My brother was in Fargo at a Fargo North basketball game.  Said the place went silent after the fb game was final.

My son is at the Betty for the UND basketball game and there was a roar when the game ended even though there was no announcement.

Faison didn't allow the Bison FB score to be announced.  During breaks their were some yelling for it to be announced.  Crowd would have erupted which was needed.

So what does the town of Frisco think of this. I have a feeling a ton of Hotel rooms were just cancelled. Will Frisco be boom or bust depending if the Bison make the championship?

JMU has one of the bigger fan bases in FCS.  Ticket prices will drop and drink consumption will fall way off, but the game will be almost full.

Tip of the cap to five-in-a-row as it's an incredible feat, BUT ......

I'm also very much enjoying that the marching little dudes in this clip are in Green and Yellow

Without the Bison, the championship game usually doesn't sell out.

How do we know it was Faison's decision? Nearly everybody knew the Bizon lost anyway, but it just would of gave the BB team a boost.

There is definetly a rivalry in basketball:

Bizon called timeout with 24 sec. remaining with 12 point lead to rub it in, when play resumes a skirmish erupts and 3 T fouls on UND, 1 T foul on NDSU and 1 on each team coach. Took refs about 15 minutes to resume play with 16 sec left to play.

Glad to see the Bison finally lose....but you have to tip your cap to them; a helluva streak comes to a close after absolutely dominating this division for 5 years.

Enough of the cap tipping around here; I for one am overjoyed at FU going down in flames at home on national cable television. Since most of their fan base wouldn't give us the time of day for anything, I will not tip my cap to them for anything. Ever.

And now, to celebrate this most joyous occasion, is AC/DC......

They must have forgotten about the butt-whopping we put on them 10 short days ago. This is why I will never tip my cap to them for anything.

Good! Would have been absolutely stupid to announce the Bison football score. 

Faison just keeps impressing.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was his idea to not announce it. I suppose it would have been just fine to announce it if the Bison had won. That would have been the "classy" thing to do, right?

Cripes, I miss the old days when rubbing the Bison's nose in a loss was not only acceptable, but expected. All this being nice to everybody all the time is truly nauseating.

Announcing any scores at a UND basketball game should be about:

1) Basketball

Or

2) UND

So announcing scores from around the Big Sky Conference wouldn't be acceptable either?

[Cratter]

The UND president is up at the Fargodome hugging and taking pictures with Brescani, he seems to want to play nice to try and get a conference invite.

Basketball yes.

Football no.

I don't expect to hear about EWU football scores at a UND hockey game.

I was told by somebody who was works in Athletic Department. And yes it was would have given the crowd a boost.

Well, with the omnipresence of social media, it really doesn't matter if it is announced or not, people will hear about it.

There's a chain of command, and Faison has a boss...

UND would have just been good hosts and informing the Bison fans the score of their FB  playoff game.

Have a little fun with the rivalry.

Most of those people don't know who EWU is unless they have a hockey team.

  Glad to hear I'm not the only one that feels this way. I will never tip my hat to that colossal waste.   Couldn't be happier!!!
