As for NDSU football vs Rose Bowl, if only UND hockey could be so lucky to be competitively compared to upper level competition (NHL games?). Hell, the NCAA hockey regionals are typically half empty.

Because Yankee fans would all wish the Red Sox good luck in the world series....

And Auburn is really rooting for BAMA in the FBS....

Sigh.....

This is in terms of attendance and ticket availability/price, not level of play. Level of play is not easily comparable, if at all possible.

My point is NDSU playoff games, such as the one being played tonight, are not half empty. 

Nor are the semi-finals of the NCAA hockey tournament, regardless who is involved, which are played at a neutral site. But now you're moving the goalposts by using a single program instead of the entire subdivision. To prove the point, at this very moment, I could purchase 4 tickets on the 50 yard line, 3 rows up for a the other semi-final match-up. Total cost after fees: $125 total.

I’m not interested in comparing NCAA hockey to FCS football in the context of this thread, as I clearly stated in my previous posts. It always ends in UND looking foolish. 

If you really want to, feel free to message me the actual average attendance of the NCAA hockey semi-finals. These are neutral site games whereas FCS playoffs are not (thus not entirely comparable). What is the average attendance of the NCAA hockey championship game versus FCS football championship game (as both are neutral site games) along with viewership numbers?

I will definitely be cheering for one SU tonight and not the other!

[UND1981]

Go Wabbits!  I can't cheer for the Buffalo.

That is much cheaper than Bob Seger and a fraction of Jimmey Buffett/Eagles...

Is this new with hockey seats half full....

If I thought their fan base would wish us luck in the Frozen Four, I might (just might) wish them luck. But we both know that will never, ever happen.

Half their fans were at the frozen four

Good luck to NDSU’s two head coaches tonight. 

I hope they both lose

Do you mind posting something like this again? I don't think anyone understood your point. 

One person compared the speed in hiring a new head coach in one sport at NDSU to another coach in another sport at UND.  It wasn't a hockey vs football fight, but your insecurity has shown through once again and now the thread is dominated by a topic you introduced but continue to decry.

That was not my initial post nor my initial interest. You have simply picked a subsequent reply that fits your narrative. 

As to not confuse those who have trouble reading all the posts before commenting, here are the first two paragraphs I posted which explain my stance:

 Who cares about Hakstol, Berry, NCAA hockey, hockey-obsessed UND-ignorant Las Vegas-based donors, etc. in the context of this discussion??

UND hockey has no place in this current discussion. FCS Football and NCAA hockey are really becoming (and I guess always have been) apples to oranges comparisons. 

 

As such, I’m not touching NCAA hockey when discussing FCS football. Too much bias here for that. I’m only interested in quantitive data as to avoid the hockey bias that doesn’t line up with reality.

It wasn’t supposed to be a hockey vs football fight, but some turned it into one by replying to my post (which stated UND football should be compared to NDSU football, obviously enough). 

This is a FCS football (no mention of hockey) thread.

 

If for some reason you can’t find my first post, here it is:

Who cares about Hakstol, Berry, NCAA hockey, hockey-obsessed UND-ignorant Las Vegas-based donors, etc. in the context of this discussion??

UND hockey has no place in this current discussion. FCS Football and NCAA hockey are really becoming (and I guess always have been) apples to oranges comparisons. 

We all know which is more popular (hint: which sport is more popular). Although I love UND dearly, I hate the comparisons between FCS Football and NCAA hockey. For one, they always end with UND’s fans looking beyond stupid. It is what it is. You’ll only hear “JV football” and “big boy real DI like UND hockey” come from the mouths of jealous, ignorant UND hockey fans. No one else. Face it folks, NDSU’s FCS football success has earned them more popularity than UND men’s ice hockey ever could. Going to Vegas or NYC once every few seasons for a bought destination game (not earned) doesn’t justify that either. I just hope UND’s football program can start reaching the postseason for a start ...

Simplification from next post:

Bottomline: unless you can prove how comparing an NCAA hockey program to an FCS football program makes more sense than comparing two FCS football programs head-to-head, keep UND hockey out of this football discussion. You can go to the hockey thread if you wish to expand.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. A friend posted this on FB yesterday.

One seat is on the 35 yard line in a stadium of 18,000, the second one is nosebleed end zone in a stadium of 100,000+.  Look at the 35 yard line for the rose bowl, they are going for $550+.

Take that logic out of here. 

[Fry Bread]

This thread has kind of devolved into a hockey vs football thread. 

Probably the closest we could get to a apple to apple comparison is to have the Sioux hockey team and the Bison football team suit up in tennis shoes, meet on a basketball court, and have a soccer game.

I'm sorry for bringing up the passing of the torch, if I would of only thunk?

When does this Bama, I mean NDSU start televising.  So far just wrestling.  I didn't know Bama had a wrestling team.
