Maybe top take some pressure (if there is any) off his players. Just trying to treat it like any other non conference game. this year will feel like more of a rivalry than 2015 because it is the start of playing every year again. Next year will be even bigger since it will be a conference game. And eventually (and hopefully) the rivalry will be back to the level it once was. I saw Kolpack and Izzo's preview of the game and they were kind of in the same boat how it's a rivalry game but doesn't feel like one being so early in the season. they dd bring up a point that this game needs to be the last game of the year and it needs a trophy. So many college football rivalries that do those two things, NDSU/UNd game needs to do as well. 2020-2023 game days are set. 2022 game in Fargo is the last game of the season but the other 2 are not. Hopefully startign in 2024, the game will be the last game of the year. Looking forward to getting this rivalry started up again!! It already had a good trophy. What's the point in playing for anything else? Either bring it back or dont waste time on a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Describe why NDSU and UND football players on the current team have any reason to think this is a rivalry? Nobody on the current team played in the 2015 game and they were all in diapers the last time this game meant something. Rivalry doesn’t just mean “big game”.

Either bring it back or dont waste time on a trophy. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best outcome for me, bring back the Nickle, but if that can’t happen, let’s start a new tradition with a new trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading a study a few years that concluded that "rivalry" games are statistically more likely to result in the favored team winning than games between non-rivals.

SlowHand Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 NDSU has a rival and plays for the marker. SDSU is NDSUs rival. UND continues to attempt to elevate their status in CFB by clinging to a old rivalry. Its kind of funny in a sad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
