Then Bison fans should stop itching to have UND jump to the MVFC/Summit League if there is an opening, because then they would have to travel to Grand Forks at least once every other year whether they like it or not.

So why didn't we just have all other games in Fargo too? MBB, WBB, BB.....you name it, it will happen in Fargo only. Honestly, bowing down to the Ag College just makes us weaker and more impotent. Faison should have told them to take the deal and stick it.

Well, that is appreciated. Too bad more of the NDSU faithful can't do the same.

Just remember that the Bison faithful will never, ever "tip their hat" to UND for anything, no matter what it is. That is why I am not going to lavish accolades on them. Just my opinion.

I seem to remember both Hammer and Schultz doing UND hockey (home and away) during the 1980's on what was then KTHI Channel 11. I think Schultz did it in the early 1980's, then he moved onto WDAY. Then Hammer was doing UND games during the mid to late 1980's (I think he went to Detroit to cover the Hrkac Circus Frozen Four in 1987).

I for one was not happy Faison accepted that offer. Either it's a home and home or we just wait until we meet in the playoffs. That would have been my hard line position on the subject.

I don't know if they print them anymore.

In a couple of years, we'll have ourselves a championship contending team in Grand Forks. And I am not talking about just Big Sky championships either.

The law of averages will do its work in time.

The Big 12 is a shell of its former self anyway. But I seriously doubt they would accept a school from North Dakota.

SUCK PACK SUCK!

If they do move up, they won't be an annual fixture in the FBS College Football Playoff, no matter what their delusional fan base thinks. They'll be in a low-level conference (think Sun Belt, MAAC) and their reward for winning the conference would be a lower-level bowl game in December on a weekday on ESPN that very few people care about. If they are smart, they'll stick with FCS.

But when the Packers beat a bad team they are supposed to beat, the media drools and slobbers over them like they are a lock to make the Super Bowl.

Chalk this up to a post finals week/pre holiday hangover. We'll be just fine once conference play starts.

If the trolls don't shut up, that is what will happen, unfortunately.

The lack of quality WRs hurts too. If we can get a couple of tall, physical WRs to stretch the field, that will open up holes for AP and some underneath stuff in the passing game. The 2016 Draft will be important for putting those last pieces of the puzzle in place.

But if they come on this forum and expect us to kiss their a$$, they are wasting their time. This is a UND Discussion Forum, NOT Bisonville. The Fargo Forum may have co-opted the print media in Grand Forks, but this is still a 100% University of North Dakota oriented web site.

Especially since their fan base would never, ever root for us in the same situation. They would come up with all sorts of excuses as to why it doesn't matter or why we were lucky all season and shouldn't have gotten this far and so on. One thing I don't want to hear is that the whole State of North Dakota should get together and rally around the almighty Bison because it "benefits the whole state". HORSECRAP! It only benefits NDSU and Imperial Cass County....and that is it. Simply put, I am a fan of whomever is playing the Bison every week (regular season or playoffs). Because they would do the exact same thing in our shoes.

He never questioned wearing Sioux gear (I think he will always wear Sioux gear). He was talking about how some people are vowing to never, ever accept any other name but Fighting Sioux. And he was questioning the logic of that.

You told him to change his forum name. I get told that by certain people all the time. And I don't take kindly to it.

I know Siouxperfan7 personally and I know this man is a passionate and loyal supporter of all things UND. So please don't question his loyalty or commitment to our programs.

I think it is important to remember that for a lot of these kids, this is their first sustained time away from home. It is not surprising that some of them are feeling homesick and thinking twice about going to school here.

You know what the worst part of this is? Why we sit here and bicker about who is or isn't leaving our program, Joel Heitkamp is on KFGO broadcasting live from the Fargodump, doing a 3 hour pre-pre-game show before NDSU's nationally televised FCS Semifinal game vs. Richmond. Bubba's rebuiilding job cannot be finished soon enough.

If you can't share names, don't drop hints.

They have to protect their precious tax exempt status and their antitrust exemption.
