Dustin Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I was feeling nostalgic last night, and watched the "good" parts of "When They Were Kings." Can't help but think that a repeat of the 1993 Sioux-Bison football game is on deck sometime in the next few years. Could it be 2019? The crowd noise in those games was unbelievable, too! Can't wait for those Dakota rivalries to amp up the crowds. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for those Dakota rivalries to amp up the crowds. I remember going on the field after they tore down the goal posts, will never experience that again. The 92 game in Fargo the year before was an all time great game too, the 91 game was really good too....even though we lost both of those. I was at UND 90-94 which was awesome being there during those years where we overtook them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fortunately don't carry the heartbreak of the '80s teams because I was too young (born 1982), so I didn't have a grasp of what the '93 game meant until later. However, I get the feeling the next football victory over the Bison will be every bit as sweet for me as '93 was for you. The 2010s have been brutal watching those guys dominate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 4 hours ago, jdub27 said: I'd take both to have an extra home game next season. First choice of course would be the away half of a home/home with a decent team to set up a return home game in the future. Still dumbfounded they are pretty much set on 11 games instead of 12 next season. The committee this year didn't give much/any credit for non-D1 wins. So it'd likely lose money and increase risk of injury to play a non-counter with minimal/no benefit. Home/home would be nice, but maybe they don't have the extra $100k to travel in the 2019 budget.

Agree on the D2 game, just being selfish for an extra week to tailgate likely early in the season. Possible on the budget thing, but you're basically paying $100K in 2019 for a free home game in a future year instead of paying at least 1.5x in a later year to get a home game. Like I said, I get the reasoning they are using, just don't personally agree with it. I just hope we aren't sitting at 6-5 at the end of the year wishing we would have had one extra D-1 win to add to the win column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoHawks Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 After the coaching changes I'm re-upping my 5 season tickets and tailgate spots. I'm sure I would have anyway just wouldn't have been as excited. Also like the 3 early hopefully nice weather tailgating home games! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
