Have those teams and UND talked about playing OOC games? If they have, or will in the future, do you think UND will insist on all games played in grand forks? Please list some examples for us where UND has refused to play area teams on the road. Thanks.

thanks for the link Darrel. they have a new quarterback, and a young offensive line.... hopefully our D gets off to a great start and makes life difficult for them.

As I mentioned a few days ago, here is the best plan: win the game next year, and buyout the 2019 game. I would gladly donate to that cause. UND would have all the leverage at that point, and FU would be in meltdown mode.

Shrew yeah yeah!!

Fight. On. Shrew. We're. All. For. You. We're thousands of strong and loyal moles!!!!

The last game was played in Grand Forks.... So, play this first game in Fargo, win, and then cancel the 2nd game. That wouldn't upset anyone at FU now would it?

I brought up Syracuse . you responded by bringing up Grand Forks central. I was not comparing the similarities of the previous nickname, I was merely pointing out that it's possible to thrive with colors being your nickname

So you're comparing Syracuse, to Grand Forks Central? I Haven't heard a nickname suggestion yet that sounds better than the no nickname name of green and white.

If having no nickname isn't a possibility, the Green and White is the next best choice. It allows the old guard to still feel an attachment to fighting Sioux, as green and white are just colors.... Meanwhile the PC crowd can run with Green and White and design whatever logos they want, while I wear my Sioux gear.... Which happens to be colored.... Yes, green and white. The Syracuse Orangemen changed to the Orange, and appear to be quite successful just having a color as their new name.

Thank u!

What are the tv options for this game?

That gave me an idea... How about the UND Aliases? Deep down we're still Sioux, but are forced to use an alias...

Yes, of course there are instructions left behind by GT if an offer is accepted: Step 1: Entirely change the offer, making it so ridiculous, no FCS school would ever think of signing it. Step 2: Repeat.

I didn't realize the team that had the better previous year, always gets to host..... Scheduling must be a nightmare for all these AD's.

Great points made above; I've never thought that far into it before. Maybe a one time in Fargo for the going price, and seal up a home and home at the same time for a total of 3 games... But yeah, as far as bending any more than that, it just doesn't make sense. My email will be sent as well.

Are we sure he's going to agree to a below market payday? If he is, then I agree with you. But maybe he's using his statement as leverage: UND is willing to play two on the road, so ndsu better at least offer a decent guarantee, or they can forget it.

4-1, right? Even tho its been awhile, its still our home away from home.

With that FU degree, looks like you'll have a life of laughter ahead of you.

Thanks for the links. Reading how gene Taylor sent out proposals, changed his mind, and then changed his mind again, is quite amusing.... The guy must like arguing with himself. If ndsu could afford to pay a decent guarantee comparable to what UND would get from an FBS team minus travel cost savings, I suppose two games in Fargo is a place to start- someone has to be the man in these negotiations and it sure doesn't appear anyone at ndsu is up for the role.

Lets try getting a little closer to on topic again. Ndsu scheduled another home and home big sky opponent.... Does this show there may be a willingness in the future to do the same with UND? Also, i thought scheduling was strictly an AD's job... So who made the decision down there? Dorn? Bresciani? Little Bo Peep?

Boy I don't know.... UND went 6-0 in major sport "Super Bowls" last year according to FU. A 7th Super Bowl in one year might be too much excitement for the fans!

The FU motto: Anyone, anytime, anywhere... (Except for UND- we're too afraid of them.)

How about the UND Spirit Lake Sioux. Have them vote again if needed, give them a generous percentage of merchandise sales. Have someone from Spirit Lake design a similar but new logo.

Not sure what you're getting at here... I think Sioux have a greater connection to the region than a cavalry unit that trained in the southwest before embarking on the first Cuban reality series, entitled "Dude, Where's My Horse?" It just seems you're grasping at straws to connect rough riders to North Dakota. If you like the name rough riders, fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But people liking the name rough riders because it is part of North Dakota heritage is just plain inaccurate and false.

Color me green and white, but I guess I don't understand the obsession with teddy Roosevelt or what influence he had on the university of north Dakota.
