I seriously hope that all Bison fans don't share your same opinion. Wow!!! I don't think I heard about NDSU students standing in line outside the dome 7 hours prior to the St. Francis game!! We have not played for 9 years now. But I gaurantee if we did, things would get heated up again. Heck, if they announced a game in 2015, it would be talked about on message boards, family gatherings, what have you, for the next 3 years!!! Th rivalry will always be there. We just need the game to solidify it!!!

You are telling me that you and other Bison fans would rather play Wofford and James Madison instead of UND?!! Do you really think that?

The problem with that plan is "high quality" teams have bought out of coming to Fargo. So you end up playing teams like Morgan state and St Francis. What was the last OOC "high quality team" that came to Fargo for a regular season game?? How is that part of the plan working for you?

Do not tell me that NDSU did not benifit financially from UND games at the Fargodome in the past. Look at the top 10 most attended games at the Fargodome. Pretty sure that at least half are for the UND games.

Play the game. Do it every other year, in Fargo and Grand Forks. Both schools will benifit from it as they will have a scheduled non conference game every other year. Both schools will make money from hosting the game as it will be the biggest regular season game of the year. But more importantly it will benifit the fans of these two schools. The majority of fans on both sides want to see this game played and want to continue what was one of the longest college football rivalries in history!!

I just hope that they find the law unconstitutional. That way there is no chance that the people of UND can vote, and if in favor of it, destroy UND athletics as we know it.

Keep the name = eventually getting kicked out of the Big Sky. It's that simple folks!!

To sum up....The Big Sky is watching very closely how UND is affected now by the sactions that are imposed on them. If they feel that they are not a viable member, the can and WILL vote UND out of the Big Sky Conference. That is a fact. Its time to face reality. Under sanctions, we will most deffinitley feel the affects of it. The ability to schedule games will suffer, recruiting will suffer. In my opinion there is a better chance that we will be kicked ou of the BIG SKY with the name than there is we won't.

Just listened to Fullerton on KGFO. To sum up, he basically said that he expects North Dakota to be in the Big Sky starting this summer when we pay our initial dues and compete next year in all athletics. He said that the University will be able to compete with the sanctions and if they can survive then there will not be a problem. But he said that that happening was not very realistic. Once North Dakota does not appear to be an asset to the Big Sky, then they can at any time choose to vote them out. Also said that getting a majority is not that hard to do when all of the Presidents are together. Says they are very common. So while he said that they are not going to get kicked out now, the possibility is certainly very very real.

Fullerton's comments on the situation. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/228888/

I will always remember the old DECC. It was my first ever road hockey game. Great atmosphere!! The seats are right on top of the action!! I will always remember DHG and the rest of the students running around the concourse after UMD scored and then doing the same with my buddies one game and our Sioux flag when we scored!!! I remember tieing the game and running around the arena and being tripped by an old lady, and then less than a minute later we took the lead and we went straight towards the student section to run the flag around again. Security busted that up. Don't think they allowed flags after that year!! I am looking forward to seeing Amsoil up close. Hope to see tons of Sioux fans there!! I wouldn't expect anything less!!

We have usually on to Grandma's sports bar after. seems to be the place to go since it is pretty big! Old Chicago is also a good place. Just trying to figure out what to do with one of the guys that I am going with. Anything good going on this weekend anywhere...live bands or anything?

Duluth is my favorite road trip in the WCHA. Going out before and after the games in Canal Park is great!! I love how the arena is right downtown. The people are always great there. We usually get along becausw we have one thing in common...our hatred towards the Gophers!!! I am heading there this year again for probably my 6th roadtrip there in the last 10-12 years. Gonna be great!! should be some great games!!

D - A - K - O - T - A Dakota, Dakota, Go Sioux!!!!!!!

I hope the students realize what is happening. They have already been moved down a section. If they don't start showing up, they are going to sloly but surely move to the ends of the Alerus like where they put the NDSU students in the Fargodome!!

Besides the team we are playing this year, the home opener will be great. New season, the weather will be great, starting a new conference, and everyone will want to check out the new turf!! I think that UND and the Alerus should not publish any pictures of the new turf before the game. It will add that extra hype to the game!! Although I have complained about the SOM game repeatedly, I will diffinitely be there!!

Everybody calm down!! Seriously!! There is a lot of time before the FCS contract expires. A lot can happen in a week let alone 18 months. Step away from the ledge, take a deep breath. It's gonna be OK.

Would let everyone in the country know who the REAL college basketball team in North Dakota is!!

We have traditionally played well in Duluth. I think we have 1 loss in Duluth in the last 10 years. Hopefully that trend can continue. Headed there myself with some friends. Excited to check out Amsoil and gettting 4 points!! Always alot of Sioux fans that make the trip. I expect the same in 2 weeks!! "Engelstad East" will be rockin!!!

The student sections got shifted down a section and the season ticket holders in 212 got moved to 215. The rest of 215 is up for grabs for anyone!

This will help you get ready for the Badger games this weekend!! http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/

Since it "worked" for Boise state, how come other FCS schools aren't making the jump? Montana, Appalacian State, Northern Iowa...if it was so easy and such a great idea, those schools would have made the jump years ago. I think its ok to think big for this program, but looking at the FBS is not the right option. As a fan, do you want to see your team compete for a National Championship, or not. UND can do that in the FCS. No chance in FBS. Boise State went FBS and beat some very good teams. Even went undefeated a couple of those years. But guess what, didn't win a Championship. Sure they have a Fiesta Bowl championship, but I would much rather win the National Championship than any FBS bowl championship. Anyday.

UND could beat Alabama or Oklahoma. Is this what you are saying? Do you believe this? Really? Pretty sure 99.9% of people anywhere would agree with me. Maybe we are all short sighted!!

Top College Hockey Towns, top 4 would be: 1.Boston 2.Grand Forks 3.Madison 4.Orono

UND would never make any playoff. The best the FBS can hope for in regards to a plyoff is an 8 team playoff. No chance UND will make that. Absolutely none.
