4 nickel games. Threw down in that playoff game. I should also mention that the documentary(so well done! that basketball rivalry!!!) may have converted me to the bring the rivalry back every OTHER year(some think none at all, some say annual, I compromise). Yet at the same time, that rivalry was clearly so amazing, that no matter how hard we try, it really is gone and should be almost left alone.

Don't try playing stupid. I am aware that they are two independent things. I don't think anyone said they are dependent on one another. It can probably be assumed that when you talk down/look down on some group of people that you feel your group is better than them.

By trashing my fanbase, you are essentially saying yours is better. That is what we called in geometry back in high school, a given. I am proud of my university and the gentlemen we have leading us. Has this been handled perfectly? Nope, no situation can be handled perfectly. That is ok too. I will gladly take the problems NDSU has had the past 10 years or so over the problems UND has had. Same here. He can be rather mean. He doesn't like having threads be made about him on AGS.

Wouldn't have him any other way. Nice italics. Love his fire.

So far this documentary has been very good, and its almost done.

Well am I the one living in denial when I simply type UND fans into google and that pops up? When I type in NDSU fan nothing bad came up. Yet you talk smack about my fanbase and say we are this terrible thing while pretending that UND is the pinnacle of excellent fanbases. I'm not too concerned with the voting things right now. It'll get sorted out and no new information is coming out that I am aware of. The coach and AD didn't say the crime isn't serious. Thats great that the AG and the Secretary of State want to increase the penalty in the future. That doesn't have any impact on this situation. Go ahead and throw other football players, I still won't care other than the Jemison thing and the Ojuri stuff.

The link didn't appear to show anything. I find it a bit funny that a UND fan was lecturing about how "NDSU has the worst fans and the state should be embarassed." Yet while googling UND fans, the two things I listed were two of the first things to pop up on my screen.

Yes! The trend! It is growing!

I am surprised at your knowledge regarding most schools' fanbases opinions of North Dakota State fans. Once again, I will point to reviews we have received from fans who come to the Fargodome and from fans at away games that I have been able to talk to. Colorado State? Got stopped by a few of them on the way out who said we had great fans. Lafayette? Dude had his own little thing in the Forum I believe saying much he enjoyed his trip to Fargo. Georgia Southern? Lehigh? James Madison? Can't recall hearing anything bad from them on any boards. Using message boards to judge entire fanbases doesn't come across as intelligent either. I mean...a google search shows me this. Can't recall any NDSU fans becoming a .gif on the internet for bad behavior...or punching holes in the Xcel. The most simple google search, "UND fans" reveals this little tidbit. http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/119470934.html (top result!)

Tough actin' tinactin.

Montana fans have no right to dislike us, we haven't even played them in D-I. UNI fans don't like us because of knuckleheads like Lakes. It probably doesn't help that it looks like NDSU is going to be a major roadblock in their way to winning conference championships. NDSU fans are a fun obnoxious bunch. And I wouldn't expect people in Minneapolis who enjoy Gopher football to be overly fond of the people who cheer for a program who has embarassed them. Once again, you are entitled to your opinion, yet we have received good reviews from dang near anyone who shows up at the Fargodome to tailgate and watch a game. And how would you know who has the worst fanbase in FCS? How many FCS teams have you watched in person and witnessed their fans? Like I already stated, he probably would have suspended them or punished them in some way regardless but the recent issue at NDSU made his job much easier to keep people happy.

I think that the recent attention at NDSU probably made his decision much easier. It doesn't belong on AGS unless you put in the 'Other Sports' area. Hm, I find that odd. For the most part everyone who makes a trip out to Fargo for a game usually has nothing but kind words to say about how they are treated in Fargo, in the tailgating lot, during/after the game. But what do they know I guess. In fact, I believe one Lafayette fan had such a great time and met a lot of people he considers friends in Fargo, that he made the trip down to Frisco. North Dakota State is far from a disgrace to the best state in the Union. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though I guess. Though yours is based moreso on dislike of a university's athletic program and a small sample size of fans rather than a bigger picture. I don't know any Bison fans who get more excited for a UND loss than one of our victories. Many of us are raised with "My favorite team is the Bison, second favorite is whoever UND has this week." And don't pretend when UND does well, it isn't fun to have some (mostly) good-natured ribbing with people.

Bledsoe. Then Brady got hurt and Bledsoe came back in, then Brady got healthy and got the job back I think?

MVFC has NDSU over CSU ISU-R over EMU YSU over Pitt so one fewer, nice to see FCS winning.

Never said it was up to me. I'd probably just recommend that people go check out AGS and see if other teams fans are posting their stats. It seems very Chattown-ish(anyone who goes on AGS knows who he is, kinda like a Lakes) is all. When it is surrounding several players of a high profile team and could have national title implications...I'd say so.

I guess it depends on what you consider things worth talking about.

I haven't noticed that too much. Granted, during out bad year(s), lotso' Bison fans myself included weren't too pleased with Mr. Bohl. That is unheard of now. Winning, or optomism, have a way of changing things.

NDSU fans will comment about a team within an hour of our school. Hence, why the people who comment are NDSU fans. Other teams fans from across the country are probably not going care about the breakdown of statistics.

UND isn't relevant enough right now. Gothmog is right. Those stats belong on BSC or UND boards. Not the board that everyone shares.

Needs to be obvious. If it had been called incomplete, it'd have been hard to overturn as well.

Brian Kelly is also only 50 years old. He got his first FBS coaching job when he was 42. Bohl is already 54 years old. By the time Bohl would be at a BCS-type school, he would be getting old.

After UND's last two performances defensively, I am going to assume that the defense just isn't any good at this point in time. It'd be hard to imagine a UND defense being that bad for a full season though. Should be interesting to see how they play.

I don't know. I am sure nothing too terrible would happen. I wouldn't expect them to get kicked out of school or anything. We'll see what el Presidente does. I would assume whatever he does is what would happen to a normal student.

You seem like one of those guys that doesn't like Notre Dame very much.

Same guy from App's titles is still there. no guarantee that Bohl would be gone.
