Are you serious? Wow.

0 chance that happens. TCF is a cool stadium though.

I think you are correct. In this day and age (twitter, youtube) a kid from "northern" Minnesota would've been heard about by now....at this point very late into his senior year.

Yes. I'm not gonna lie...I like where the Bison sit I can go to road games within a fairly easy drive. The UNI rivalry is awesome. Man there would be a lot of hugging it out to become friends again to make it happen. Whoops didn't see your part on all 4 Dakota schools.

I just wish they were in the same conference...oh well.

A playoff meeting would be ridiculous. I for one believe this rivalry is/would be/will be better than Gopher - Sioux hockey just because everyone west of in non hockey spots has a stake in it as well. Puck heads may disagree with me...but I am a puck head.

Tough to argue with what NDSU has done I guess. the ultimate goal is home field and an NCAA title, worked like a charm. Good thing opposing teams fanbases don't set the schedule. With the Big Sky looming, neither team "needs" the game but it would be fun.

Actually they should start charging the students for tickets...those sections clear out for a 20 minute halftime.

You can't discount the 70s and 80s. That is when great traditions started that have carried through to today. I will say the same thing about UND hockey. Never take that history for granted.

FYI....Montana will be at the Dome one of these years, can't remember which. 2014? So hopefully they are laughing at themselves.

The good news is, I don't care what app state or Montana fans think. Hell Montana state just played MINOT STATE. I say bring on the Sioux. Home/away every year. The most recent und ndsu game don't mean sh*t to the coaches and players in the programs today.

Solid contribution to the discussion.

The same can be said of any of these new conferences: There isn't an ideal situation like there is for the current WCHA. Let's just say, the Big 10 goes to Detroit and assume UMN is in safe NCAA position. Would I as a Gopher fan want to travel to Detroit for the conference tournament, then possibly a Regional tournament, then possibly a Frozen Four somewhere which would all include fairly extensive travel plans and $$$. Same thing can be said about UND. What if it ends up in Denver? Are Sioux fans willing to travel to Denver, then a Regional and then quite possibly a Frozen Four? As fans only so much can be expected regarding travel, I don't care how die hard you are. Bottom line as we all know it: The future sucks.

I find it highly unlikely that the two conferences would want to "co-exist" on a weekend.

Anyone been to cal poly for a game? I have been. I've seen more intensity at Bismarck high football games.

DHG makes a big enough ass out of himself and the Bulldog hockey fan base without any pictures involved.

UMN also has to cover their ass with a few in state schools, which isn't a problem for UND.

How is the big sky shaking out? That's what you guys should be concerned about. I'm sure msu and Montana had decent classes like usual and it sounds as though NC had a good year if I read correctly. Regionally, NDSU, UNI and SDSU look to have done very well in the MV. All on paper of course. On a national level, that iowa transfer RB wil make an immediate impact and Sam Houston got a transfer from Boise....they were already a young team and I don't see anyone from their conference knocking them off. Throw the rankings out the door, it is all about how the kids fit in with their respective programs and players once they step foot on campus.

I think Larson is a dragon, by the way. Anyway Hambone....I agree.

Yes that makes sense. Has anyone heard from the family then? I guess that was my original point.

Did SFI talk to Arp when they sent the original tweet? I haven't seen a quote or story anywhere from the kid or family saying he chose UND but maybe I missed it. I think it's funny it should be up to kolpack. Him and izzo have been talking to the past few verbals as quickly as possible after their commitment broke, and in many times even the UND commits. Where we're the GF reporters to talk to Arp then? How about refraining from false accusations and enjoy the kids who have decided that your school is the best fit for them.

Coyle is a competitor like none other.

I think you guys are putting way too much into how Izzo thinks he can affect a recruit. And I am confident that the best reporter in GF (schlossman) would say the same thing and tell you izzo does a darn nice job. Good luck on Wednesday. I'm just hoping Izzo is in Beach right now.

So two tweets is a twitter battle? Lol! Izzo has said all along that horne's coach told him ndsu awhile back. 99% of bison fans knew he wasn't going to end up on campus. Mollberg made the best decision for him, no doubt. But the bison are just fine at RB and qb for quite awhile anyway. Mollberg is a great get for you guys no doubt about it.

I could care less. I have never pounded my chest anywhere. Go ahead and check it out.
