Fightingsioux4life don't be bitter. It was a great rivalry however brief. Every GV fan I know has nothing but respect for your entire football program. It is without a doubt a top notch organization, with great players and coaches, who have been very successful by any standard. You have a winning tradition and great football fans. Your team NEVER gives up. You Fighting Sioux are literally fighters in other arenas as well and GV fans have felt your pain as you do battle with the NCAA over their hostile, abusive, and unfair policies. You are officially out of Dvision II now after many years at or near the top. The disappointment of today will quickly fade and you will find that you need a Division II team to pull for. Just as I imangine many Sioux Players wished the Grand Valley Players good fortune as they met at midfield after the game so too can you wish the best for a worthy adversary. On behalf of Grand Valley State University I invite Fightingsioux4life and all of the great University of North Dakota fans to adopt us as their favored Division II football program. I of course will understand your reluctance to do so until after the NCC/GLIAC slugfest ends next week. After all, you guys are nothing if not loyal, but trust DaveK on this one. There is always room for great fans like you on the GV bandwagon.

You have to beat the best to be the best. If we would play UNO and win, we still would have to go to GV a week later, in colder weather and with a more dinged up team. This way, we hopefully jump to a big lead, rest the star players, and go to GV a week earlier and end the streak. Then we can set up a NCC showdown in Omaha for the Northwest title.

SiouxMD is correct. Not looking ahead....... ........but I hope to see you Allendale again. UNO would be OK but we have a "thing" going with UND and we have to get our digs in before you move up to D 1.

Congrats UND on a great season/game. I hope that you bring a lot of your fans to Bama because GVSU is going to have a BIG CROWD. I wouldn't miss this game for anything! D2 football, where else can you get into a great game like this for 15 bucks? Worth the trip, for sure.
