Looks like NDSU is joining UND in the 3rd tier.

[Cratter]

What does this have to do with UND's Reclassification to Division I?

[Diggler]

Once again NDSU is riding UND's coat tails by joining the 3rd tier.

It's time for UND to move to the second tier.

LOL. I've never seen so many people proud to be associated with a "Third Tier Institution". I know the first thing I'm going to put on a resume is that my degree is from a nationally recognized third tier university!

By the way what tier is sdsu. Care to enlighten us. Fifth? Is there a sixtht tier?

By the way what tier is sdsu.

It was first tier when I was there, but that's been a while.

What the hell does this have to do with reclassification?

They are all third tier schools.

This scene from "The Jerk" helps put the excitement of Bison fans into perspective:

(a phone book delivery truck drives up)

Navin: Oh, my God! (Navin takes the book.) Thank you.

(he rips through the book, looking for something)

Navin: The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!

Harry: Well I wish I could get so excited about nothing.

Navin: Nothing? Are you kidding?! Page 73, Johnson, Navin, R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity, you're name in print, that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
