Then my in-laws are huge bison fans, so I'll tailgate with them and their friends when I'm in Fargo. Always have a great time with great people. Don't have to take me seriously, but I'm really not on here for the senseless arguments.

Bison defense looked better this week. Was MT just that much better than Weber, or did your D make a lot of adjustments this week?

Bisonville expects MUCH better grammar from its contributors.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the game and the tailgate.

Hopefully we can have some fun this week. This is a rivalry even though we haven't played football in a long time. Fargo and Grand Forks don't like each other, UND and NDSU don't like each other.

It seems all the bitterness and resentment surrounding this game comes from the high horses who think NDSU has gotten too big for the state of North Dakota.

Spoiler alert: it's still North Dakota.

SIOUX SUCK. ( off to sensitivity training)

EXACTLY! So tired of all the controls because some overly sensitive wimp got their feelings hurt. And this turn in your neighbor in text thing is a joke. Is there any criteria for what the Dome Nazis will respond to? I can only imagine.......This guy is yelling too loud.......keeps saying crap.......that is a four letter word.......please talk to him..........my kid who lives in a bubble will be forever scarred. For those of you too young to remember, anonamously turning people in for violating vague and insignificant rules was a system of control in the USSR. Phone in that your neighbor has American rock music or a pair of Levis.......got them sent to Siberia.
Here is the deal........if someone complains the Dome Nazis better watch the area and witness the behavior for themselves before acting. I doubt security has the brains to figure this out and will only react.

find myself agreeing with you.
most overrated game on NDSU's schedule. As the last 4 years have shown, this is a totally unnecessary game as far as NDSU reaching its goals.

After our game against Drake, I think fans are way more nervous than they were. Then again, maybe it is a good thing that happened when it did. Our team is definitely not going to come in too high on themselves for a win over a low caliber FBS team; can't come in feeling good about much from the Drake game.

Hey siouxfan512 ... appreciate you and your thoughts. Appreciate the civil approach to all this.

As an NDSU alum, supporter ... the bold from your quote above, I agree.

Obligatory for this week. Just replace "cur dogs" with "Sun Dogs".

Does anyone have a "The Bison are coming" T-shirt anymore? It's always been my favorite one...

Let's hope both teams play well, with zero injuries. Let's also hope that both schools go on to having a great season respectively.

I'll be wearing my "4 quarters for a nickel" T-shirt even though we aren't playing for the nickel and wearing my "100 years of NDSU football" hat from 1994. :)

Like the old school vibe. Always wear an old NDSU jacket. I just surprisingly received my grandpa's 100 year pin from my grandma. He passed away 13 years ago.

Doesn't make it right. And they probably know enough to first witness "accused" behavior before reacting.

Even adding back the 31 yards lost via sack (3 of 'em) it's still only 1.5 ypc. The three longest runs from scrimmage were 15, 9, and 7.

Other interesting notes:

UN_ punted 6 times and Drake punted 10 times on Saturday...........ugh.
Division II Jewell College managed to put up 30 in week one against Drake. (at Drake)(Drake won 44-30).*


*fortunately for Wyoming neither Kevin Bacon or Jewell College is on the Cowboys' schedule.

Also saw they have fumbled 4 times and lost 3 in their two games. No INT's (yet)

The turning your offensive t-shirt inside out bit is not new. That was going on at both venues before UND decided to stop playing us.

Dom Izzo keeps the "No Names" at #13 in his poll. I am missing something, or is the media putting out crap in order to trump up this weekend's game???

Not sure if he was serious, by Dr. Phil "UND Lapdog" Johnson was on Jack Michaels today and said that if NDSU fans got to loud, UND could complain and we could get penalized if we didnt be quiet. LOL!

Jack never did correct him, nor did he say he was kidding or even sound like it.

Earth to Dr. Phil, this isn't the early 90s NFL.

Beer labels to be delivered tomorrow. Original projection (after ordering) was for them to be delivered 9-21-15...would have really sucked to have UN_ beer labels after the game...

And more importantly, the SDSU labels will be on that shipment as well...including the Bisonville decided label.

Jack sounded like a und lapdog as well on the KFGO post-game show this past Saturday, so don't expect any hard-hitting rebuttal from him.

As far the noise goes, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, New Hampshire, etc etc etc didn't put up a stink to the point of a warning being given. You play in a funeral home atmosphere in the Alerus, so live with it, sun dogs!

Despite my better judgment, I listened to that too. Somebody needs to smack Jack Michaels out of the 1980's. It was on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how the state and the region needs this game. I don't know about anyone else, but I think I know how the fans of FBS schools feel when they see us on the schedule. This game is nothing but a lose/lose situation for NDSU. Somebody, anybody, give me one legitimate, meaningful thing NDSU will gain by playing this game that we don't already have. NDSU got to the top without UND, UND's fastest route back to legitimacy in football is through this game, period. Why we would give them that is beyond me. I'm still pissed it was an interim AD that scheduled this. He was fired, right?

Agreed, no reason fans shouldn't be as loud as possible. Whole point of home field advantage.

No, Prakash is still there

One of their own put in the YHB something about a Reyes hit during their game last Saturday. He was asking if there would be any disciplinary action taken against him? Was there a late hit cheap shot? I did not watch their game.

Not in the AD office. He's retired. I had breakfast with he and his wife at our hotel in Montana. His wife specifically said "He's retired now".

Has there been a game they haven't had a late hit cheap shot? Ask Montana fans what they think of UND.....

Ok, well he still was not fired...I seen him on the sidelines in Montana on TV so I assumed he was still there in sme capacity

Kind of like having a graduated player on the sidelines. Le'veon Bell was on the sidelines at the Michigan State game and NOT on my fantasy lineup

I should have put the comment about Prakesh being fired in purple, my bad. I know he wasn't fired.

Breaking news: Sundogs release photo of their new mascot. No confirmation if it will be at Saturday's game:

I'm trying to avoid any form of media that's playing this game up as anything more than a regional OOC game so I didn't listen to Jack Michaels today but I'll play devil's advocate here and say that a benefit for NDSU is two super cheap OOC home games. Pretty sure UND is getting something like $100K for each game which is peanuts compared to what NDSU has had to pay teams like Prairie View A&M, Incarnate Word, and Delaware St to come to Fargo with no return game.

Now I'm sure UND is expecting this will buy them goodwill down the road for future contracts so I won't argue that long term repurcussions may end up outweighing that benefit but it's worth noting at least.

Obviously Wentz has a terrific arm, so is Stick going to be closer to a Jensen type player (bet better). I assume people on here know more about him than I do.

Don't know why you didn't watch the Spring Game, it was broadcast on statewide network television???
