darell1976 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The 2015 date was conveniently still left open. Won't be surprised if a deal is signed for 2015 in Fargo and 2019 in Grand Forks. That allows NDSU to Grand Forks in a 12 game season. Not real concerned about it either way. Obviously they can schedule road games in 11 game seasons why wait til 2019? I agree with you on not concerning, it will be only be concerning if UND had a hard time filling out their schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Gene Taylor will go down in history as the administrator who was afraid to take his football team to Grand Forks. He was so afraid to sign a deal for a game at UND that he ended up looking phony. He talked in circles so many times about why he could never get the game scheduled that he just kept looking more ridiculous all the time. A person could write a book about all the different reasons why the game didn't happen. The only problem was for every reason he said the game didn't happen he did just the contrary with another school. Definitely a black mark on his legacy. It is sad when hatred affects your ability to make wise decisions for what most of the people of North Dakota want. Ask Bison fans if that's how he'll be remembered.... 1. Took us D1 2. Hired Bohl and Miles 3. 2 dance trips and 3 football titles. No particular order on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Many solid responses here. I was on record after they scheduled Weber saying that all excuses and reasoning for not scheduling UND is null and void. Then they go and Schedule EWU. This is comical because for years I have heard every excuse in the book from the FU faithful: Our scheduling model, UND game wont make enough revenue, Big Sky isn't in our recruiting footprint, I can go on and on. Instead of scheduling a true rival only 70 miles away they schedule teams that are over a thousand miles away for no payday. GT was clearly the problem even though FU fans won't admit it. Excuses to not schedule UND before were pure BS...now it is borderline insanity. This is incredibly stupid and makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who has half a brain. Bring on the excuses trolls, I would love to hear your spin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also on record saying that I am not for or against playing the game, but this has become borderline madness. I think games with those teams are great. Think about it for a second...We play MVFC OOC games meanwhile FU plays BSC OOC games...but we never play each other. Incredibly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phoenix Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You guys need to help this NDSU fan out: Why do you feel entitled to play NDSU; particularly have NDSU come to the potato dome?

Nobody is saying he doesn't have a wonderful legacy in a lot of areas, but to a large group of people they will remember his weaknesses and the shortcomings he showed too. He will definitely be remembered for the childlike actions he displayed too. Just remember. Boys will be boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't a coincidence that 2015 was left open. The games will be scheduled and it will be a home/home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Dakota population & western Minnesota population's interest. Open schedule dates. Immense revenue and attendance for out of conference game. Template put in place by other OOC rivals across the country. etc. etc. etc. The reasons go on and on. Get the d*mn thing done and scheduled. It would be done annually if the people at NDSU were even slightly coherent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with NDSU playing EWU. Their fans are thrilled to play EWU. We play EWU all the time so that is not a big deal. It is has more to do with making all the excuses over the years given by NDSU look less than credible. The bottom line is it sure good to see Bison fans excited to play the BSC. It is definitely a premier conference. It is where NDSU wanted to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought the first game will have to be in the playoffs and it's UNDs job to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
