Mama Sue Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Well wasn’t Gate City plastered all over the Fargodome? Hardly a neutral name... Quote
UNDfaninMICH Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I would like to see a trophy for football, because that’s the one sport I can think of that has one regular season meeting to make for a clear winner of the trophy I also like the idea of an all-sports trophy, but I’m not convinced that having one will increase interest in sports that don’t already have much interest.

fightingsioux4life Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Shouldn't we focus on getting our program in order first? Otherwise, we may as well call it the Bison Football Trophy. This isn't freaking high school. 2 Quote

I have seen UND NDSU soccer and volleyball/basketball and softball games, I think the interest is there and I am for raising money to help both schools athletic departments as much as possible. It is an idea, but one founded on the changing landscape in college sports where athletic departments are finding more sources of revenue. Thank you for the feedback! Quote
PrairieBison Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Bison fan here. I think there should absolutely be a trophy. I guess thats all I have to say at this time lol. But what should it be? I would be okay with a new nickel honestly. Could just keep the two current logos for all i care Quote
PrairieBison Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Probably something creative could be done with reference to the old turf from memorial and Dakotah. something Teddy roosevelt? Elk horn ranch? rough riders? the red river? theres too much goo dmaterial here to not have something cool Quote
North Dakota Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Make a bronze statue of the old barn near Hillsboro and have UND on the north side and NDSU on the south. We can play for the barn! 1 Quote

Goon Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 33 minutes ago, GoHawks said: I-29 trophy? It think it's a fabulous idea. You could have the i-29 mile marker for the exit to NDSU on one side and the mile marker tor UND on the other side. Quote

MDtoGF Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks for the feedback folks, whatever the trophy is having an all sport trophy for UND-NDSU would be an awesome unifier for both schools and their fan bases in my opinion as per the article! Quote
90siouxfan Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 the two communities also have a common tie.... sandbags... 1 Quote

PrairieBison Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Giant petrified Stump painted kelly green on one side and Forest green on the other. Cmon guys, we can make it happen! Quote
PrairieBison Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 a Giant Bronze BURRO. Hilsbororo is about halfway between GF and Fargo Quote
