IPF still isn't even started. That says enough about UND football donors.

You have to remember, some of these people think that all wealthy alumni are like Ralph and give boatloads of cash and that money is not hard to come buy. People should remember when it comes to UND football, it is not easy like it is for hockey to raise funds.

Starting around the 10:00 mark and finishing around 12 minutes are so, the video talks about the very beginning of UND and the Ol' AC playing against one another. Doesn't favor either team, just mentions how it began. You probably won't be interested in the rest. I put this in community because the last thing I want to do is start crap in the football thread. Feel free to enjoy. and who doesn't want to enjoy Ed Schultz eh?

The cost of that would be beyond insane. I don't think many folks on here are holding their breath waiting for that.

One could maybe suggest it might be better to wait because the closer people get to football season the more excited they are when they see the ads for it. /devilsadvocate.

Certainly not a 25 yard out-route thrown by Hansen eh? Just a soft toss by some drunk white guy who smells like cheese with a beer stain on his beloved jersey (I like giving the und hockey-only folks crap more than the rest of you guys)

what is the Sioux Run

Watch out. I hear you get stoned in Grand Forks for that sort of language.

Thats just too bad. Real unfortunate.

Burger Time. I think anyone can agree it is delicious.

I seriously doubt that the people in the western half are anymore familiar with the Big Sky when compared to the MVFC. Weber State? Eastern Washington? Northern Arizona? I'd imagine they'd know Montana and Montana State. At least at this point in time.

Are you upset that I corrected someone that he hasn't (to our knowledge) been offered a scholarship by Wisconsin? Ease up. If my name was JohnboyUND7 you wouldn't have gotten ticked. Regardless, good luck to the guy at wisconsin.

Not to sound like a jerk but the eastern half of the state has more people I believe. And those people are closer to Grand Forks. Those people are more likely to actually buy tickets one would think.

Not a scholarship.

I can actually cheer for him now! I cheer for Wisky when I see them on the tube.

Should be fun to compare the pre-season and post-season ratings.

Comparing Fargo and Grand Forks to me is like comparing Bismarck to Jamestown, or Jamestown to Valley City. may want to change the subject now due to thread drifting.

They both have North Dakota culture. That for me, is where the similarities end.

Mama Maria's is not very good. Bad experience at Rhombus Guys but I have only heard good things about it so I imagine I just had some bad luck that time.

Or do they call it the U because thats the only thing Grand Forks has inside of city limits that anyone cares about? Either way, incorporating "U" into the nickname would be ridiculous.

I'll assume both of these are sarcastic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_Roberts_Golden_Eagles#Baseball Baseball is very important to them apparently. And considering they weren't happy with the Summit anyway regarding the tourney placement for basketball, it makes sense that they'd move to a league that is probably better for baseball.

I don't think Minnesota would have any interest in showing up in one of the Dakota's to play a football game unless they had to. MAYBE if one of the Dakota schools accomplished something at the FBS level.

The bolded part doesn't mention that they moved to the Southland from what I have heard, for about 2 reasons. Baseball is Oral Roberts biggest sport. Southland is higher quality. Reason two, they were not happy that the Summit tourney for basketball was going to be in Sioux Falls rather than Tulsa from now on and they were no longer the kings of the conference. But yes, that seemed like a fair assessment. MVFC isn't going anywhere.

Minnesota will not show up in Grand Forks. But like you said, UND would require to be A.) playing some decent teams at home, and B.) beating those teams consistently. Because like you said, if UND was not having a good year, you can bet the Alerus would be empty. NDSU would be able to get away with it better because of the "Football is King in Fargo" law.
