[legend334]

bison 123456789ZERO......what is your name??? you forgot one key element to having the NICKEL trophy.......you have to earn it.....win it!!!!!! EARN IT!!!!!!!....helllllooooooooooo.......you lost again......that nickel will be where it has been the last one million times that the BISON have tried to come and get it....figure it out!!!!!!! if the BISON would have won the game.....a very big IF....you could do whatever you wanted with it...but you didnt...so go cry on the bisonville.com board about how great you guys were this year and how you beat Montana......but didnt make it to the playoffs.......cuz THE SIOUX FANS DONT WANNA HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!! as Eric Schmidt would say....here comes another NATTY......GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diggler]

Yes you did win. You won the right to display the trophy at your school until the next game is played. You didn't win 100% legal ownership.

Well ring-a-ding-ding, you're right. So we don't have to pay you for half of the trophy. We'll just hold onto it until UND-NDSU play again.

[Bisonfan1234]

I've only said that we demanded payment for the nickel if UND wanted to do something with our half that we didn't approve of and if they wanted to do it.

If you just want to hang on to it and do nothing with it for a while, be my guest.

[PCM]

Your half? You'll have to go through Digger to get it.

[CoteauRinkRat]

that is a great pic

[UNA]

No wonder everyone has been fighting so much over that da** thing. That is one big nickel.

[PCM]

75 pounds, I believe.

[Bisonfan1234]

Digger would hurt me permanately.

[PCM]

That's what I'm sayin'.

[bisonguy]

75 pounds, I believe.

Bingo!

The Nickel Trophy, 2,500 times larger than a regular five-cent piece and weighing 75 pounds, was inaugurated in 1938 and is presented each fall to the winner of the North Dakota/North Dakota State football contest. Two inches thick and 22 inches in diameter, it is an exact replica of the once-minted U.S. coin. It has been the object of many intercampus raids, recoveries, and more thefts.

75 Pounds and 75 Miles NORTH!!! Eat it Bison Fans!! The nickel is ours until the playing field is level again! Now go and play with yourselves!!

[Bisonfan1234]

I think maybe he was suggesting that i was younger versus don't make alot of money.

[sioux7]

I'm not talking about winning it.

I'm talking about buying it.

That's not what major colleges do dumbass. Since you guys are the big d1aa you should know that. You play for it on the field. SInce UND beat the bissssssson this year we own it. And since we have defeated you more times than you have defeated us that makes it even more ours. LOLOOLLOOLOLOL. That is too good! "we payed for half of it." WTF! oh man stop! I'm dying here of laughter!

Actually, we legally own 50% of it. However, NDSU has no problem with UND displaying it there until the next game is played as per the agreement.

We ae never giving it up legally or illegally......unless your punks beat us on the field.

We could legally demand the half back (although we would probably then have to pay for the seperation and shipping).

Dave - age doesn't matter all that much.

[Brent_Bobyck]

First of all, you don't have to be young to work at Hornbachers... and even if you are young, I don't see how that is relevant to this discussion.

Dave,

First of all, settle down. If someone can't take someone else poking fun then don't come on here. It was a simple joke and I am sorry you are not old enough to realize that. I never meant any harm. SO quit playing Dad and stick to sports.

Bison1234,

How do you figure you legally own it?? Do you have a title to it? No one person owns it, unless you count the UND alum that donated it. If anything he probably wouldn't have any problems with UND holding on to it.

[Bisonfan1234]

I read somewhere that a fraternity on each school owns 50% of it.

[Brent_Bobyck]

I would serious doubt that. They would have taken stolen it every year and spray painted their letters on it.

[Bisonfan1234]

This is just the legal ownership.

There is also an agreement that the school that wins will be allowed to display the trophy at their school until the next game is played.

[MinnesotaNorthStar]

Your half? You'll have to go through Digger to get it.

Didn't they try that this year...I believe it was 4th and 1, and Digger stopped them cold.

[bisonguy]

It's the Blue Key Honor Society from each university that owns the Nickel. I doubt they are known for their keggers. What happened to the Blue Key at UND? I think that's where the confusion of NDSU owning the Nickel stems from, as only NDSU has a Blue Key anymore.

[Bisonfan1234]

I thought so.

So as you can see, legal ownership is 50% for both schools.

[Brent_Bobyck]

I'm actually pretty old... old enough to remember when the Bison were better than the Sioux.

Exactly. When was the last time the Bison were better than the Sioux? At least 15 years ago. You must be pretty old.
