Dont care what they change the name to. You will always be the Sioux to me. The NCAA can kiss my azz.

I have a buddy who lives in Long Beach. he sent me a T and a sweatshirt 3 years ago and all it says on the front is BEACH.

I find some of your scenarios interesting. Some scenarios are very short sighted due to to your dislike of NDSU which is understandable. I certainly wouldnt consider the BSC our only route to FBS at this juncture .

As I said--just like here. But if you think the BSC could move up as a whole the MVFC certainly could as well.

What does your reply have to do with the point at hand? Fact is if you are winning you usually get more press. Its the nature of the beast. Geez you guys are angry.

Yeah I dont know any that expect an invite. All there has been is talk of what might happen with realignments and who could go where etc. Just like they are doing here. No big deal as its all speculation anyway regardless who your team is.

I dont tweet so the first I heard about it was here. Dont know why you are making a big deal about BV not making it a big deal? I found it interesting but its not like its a big surprise is iT?

I was shocked to find out about that. Wow who woulda thought.

lakes small following isnt much to talk about. There view points arent shared by many. But they do create a !@#$ show.

If this weren't a und site I would swear that lakes bison posted this.

Some professional moves aren't about money. It's the big 10 experience which will be priceless.it almost sounds as though iowa created the job for him. He's in a great spot right now. Make no mistake about that.

Und is in the bcs because of the bakken? Is that correct?

Mills was a hell of an athlete and a role model. I remember watching him when I was a kid.

Ignore what at my peril? The Bakken? What the hell does that have to do with the subject at hand? Wasnt around when NDSU was trying to get in to the BSC. Dont care. Glad we are where we are. From your post I take it you think people laugh at you often. May be theres a reason?

Nobody knows whats going to happen when everything shakes out. Some steadfast rules might not be in play if they are looking for some team to move up. FYI when you talk of BV and having the ear of the Mac etc there is only 2 people I repeat TWO on BV who are openly yammering constantly about going FBS. As for the rest of your post I found it very amusing. Especially the Bresciani mention.

Large group was transplanted to Faribault MN. Govt paid the city on some deal. The people dont speak our language. They have no marketable skills. They are on the govt dole. Drive downtown during the day. You see them standing in door ways talking on there cell phones etc. Pretty expensive warm and fuzzy when the govt wont take of its veterans. The US cant save the world.

Or the cities are approached by the govt or vica versa and are given money to being them to the community. They are then given sec 8 or 9 housing which means its paid by the govt and they are all given public assistance , food stamps etc.

Oh yes with out a doubt. But the ones we do have over there are pretty prolific. I do want to say this. We are all fans of college football. The only difference between you and me is we root for different teams. A great rivalry can be great fun. What ruins it is the extreme fanatics that dont understand that at the heart of it, its all about the the game. In the end its just a game.

I understand that and we do it as well. There are UND fans on BV also. Hey we are rivals ,we poke fun at each other. Its what rivals do. If facts are brought forward its not a pissing match. Its a discussion. IMO. Now if Poo starts getting slinged then its a pissing match. And YES I want the game to be played again--just for the record. UNI has always been a clash-- hate game. They were dirty and trashy when I played and that hasnt changed. SDSU was just another game until they manufactured a rivalry after you stopped playing us. Some fans embraced it. Me its just another game and I REALLY have a hard time getting excited for it to the point I dont unless something is riding on the outcome.

Many have moved on. Many havent. As for myself I will always consider you guys our rival and that will never change. Even though we dont play in FB our two schools fans bases will continually measure itself against the other. I saw it at Iowa VS Iowa State when they didnt play. No different here.

Why do you call them lean years? You provide some factual information and then I will agree with you. As I said previously. I reconnected with NDSU 8-9 years ago and have been a season ticket holder since then. The scenarios that some were saying about half full stadiums is incorrect as I was there and the figures provided bears that out.

I would have bet the house that some one was going to post that. You win the kewpie doll. LOL If it does make you feel any better I think in 2001 they averaged 11+.

I went back and checked previous years as well to check the Bandwagon Effect 2007---18+ this is when we were in limbo during reclassification 2008---18+ 2009---16,500 2010---16,944 2011---18+ 2012---18,500 2013---18,600 So do you think a 2,000 swing is really that big? Not a lot of band wagon fans in there IMO.

Here are some facts. 16,512 avg attendace. Doesnt seem to be that empty now does it. 9th in the FCS! http://web1.ncaa.org....dance/2009.pdf 2009 NCAA DIVISION I FCS ATTENDANCE TEAM LEADERS Rank School G Atten dance Average 1.

Only time will tell. But its not something I am going to worry about. If it happens it happens.
