This was the clincher. Just needed something to light the spark. After that, the fire burned pure.

Still a rivalry, but not as much fun since it's not 2 series every season, and no conference points/standings on the line. UND and Minn used to own the WCHA regular season, so competing with them for points and inevitably playing them in the conference tournament was all part of the fun. You might have to play them 5 or 6 times in one season, with each one building a crescendo of importance (reg season, conf tourney, NCAA tourney).

There's some obvious ones: the timeout, Porter's wraparound, Bina's 180' shorty, Trupp's bat out of mid-air, etc. A series of games that stand out to me happened in 2009. In January, the Gopher's come to the Ralph highly ranked (maybe top 3?) and I believe the Sioux were unranked and about to start one of their famous second half turnarounds under Hakstol. Sioux put on a clinic and unleash on 'em: 6-3 Friday and 6-1 Saturday. Tons of scrums in the Saturday game. Then the next season, in October 2009, in the Friday night game, the Sioux won 4-0 in similar style and the crowd is chanting "Just like last year."

I was told once that UND never copyrighted the interlocking logo, but Notre Dame did.

What a great game to have recruits at. Hope it pays off several dividends.

That’s definitely a game changer when it comes to roster management.

So you can play 4 regular season games PLUS all playoff games and retain eligibility?

Was the UNI game the MVFC game of the week last year? I know that was on ESPN3 because I watched it through my cable subscription (and I don’t subscribe to ESPN+).

Was UND required to retire the interlocking ND, or was it a decision by the university ? I figured since it had no Native American imagery it would be allowed to stay.

Ok, thanks. I was wondering about that.

Who’s permission?

No idea, but it was glorious, whatever it was.

I love the interlocking ND logo. It is my favorite of any UND logo of any sport. (I’d like to see the hockey jerseys get these on their shoulders again). Is using it every game against our “legacy” agreement when it comes to imagery, or could we do that?

I personally like the “Skokna game.” Had 3 touchdowns including the kickoff return to set the tone. Gave the “horns down” right the face of a Bison defender in the end zone. Talked about wanting to rehab his injury so he could beat these guys. I mentioned earlier how happy I am for Tommy and Bubba, and i should have mentioned Skokna too.

Yep. Been saying that for a while. The program changed today.

Happy for Tommy to get this win under his belt. It was certainly possible for him to own (and I mean REALLY own) all the quarterback records, but yet never beat NDSU. This win cements his legacy much more. Also happy for Bubba. He maybe could have had a couple more shots at this victory before he hangs it up, but glad he doesn’t have to think about never beating them. wonderful day all around.

Glad we beat them, but good luck to them. The Badgers can tear through the Big Ten as far as I’m concerned.

Yep. Celebrate tonight, then get ready for UNI. Like I said, now the belief is there.

I don’t know…there’s one Dakota school that might possibly lose to all the others.

Totally agree. The good thing now is that the belief is there.

Of I all the scenarios this could have played out, what happened today was the most unexpected.

Those helmets looked beautiful out there. I think it made the win a little sweeter.

Yep. Outlook has completely changed.

20 years of frustration taken out today.

I requested this get changed earlier in the week.
