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. Montana 9 219,753 24,417 2. Appalachian St. 7 168,029 24,004 3. Yale 5 106,226 21,245 4. Delaware 6 124,497 20,750 5. Old Dominion 7 138,474 19,782 6. N.C. A&T 4 68,874 17,219 7. South Carolina St. 5 85,134 17,027 8. Ga. Southern 5 83,641 16,728 9. North Dakota St. 5 82,577 16,515--AVG

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

Ive had season tickets for the last 8-9 years and I just cant recall the scenario you are descibing and I stay to the final whistle. Augustana? I know they havent played them in a very long time.

1.My name is Pat. 2. My last name isnt Simmers. 3. We did play on the same team . 4. Dont care for the job Dorn has done and she needs to go. I was taken aback when you called me Pat. I was thinking you really must watch BV alot to figure out what my name is as many over there do know me. LOL When did Dorn slam GT?

Weather was brutal. -17 not including wind chill. Cant imagine what the game would have been like as it was difficult tailgating in a tent we rented. As much as I do love outdoor football there is a time where it isnt fair to the teams or fans to play in stuff like that. As far as a sterile enviroment that has more to do with the fans than the venue. It took me awhile to get used to indoor games. But whens its extremely hot or cold outside I can appreciate a climate controlled venue.

Wow the butt hurt is strong in this one Whose the guy with the sign? Never seen that one before. The reason I ask is most of your list makes no sense. .

Thing is there really isnt a big bandwagon to start hockey.

I know there are some that wouldnt support the move but I havent heard anything about pulling $$$$$$ if they went down that road.

Yes but they brought their own ice making equipment.

Never put in the compressors and a few other things from what I have been told.

Its the same 2-3idiots who are always harping about FBS. Lake and his towel boy longhorn and another of lakes aliases. And theirs only 1-2 idiots that want hockey. Not close to the numbers you want to portray.

Battle Lake

Some of us tried to interject reason. But the MW fan club was all mouth and no ears. Lakes was the main sock puppet. Of course. He hasnt been pimping him very hard as of late.

The second paragraph is pretty realistic. The first paragraph is pretty much off the rails. If what you say is true why did the D suck so bad under Breske? Klieman was the coach of the D. Bohl was the CEO of the team. This isnt really new information.

And you act like Bubba is the second coming. Lets see. Which coach was more successful in their previous role of assistant coach? Regardless it has yet to be seen how they will perform as a head coach.
