I do not know how to make videos. And if I did, I would probably do a piss poor job and it wouldn't be funny. I just saw this on AGS I believe and thought since Measure 4 is a major topic of discussion, you guys might want to see it. I warned in the first post that a lot of it is stuff you might not enjoy, but the part simply about measure 4 raised some funny points. At least someone has a sense of humor.

According to Lakes, we were when we beat Minnesota a few years back.

Oh dear, you are seriously using cost as a reason that the Nickel shouldn't be in a museum? Who cares? All they'd have to do is put the trophy behind a glass case and have a sign for it describing the trophy's significance. Right now you sound stupid for claiming cost as a reason to not put it in a museum. The state has a boatload of money, I'm pretty sure we can afford to pay a few hundred bucks for a display case....we don't need a seperate room for it.

Right now I am seeing 45 views. I hope some of you took the time to vote. It takes literally about one minute and it goes to a good cause.

Alright guys, I know you all dislike me for the most part. Anyways, this small company does videos every week during the football season. He does a lot of FCS games and he does a pretty good job. Plus he is funny. I'm sure soon he will even start doing some of the UND games. Mods, feel free to move it, just put it here because this is a main page. His company gets a pretty solid prize if they win I think.

Agree to disagree then. I have witnessed plenty of posts on here claiming that UND fans have moved on and do not care, and the same people probably are some of the same ones who attack NDSU people for claiming the rivalry is done. Other than some people such as Lakes, I do not know anyone particular who doesn't look at UND as a chief rival. The rivalry has went from a real honest one, to a pretty childish feud at this point though IMO.

Warhawks sounds stupid because it is just two random words put together.

This is frickin pathetic. I wonder if it will be easier for the government to break this up now?

I understand that this was meant as a slam. I see you forgot the Pharmacy kids, and the engineers at NDSU as well. But regardless, that is a dumb idea anyway. Airplanes, stethescopes, cows, tractors, barns, and women have nothing to do with the game. .....So NDSU will be FBS by 2020?

Well since it was my idea, I better be invited to the groundbreaking ceremony. Heck, I'll send my kid instead. I'll be in the nursing home.

Isn't UND building a 35,000 seat retractable roofed stadium at Memorial? Might as well just wait until that is done.

Yeah, I really liked the nickel trophy. It was a pretty cool idea. Assuming NDSU/UND start playing again...and yes, anything is fair game considering the idiots over in the B1G. Maybe a large metal object shaped like North Dakota. And whoever wins gets a small school logo stamped on it. It would keep track of who has won the games too. it'd end up looking a bit like an Ohio St. helmet after 100 years but thats ok.

The person he was referring to was most likely me. So you are saying that a trophy that was rewarded to the winner for 65 years should stay hidden somewhere when the game isn't even played anymore and the Sioux nickname is probably gone? It belongs in a museum. It is a pretty cool trophy especially when compared to some of the stupid ones other schools play for. Everyone deserves to be able to see it at this point. 75% of this poll so far believes the Nickel should not be played for, if it shouldn't be played for, in your opinions, then it doesn't belong hidden somewhere in Grand Forks. There is no reason that it shouldn't be in a museum now. Prairie View is wetting themselves as well, just for other reasons

Real sad deal. They seemed like a program was going to be a force to be reckoned with.

What does the overall record have to do with the fact that I think that the trophy should be in a museum where everyone can see it. Will it make you happier if I said it should have a plaque that has a list of all the Nickel game scores on it?

Eh, Idk, its a little hostile and abusive.

When NDSU swept UND (I think we did?) in volleyball and absolutely destroyed UND in basketball last year, I still wouldn't have been "GET THEM ON THE SCHEDULE!!!!" Texas A&M and Texas won't be playing anymore it sounds like. Those songs won't change. Even if they don't play, it won't change the fact that they hate one another. Don't pull the "holier than thou" card. I have loads of friends at UND. When we have went to house parties and such and I wear an NDSU hat, I get harassed all night. And thats fine. That is how it goes. Don't go claiming that it is just NDSU people who can't let it go. Bohl has said he doesn't want 12 games I believe. he has also said that he is open to discussing it though too I think.

I'm not going to rewatch it. I will presume there was some poor grammar and misspelling using Ballet instead of Ballot?

I cited the Montana schools as an example of teams I'd like to see NDSU play. We have agreements in place to play both of them I believe. I don't think too many people are "envious" that UND is going to play them. Just like UND probably isn't exactly envious that we play Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois and Youngstown State. I'd say right now the game is more important to UND than NDSU because NDSU has a lot of big, positive momentum. UND right now, is struggling with attendence, and fan interest. I imagine if UND makes a smooth transition into the Big Sky and gets its issues fixed, then the game will not benefit either side more than the other. I am not sure, but they've received about $10 million since September. I first remember hearing anything about renovations after the Woodside Administration made it to the Big Dance.

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/360888/ Haha, sorry darell but it sounds like the money is pretty well there now to get started as soon as this fall. But if you want proof NDSU's football budget is better than UNI's look no further than last year when we gave their defensive backs/defensive coordinator a demotion and he came to Fargo because he was getting a raise.

I voted to retire it. I doubt NDSU and UND will be playing annually anyways. I'd send it to some state museum or something. It is a cool piece of history.

Prairie View and Robert Morris are coming to the dome to get stomped, and we don't have to make a return trip. That is what makes them worthy. UNI also has less money to throw around than NDSU...to be fair.

I haven't talked to anyone who thinks UND won anything last year, my sister lives in DC and said she got a lot on congrats on the NDSU victory from the other congressional assisntant people, no mentions of UND. In all honesty, no one outside of the FCS world and college hockey world has any idea who NDSU or UND are. But like I pointed out in the first post, I said you guys wouldn't like the parts that were not about the Measure 4 vote stuff. Looks like that holds true.

No. People like lakes are trying to not want the game. There was a small sioux suck chant at the game. There was a sioux suck chant when they got home. I have been to every home game for years...I haven't heard a real sioux suck chant at an NDSU football game since we actually palyed UND. In the student section, you'll hear a few people and clusters of friends do it from time to time. Yes, I am not surprised at a former Bison players wedding they would do that. It is something Bison fans have always done. I don't know why you care....it is just what people do. The Texas and Texas A&M fight songs both talk crap about the other school. Those schools will not be playing from now on, and I'm betting the songs will not change. Someone is Fargo, has been Division I longer. And probably trying to make a schedule that works out based on a variety of factors. Now that UND is in the Big Sky, you will probably find out that there is nothing wrong with being selective about who you play out of conference and when you play them.

http://www.kfgo.com/uploads/Gene_Taylor_05172012.mp3 Sounds like the gun was jumped. If you have 5-10 minutes to spare, Gene Taylor talks about the likelihood of a game. He sounds much more cautious about saying anything, though he did mention something to the the media blog or whatever. Taylor seems to think there are a lot of details he'd like to get figured out before agreeing to anything. Remember, football is king down here in Fargo. And if you bring up potentially playing UND in football, that is going to generate a ton of conversation. Btw, if you read the entire thread, just look for stuff lakes has texted or emailed some of the posters. Its good for a laugh. He should be on suicide watch.
