I seriously doubt having the nickname removed caused people to switch allegiances. Statewide broadcast for football has probably helped NDSU out quite a bit.

and hand grenades

I'm a Flyer fan...(nothing to be happy about), but I doubt very much that the Bruin fans care more about beating the Pens than winning a Cup. Now if you were talking UND football wanting a W against the Herd more than a title.....I might agree with ya(troll comment, don't respond folks)

Mussman shows a great ability to make the crucial late 4th quarter adjustments necessary to win championships.

Lol fake. Nice D on previous play though....shocked they didn't just run the ball.

Give the man a medal! And weekly spot on ESPN's "Cold Hard Lead Pipe Locks"on Sundays.

Burn via Christianity.

Osbourne owns that state.

Just saying, your buddy Rob Port doesn't actually count as "connected" at NDSU.

Calling the dance team thing an "issue" is grasping for straws. Is NDSU flawless? Nope. Wouldn't be remotely surprised if you are making it up that your buddies are "well-connected."

Yep. They reportedly practiced outside allotted times. And honestly, I haven't heard a fan even remotely sad that they aren't on the sidelines dancing. Also, to whomever compared the dance team to the marching band....at a football game...needs to have their head examined. One of the two organizations exists basically exclusively for football games, the other is a club the university allowed to perform.

I thought they were all successful pilots? Oh wait...thats the Air Force and Naval Academy grads...UND gets the leftovers....

You are aware that American sports in general had issues with steroids in the 80's. I am 100% sure UND never had anyone on the team using the juice.....LOL

10 points is a pretty close game in basketball. Especially if one team is fouling(a concept I really hate, honestly wish they'd call intentional fouls more often) and the winning team is shooting a bunch of free throws late. Nah...too much fun. I agree on Marshall. Great guy to have on the post, I'm not a basketball mind at all but it seems like if a guy hits like 65% of his shots, you probably should feed him til the other team can stop it. Hope Alexander is ready for this one. SHOULD be best Herd team since the Woodside Administration.

I'll take the Herd by 10.

Just checked the last email sent/received from gene. Sent at 10:47 am. Reply at 11:04 am. Does a much better job staying on top of emails than I do....oofda.

Thats odd, on the occasion I have emailed Mr. Taylor I have gotten a response back within an hour or so.

One must only point to UND's record against said conference in previous season to counter his shot.

So is the Summit a high-major or what then?

Random info: USD 28 UNI 28 end of 4th. USD moved last years QB to WR it appears. No idea if this means UNI is falling apart this time of the year or if USD is becoming solid

Not sugarcoating that debacle. That team was not good....but that team, at the very least, kept games competitive. UND has not done that thus far....other than ISU(bad team) and SDSU(No idea what to describe the team down in brookings as)

Had enough in the 80's and early 2010's to make up for that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you want to compare resume's with NDSU, it won't make you very happy. I don't remember any blowouts? That said, I expect UND to work its way into at least a top half Big Sky team at some point. The bad years make the good ones sweet. (obligatory nice comment)

LOL the UND reign....cute. One title. I can multitask darell.

Completely possible we lose in the playoffs. I try not to assume anything. Just hope we can bring home a 3rd chipper in a row here.

Not SU's fault UND wasn't good enough to get there...and NDSU beat UND en route to the 8 seasons we played UND and won titles... By your logic, the gophs are a better hockey school than UND. Do you believe that as well?
