UND's presence has been common on billboards in the Fargo area for years. It's mostly about enrollment. Touché

NDSU has the weekend off.

its'

Whatever

It's NDSU.

Nothing else going on in UND country. I choose to use the proper name out of respect.

You have an envy problem that eats away at you. I realize that you can't help yourself.

Delusion and envy.

Your envy is showing.

The Bison could play with many teams in the major conferences. It's about the caliber of play that people are seeing consistently. No one is suggesting that they would beat teams like Oregon or Alabama. When UND hosted the Junior Nationals, it was a proud moment for a lot of North Dakotans. When the Sioux have gone to the Frozen Four, the 'state' has been proud.

It was embarrassing.

That was indeed very strange. Didn't like it very much.

I'm glad that they gave both universities some love. Even Concordia had its moment.

Which are things that a lot of NDSU fans are proud of too. Many Bison fans are Sioux hockey fans. Many are proud that Phil Jackson is from North Dakota. We have two flagship programs to be very proud of, among other things in athletics. Both institutions have their history of excellence in many arenas.

There you go again.

Many of you seem to pay quite a bit of attention to bisonville. You quote it often.

Trolls that write the truth. Both schools protect their flagship program, at a high cost. Bison fans recognize the accomplishments of Sioux hockey. It's high profile. Bison football has raised its profile considerably.

As do you.

North Dakota State was the name the announcers used. The audience was huge. Live with it. NDSU doesn't try to bask in the glory of UND's flagship program. Each school has its flagship, that it will protect.

The whining from GF has been louder ever since NDSU announced its intent to move to DI. The UND faithful have selective memories.

Perhaps if the UND faithful hadn't made such a big deal about NDSU moving up, it would have made a difference. You guys were going to do everything better if you moved up. Remember that?

The situation with USD is slightly different than the one with UND.

Gene Taylor's job is to create schedules that build the programs. He's done a great job with football. Lest we forget, UND canceled all athletic competition with NDSU. The game between UND and NDSU will come back someday. It's a historic rivalry because both schools went through their eras of domination.

So we agree that Gene Taylor has done a great job with scheduling for Bison football. Seems that NDSU's profile has steadily gone up. That's his job, I think. For all of the Gene Taylor critics here, it can't be denied that he's done the job for NDSU. Think that's in his job description.

Central won the MAC that year. It matters. We beat them badly. If not now, it certainly mattered at the time. Gene Taylor has done a masterful job of scheduling FBS games that are winnable. There are some elite programs that I doubt he'd try to schedule. For example, I doubt that Gene would try to schedule Oregon to have a track meet with them. The top tier of the SEC would also be a foolish mistake. Some of the earlier FBS games seemed insurmountable. Other FCS programs should be glad that the Bison have shown that the difference between a strong FCS program and a mid-level FBS program really isn't that much. It's good for the credibility of all FCS programs when it comes to recruiting. We found that a lot of K-State fans had no clue what the FCS was. They talked about playing a DII program. Some of the talk was simply smack, but most of it was ignorance. I'd bet that a lot of those people, and the millions of viewers, have learned something about the FCS now.
