I remember hearing this during the 1980's when I was in grade school and my dad took me to the games we could get general admission tickets for, so it isn't something that just started 5 years ago. Doesn't mean I condone or endorse it, though. And you are right, the suits in Twamley Hall need to focus on upgrading our athletic facilities and finding new sources of revenue, because it isn't going to get any cheaper anytime soon. I do not want us to settle for being a low-major Division I school.

What in the heck is going on with the women's hockey program? I am sick of playing second and third fiddle to Minnesota, Wisconsin and whomever else year after year. Idalski needs to figure this thing out and fast.

As would I. But I don't see this happening. There is too much to lose.

Yeah, there are about 40 bowl games now; every nickel and dime 6-6 team gets to go to a bowl game. Reward for the regular season.....what a joke. Have an 8-team playoff for the P5 and the G5, dump all these worthless bowl games and you have a pretty good system.

Doesn't the ND Legislature have enough on its plate right now? Oh that's right, I forgot, this is the Legislature. Common sense doesn't apply.

Maybe because the women's team is coming off of a Big Sky tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament, while the men are coming off another exciting appearance in the CIT? The jury is still out on the men's team, but you shouldn't be surprised at the frustration from our fans right now. I certainly am not.

It would be better than "Green and White", "Sundogs", "Spirit" or "Flames".

Not to start a fight here, but if this was a Tea Party protest that was interrupted by a motor vehicle, there would be people on here calling for a long prison sentence for the driver. Am I right? Simple question.* *Copyright 2015 GOBC. All Rights Reserved.

What, Cowgirls? That is tame compared to some things I could have posted (not without being suspended that is). And Fudge Packers? That is an old one, surprised that you were shocked at its use. And please remember, while most politically correct people are progressive, most progressives are not politically correct. And that goes double for me.

I believe this is the infamous "Tuck Rule" playoff game in 2002. Considering how strained the relationship between Al Davis and the rest of the league has been over the years, it makes you wonder.

I have deleted it. Happy now?

Yes, really. Got a problem with that?

I wonder how much Jones is going to have to raise concession prices next year to pay for that "lucky break".

Har, har, har. I am very happy with Bridgewater and his rookie performance with an unreliable running game (thanks for nothing AP), very few quality receivers and an inconsistent O-Line. Meanwhile, I didn't see your boy Minnehaha Dix (or whatever he calls himself) make many highlight reels.

I think the Ravens have a decent shot of making the big game. Carolina.....I don't think they survive the Seahawks next weekend. A Ravens-Seahawks Super Bowl would be fantastic.

That is the point I was trying to make with him earlier. Don't expect to have much more success than I had.

Not a Lions fan; just sick and tired of the so-called "glamour" franchises in the league getting breaks they do not deserve and did not earn.

He was trying to catch the ball and he smacked Hitchens in the face in the process because Hitchens practically ran him over without making a play on the ball. That, by definition, is defensive PI. If that isn't PI, then nothing is. And the Lions should never have had to punt in the first place, so you can throw that out with the rest of the bath water. Especially with Dez Bryant running out on the field. Last time I checked, that was worth a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The rulebook went out the window big-time on that one play. The Cowgirls and the Fudge Packers have both been the beneficiaries of favorable officiating for years. But next weekend, something will have to give. That is the best reason to watch that particular game.

Unfortunately, no. But I'll bet Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are drooling at the prospect of covering two of their favorite teams. Not to mention the entire Fox NFL Sunday studio crew.

That is all you need to call PI on that play. But since it's the almighty Cowboys, we'll just pick it up. The bad news for the Cowboys? They are headed to Green Bay, which the league loves even more than they love the Cowboys! Let's call it "The NFL Suck-Up Bowl".

I agree with this, but according to Cratter and others on this forum, this reshuffling is simply not possible and will not happen.

Anybody who thinks that flag would have been picked up if the teams were reversed is either a) kidding themselves or b) is a Cowboys fan.

BREAKING NEWS: This video on the field before the game shows Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making small talk with the officials:

So you really think UND and NDSU should jump to FBS so we can get into some cheesy bowl game on a weeknight on ESPN in December when most people are Christmas shopping or getting plugged into the NBA, NHL or CBB and the stands would be half-full at best? How many people in Grand Forks or Fargo would want to travel to this game? How many alumni would get stoked about their alma mater being in something called the Whatever.Com Bowl? I think I know the answers to these questions, as do most of the people on this forum. If we want to make our mark in the world of big-time college athletics, we should focus on building powerhouse MBB programs that get to the NCAA tournament on a regular basis and occasionally upset some big-name schools. That would make much more sense than chasing the fool's gold of low-level, bottom-feeding FBS football.

Again...it's a team game. Archie Manning got the crap beat out of him, not because he sucked, but because the teams he played on sucked. FB is the ultimate team game.
