New buildings do not equal better education, if that was true you guys would be conference champs in all your sports with all the  bragging about the new athletic buildings you have.   Your opinion on campuses is just that your opinion.  Enjoy Bubba 2.0 - 3 quarters of them are Bubba coaches.  You still have his recruits and if you think you're going to hit a ton of home runs in the portal after losing the best 2 players on the team you're dreaming.  

Ha! 
I dislike NDSU, and I dislike most of its supporters, at least one day out of the year. Useless university, waste of tax dollars.

Bubba 2.0 …. We’ll see, we’ll see. Stay classy Fargo and Bison Dan, ya f*ck.

I always tell people this: I would rather walk barefoot on molten glass than ever cheer for NDSU in any sport.

The UND alums who have jumped on the NDSU bandwagon because they "want to be a part of it" make me ill. Unless you have a kid on one of NDSU's teams, it is pure treason. That is a line that should never be crossed.

Yet look what our new governor (who has two degrees from UND) just did yesterday … it’s beyond maddening. I tell you … the UND community needs to rally to make everything right again in the world.

NDSU:

- brand new ground up $50M football practice field

- wrap old engineering buildings with facade

- build Sugihara Hall for programs eliminated a year later because of budget deficits and program cuts

 Might students get an impression of who/what is most important at NDSU?

Maybe the simplest thing to do would be compare presidents. Ours is as good as they get.

I know someone who went to NDSU graduation Friday. First exposure to NDSU’s Cook and they were underwhelmed. Same for the SBHE member who spoke.

They’re working to address this hard

Using AI and analytics all while crunching completion percentage, fall camp tape, HS stats and college highlight reels??

Do any of you have friends who are Bison fans and can not understand why you will not cheer for them in the title game?

I have some who make it sound like I'm giving the Nuclear Codes to the Chinese because I never cheer for the Bison.

I dont understand where that type of thinking comes from????? I wouldnt expect you to root for NDSU under any circumstances. Just as I wouldnt cheer for UND.  Its a crazy world out there.  May be if we went back to drinking the blood from our enemies skulls again the universe would right it self

The day you see me cheering for Gopher Hockey you know it's AI generated.

I think a lot of it comes from folks that grew up and or live in North Dakota but didn’t attend either school. I’ve been through this with a few of my uncles

Exactly!  Not sure why that is so hard to understand how you could cheer for both schools.  North Dakota should have done what Wyoming, Minnesota, and Nebraska did ONE University that the whole state could rally around.  North Dakota is way to small to be divided between two schools.

No, no, no, a hundred times NO.

I don't care what realignment did to the college game, the Goofs are still my #1 enemy.

I'd cheer for the ice, the boards, the pipes, and the glass. 

 

Firmly anti- maroon and gold.

The two best FCS QBs I saw play (multiple times) this season are leading their teams to Frisco.

I’m in a mixed marriage on this one so I tread lightly. Needless to say I needed to be careful during the Quinnipiac game but I digress

Drake hired Joe Woodley as their new Head Coach. He led Grand View to the NAIA title this past weekend.

Not official, but the rumor is Jimmy Rogers to Washington State. Vigen also mentioned as a possibility.

This is accurate.

I have a good buddy who I went to High School with. Grew up rooting for UND and NDSU. Loves all sports, was a sportswriter for quite a while.  He currently lives in Twin Cities, works for the University of Minnesota. His son went to South Dakota State, his oldest daughter went to UMD and his youngest daughter recently graduated from UND.

He has a pecking order for who he cheers for depending on the sport.

Being a MN girl (ancestors here 1857, 1858 (2), and 1880), I have always cheered for UND hockey. Not sure why. When the North Stars went to Dallas (thanks Norm Green), I quit pro hockey and watched just college.I can be pretty rabid at hockey games..almost got a bench penalty once and then one time my 100# friend tackled me after Zi made an obscene gesture to an opponent’s father. God knew what he was doing getting our of hockey!

It is now almost official, will probably bring most of the staff with him.
