      129
    • On occassion, but not annually
      43
    • No, we've gone our separate ways so let's focus on building new rivalries
      48

This game won't happen - by not playing, su maintains the only advantage they have - the unknown. Thinking back to the last 10 years of the rivalry they were pretty confident every year they were going to win - how did that work out for them. They can't take the chance of playing UND and losing. (perhaps I'll get some fantasy points out of this post).

su vs UND

Most wins: UND

Last 10 years of rivalry: UND

Last head to head: UND

But that's DII. Oh by the way 8>1. :silly:

That's just ridiculous! NDSU asked UND (and the whole NCC) to move up with them....even waited an extra year to give them time. Why would they do that if their purpose was to get gain an advantage on UND?

NDSU moved up because DI was where it belonged. It's pretty hard to argue that NDSU was wrong.

If NDSU were to move up without asking UND look how that would be looked at in the eyes of the media, the legislature, the SBoHE. There would be more a crapstorm it would make the NDSU housing scandal look like a sprinkle.

Who has a better hockey program UND or U of M?

Probably would have looked just fine.

You really don't see that what you're saying doesn't make any sense? The bottom line is that if UND had moved with NDSU when NDSU asked (and they clearly should have), NDSU would have gained no advantage over UND by moving up ... thus defeating the supposed purpose of their moving in the first place.

Political pressure notwithstanding, NDSU officials asking UND to move up with them makes no sense if their real intent was to escape competition with UND.

Hmmm. 10 football national championships vs 1 isn't an advantage?

With 8 of those almost 30 years ago. Minnesota won a title in the 60's and earlier where is their advantage? The point was the what have you done lately. 1991-2003, 2008-2010....zero titles and what a handful of playoff appearances? UND had 1 title in 2 tries, and playoff appearances in almost every year since 1992, plus beating NDSU 10 out of the last 13 tries.

Spin it anyway you want. NDSU has BY FAR the more accomplished and respected football program. There's no need for NDSU to worry about how it looks in comparison to UND ... it wins hands down.

Off field-no

On field-yes

But yes NDSU fans worry about how it looks in comparison to UND.

Great - you've accomplished the daily goal of every su blogger that frequents this site - why don't you just take turns.

And that has to do with what? Craig Bohl lost in 2003 to Dale Lennon. Who made more?

Good question. Probably the guy who had been coaching longer...or at least that is how it should be.

Craig Bohl also has a couple of titles. Dale Lennon ran a great program into mediocrity.
