You seem to fit that bill as well. Beside your med and lawyer school you really dont have anything to trump NDSU academically. As far as your aviation school your students dont leave school and jump to flying for the big airlines. You can go get your private pilots license almost anywhere and then move up the ranks with flying time and qualifications. I would do more research on what NDSU has to offer so you at least sound like you actually received your degree from the school you are defending.

Boy that sure sounds familiar doesnt it.

You cant be this dumb?

It took him how long to decide to take the deal? During that span the business climate changed. The deal has. changed. If you dont take the deal look no further than your AD. He screwed up before as well.

:silly:

You can call all the names you want and it wont make any difference in how this plays out. If you want to renew the rivalry---you take the deal. If you dont want to renew the rivalry---dont take the deal. Thats what it comes down to at this juncture.

So you think exchanging ideas about the current situation is trolling? Ok you go with that.

:silly:

Weber has nothing to do with this scenario. If you want to renew the rivalry take the deal. You can do all the mental masturbation you want but thats not on the table. Take the deal to get the game started.

So what would UND pay NDSU to come to GF? NDSU grosses approx 450,000.00 on tickets sales alone. UND approx 190,000.00. So why would NDSU want to come to GF? Now they could work out a deal like Iowa and Iowa State did when the there was a huge seating disparity between the two. Other than that my suggestion is for BF to take the deal. Two games in Fargo to start and get the ball rolling. Once the games are started it would be very difficult to stop playing after that. BF screwed the pooch earlier. Tell him not to make the same mistake if you really want the rivalry to be renewed.

What would your expenses be to travel to Fargo? Now what was Ferris States expenses? Big difference. HENCE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GUARANTEE.

Good business people re-evaluate strategies when the business climate changes. Nothing was agreed upon and signed.

Check my posting history. 124 posts in 4 years.. Your definition of regular must be different than mine. I have never considered SDSU to be our main rival. Never have and never will. SDSU was just another game when I was in school. Even now I cant get excited about that game. Yes there are some fans who down play everything you do. Just as some of your fans do the same for NDSU. That hasnt changed since I was first envolved in the rivalry and dont expect it to change in the future.

Yes you folk did real well this year in the head to head meetings. Congrats. All that talk is rivalry talk dont you think? But other than that NDSU has dome pretty good on the national stage this year. 3 time defending National Champion in football. Made the big dance in MBB and made it past round 1 with a victory over Oklahoma. Wrestling and track have also been on the national stage. I could go on but you get the idea. So with those thoughts in mind can you tell me what what UND did this past year. Not a troll question as I truely dont know.

My goodness you get upset easy. I will have to admit this is the first time Ive ever been accused of trolling this site. I find that funny as I thought some of us were having a conversation and exchanging view points? As far as your "supposed non rival" comment where did you pull that one out of? NDSU and UND have and will always be rivals. Obsessed with UND? Really? Check my posting history. It says differently. Now if you would like to add to the discussion with some pertinent facts please do so. Even a well thought out opinion would be welcome.

Yeah you have it bad.

I believe we werent playoff eligible at the time. So why would he have pulled the plug? But the question is pretty irrelevant because you had already pulled the plug.

Without a doubt? No cant say that. But considering how long ago it was and all of the open dates that were available during that time the game could have been scheduled years in advance. You wouldnt have the added animosity etc. Plus if BF would have taken the deal GT offered but not guaranteeing a game every year the rivalry would have already been renewed. Me thinks you need to look in your own back yard to understand why this game isnt being played. If it makes you feel better to point at GT be my guest. It wont get you any closer to playing the game. Give BF a call and tell him to take the deal now offered. It gets your foot in the door and will renew interest in the game. If GT doesnt schedule the game after that then you can start pointing the finger.

I was at Iowa when they didnt play as well. But they did play ISU is other sports.

Because you hosed NDSU on the FB schedule. Not too hard to figure out. Plus your AD keeps trying to negotiate this in the media which doesnt play well. But all this stuff is nothing but noise. If you want the game take the deal.

Provide the link to that quote.

YOU need to take the deal to get past the black hole that you created. Dont let your egos get in the way.

Not making excuses at all. But if it makes you feel better you go with that.

No NDSU has not said that. They have said the first two games will be held in Fargo. Its a shame that you had to cancel the rivalry. I would love to see the game played. Because it should be about "the game". IMO But its now its a big business. Business relationships must be developed AGAIN to make this happen. The terms have been given to restart the game. If Brian REALLY wants this game he will accept the terms and take the money. Dont let your egos get in the way. If you really want the game that is.

Its because you destroyed a business relationship. Take the deal to get your foot in the door. You have bridges you need to build.
