moser53 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You must have missed the interview after the CSU game then. Ya I missed that. Is Taylor the one not wanting to play the game? Dos he still have hard feelings from tha RT era. SU and ther fans say it's about not wanting to lose money by having to play in GF once every 4 years. Who knows all we know is they won't sign a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A loss to sdsu means one less win on the season and makes it harder to make the playoffs. A loss to Und means humiliation for an entire year for losing to a school who doesn't care as much about football and is always 'less talented' and o by the way has been your most hated rival for a hundred years. The only thing that can knock ndsu off of its high horse right now is Und and they know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjamz Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 100% agree!!! Me too.... which is why I'm glad he's our AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjamz Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I wish Bison fans would realize that UND's schedule is full. Not true... .you have one open spot and a chance at 12 total games. Next year is one of the rare years when this can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FargoBison Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You can keep him. Keeping a grudge for 10 years now. Very childish. I don't think he isn't scheduling UND because of a grudge anymore, there is just no point in him locking into a long term home and home series if he doesn't have to. As long as his scheduling methods work I don't see him straying from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg2009 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 T or F: When UND eventually plays NDSU in the Fargodome, the all-time single game attendance record is broken. I believe that record was just broken this season, and I feel it would likely be surpassed in the case of UND. vs. NDSU in the regular season or playoffs. F It took homecoming against a top ranked-marque opponent to barely beat the old record. A playoff game will certainly not break it, as staff and bands do not count toward attendance. Ya I missed that. Is Taylor the one not wanting to play the game? Dos he still have hard feelings from tha RT era. SU and ther fans say it's about not wanting to lose money by having to play in GF once every 4 years. Who knows all we know is they won't sign a contract. last i checked, NDSU offered the every other year, every 4th year at home contract, and was rejected by UND, who would only accept an annual contract.

mg2009 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Quite obvious they have never had to deal with ticket demand/premium pricing before the past couple years. They are only costing themselves money that people would gladly give them. Whatever. at current price/demand points, all NDSU tickets to every game are underpriced.

jdub27 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not true... .you have one open spot and a chance at 12 total games. Next year is one of the rare years when this can happen. UND, like many other teams, is sticking with 11 games. UND's other open week is the last week of the season. That would give UND 12 straight games with no bye week. That would be terrible scheduling. last i checked, NDSU offered the every other year, every 4th year at home contract, and was rejected by UND, who would only accept an annual contract. Originally, yes. But now that UND is in the Big Sky, Faison has also agreed that would be the best way to restart the series. Faison stated he was sending that exact contract and there hasn't been a peep from GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison73 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 When I see Gene Taylor interviewed to me he comes off as a decent guy. Is it the SU Administration that doesn't want the game or it outside forces. I believe it's the later. I think it's the big football doners and teammakers that don't want the game. Taylor is left dealing with the spin. Just one man's opinion could be wrong. Long year for some in Fargo when they lose to the guys up north. The majority of fans and Teammakers I know would like to play the game. But not every year. The hangup seems to be conflicting dates and priority scheduling a FBS game and getting at least 5-6 home games. So IMO its mainly adminisrtative issues that are the road block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg2009 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 i think the only way to do it will be to do 2 game series as its available. I think that's the only way it should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Do we know that to be fact? If that were true the media would have been all over it. If GT were to sign it then 2015 would be the first game and there would be so much hype and a UND-NDSU gameday countdown on the WDAY website. But obviously he did not sign it and so Dom Izzo and the SU media is bringing this up and will bring it up next year. And since it will be brought up next year lets look at the schedules: 2014: UND NDSU at San Jose State at Iowa State Aug 30 vs Robert Morris vs Montana Sept 6 OPEN OPEN Sept 13 OPEN OPEN Sept 20 OPEN (Oct 18th) vs USD (OOC) Nov 22nd 12 game season.

Matt Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I just don't give a s**t anymore. With the direction the ncaa seems to be going in early round matchups, I've no doubt the game is gonna happen-in the playoffs. Even in past years the ac has been matched up vs the BSC. I'm just fine with that. Besides, that will give the road team a bigger ticket allotment for the game anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want the game to be played so they can run a story on everything and anything to do with the game. This would be bigger than Frisco coverage done by KVLY. I would love to see the game happen, and it will but what is tiring is the excuses by GT, and that is what the Fargo Forum exposed and the SU fans got uptight about. How dare you blast our new God (he replaced the old God called Champman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmog Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Even though I moved to Dallas a few years ago, I have Viking's season tickets...have for 15 years now. I go to the the PAcker's game every year just because I feel it's my duty to support the team and to make sure a Cheesehead doesn't end up sitting in my seats. But I never enjoy the game, even when the Vikings win. The rivalry is too intense and the atmosphere is just plain nasty and uncomfortable. I've never been to a Packer game where there wasn't a fight, or two, nearby. Both Viking and Packer fans generally behave horribly. If I had my choice the Vikings would never play the Packers again. I feel the same way about the Bison playing UND. No matter who wins, the game is unpleasant. I hope the two teams never play again - both teams would be better off, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like seeing guys acting like idiots on the field. Also hate the attitude hockey has towards chippy. If two guys go at each other after a whistle, penalize them. Or give them the boot. The douchebaggery would stop instantly. What I'd like to hear is would UND fans rather lose the NDSU rivalry in ALL sports to keep playing Minnesota two times a year in teh hockies or play NDSU in ALL sports and never get to play the Mighty Gophs again.
