JohnboyND7 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Actually yes I do. In fact, last year at a small town ice bocce tourney in northern Minnesota in February that I attended, some undergrads put together a coed team of 4. Their "uniforms" were laced with "sioux suck" all over their bison-themed rags. They still attend FU. That's just one example off the top of my head. The other would be the student sections chanting "sioux suck" at all bison athletic events. All of them. Regardless who the play. Any more questions?... It's carried over somewhat. But I get ticket requests annually from students up north. They'll come down, put on an ndsu shirt, and cheer. Same happens with ndsu students for hockey. Have heard Sioux suck pretty much at football. Can't recall hearing it at basketball... Except at the 2010 game. I can walk around und wearing ndsu stuff and don't get dirty looks. Most crap I ever get is a "moo u" comment. Hardly qualifies as anything like auburn/Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 You mean the basketball game that continues to be both the highest priced and attended on NDSU's home schedule? I've been to each of them. Fewer and fewer at the game each time. I don't think that's a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FargoBison Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 First an unscheduled press conference to announce the games and now this: 9/12 - Weber State - $35 / $25 9/19 - North Dakota - $60 / $50 10/10 - Northern Iowa (Homecoming) - $40 / $30 10/17 - South Dakota - $35 / $25 11/7 - Western Illinois - $35 / $25 11/21 - Missouri State - $35 / $25 But remember folks, its no big deal to them, they were just filling an open date. And before the FU mensa club comes by and states they are just looking to gouge UND fans, NDSU is looking at giving Teammakers who don't have season tickets first crack at a good sized portion of single game tickets, it will be their own fans paying the "inflated" price for an unimportant out of conference game. Our women's basketball team thanks you for helping to pay for their cost of attendance stipends. Thanks Faison and Bubba, I will invite them over to toast over the crow I eat with some good whiskey. It is the least I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FargoBison Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 All things that will help push cost of attendance forward at NDSU, not my fault Faison cut us a sweetheart deal. Did you not think we would take full advantage of it? If NDSU is going to play this game, that was always the plan. It was the main reason to do it. Team makers will smash records next year.

southpaw Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Price of ticket seems indicative of what the athletic department thinks it's worth. I don't think this game's value will continue to be as high as some others think. I believe Hammersmith on bv put it well awhile back. Way too lazy to find the post but I believe the premise was that each time it's played, as long as the two are in different conferences, will be less and less of a big deal... Probably just a bigger version of the basketball game. I completely agree. The only reason UND/NDSU football was big in the past was because they were both in the NCC. Football and basketball are pretty similar in that neither school could ever hope for getting a bid to the postseason without winning their conference title. There also are a similar number of games in both sports, so a non-conference loss in football doesn't mean anything to either school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is perfectly fine for now, more power to them. Charging that much for season tickets and making fans pony up $100 minimum for the right is not sustainable. It's all tied to results on the field. At least it showed how much more important UND is than the rest of your schedule. That part is nice. You are only ripping off your own fans, so whatever dude. 17,500 of the ticket buyers are going to be NDSU's and the price was fixed into season tickets already.

FargoBison Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Honestly if NDSU wanted to they could charge much more for the UND game and the other games. That is just where demand is at right now, I think what they are doing is sustainable as long as they are investing back into the program(like cost of attendance for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game will be sold out, and scalping tickets will go for much more than $60. Can't wait, should be a really fun game day. NDSU has done a nice job improving their tailgating, and should make for a pretty fun time. Go Sioux! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 NDSU FB is doing just fine without playing UND - how's it going for UND since you moved up? It's worked out quite well for NDSU much to the disappointment of the UND athletic department with their idea that we'll not play NDSU in any sport and that will hurt them in their transition. Make no mistake that was their goal. It was your choice to quit playing so live with it. Look at all your sports this year in the BSC. How'd they do? How's it working for you? So you think the reason our transition in all our sports was due to not playing the Bison? We also stopped playing SDSU in all sports but they agreed to restart the series in 2010 because they weren't pricks about it, and actually had balls to schedule UND at the Alerus unlike FU. I guess when we restarted playing SDSU we did have a GWFC title, a dance trip by the UND women and a conference title in VB. Thanks Jackrabbits.

Siouxperman8 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Do you know any young people at UND or NDSU? Any animosity between the two groups of students is essentially nonexistent. Those are your future fans/donors/etc. I have two kids currently enrolled at UND and there is plenty of animosity toward NDSU from them. They also hate UM in hockey and we aren't in the same conference there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
