Growing up in ND and not attending either University could create a mindset to follow both teams, yes.
I’d agree with that. I grew up in GF but attended NDSU. I never changed my shade of green though. Where you grew up really does effect your alliances as an adult. That being said someone who never went to either school or grew up in either city may have an identity crisis. Atleast when it comes to which school they root for. I misread your original post. My bad.

You fail to mention the cost of this new stadium. What do you suppose a 25000 seat stadium would cost to build these days? For reference to help you out, The HPC cost 20 million, the renovation of the Dakota Dome as USD is estimated at 26 million, and the renovation at Dana J Dykhouse Stadium at SDSU cost 65 million. So 2 questions for you:
1. How much do you estimate it will cost to build a brand new 25,000 seat stadium?
2. How will UND pay for it?
Unless a donor steps up in a huge way this won't happen. Volley has some validity to the "build it and they will come" theory. It worked for hockey. In my eyes I don't see in the nicest of facilities and the greatest of UND football teams ever reaching more than 17,000 per game. In my opinion we took a step down when UND football moved from Memorial to the Alerus. I also don't ever see a UND FBS team getting ever being ranked in the top 20 (FBS). It's too tough to compete with those budgets of the power 5 conferences. Once in a blue moon I could see UND being like the Central Michigan, Central Florida or Northern Illinois from the past several years. I think NDSU has had some fleeting thoughts of going FBS. I really think that it would ruin their fanbase. Right now they're winning big and people love winners. A smaller percentage of their fanbase believes they can beat the likes of Alabama. That small percentage is the same people that would bail out of following the Bison and jump on the bandwagon of a UND team thats winning at the FCS level. I'd love it if NDSU made the jump, but not in any shape of form would I be optimistic if UND made the jump.

Not going to college is my guess...
Lack of college attendance creates a sports mind to follow multiple teams? I'm intrigued on your research data to come up with this hypothesis. Or is this already scientific law?

42-6 at half. Our kicker gets out of his funk. 59-16 final. Leach nails 3 field goals from over 35 yards out. Misses another from 52. Offense will look fairly good. D backs will get killed but improve. I have a feeling our special teams besides our field goal unit will look like a bad high school team.

“ I want to talk about our opponent.....they are bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced and on paper they are just better! And they know it too. I want to tell you something they don’t know ....they don’t know your heart. We do! We’ve seen it ....you’ve shown exactly who you are in here (heart). When you take that field .......you have to lay that heart on the line men. From the souls of your feet , with every ounce of blood that you got in your body.....lay it on the line until the final whistle blows ! And if you do that ....you cannot lose. We may be behind on the scoreboard at the end of the game but if you play like that.....we cannot be defeat.”

UNI can go 2-9 and somehow make the playoffs and stay ranked in the polls. I still love how we beat them in 2006 as a DII team.
That was probably my favorite non NDSU regular season wins of all time.

Northern Arizona killed UTEP 30-10
South Dakota pissed away a win against K state. Gave up 15 4th quarter points and missed a field goal with no time remaining to tie the game. Lost 24-27.

I understand it was Deion’s first game back but it seemed to me he didn’t seem very confident with his cuts and movement.
Definitely off tonight. Hopefully just cobwebs.

Gotta tell ya, NDSU isn’t exactly a cure for arrogance.
Funny. The thing about the shitheads is that they win. Arrogance to a certain extent can be earned. Not sure how arrogant the current coaching staff is? The fan base yes, coaches aren’t that bad. In my opinion.

Just now, forksandspoons said:
Do we tell our kickers to kick it short or can we simply not develop them to kick it into the end zone?
I think that’s more of a god given talent than coaching a guy to boot it thru the end zone. Not the same as teaching a QB to sniff out coverages.

Why in the world can't we organize a decent kickoff coverage - it's not rocket science.

I was impressed with the guy when first hired. I thought it to be a tough sale to convince Bubba to give him a chance at such a young age. I think he fails to connect with the players for one. I also think (I don’t know) that he’s a little arrogant and is not learning from his mistakes. He’s not eating his humble pie. Just keeps banging his head against the wall. In my opinion.

You know, despite the score right now, I can't say that I'm all that encouraged by this game. There's a whole lot that needs to be corrected before facing better competition.
Agreed, special teams and d back play was awful tonight.

Once again proof that I'm living rent free in your head....LOL
Well every time I smell crap I think of crap. Every time geaux sees something stupid he thinks of you. If you’re living rent free in his head it’s in a certain part of his head that is not flattering. Albeit rent free so enjoy your 3 hots and a cot.

The highest ranking FBS team to fall to a Dakota team was NDSU over #11 Iowa in 2016. Michigan was ranked #5 when App State beat them in 2007. A Fighting Hawks win over #6 Washington should put us on the road to Frisco.
That would be fun to sneak up on a FBS team like that.

Between Richmond and Montana the last couple years, UND hasn't fared well against 3rd and 4th string QBs. Just an attempt at a little humor.
That is funny. I got you now.

And 3rd and 4th string QBs are UND's biggest weakness....
Not sure what you mean, but what I was saying is he’s tearing apart the 3rd and 4th string defensive units. Not sure that warrants being two on the depth chart. Like I said earlier I haven’t seen anything myself. I’m just going by what I’ve read. I’m not questioning Gundy’s info, I guess I’m just pointing out what I’ve read and heard about Grover.
-
I assume Grover does have a red shirt left. He graduated from high school spring of 2017. Everything I’ve read so far has him playing fourth string against the 2-4th stringers. Although he’s tearing those 2-4th stringers apart.
How do the Fighting Hawks pull off the college football upset of the year?

Big plays. Not give up any and create some for ourselves.
