KWCAT Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Howdy! This KWCAT from MSU. I want to introduce myself and welcome you to a discussuion here and on Bobcat Nation. A thread has been started there on our rivalry. I welcome all who want to come and discuss the subject there as well as here. As a MonDak native who was recruited(years ago) to UND for football, and with many family ties in Badlands, I like the idea of promoting the annual contest to a bigger event status. Bubba has you guys on the right track. Here's the link. http://bobcatnation.com/bobcatbb/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=37713 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSioux Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think you will see more UND fans start to make the trip west as the rivalry matures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's not a rivalry yet. I think we are closer to the Griz and PSU being rivals. The games have been too friendly with the Cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games have been too friendly with the Cats. As UND starts beating these teams you will see something develop. You could see how much the loss bothered MSU last year. Other teams and canvases have to feel threatened before they take interest in the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their QB's strange rant at the press conference afterwards is how some rivalries start. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak78 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We will play the Bobcats every year no so with the Griz. the yearly game will lend itself to a good rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWCAT Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 With the ties I have with UND fan base, I will see if I can work towards expanding our tailgate that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple games against MSU have been good ball games with some drama. But rivalry type drama? PSU: first game we got their d coordinator fired, second game was a defensive battle, third game was another defensive battle with us stopping them on the last play for like the 3 yard line, and this year was a great slobber knocker of a game and we tainted their record. Montana: us passing for 10000 yards on them, them blowing our doors off and going for two when up huge late in the game, then we knock out their golden boy rapist qb and all the other drama at the end of that one, then they blow our secondary apart with a third string QB. The Griz fans think we're a dirty team and below them. And PSU is always a good hard game. That's why they're our rivals in the big sky right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 1000%, but Montana didn't think we'd win until we busted their chops and they wanted it this year. Gotta think the same for MSU this upcoming year. They were not happy. Seems some fun things are developing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of the Bakken Bowl name just because it is only part of the Williston Basin. Maybe Power Bowl, Border Bowl, Prairie Bowl.... Then a trophy to match. The Missouri River starts in the Gallatin Valley and encompasses much of ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys close to the Griz program were told they were resting a bunch of players when we took them to the wire in the Alerus. Griz don't respect our program.....
