Can't use that stuff...Green and white are not available colors

Given the choice of the Alerus Center logos or no logo at all, 99.9 percent of most humans would prefer non at all Now what about the Big Sky logos? I wonder if those are going on the filed anywhere?

This has probably been said on this post and many other discussions about this topic before.....UND was not going to play NDSU when they had a leg up on them in the number of scholarship players they had compared to UND. Not an even playing field. Also, D1 wins did not count as wins in regards to playoff implications, so it actually hurt UND to play NDSU or any D1 team. That is why UND chose not to play them. Now that UND is full D1 and the playing field is leveled, NDSU is the one that does not want to play UND. So while UND may have been the guilty party in ending the rivalry, NDSU is guilty of officially killing it for good.

http://afboe.at/uplo...s-2011-2012.pdf On page FR-16 Under Section 2,h,3 "If a commercial entity has purchased naming rights to the facility, that name is allowed to be painted on the field; however, the commercial logo is not allowed to be in the field of play." I would assume that since the "Alerus Center" is a commercial logo, it is not allowed to be on the field. Not sure why this was overlooked when the initial design came out.

In this clip it said that they were getting ready to put the rubber pellets down on the field. If that was the case, wouldn't make that very unlikely that they would be painting anything on the turf (say Alerus logo's)? Not to beat a dead horse....but it seems like there is a chance that there won't be any logos at midfield.

Anyone got any recent pics?

And there is your "Dagger"!!! Well said!!

Faison wants a home and home with NDSU every other year. Just 2 games initially...hopefully play every other year on a regular basis. So NDSU can still keep their scheduling formula the majority of the time. Only "wrinkle" in it would be that they would come to Grans Forks every 4 years. That is really not giving up to much. Expecially against a team that is your biggest rival that you have played over 100 games with. Its not sacrificing that much. Heck, you are rewarding the Bison fans with an away game that is a very easy to travel to.

Riping on UND for playing Robert Morris.....hmmmm....might want to rethink that statement!!

NDSU can say they are doing what is best for their football team and their athletic department, which may be the right thing to do. But whether it is fair or not, as long as UND keeps wanting to play the game and makes offers to play NDSU and Gene Taylor keeps rejecting them.....It will be perceived that NDSU does not want to play UND because they do not want to lose to them. Maybe NDSU has everything to lose in this game and UND has everything to gain in playing this game....but that is what it looks like. Probably not fair to NDSU because I doubt NDSU is scared of any team after winning it all last year. But look at it how a unbiased person would perceive the whole situation. They may wonder why a school that has consistently said they are better than another school over the years and especially the last decade would not want to schedule a game and prove it!! NDSU officials/fans/coaches/etc can give all the reasons why scheduling a game with UND is not ?in their best interest." But as long as they keep rejecting any offers from UND to play the game, they will be viewed by many as cowards!!

Minnesota doesn't want to schedule NDSU because they don't want to lose to a team they feel they should beat. It would hurt them big time in recruiting. This is the same reason NDSU does not want to schedule UND!!! I don't blame GT. I wouldn't want to schedule a team that I was afraid to lose to either!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/243144/ "The team also plans to alternate black and white pants with the black jerseys." I guess I have to wait and see how that would look, but green helmet, black jersey, and white pants....seems like a bad look if you ask me. Thoughts?

Well that didn't take long!!! I like em!! Anyone else notice the green stripes on the pants too? I really like the green numbers with the white outline. They look sharp!!!

Alright....now the question...will we see a picture of the jersey before they wear them on the field??!!

Playoffs, while it should be a goal every year, is going to be a lofty one this year. With the unfortunate non-D1 game to start off the season, it leaves us only 10 games to get the 7 that is probably needed to get into the playoffs. In those 10 games, 1 is an FBS team and 5 of hem arepicked to finish in the top 5 of the Big Sky. So we are going to need to get some big wins against some good teams this year. If we play good and win some of those games early, it can be done, but it will be a challenge. the good thing is I tink this team is up for the challenge and will definetely be competitive in every game we play this year. Win the games you are supposed to win, and win a couple that you aren't and we will be right there at the nd of the year.

Only thing I have seen so far is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv7Nyfne3VI

What is the timeine? I would assume that 2013 would be when they join the Big Sky for all other sports.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/242980/group/Sports/ So what do you guys thing? Pull Golladay's redshirt? I think we are pretty deep at WR so Muss may hold off on doing that. But can you imagine having Golladay, Hardin, and McGill all lined up with a gunslinger in Hanson throwing to them? Wow!!!

Looking at the ticket availability on ticketmaster, there are still MANY tickets available for the games....even the Montana game. I know that UND football sells a lot of walk up tickets...but with the excitement of this season I would think that we would have at least the Montana game cloe to sold out. Maybe I am being overly optimistic....but there are deffinitely more seats available than I thought there would be after 1 day.

Section 215...The official section of Siouxsports.com!!! Should be a lot of die hards!! No sitting on 3rd down for this section!!!!

I'll be in 215 for every game!! Wow, looks like that is a popular section amongst people here!!!

Oh right!!! that is a good one too!! OK, I will call it 1A and 1B in terms of pep band song ranks!!!

Section 215 is the section that opened up from moving the students down a section. these seats are $90. A little more, but for seats on the 35 yard line, not to bad. I would say for 5 bucks more per game its worth it!!

Have a beer before the game, have one at halftime, watch the 3rd quarter from the endzone UND is scoring at (beer in hand) and go back to your free seat for the 4th. Problem solved

Best Pep Band song in the history of the world!!!!
