I actually enjoyed the article. I started at UND in '03, just in time to catch the end of the rivalry. Didn't know about all of stealing of the trophy.Quote:

But I dare any of you to say that it is just another game when the lights go out and Thunderstruck starts playing. Or right before kickoff and you see a und football team on the field ready to play the Bison. Every memorey of past games from the Fargodome, the Alerus, Memorial Stadium, and Dakotah Field will come back to you. You will remember why you hate und and want to kick their ass back to Grand Forks. Sure there is media hype as expected, but there is well deserved hype from fans too. I gaurantee that on the first possession for the UND offense, it will be loudest the dome has been EVER for a football game. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. It's going to awesome!!
Someone correct me, but every time I talk Bison vs. The Fighting Who, they bring up hockey. How is that going the last 10-15 years?

Shakir Bell... definately. When Travis Beck says he was the toughest player he's ever had to tackle, you know the guy was special.Quote:

He brought it back to Fargo, and he got interviewed by Jim Adelson in a dark room just showing his profile. :)Quote:

I suggest those of us THAT DONT WANT TO GO IN A TIME MACHINE sit there quietly at this game, & get it over with.
Here's the plan:
1.) Steal the Nickel
2.) Hire a blacksmith to smelt it down and reforge it (like the elves re-forged Isildur's sword into Narsil in Lord of the Rings) into a giant middle finger
3.) Deliver it to Brian Faison's doorstep
4.) ?
5.) profit
Had to be 1980 or earlier. We had it throughout the 80sQuote:

True, but thats par for the course...its the difference between having leadership and Yes men. ND is full of establishment Yes men! Thats why the bunker video was so damn funny. BTW have not seen that in awhile anyone know if it still exist?Quote:

I mentioned this on her long ago, but I'd love to see NDSU Blue Key take up this issue if they have not already since they own 1/2 of it. They should send official letters to Faison and Kelly asking to meet about the issue and trying calling so they know they are serious. If no response, as NDSU Pres to contact them on their behalf expressing a desire to work it out. If no response, get a lawyer.Quote:

Consider who there dealing with it's really not that hard to understand.Quote:

Exactly. As an institution, their actions are pretty sophomoric, and I would hope NDSU would have acted differently if their roles were reversed.Quote:

Still tooooo funny!Quote:

At least with all the attention the Grand Forks Harold has given to "THE" game, it has taken the spotlight off of the drunk, pedophilia profs The University of North Dakota (UND) has working for them. The last few weeks have not been good for UND with the child pron and profs drinking issues and all.
FYI lurkers, I talk shit about the opposing team each week so please do not think you are somehow special. Well your special bless your hearts but not really. However in this case, this is less about talk and more about the reality and state of your sad university. Get your shit together would ya!
At work? Yes.Quote:
