Well.... it was fun while it lasted, eh?

Being America's most well known Catholic university and having Natty's coming out of your butt sure helps. http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/news/companies/notre-dame-college-football-tickets/ Notre Dame is the Yankees or Red Sox of college football, love 'em or hate 'em, you are probably reacting to the score of their game on the ESPN ticker. The fact that you brought up the football program in a basketball thread speaks for itself.

No thanks. I don't dig the "good for the state" stuff. I cheer for Notre Dame, then the other Catholic schools, then NDSU(if they make it) in the dance. Enjoy the show. It's pretty neat seeing your school battle the big boys in games that matter.

Literally everyone has that rep. Lol

Meh. Yes more stable, having a "flagship" school helps I'm sure, and yeah it should help with competition. Top dog? That's bold. We will see what happens though!

There is only Daum. Those low energy losers would have transferred.

It's related to the Jubilee.

Mike Daum.

So this Central team was better than Red River last year hands down? Pretty impressive.

I got an email every year while at ndsu regarding interest. Tough to justify adding sports if the interest isn't there.

Not really. AD guesstimated it to be around 4-500k.

I imagine this administration is not going to start any witch hunts on garbage like that.

That's not what I was talking about. Ncaa doesn't seem to mind. Probably because it's not a problem.

Women's sports offer more scholarships than the male sport I believe. Ndsu also doesn't base it on 50/50 equity anyways.

Two can play that game... Last year, ndsu beat ysu by 3, and then won a natty. This year, they beat ysu by 21 at home, in a year that ysu makes the title game and ndsu does not. What's the situation there then? Is ndsu trending up or down??? I don't disagree (no reasonable person would) that NDSU is not at the level they were, but your reasoning is pretty dumb.

I had some ivy leaguers ridiculing me pretty hard about the pipeline in NYC this weekend. I should ask my cousin to bottle their tears for me.

Is Alabama sliding every year or two then? I mean, they didn't win the title! Every year(including the juggernaut 2013 team), ndsu has had close games. Losing coaches is not a bad thing, means you are doing a good job finding good people. Would you rather have a low energy guy who can't do any better than FCS? No.

Don't know. Don't care. I think that stuff is all cheesy anyway. I prefer original content. Speaking of original content:

I didn't watch much ndsu football the last couple years, but I got a lot of texts/calls from people complaining about Polasek....

I already started by saying it's weak that NDSU does that...so..yeah...go for it I guess? I think most people are familiar they used to have a different nickname. I think they've also went by Farmers at one point. Wish they'd kept one of those old names.

Copycatting the hockey stuff is weak. Like #RollTribe or NDSU's hook 'em weak.

It seems like the one ignoring problems is you. Glass house. Both schools will be making some tough decisions...personally, I don't believe in the state funded athletics at public schools. I'd slash the #@$% out of them and arts programs.

That wouldn't explain anything. Almost every school's athletic department runs at a deficit.

I was expecting something...you know...HUGE

The NDSU guys are monsters. I got a couple at UND but for how often I was parked illegally up there, not too bad.
