It seems like a similar situation to what happened in the early 90's with us. The IPF looming will be a game changer, and hopefully the program gets a financial commitment from the athletic department required to be excellent. Does anyone know what the difference is in UND and NDSU funding for football?

I'm sensing that UND is going to be placing more emphasis on the football program. If that happens watch out.

Buy or sell UND becoming the top team in the Big Sky this decade

When is the pit supposed to be finished so the turf install can begin?

Possibilities could be Brenneman, Bennett, Miller, Hansen, Hardin, and Mersereau (as PR)

That was the loudest place I've ever been in my life. Those nice tin walls bounce the sound to the field and the low ceiling holds the noise on the field. I was up in the cheap seats and it was like a riot up there.

Buy - I'm counting on him to come into fall camp bigger and faster and once the game starts slowing down for him he will be getting more touches than Sutton. Sutton should have a good year too if he stays healthy. Buy - If we get through Portland St. with a win then the team will roll through the home games and they will be out for revenge against Poly and Montana. Buy or sell UND has >1 All American after the season

I know. I was pissed about Fresno St. too among others. We could use him having some Tom Osborn / Les Miles type of stones

I agree on the stones part but maybe that had to do with who was playing QB I think we'll see him flex them a lot more this year with Hansen

Buy or sell football winning more national championships this decade than hockey.

The rats can move to the Alerus. We'll keep our Cushman. Can't even joke about it.

I assume that no matter what nickname they go with the university will still be of North Dakota and the football team never really associated with the Sioux logo anyway.

Buy - Ross Brenneman sacks, Daryl Brown ints, Greg Hardin rec are possible

Buy or sell Mussman is still the coach in 5 years and gets a little respect as a coach

I wonder what the Alerus will turn into once the football team moves out. The place already seems pretty dead.

Don't act like you weren't a little nervous about that one after what they did to UNI. It looked like you guys against St. Francis.

After watching the UNI pounding last year I thought you guys were going to crush NDSU in the championship. I'm hoping when we play this coming season you guys aren't on fire like that night and we get a good crowd and alot of mo rolling into that game. Both teams run very deep at LB with UND being much younger their but super talented.

Not as happy as we'd be to see you go. To be a troll on 'your teams' site is pathetic and strange to say the least. I'm not sure why you are still posting since you no longer have any connection to UND athletics now that the name has been retired. Maybe you should retire from this site and go over to Alcorn St.s site since you'd have a nickname to be a parasite to. I don't expect a response after you receive this tellagram so have a nice time with the fans of the late great Steve McNair.

This is something we should be getting used to. The expectations for Mollberg will be lofty to say the least. Hansen has earned these expectations and I feel like he will be better than people think if the play calling allows him to be. Buy or sell the offense averaging 430+ yards/game (I'm buying)

Buy with 4 ints. I'm hoping he comes into fall camp close to 180 lbs. His only weakness last year was his size/strength, put some meat on him and with his mean streak he will dominate WRs. Buy at least 2 times other than the Mimes game. I haven't been as excited for a UND offense since Dressler and Chappell were playing together. Buy or sell a TE (Nichols or Adler or both) actually factoring in on the passing offense consistantly

I know they're working on getting a Nike deal. Next year they are supposed to get new greens. But I do know for the blacks that they have already placed the order.

Why cause they should be NDSU colors instead of UND colors? Idk if you've noticed but the green is the same as the hockey teams which nobody seems to have a problem with

Ok. Last time I talk about this. The team is getting new all blacks. They are also repainting the helmets to be Kelly green to better match school colors.

I'm a football guy but I'm not going to deny that UND hockey is bigger. Though I must say it pisses me off when hockey only fans call the FCS a jv championship they get associated with me since we both like UND hockey and make me look like a prick which I don't appreciate. So please hockey only fans take your noses out of the air and stop making UND look bad.

Before the renovations yes. The fargodome has FBS quality meeting rooms and a decent locker room for the football team. The upstairs offices are also top notch. And given the fact that the fargodome people give a rats ass about Bison football and making it a good show I'd say the Fargodome is the winner. Strictly as a building the FargoDome is fugly though. The Alerus is better looking outside and isn't like a dungeon inside. The amount of seating and the stupid endzone catwalks are are a joke but the place is great when fans actually show up. In other words the FargoDome is better since they do more than just play the games there, its more of a home than the Alerus is for UND.
