darell1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Everyone knows why there's no scheduling. UND won't schedule unless it's every year, NDSU won't schedule every year. I wouldn't mind it every year, even though we'd be losing the home game that would fill and bring the athletic deparment a good chunk of money every other year. The last contract that Faison was long to send to Gene Taylor wa for every other year...just like Taylor asked for all along.
darell1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The ramifications of moving up more than football? Our athletics are better now than they were then. Good football, solid men's bball, baseball appears to be pretty good, volleyball has been good in D-I, wrestling is good, track is pretty good, etc. But you are right, staying behind just to play against UND sounds like a better gig. Buyouts happen. It has happened to UND before no? You mean your football team is better now than it was since 1990. Your men's basketball team won 1 conference title and that was what 4 years ago, your women's basketball team sucks I don't know about the othe minor sports like baseball or volleyball. And yes UND has had two teams backout in 2009 it was Idaho State (game never got replaced) and last year Central Arkansas backed out ( replaced by Portland State).

You are really to compare your athletic sports to NDSU? Wow - which sport are you proud of? I won't bother to list all the sports that have made the big tournaments and their successes (soccer, SB, MBB, Track, FB, VB are a few. Which sport do you have that's going to any NCAA tournament this year or the near future?

How many championships have been won in sports other than football? How many tournament appearances?

Both the volleyball team and the men's basketball team will have legitimate chances at winning the Big Sky next year and the women's hockey team will make the NCAA tournament this year and have a chance to host a first round game.
dlsiouxfan Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 All UND fans need is patience. The game will likely not re-start without an act from the legislature. This is probably 5 years from happening. NDSU is going to end up shelling out $400K to replace the Western Carolina game and then Bresciani is going to piss and moan to the legislature about needing additional funding for the sewer of a university he runs. Even Bison fans like those on this website should understand that the optics of that are terrible, but perhaps I've once again overestimated their intelligence. 1

You just used "Bison fans" and "intelligence" in the same sentance!! We forgive you!!

You realize no state money is used to pay scheduling guarantees to opponents at neither UND nor the ac, right? I don't mind tarnishing the ac, but you're pandering to the lowest, uninformed, common denominator here.
Johnny Five Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Can we change the thread title to Who Has the Biggest Wiener?

I don't mind tarnishing the ac, but you're pandering to the lowest, uninformed, common denominator here. Yes, but your Average Joe on the street and in the ND legislature doesn't know that. All they'll see is NDSU shelling out $400K for an opponent and then Bresciani crying about funding in a different section of the newspaper. Your assuming that the ND populace is as informed as the people on this board when circumstances have proven that the vast majority are not.
geaux_sioux Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Can we change the thread title to Who Has the Biggest Wiener? Pleeeease we know the answer to that. How bout we change the topic to which is true free will or determinism?
darell1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Chicken or egg? What is Gene Taylor and the other is an egg.
jdub27 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Yes, but your Average Joe on the street and in the ND legislature doesn't know that.

And while state money isn't used directly, the athletic departments are subsidized in some shape or form.
Johnny Five Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 What is Gene Taylor and the other is an egg. I actually do not believe GT is chicken. Just arrogant, smug, etc.
darell1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I actually do not believe GT is chicken. Just arrogant, smug, etc. I know...just making a joke. I could put Don Lucia as the Chicken.
geaux_sioux Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I actually do not believe GT is chicken. Just arrogant, smug, etc. So it's cock or egg?
Johnny Five Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I know...just making a joke. I could put Don Lucia as the Chicken. I would agree with you if Lucia had scheduled Sacred Heart and American International instead of Boston College and Notre Dame. But let's leave that conversation out of here.
JohnboyND7 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 You mean your football team is better now than it was since 1990.

And yes UND has had two teams backout in 2009 it was Idaho State (game never got replaced) and last year Central Arkansas backed out ( replaced by Portland State). Football team is excellent. NDSU won basketball conference titles only 3 times in the 70's, 80's and 90's. They were never anything special. Been to the dance once, this year's team might be good enough to do it again. That would be two conference titles in five seasons(knock on wood). Our women's basketball is horrid right now. Was that poor scheduling by UND that those teams backed out on them? No. It happens. Teams flake. Bad luck. Do you honestly think moving to D-I was bad for NDSU or UND?
Hawkster Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 This thread is turning into a bigger train wreck than the FCS playoff one was. I'm not even sure why anyone even cares if we play any more and maybe everyone should just ignore it. Really, it's just the same old BS thrown back and forth. The Bison say we stopped playing them, and we say the Bison won't start playing us again. It's just time to look at what can be done in the Sky.
hockey1 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I know...just making a joke. I could put Don Lucia as the Chicken. Yeah right, Lucia is chicken of playing UND, a team he has beaten 5 out of the last 7 times they have played

Yes backouts suck everyone will agree to that. Was DI a bad move for NDSU or UND? It wasn't for UND since fans wanted to move with the SU's in 04. As for NDSU is hasn't affected them so I guess both are happy in DI. But let's say things would be different is RT and Kuppy weren't in charge in 04...that's why I don't get the grudge by GT. He is the only one on both sides that was there in 2004 and yet here we are today still without an instate rival game.
darell1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah right, Lucia is chicken of playing UND, a team he has beaten 5 out of the last 7 times they have played Ask Paul Allen if he thinks Lucia is scared of UND. That nickname excuse of Lucia doesn't hold water since UND was able to schedule Wisconsin. But that's for another thread.
WYOBISONMAN Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Yes backouts suck everyone will agree to that. Was DI a bad move for NDSU or UND?

Shawn-O Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 RT and Kuppy screwed the pooch for UND. Teammakers run that chess game, GT is a mere pawn.
