If you think UND has better name recognition/appeal/brand than NDSU football I want what you are smoking. NDSU FB has a bigger brand than any FCS school by a mile and almost every G6 schools and several P4 schools. Ther is a reason Phil Steele put an NDSU player on his cover this year.

Okay big boy. ndsu football is a fad right now but you keep padding up your fragile ego to convince yourself of all those secret fans out there. Doesn’t help either that everything to do with ndsu that isn’t football is a complete joke right now …

Yeah, I can't disagree with this. NDSU is no Alabama or Georgia, but there is far more national recognition in the last 15 years than UND. Football Championships, Draft picks ... even March Madness appearances. UND will have its opportunity to make some noise, and I think Schmidt is doing far better paving that road than what we have seen in the past, but the next few seasons will tell the tale.

Of course, the hockey program gets its recognition within the hockey world, but it's not the same thing.

All that being said, there aren't many FCS programs that can or will ever compete with the success rate and recognition level the Bison had. It is a bit of an anomaly ... even SDSU for as good as they have been, does not have the same level of recognition. Still makes me wonder how things may have changed had UND gone D1 at the same time as NDSU. Would that have changed the entire landscape? Absolutely no way of knowing.

 

Let me know when you find that Time Machine!
Moving forward, exciting times ahead for UND football …

Said well, and I don't think it can be oversold how much of a different the facilities make. I was talking to a guy who played safety for the Bison and said he was also recruited to UND .... UND spent more time giving a tour of the Ralph and this guy was like .... "I'm here to play football, not hockey", but this was back in like 2012 and any football facilities weren't going to exactly win people over.

UND’s current football facilities are top-tier, better than several FBS facilities, and the UND facility master plan will only continue to further improve UND and UND football. 
 

In contrast, ndsu’s campus is a sh*thole…

2010 was when Mussman was here. During his time here we were very rough to watch. I'm thankful we now have Schmidt!

I forgot about that! That had to be Mussman's best year! Had Freund, Trenbeath and Otto.

I love UND football 

I don’t like the constant comparisons to the team down South 

we have our own identity 

I love UND football and who we are

Our future is bright!
