Yote 53 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Speaking of which, where is that nickel physically located? I asked our great President, Robert Kelly of UC Berkely where it was and he looked at me like I asked where he was hiding the WMD's. He said, "I guess I should know that." I asked another UND Prof if he knew and he said he had no clue. Wow, what pride. The Nickel, probably sitting next to Sitting Bull (the Trophy that should have NEVER been retired). Stupid PC'ers.

The Walrus Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 The Nickel, probably sitting next to Sitting Bull (the Trophy that should have NEVER been retired). Stupid PC'ers. The Nickel, Sitting Bull and the last National Title won by any North Dakota School, (D2 or higher-UND Football 2001) all sit in the same Trophy case....In Grand Forks Quote

It's hidden because NDSU students would break into the Sioux locker room to try and steal it even after they had gone DI. Quote

Because both NDSU and SDSU won national championships after that in other sports. Quote

SDSU is not in North Dakota last I checked.....? What National Title has NDSU won since 2001.....? The only other National Title in North Dakota that I am aware of since 2001 is Dickinson State Track (NAIA).....? Quote
Shawn-O Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 SDSU is not in North Dakota last I checked.....? What National Title has NDSU won since 2001.....?

Wrestling was the last one for NDSU in spring of 2001 I think. Speaking of wrestling, it's too bad that the UND program got scrapped due to Title IX. Quote

dakotadan Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Wow, time flies when your hating someone. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Quote

The Walrus Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Wow, time flies when your hating someone. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago. I'm just guessing but there are probably 30 National Titles in the last 20 years between UND and NDSU, I'm wondering what the next 20 years will bring.... Quote
The Walrus Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 NDSU won an Indoor Track title in 2002. According to GoBison.com......2002 NCAA Indoor Track tied for 10th.....? Quote
dakotadan Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Not that it has anything to do with this already off track thread, but the only non-UND/NDSU national championships/appearances I know of are: Minot State University Beavers 2002 NAIA Men's Cross Country National Champions 2003 NAIA Men's Cross Country National Champions Dickinson State University BlueHawks 2006 NAIA Men's Outdoor Track & Field National Champions Mayville State University Comets 2007 NAIA Men's DII Basketball National Runners-Up Quote
The Walrus Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Back on subject: When the rivalary is renewed, my guess is we will play for a "New" trophy. The Nickel will be retired with the nickname and logo..... Quote

FargoBison Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 According to GoBison.com......2002 NCAA Indoor Track tied for 10th.....? I probably should have said women's indoor.... http://www.gobison.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB...p;ATCLID=131044 I would hope the nickel can continue, it would be a shame to see it retired. Quote

darell1976 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 So who is going to win the first D1 title (not hockey) UND or NDSU??? In any sport. I would think UND with swimming and diving should have an edge we know its not basketball for either team...football maybe. Quote
darell1976 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I would think football is really the only option for either school to win a national championship taking into consideration the fact that it is the only sport that separates I-AA from the rest of D1. I wonder if the NCAA would get rid of the FCS and just have D1 football like basketball? Since congress was talking about a FBC playoff system and eliminating the BS i mean the BCS. Quote

I would think UND with swimming and diving should have an edge we know its not basketball for either team...football maybe. DI Hockey titles count. DI is DI. UND Swimming & Diving (men or women), although massively dominant in the NCC and DII, never won a DII National Championship. Get me about thirty 25-year-old Canadians (that's for our Goofie friends), some sticks, a couple nets, and the Alerus Center and I'll get you a DI mens lacrosse title. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I could see that one coming. Fish. Barrel. And clean out you PM inbox already. It's full so no more incoming for you. Quote
CMSioux Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Option 1: It should be retired and given to the state historical society, after all it represents one of the longest running football rivalries in the country. Option 2: UND should keep it, although because of the chance of it being stolen they probably would need to find a place way up high in the Alerus to display it under lock and key. They keep it because they own the overall won/loss record and they won the last meeting. Not an option: putting it back into circulation if the teams every play again. It will never again officially be the Sioux vs. Bison so a new trophy is in order. Perhaps a giant coin that has UND on one side and NDSU on the other. Quote
darell1976 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 With the enonomy in bad shape instead of a new Nickel trophy its now the Penny Trophy. Quote
krangodance Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I wonder if the NCAA would get rid of the FCS and just have D1 football like basketball? Since congress was talking about a FBC playoff system and eliminating the BS i mean the BCS. not a chance. the gap between great fbs teams and great fcs teams is much too large. talent in football is definitely spread across a wider spectrum than it is in other sports. look at hockey for example. just about every team in d1 has several players who are already pro material, that is not the case at all when you compare fbs football to the nfl. if one player on a given college football team could go pro, then that team is probably awesome. plus a football tournament can't really have more than 16 teams in it. even with 32 teams, you'd have to play five games to win it all. that's half the number of games they play in the entire regular season, which isn't going to happen. so with only 16 teams, you would never see a team currently playing fcs in the tournament, so what's the point? at least in basketball and hockey, you can win your conference and get in. football couldn't support that policy though. personally, i think they should just call the divisions what the are: fbs = d1 fcs = d2 d2 = d3 d3 = liberal arts college...focus on your studies Quote
