There were Bison fans in 2003?

There were a couple, I think they had 10 fans by 2010, they didn't join the bandwagon until 2011.

Did you guys say that in 2001? Never say never.

Of course he did.  Bison Dick is a model of consistency.

He's been trying to overcompensate for his inadequacies since wayyyy before that. 

SPS is formidable.  Just ask him.

I won a track trophy in high school.  I think I'll take it on a tour of eastern Colorado towns...

If they were going to Brookings then they woulds have a beef. But Sioux Falls?

WTH.  I can see putting a trophy in the Fargo Scheels store but that's about it.  Would of thought marketing for Scheels would of been a little brighter but sometimes arrogance clouds good judgment.

Something you guys won't ever have to worry about.

I guess we can parade around our 7 div 1-A upper tier natty trophies in just ONE sport to NDSU's  how many div 1-A upper tier natty trophies (I'm not talking lower tier div titles here) for ALL sports?

They must of had reason to believe that their are a certain amount of Bison fans in the areas they took them to?  Thats pretty easy to determine with the sales of Bison gear. Plus NDSU would have information on who lives where due to ticket sales and donations.  I wouldnt call it arrogance when they are Doing this for NDSU fans. Nobody is making anyone go to the stores to look at the trophies. Plus most people probably wouldnt even notice if they werent looking for it.

Let's not bash the FCS, after all we play and fight for an FCS Championship just like NDSU does. I would be very impressed and proud if we can win 5 hell 1 FCS title. 2001 was a great year for this program and hopefully we have many more like it.

NDSU pro-day is live on NFL Network.  Great to see all the promotion for UND

Shows how much all that 'ESPN time' they have gotten really meant out in Bristol.  Nobody even knows what their logo is.

I guess Wentz played for SDSU.

According to the Bison News Only (Fargo Forum) Carson Wentz woke up and ate breakfast today!

Just keeping you in-forumed.....

But I hear Wentz made the cover of SI.   Too bad SI didn't put our hockey team on front after the title win.

[CMSioux]

Now the BNO says "Be patient with Wentz". Yah like that is gonna happen in Philadephia. I do wish him the best but leave it to the Forum lackies to start backpedaling before pre-season even starts.

Bradford being a big baby about the Eagles getting Wentz. Isn't answering his phone and will not go to OTA's. Poor thing. You would thing this would motivate him to take charge and have his best season as a pro. I guess not.

It's a business.  He knows they aren't bringing him back no matter what.  He's looking out for himself.  This isn't high school or college anymore.  Why risk getting injured before getting a long term deal.  Have his best season somewhere else and make them regret reading the farm.

Bradford isn't exactly a top notch QB. He's not going anywhere. Suck it up and act like a professional.

There are plenty of teams who would take a chance with him.  Why risk getting injured this year? Let the Eagles sink or swim with Wentz.  They need the draft picks.  It's not college anymore.

Nobody was interested in picking him up before he was going to be a FA. I cant believe Philly paid him that much money for a QB who has basically done zip during his career. Plus whose going to take the load and cap of his contract?

 

He signed a contract. He needs to put his big boy pants on and come to camp and compete. Problem is he doesnt want to compete. He wants the job given to him.

In a perfect world he should compete.  In the sports world, someone else will give him a shot and why should risk injury.   Everyone knows they are not bringing him back no matter what.   Why bye Wentz more time when he could compete with 10 other QBs in the league for a starting job.

You think maybe what Philly told him before he signed his contract and what they did after are maybe two different things and that is why he is upset? They traded away a bunch of picks that could have improved the team to draft his replacement who will get every benefit of the doubt. Can't imagine why he'd be upset to risk his health with zero guarantees. He's in line to get paid nicely for it but for a very short term.
