For us old folks its a big rivalry. For the current students not so much but it wont take long to get on board. The current and past players who never experienced it WANT to experience it.

I can say that with 100% confidence after talking to many former players this past weekend down in the cities. Whats funny is I never brought up the game to them. They brought it up to me wanting to know what it was like.

 

Just by being in the same state and the close proximity lends itself to a continual comparison of whose  better. I witnessed the same thing down in Iowa when the two schools hadnt played each other in football for like 20-30 years.

AH HA, Now that is a reasonable answer.

the current roster of bison football players don't get to determine if this is a rivalry or not.  just like bison fans don't get to determine that peeing on sidewalks in downtown Minneapolis is a socially acceptable practice.  

Wow thats a big stretch just to get a dig in.

UND is also brought up in nearly every thread on Bisonville.

A game thread usually gets started a day before or the day of the game. 

Oh sorry... a game week thread?

Sure we had a great trophy.  Any new one isn't going to be as good.  But that is not a reason to not have a new one.  Virtually every rivalry game in college football has a trophy.  Would be unfortunate if this one didn't have one.  Seriously.  Doesn't really matter what it is.  Doesn't need to be glitzy or prestigious.  Bells, buckets, kegs, jugs, spades; there are trophies out there that have been played for for years that are just basic and simple.  Playing for a trophy that is basically an object, that the players can run too and carry around the field after a big win is what it's all about.  To have a physical representation of the big rivalry win that players and fans can gravitate towards is just one more thing that makes rivalry games great.

Virtually all? Do you want to retract that or????

This nut job probably doesn't think it's a rivalry either, yet he posts to himself about UND every day.  Typical Bison fan.  https://championshipsubdivision.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=50696

That guy is a freaking wingnut on the same level as lakes. No comparison to a regular NDSU fan.

I don’t see any of their tag lines referencing their “so called” rival to the South. For some reason it’s all about some random team to the North......?

I agree with everything you just said.

But that still doesn’t address my question as to why the players would in any way see this as a rivalry game.

Most non local players won’t until one of those signature rivalry plays heats things up in a close game. Like a late hit on a star player out of bounds. Or a really bad penalty call that cause a swing in momentum. No guarantee any of that happens this Saturday but it will eventually and things will get cranked to 11 quickly. 

Additionally, any amount of success from UND hurts NDSU fans in a different way than any other program could. It’s cognitive dissonance on another level, and it’s natural, not forced like the SDSU stuff.

If that is the case, can he get a medical redshirt?

[gfhockey]

Possibly but u no how the ncaa likes Und

I’ve never seen a fan base respond so casually to their starting QB going down.

Must speak very well to how much you all trust the backup.

A lot of people on this board have really liked Zimm when’s he’s played. I like his mechanics 1000x more than Kett for whatever that’s worth. He’s a quality backup for sure.

I personally think zim is a better QB, plays more aggressive and moves better than kett
