe the little pup is bragging up the academies. They havent been notably successful in years-decades.

That doesnt answer the question. But it is close to the response I expected.

You think I should post this for your UND friends who post on an almost daily basis at BV?

Its a message board. They post to post. Just like you do. Certainly not over concerns unless you are having a real discussion where a person might say he has some concerns over a possible match up. To try and extrapolate a post as being concerned or fear is nothing more than an attempt to turn the tables on a supposed troll. You know that as well as most others.

You played better than we did. Pretty simple.

When did the act of conversing on a message board mean there is concern involved?
