UND-FB-FAN

You’re just being foolish now. Being obsessed with the ag college of Fargo is one thing, but pure ignorance is another. You’re overcompensating by heavily riding on the latter. It’s just not based in reality. But yes, also beat out SDSU …

Yeah, hence “Continue to grow the following for UND football. Only so many supporters. Continue to recruit North Dakota and the Midwest and win recruiting battles.

Continue to grow the following for UND football. Only so many supporters. Continue to recruit North Dakota and the Midwest and win recruiting battles. Ag college failure puts more pressure on them to rely on taxpayer dollars, which they may be set up to get by with for now, but not indefinitely- their arrogance will eventually blow up in their face when students and taxpayers (and eventually the conference) have had enough. Who knows, maybe we’ll all be friends and follow this move with others to FBS as others have said. And it will all be fine … Time will tell, but ignoring NDSU as you suggest isn’t an option … there’s major interplay here in the small state of North Dakota.

NDSU obligated to INCREASE football spending Everyone is drinking the Fargo ag college Kool-aid. Of course, I hope they fail. The proposed funding model and the required funding increase to ag college football (per their contract with the MW) along with the inevitable pressure it will put on state taxpayers (who don’t care about ag college) is the most b*llshit part of this. Biggest arrogant f*cks around come out of Fargo ag football … But UND needs to make it hard on them and focus on themselves; keep winning on and off the field, and Schmidt’s group most certainly will …

Future Pro Will be a great leader for the 2027 class. He’s signing and arriving spring semester 2027; will get here early just like Aidan Wunderlich and others did.

and so it begins … very very nice start to the ‘27 class

Excellent work! 2026 is best class in UND football history and 2027 will be better yet …

No question on that. Gonna win it this year… and more.

1 of those 2 may actually listen.

I can appreciate the gesture and morals, but it won’t win or accomplish anything for UND. No one is going to write a check because UND is so unbelievably morally sound, but athletics and winning (whether you like it or not) does yield significant support in this day and age. Revenue via Hockey only (the Ralph) won’t work by itself. THE University of North Dakota has too many alumni who want UND athletics to be more than just hockey when it comes to athletics. Aggressive fundraising is necessary, and it has been lacking; it doesn’t have to be completely immoral.

UND athletics needs to continue to push the envelope. There are certainly ways to be creative (and some of it is just hard work and effort along with vision, to be frank) and improve fundraising, specifically for football.

Andy Armacost needs to make a statement, not Bill Chaves. Sorry Bill, but UND currently has only one true leader.

I agree with this guy, he gets it

UND football on TV around the state would be significantly better than Midco … in my opinion. Let rural North Dakota and western North Dakota witness the rise of UND football …

Even if they win the MW, their season will be over before UND’s, for at least the next couple seasons. UND needs to take advantage.

Time will tell with how willing they are to schedule the nearest division I university in football (FCS vs FBS, should be a cake walk for NDSU, right?) … I think anyone being honest with themselves already knows the answer to that question. And yet here you are claiming delusions while denying this past scheduling strategy …

That’s not what I wrote, but way to paraphrase to uphold your apparent favoritism.

Yeah, okay - A simple history lesson confirms the statement I made, which you quoted. Pretty well known NDSU has done everything possible in the past to avoid playing UND in football. This is another move to assist in that. Personal criticism is apparently all that you can contribute.

Well, well… Call me suspicious.

You haven’t confirmed anything. Inquiry / suspicion is not lying...nice try. But I certainly won’t continue to argue with an ag college diehard … more closed-minded than a rock (similar IQ, as well).

Don’t assume it’s with honesty. The fundraising propaganda is just what they want to you believe. They’re gone, sure, but $17 million is a significant figure given recent events and history. Me jealous? It goes both ways. Are you aware of the jealously in Fargo? Jealousy is signifiant in Fargo, hence that fan base being one of the most insufferable in all of sports. Ultimately, UND needs to focus on UND. Strategy is key here.

luck ain’t infinite hope you enjoy the downfall

“Allegedly” Misappropriation is at play. Time will tell if it is appropriately investigated.

You sound like an elementary bully who stole the class favorite’s lunch money, and then when questioned tells the teacher, “prove it”. The truth will come out. Give it time. The burden of proof won’t fall entirely on my shoulders. Time will tell. Either way, hope ag college of Fargo outbid themselves this time and falls on their face. Good riddance. UND should and will respond in a superior fashion.
