Pretty sweet game regardless of who won. Gives the rest of the nation some hope.

gross.

is that what they call getting run out of the building nowadays? On a serious note... White pants are way cooler than black. Always have been, always will be.

I am under the impression the money is expected to come through donations, not through taking from academic sources. If they ever did that I'd be okay with a hammer getting dropped by the state.

My plans?

did jet fuel melt the Steel beams or did the government do it?

he is suggesting more female sports or a cut of men's programs.

I'll never defend the appearance of the campus of NDSU. I think it's ugly. Being a land grant is not a bad thing. Lots of good "ag schools." A&M, OK St., Iowa St, Mich St, etc. Have fun with puck season because right now that's really about all you have left to enjoy unless football can start winning.

if they have a matching donor, they only need half that amount. I think they'll get it. Mention football advantage and the donors will probably do it.

Mountain West was a really good football conference when Utah, BYU, and TCU were there. Better than the Big East was anyway. I have a soft spot for the Mountain West. Air Force and Colorado State in particular.

probably saying, "and that gentlemen, is what we call efficiency."

same day ND plays Ga Tech. Could both be pretty highly rated. Wouldn't besshocked though.

are you upset because other schools beside NDSU think UND is awful? If UND starts putting decent teams on the field maybe they won't hate on you. It doesn't help that you ran away from your bet.

does the bet you lost have anything to do with staying away?

are you sure you didn't drop it because you lost a wager? The mod is certainly not a Bison fan. He is a Montana guy.

are you going to tell us about how jet fuel can't melt steel beams next? Or were you going to blaim more economic events on Jewish holidays?

you make the internet so much fun.

they are allowed to do that. To the NCAA the Seminoles are no different than the crimson Tide. They hhave permission. I don't know how you haven't picked up on that yet.

Florida St has the blessing of the tribes. And if they lose that blessing... They have a lot of money. And to the other guys point... You folks and Florida St don't really have much in the way of common opponents. But even if you did... They can use the rational and convenient response of "UND doesn't have the blessing of the tribes. Florida St does." Pick a name

yep. A few schools probably can play ball with them. Florida St, Notre Dame, etc. Florida St has permission. Utah has permission. San Diego St really has no one to ask I don't think... Someone else can maybe look up if there is any Aztecs left. Notre Dame has a great relationship with Ireland I believe. UND lost and some of you seem determined to sink the ship. I feel bad for those of you who have been reasonable and grown up about it.

was it something that has been talked about at length on here? I haven't read big chunks of the thread, apologies if redundant statement was redundant.

I can't honestly believe there are people willing leave any room for the NCAA to interpret anything. Especially when they have apparently said they'll drop the hammer if anyone complains. Here is what you do know, the other schools who changed their names have not suffered as a result of any fan cheers/apparel. Some of the people here need to answer the question, is trying to big time the NCAA worth hpotentially losing even one playoff game over? If so, write a letter to your football team and tell them you are okay with potentially doing that to them.

the same thing that is wrong with every other name. "It's not the Fighting Sioux! "

go for it. Notre Dame has money. And a lot of it.

the NCAA wouldn't care as long as a new official name was chosen. You can wear that Fighting Sioux jersey forever and cry and stomp your feet. They will not care.
