We got what we wanted this weekend, a conference road split. Time to move on to Union on Thanksgiving weekend.

If the Herald is abolished and I am given the option of subscribing to the Fargo Forum, I will tell them to stick their offer......well, you know the rest. And don't be surprised if UND sports coverage vanishes altogether.

Well, I posted Bubba's e-mail address and was blasted for being "inappropriate". So I guess the answer to your question for most people on here is no.

Hey, you stole my line!

I have given up on fast food entirely. Too much fat and whatever else.

Just getting a point out of this series against the Presumptive 2018 NCAA Champions will be a miracle. Seriously though, I think a split is very possible.

That is true. There are extremes on both ends of the spectrum.

I don't believe I called you "dumb" or a "crackpot". I was simply pointing out (pardon the pun) that a simplistic philosophy like libertarianism is difficult to apply to a complex world.

That right there is the biggest flaw in libertarianism. Nothing in our modern, complex world is "simple". If you want "simple", you need to reset society back to what it was in 1789 and that ain't happening. #pipedreams

I suppose we could trim garbage pickup from every week to every other week? That would save some serious cash. But I can bet you a lot of the no voters today will be the first to b!tch and moan about it. Libertarianism is a fantasy-land where everything is magically solved by a non-existent "free market" without the "theft" of taxation. If you want stuff, you have to pay for it. If the Feds and State are paying less, then we have to pay more locally. #mathisbeautiful

Then why did it take so long to raise enough money to renovate the BSA? And outside of FB, none of their other programs have accomplished much in recent years.

Anything less than a sweep this weekend is unacceptable! Copyright 2017 Goon. ALL Rights Reserved!

No one is talking about winning a Natty every year. People are talking about changing the narrative in the region so that we aren't "that other school in North Dakota". And I cut a check to UND every year, so I will "expect, wish or demand" excellence from our teams. Got that? #iwillnotputupandshutup PS: I am not arguing for Regime Change. If next year is like this year without the injuries, then I might change my mind.

If you think roads and bridges are a want and not a need.....you just might be a libertarian.

You mentioned different cities and populations, that is what I was referring to. That is something we cannot fix, but a lot of people fixate on that and get discouraged. We cannot do that. I agree with the bolded text above.

Why is there this perception that NDSU is swimming in money, while UND is broke? That simply isn't true. If it was, the BSA renovation would not have taken as long as it did. NDSU is not some private school with deep-pocketed donors who can fund whatever they want out of their pocket. They are a state institution like us and they face the same financial challenges as us. The fact that we have Men's Hockey and REA should give us an slight edge in finances.

Based on this, we should just fold up the program now and forget about it.

Loyalty is sometimes not a good thing.

Think big and you will achieve great things. Think small and you will achieve nothing. It all has to start somewhere.

Yeah, get that diversion built before you even think about building an FBS stadium.

Good question. I think Darcy's may be older, but I cannot confirm that.

How's that application to the Big 12 coming?

Hey, if this garbage happens again next year, I'll be in your camp. I just don't think it will.

This is true. However, there was inclement weather moving in well before kickoff. That may have cut back on attendance.
