We will we will FRACK YOU!!!

Dave, we ALL agree with you. It was wrong to take away the name. This issue should have never been brought up by the NCAA. We all wanted to keep the name. We all hold the pipe ceremony as being a sacred ceremony granting UND the use of the name. It should have been sufficient for the NCAA. Unfortunately the NCAA disagrees with that. They are the people that you need to be mad at. Not UND officials. Remember it was UND officials as well as state legislators who went to meet with the NCAA last August. They told them that the ceremony and the law ment nothing to them. Kelly/Faison/O'Keefe realized that there was no way to convince the NCAA to change their minds. Especially with the signed settlement agreement.

Green ones are by far the best. Always have been.

I think Cavalry is the one mentioned here that I like the best so far. It is unique and it related to our state's history.

And we have beaten UNI in the UNI-Dome...but you guys wouldn't know how to do that now would you!!

Well first things first. First we will be ranked higher than you, then we will win a FCS title. I realize that you Bison fans don't think we can do either. Patience my dear boy!!

So there is a "Notre Dame, IN" ? Always thought it was in South Bend?? Interenting. My bad!

Can't wait till UND is ranked higher than NDSU in the polls next year!! Oh man....that is going to be a great day!!

Kind of like when Bison fans were bragging about their loss to the Gophers in 2006!!

SO just a side note, all of our road games have the city where they are playing the game: Minneapolis MN, Houghton MI, etc. Who was the smart guy who put the Notre Dame games to be played in Notre Dame IN??? Wow!!

And win on the road!!!

If you told me that I know nothing about say...electrical engineering, I would not be insulted. That is a fact. I am not insulted by it. The people 82SiouxGuy listed have shown time and time again that they do not understand how college athletics work...or common law for that matter. By making statements like "The NCAA is going to change their mind and let UND keep the nickname" is proof of that. you say that he insulted some honarable people. Well you have continually verbally insulted Kelley, Faison, O'Keefe, and others repeatedly on this site. I guess that doesn't count though right??!!

Don't forget about our boys on the hardcourt!!!

Well I guess NDSU is happy with the situation: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/239313/group/Sports/

And the people named above have not done the same??

Wait....we weren't supposed to do that??

At least he has a nice avatar!!!

It all worked out for NDSU, so I think that now that it is 5 monhts after the end of the season and about 8 months since it happened, we all need to jsut let it go!!!

No way it even gets on the November ballot as a Constitutional amendment. Even if the measure would have been defeated by a small margin like 55-45, people are more hesitant to make a change to the constitution. But since it went down 67-33, what do supporters of putting it on the ballot for constitutional amendment think is going to happen? Are 18% or approximitely 30,000 people are just going to change their minds? Plus there are more people voting in the November elections. Is the percentage going to be drastically different? I think that the Constitutional amendment is dead if you ask me. If somehow it gets on the ballot, it will be defeated by at least the same margin.

Another reason that Bison fans are so irrate about the whole poll confusion issue is because there was even confusion in the first place. Bison fans feel, and maybe rightfully so, that people in the FCS world should know who they are because they have made a lot of noise since movin up. They had a few 10+ win seasons and have beaten a few FBS teams. UND fans know that and NDSU fans deffinitely know that. Why they are so mad about the mixup is they feel that even after all the accomplishments they have had at the FCS level, they still cannot get the recognition the feel they deserve and seperate themsleves from being confused with another North Dakota school. Especially from their rival who they despise.

Can't wait!! Now that this nickname thing is all figured out, lets get this think on the books!!

The rankings really didn't mean that much to UND last year because it really meant nothing. We were not playoff eligible so cracking the top 24 or even 16 didn't affect us at all. The point being made in all this is that NDSU was the #1/#2 ranked team in the country basically all year. UND was not playoff eligible. So why should Bison fans care where UND is ranked if it doesn't affect them at all? This year it affedts them, but last year it meant absolutely nothing. Only reason some Bison fans had an issue about it was because some have this neverending desire to discredit everything UND does. That is the issue.

I think that UND's record kept them in the polls more than anything. Pollsters don't really look at who you beat, but just if you win. So while they may have got some rogue votes that week after the Fresno game, they were not going to drop them in the polls after a win. I am taking UND's 2011 season with a grain of salt. Sure we had 8 wins, but really we had 5 wins. The 3 against the lower division teams were not good wins and should not be used to rate this team. But in the Division 1 games last year, they were 5-3. Is that a good enough record to be ranked in the top 25? I thinks so. Apparently you do not.

Was there a mixup in the polls the week we lost to an FBS team and NDSU was idol? More than likely. But that doesn't account for UND staying in the polls for the rest of the season. If there was a mixup, don't you think the voters would have "righted their wrong" and move those votes back to NDSU and UND would be out of the polls? Well, that didn't happen. Unless voters were confused for the entire season!! Not sure why Kolpack is obsessed with this. The Bison were never ranked lower than UND. SO who cares!! As long as NDSU was ranked higher, that wahts the big deal? Its just his obvious hatret toward UND being revealed and the fact that he doesn't want to give any credit to UND for anything.
