CAS4127 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Oh I forgot that ndsu is on top of the football world and deserved for the news to be released when they were ready for it to be. You are correct when it comes to UND and its POS AD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 No one gives two shyts about UND football. It's a bit different in Fargo in case you haven't noticed. Media expectations. What? They have never held a presser about a future game before. Your argument is completely wrong. UND didn't even hold a presser for such a HUGE game but NDSU did for a game they do not care about (supposedly). If NDSU didn't care about the game why did they hold a presser? Essentially your saying that signing a contract with UND was bigger media wise than when they inked Minnesota, K-State, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one made me chuckle. Hate to spoil your joke here....but nobody outside of small town schools even knows the FCS exists. Second tier football is tough to watch unless it's the only thing to watch I guess. When does hockey start up? Sorry to all the UND football fans...but this is an accurate statement. I just hate hearing Bison fans think they are some sort of top tier football team. Top tier football teams play in top tier leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you read for comprehension?! As I posted earlier, have a quick presser to handle the media and get back to focusing on beating "ANOTHER" FCS/Big 12 team and ANOTHER national championship run. We did not want this to be a distraction and have multiple media asking the same questions to coaches as they are focusing on practices and preparing our team. Easier to just have a quick presser and be done with issue. Pretty simple really. No need for UND to have a presser because their focus is much less lofty--like win more than 4 games or something.

From what I gather, UND hockey has been pretty second tier (in a 54 team league) of late save for that lucky run at the end of last year. Amirite?!

I was unaware you could only schedule one non conference game per season. How does scheduling UND affect their other non conference scheduling.

Amirite?! Haha, not really. Nice try. Don't get me wrong, I do like the small school rivalries and all and did cheer for the Bison to win those FCS natty's, however, Bison fans telling Sioux fans their teams are garbage is like the JV Mandan team telling the JV Langdon teams they are garbage. I just thought it was comical. There is only one top tier college sport in ND and that's at UND and it's hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 When I heard NDSU called a press conference I thought for sure it was because they were basically firing their women/s athletic director today. She has lead their women's basketball and volleyball teams to such great success lately you know. Did they even mention that situation? Their athletic director had lots of problems if I remember.

When the contract was signed, why should UND have to wait to announce it? We have a game a week from today. Get the announcement out of the way and move on. Plus, the breaking news came from the Fargo media. You sure UND leaked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A press release would have accomplished what you are talking about. The press conference was more than what was needed. Can you say, "Overcompensation"?

And some of you wonder why your football team sucks!! I'm not going to lose sleep over it. From what I have read here the arrogance is coming from the Bison fans. Like I said earlier, I cheered for the Bison to win those natty's. More out of pride for the state. I am more of a D-1A football fan. I simply think it's a good idea for these two teams to play. I just find it odd there could be such arrogance from a fanbase at this level of play. This decision seems obvious to me, however by no means am I an FCS expert.
