darell1976 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Has UND beaten an FCS playoff team yet? Not until this year.
UNDBIZ Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Not until this year. UNI a long time ago? Forgot how well they finished.
SiouxMD Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 UNI a long time ago? Forgot how well they finished. UNI finished 7-4 and didn't make the playoffs that year (2006).
JohnboyND7 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Its also on AGS started by a Bison fan, went about 4 or 5 pages before one single UND fan commented on it. I love the argument UND needs NDSU more than NDSU needs UND, and the game should ONLY be played in Fargo. Well how about this rebuttal on that....UND and NDSU's schedule is full in 2014, but 2015-2018 UND has 1 spot to fill per year so 4 spots for 4 years, NDSU has on average 2-3 spots empty per year so 8-12 spots for 4 years, and with teams backing out of home and homes on them, plus the price for a team coming to Fargo (remember Bison fans say the team CANNOT go on the road), I would think NDSU needs UND to fill that void without fear of a backout and without charging outrageous prices to come to Fargo. So when GT schedules another Ferris State or brings in Prairie View for 500,000 (prices do go up every year), lets see how long it takes him to give Faison a call to schedule a home and home. If NDSU is paying $500,000 for a home game, that means we are more than likely in a BCS conference(not happening obviously)....or is this game in about 10-20 years?

To be fair, FU had to bring in Ferris (Wheel) State because they had to find a last-minute replacement and that is all that was left. I don't think they are happy about it at all.

How much was Prairie View last year and how much was Ferris this year? Just saying if not that high pretty close to it, since you have to add inflation and more teams saying no to NDSU.

I don't think they are happy about it at all. 2 years 2 buyouts...not a good track record. I think GT either won't schedule any home and homes or make the price one million for a buyout.

Where is the guarantee that UND wouldn't buy out like MSU did this year?
fightingsioux4life Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 2 years 2 buyouts...not a good track record. I think GT either won't schedule any home and homes or make the price one million for a buyout. I believe Bunning's track record was even worse. Thank God we have Faison now; he has done a solid job of avoiding buyouts.
darell1976 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Where is the guarantee that UND wouldn't buy out like MSU did this year? Faison hasn't bought out a game yet, plus its been done to UND twice since 2009 (Idaho St, Central Arkansas), I don't think he wants the rep like those teams.
darell1976 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I believe Bunning's track record was even worse. Thank God we have Faison now; he has done a solid job of avoiding buyouts. Wasn't the buyout from Idaho St like 10k or something ridiculous, he had to be the worst AD UND has ever had.
fightingsioux4life Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Wasn't the buyout from Idaho St like 10k or something ridiculous, he had to be the worst AD UND has ever had. I think it was 20K or 25K. Those numbers might work with Mayville State or UM-Crookston, but not an FCS program.
Oxbow6 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Wasn't the buyout from Idaho St like 10k or something ridiculous, he had to be the worst AD UND has ever had. Not even an argument to be made with that last statement, but the guy could do push-ups like Jack Lalanne...minus the juicer!
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Where is the guarantee that UND wouldn't buy out like MSU did this year? UND is going to buyout of an NDSU game? Anything can happen, but I would say there is a .000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance that would ever happen!!
fightingsioux4life Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Not even an argument to be made with that last statement, but the guy could do push-ups like Jack Lalanne...minus the juicer! And in 2005, they put him in the entrance video for our home games! I think that must have jinxed us vs. Omaha.
JohnboyND7 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 How much was Prairie View last year and how much was Ferris this year? Just saying if not that high pretty close to it, since you have to add inflation and more teams saying no to NDSU. Not sure on Prarie View but I think Ferris was like $180,000. And if we add inflation, I presume that means ticket prices are also going up to account for the extra coin spent on bringing teams in for the woodshed beating.
darell1976 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Not even an argument to be made with that last statement, but the guy could do push-ups like Jack Lalanne...minus the juicer! I did get a kick out of him doing the push-ups. HGH was kicking in.
scpa0305 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Two teams that would have probably beat UND like the red-headed stepchildren that they are. If your only hope at beating NDSU is the "miracle" game, shows how different the programs are. Dokay now....you are pepping up an FCS team are you not? Lets get real here.
homer Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Where is the guarantee that UND wouldn't buy out like MSU did this year? You serious?
Gothmog Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 UND is going to buyout of an NDSU game? Anything can happen, but I would say there is a .000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance that would ever happen!! Who backed out of the annual game in 2003? That's not that long ago. Why should NDSU believe that there won't be a repeat performance?
homer Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Who backed out of the annual game in 2003? That's not that long ago. Why should NDSU believe that there won't be a repeat performance? Answer- No one. They played in 2003. UND won. 1
Gothmog Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Answer- No one. They played in 2003. UND won. Answer- No one. They played in 2003. UND won. OK, 2004. Doesn't change the point.
homer Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 OK, 2004. Doesn't change the point. Was there a contract for a game in 2004? I don't know the answer for certain.
Shawn-O Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 This game ain't happening on Taylor's watch, plain and simple. Go on the road for a check, book a couple of tomato cans at home. UND doesn't fit the formula...although listening to the FU collective you'd think they'd want a tomato can like UND at home.
Gothmog Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Was there a contract for a game in 2004? I don't know the answer for certain. Oh c'mon, do we really have to go through this again? You know what happened ... UND welched on a commitment at the last minute. Strikingly similar to what Montana State did to NDSU this year (although they weren't nearly as big of dicks about it). Now you expect us to believe that UND would never, ever do that ... again?
