It worked for George Costanza!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RerJWv5vwxc

Here is my take on the whole situation: With Gene Taylor at the helm at NDSU, there was no way that this game was ever going to be scheduled in the way that would be fair to UND. It's been over 10 years and the leadership, as well as fans, are still bent out of shape about UND not going D1 when NDSU did. Sure a vocal minority said they would not be successful. Obviously they have proved the nay sayers wrong in a big way. But for some reason, Gene Taylor is still offended about a decision made by UND 2 AD's ago. So it may be true that GT orchestrated the deal that would have 2 games played in Fargo for a low ball value with no return game to GF ans a final F you to UND on his way out the door. He may have never thought that Faison would have agreed to it. Who knows. So yes, on the surface a 2 for none deal with any school seems like a horrible deal. But look at it this way. NDSU did not want to schdule this game. But now since we accepted such a lopsided deal, they are committed. They are playind us. These games needed to be scheduled to get the ball rolling for future games. Especially for future game sin Grand Forks. So discussions are off on future games between NDSU and UND because we got two games in the books. Now do you think in a couple years when the conversation gets going again about future games that NDSU would be demanding that 2 more games be scheduled in Fargo? There is no way that UND would ever agree to that. In a way we have an advantage. After playing the game next year, people are going to demanding this game be sceduled more frequently. I doubt NDSU can get away with thinking that it should always be played in Fargo. So by agreeing to their demands for these first two games, it gives UND leverage in getting a game in GF.

Pretty pathetic that NDSU brass see UND as a schedule filler and nothing more. This game is so much more than that. Sad to see some don't see it that way.

Looking at the fan bases now and how they travel, any "neutral" site game would be a home game for the Bison.

Already looking forward to next year when Parise brings the Cup back!!!

Sept 19th 2015. Both schools need a game and they both have it open. Get the ball rolling with one game. The demand for more games will be so high after that, even if there is a blowout, that more games will have to be scheduled. And not just in Fargo. Just schedule the first one. It's time.

You realize you just said the phrase "You're smart enough" to a Bison fan right?!!

As far as High School state tournaments are concerned, these are the best locations for the respective sports (IMO) Hockey - GF Football - Fargo Class B boys and girls BB - Minot/Bismarck Class A boys and girls BB - GF/Fargo

Given the number of people in the FM area compared to GF/EGF, it really is a no brainer as far as revenue is concerned. That is EXCEPT the state hockey tournament. If you have one if the nicest arena in the country, and it is built for hockey, you should host all big tournaments in the state. Especially the biggest one hat occurs annually.

Every team will be getting new jerseys once a new name and logo are announced. That's a lot of revenue for a sports apparel company. So it only makes sense that when UND selects a new name and logo, when they order new jerseys would be the time when a new company would step in and make a deal with the University to produce them all.

Even worse was the 2012 Montana game. First game against one of the most storied program in our new conference, it's a close game in the fourth, we score a late TD in the last minute to take the lead and eventually win the game, and the Alerus is a quarter full.

Absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, completely false. No one will be able to tell you you can't wear clothing with the Sioux logo on it. We have a Constitution to protect rights like these. Whoever told you that could not be any further from the truth. This is America, not North Korea!! Ha!

New name should be in place hopefully by fall of 2015. It is going to happen, might as well embrace change and quit delaying the inevitable.

What about the University of North Dakota "Tomahawks". Sure it has a Native American connotation, but can anyone really get offended by a University using an inanimate object for a nickname?!!

Is this guy for real? Who comes on a site to rip on the fanbase and then bitch about being ripped on and complains about people on it. If you don't like it, stop posting here!! Stop responding to this guy. Maybe he will go away!!

Oh I don't know, maybe because they have done it about 50 times or more already!!

How bout a mustang horse flying a P51 Mustang!!! Ha!!

You must have used up the entire deck of race cards you have been throwing out here! Well, on your way out, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!!

Sacrificing 1 home game in 4 years to renew a rivalry that the overwhelming majority of fans of both schools want is something that UND is willing to do. And NDSU is not. We can argue till the cows come home to who ended the rivalry. But there is no doubt right now who is preventing this rivalry from renewing. And that is NDSU and Gene Taylor.

Zero chance that they will ever ban anyone wearing Sioux apparel. Fortunately we live in a country that protects personnel rights like the freedom of speech. You have the right to be opposed to what I am wearing, but I have the right. All good. No need to worry. Wear your Sioux stuff as much as you want!!

Given the history regarding UND and NDSU and their football programs, both schools deserve to host each other at their home stadium. Anyone who disagrees does not understand the history and the rivalry.

Why stop at native Americans!! https://m.facebook.com/KevinSorbo/posts/748177371888998

University of Findlay (OH) was the only college I could find with the name Oilers. Small private D2 school. So the name is still pretty original. The more I hear the name Oilers as our new name, the more I like it. That being said, I don't want a green and white Edmonton Oilers or Houston Oilers logo. We need our one identity.

How many Bison are in the eastern half of the state?!!
