breakin face Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Well we got our first banner guys! The boys down south may be a little scorned though. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/238690/group/Sports/ Can't believe the NCAA would be this inept, nevermind. Quote
nodak651 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Beginning to think we may be ranked number one in the preseason polls this year... Quote
dmksioux Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 We should make them come up to GF and play us before giving it back. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 When and where is UND hosting the "banner burning?" Quote
darell1976 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Its called motivation...show it to all the players on this fall's team and tell them...we could have one of these with our school name on it. Quote
jodcon Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Perfect timing the day after the name is voted out. "We are the NCAA...and we care about YOU!" Quote
jodcon Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 The letter was even addressed to Faison, it wasn't just misshipped. That's even worse. What a joke. Quote
Risky Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 With all the Division 1 National Champions UND has maybe the NCAA isn't aware there is another University in North Dakota in Fargo. That is way to funny. Quote
UNDColorado Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 This is way too funny; I can't believe that they even addressed the letter to Faison! Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Keep is hostage until Gene Taylor comes up with a contract in hand to schedule the football games!! Quote
zonadub Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Keep it with the Nickel Trophy. The NCAA just keeps impressing us, doesn't it? Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Lol, I find it quite amusing. Poor NDSU, they win a national title and the NCAA doesn't even care enough to know which school won the FCS championship! My guess is they forgot and figured they had a 50/50 chance of shipping it to the correct school. Woops. Quote
Hayduke Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I have to admit one thing about this mess. Why didn't Faison call Gene Taylor before announcing to the press what happened? As much as I joke about NDSU and that FCS thing, that doesn't sit right with me. He should have called him and explained what happened BEFORE announcing to the press that they had that banner and he will call Taylor and let him know about it. I think that was a bit classless.

In the interview this morning on the twin cities station he said that somebody leaked it out and reporters were there taking pictures right away. He did call him so no reason to jump to conclusions.

GeauxSioux Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Nice piece from CBS Sports... NCAA accidentally ships North Dakota State's championship banner to North Dakota In the NCAA's defense, both North Dakota and North Dakota State are relatively new to the FCS – the division formerly known as "I-AA" – having just made the transition from Division II in 2008 and 2004, respectively. Before last year's playoff run, NDSU had only briefly appeared on the national radar in embarrassing upsets of Minnesota and Kansas; UND is still known mainly for its first-rate hockey program and the ongoing battle over its controversial mascot, the "Fighting Sioux." Then again, both schools have been fielding football teams on some level since the eighteen-nineties. Quote
Uncle_Rico Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Advice to the NCAA. Remove head from a$$ when sending championship banners. 1 Quote
CMSioux Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Hmmm. I guess we know which university the state of North Dakota is known for. I don't think that Flagship status is going anywhere soon. 2 Quote
firewall Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Ouch! That has got to be a punch in the gut for Gene Taylor. Never-the-less, a good laugh at this end. Quote
Taz Boy Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Seriously. We dropped our nickname for this? taz lovin the glory of the FCS Quote

Just mark it down as another classless move by UND's athletic dept. What do they have Nelson on speed dial? What's the up side, to embarass the NCAA? That's a smart move. Hope they got a good look at it, probably be the one and only they handle... Quote

With 7 D1 national championship banners already, I doubt the UND athletic dept is in awe of this FCS banner. Quote

I think the NCAA did a fine job of embarassing themselves. 1 Quote
