UND-FB-FAN

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.

The jealousy in Fargo is real … UND is somehow getting screwed here with misappropriation… and folks need to be held accountable

$17 million … that’s not honest money. And anyone supporting UND should demand for the truth and ensure we aren’t seeing misappropriation. I suspect this do to the redundant political narrative of UND is for hockey and NDSU is for football. ND is a football state so that is not equal footing. Rick Berg (former politician) is entering as interim president for NDSU … In other news, hope NDSU fails. Sure, it’s time they go up based on success, but hard to justify it financially. I hope they fail. Fiscal irresponsibility and misappropriation is a likely issue, and UND needs to connect with South Dakota State, South Dakota, Montana, Montana State, etc. and closely collaborate on the future. UND needs to control what they can control and can’t focus on NDSU to fail. Learn from 20 years ago.

Critical. There is fraud.

They will remain as cocky a**holes …

Head-to-head football games will once again be gone (just as the sore loser corrupt ag college likes it), unfortunately, but the rivalry will certainly continue off the field … until the on the field resumes. The schools are only 75 miles apart, and despite what some people may think, North Dakotans know that North Dakota is a football state.

You’ve now stooped to the level of advocating for girls wrestling over hockey and horseback riding? WOW… just WOW. I’m now crying … cause I’m laughing so hard. Ag college of Fargo is as much a joke as it is corrupt and fiscally irresponsible

UND currently lacks an invitation to move to FBS and isn't likely to invest $10 million for such a transition, as far as I know. While it's not wise for UND to move up to FBS immediately, as you say, the school should closely observe the actions of regional rivals like Montana, Montana State, South Dakota State, and South Dakota regarding their football programs. FYI, prior FCS national championships don’t dictate a program's path; instead, factors like geography, politics, and funding play bigger roles. Being optimistic about NDSU's situation simply because of its location (growing Fargo) or athletic success is not solid as the financial implications of moving up are significant. I agree that understanding the evolving landscape of college football is essential for UND to avoid becoming stagnant. Don’t repeat prior mistakes. NDSU's decisions will impact UND, and it’s beneficial for UND to strategically plan its move within the next few years to better the outcome.

Stop trolling. No one is crying. You’re on here provoking, Mr. Bison.

Pretty obvious, but explaining to you is a waste of time.

Correct, but don’t let them compel you into believing the state of ND and SBoHE / NDUS are exempt from this. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Glass half full perspective for UND for sure, but as history has taught us, UND leadership can’t just sit on the sideline and hope things just fall into their lap. UND will fail if that happens. Strategic action planning and eventually action from UND is necessary, also, to successfully rebuttal this.

Not a coincidence

Agree. Advanced planning and alliances are now more critical than ever. This is far more important now to UND than any of those schools …
