Really for me the only way to get satisfaction with this game is if the Bison absolutely dominate them. I am talking Moorhead State level domination, a beating so bad they don't want to play another game but that is going to be hard to pull off with a coach that understands the rivalry better than anyone on their side and his band of underdogs.

I think this game will be like the first mens basketball game but with way more energy. UND keeps it close for a while and then the Herd knocks them out in the second half. Bubba will have his team amped up but eventually the talent gap will be too much to overcome.

I am ashamed to say, the 1st International Bank in Killdeer added to their sign today: UND VS NDSU, The Most Valuable Nickel In ND. Please let this week end!

My daughter got her student ticket but just barely. Her friend missed out and is number 1057 on the student waiting list. I guess the student tickets went in one minute....wow!!!

This game should have a ton of energy!!

Is he now masquerading as ncaafootball on other boards? Told the Weber State board that NDSU has the best tailgating in the country, at any level, hands down. That sounds a lot like Lakes lol.

Not an engineer, but isn't a ton a measure of mass?




is this a trick question e=mc2?

It gives their "fans" a reason to cheer for their football team for a week. then they'll go into butthockey mode after it

Day 1 so far not NDSU-UND week and a ton of articles that are very pro-UND. Even the NCAA has an article and a video by Bubba. This is the best press UND has gotten in a very long time. Even the Bison Video Blog devoted almost all their video to the days when UND was relevant. It is going to be a long week. No real way for NDSU to look good unless we beat the tar out of the no namers on Saturday.

I can't wait for this to be over so we can move on to games that actually count.

Izzo's boner during the Video Blog reached John Holmesian levels. He may need to consult a doctor before this week is all said and done.


Sent using a Speak N Spell and an Etch a Sketch

I'm more excited for the game and want to win because you know damn well if we lose, no matter how many National Championships we win or how many FBS wins we have, or as many College Gamedays we get... we have to listen to Darryl, Star2 City, DaveK, Sioux Volley, etc for 3 years and that would suck big time. The worm is turning type stuff. Do we really want to hear THAT?

I understand the argument that playing them just gives them unearned credibility and attention. But by that logic isn't using the Sioux Suck Shit chant at every game even when they don't involved UND doing the exact same thing?

Live look-in of me after seeing any link/headline regarding this game. Not clicking, no way, no how. I'm sticking to BV all week for any pertinent information regarding the gong show.

They have won just getting to play this game. It is a joke.

Absolutely. You are starting to understand the trepidation of some here concerning this game.

What isn't a big thing? Making everything about them, or the SSS chant, or both?

The SSS chant at games, it is hardly audible. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I remember hearing it.

I feel sorry for them. .( Well, not really)
This whole thing is just one big joke... On them.
Lull them into thinking they are somebody, then name them Sundogs.

Why won't bottom tier P-5 schools return our phone calls? For the same reason we shouldn't be playing these dipwads. Sioux suck.

I guess you were not at the Weber St. game this weekend, near the student section? Honestly, most of these kids don't remember the last game we played these fools yet they are chanting this at a WEBER STATE game.

I was nowhere near the student section and honestly I don't care what students chant and really nobody should. It was hardly audible when I was a student.

It can be heard quite well from my seats in section 17

I am having trouble understanding your point then. Are you suggesting it is not audible or you (yourself) have not heard this chant at a recognizable level?

I'm in 17 also and it was louder than normal this week. Usually it's pretty weak. The conviction just isn't there. It has been passed down...but the feeling isn't there like it was when I was a student. It will eventually die when we stop scheduling them. Playing them will only revive the chant.

I have been going to Bison games for a my entire life, I remember when the chant echo'd across the entire stadium. I haven't heard a chant like that for sometime.

The poster I originally responded to made it seem like there is some big chant every game. There isn't, just a few students weakly chanting it.

The poster you responded to stated this:

I have heard this chant at every game I have attended. Is it a BIG chant? That is in the mind of the listener (proximity, number of participants, etc).

I agree with the poster that the existence of this chant, in games that don't involve the sundogs, gives them credibility. We care about these fools, therefore they matter.

I wish UND would work hard to get another FBS school on their calendar and work even harder to beat them versus whine about needing this game and why NDSU won't schedule them. BOTH schools beating FBS schools would be huge (think GameDay, etc.) for the state versus a game just because.

So if we had a hockey team as shitty as their football team...they'd schedule us and play in Fargo on our sheet of ice, right?

I am looking forward to the game like any other game...but will continue to hope we schedule games (Oregon, are you kidding me?) that any objective person sees as better for our FB team, our university and the state. Please keep scheduling awesome games like Montana, Iowa, Oregon, etc. until the Sue are relevant.

I agree, Ames, Manhattan, etc. do way more for a program that a small interstate rivalry. The rivalry is fun for fan, and alumni but doesn't "grow" a program. So there is still something to be said for the game, but not in terms of growing or developing a program.

For the record this is NOT me bringing up hockey. I don't think it would be out of the question. We schedule home and home series with Bemidji St. Plus there are more games in a season for hockey, so more opportunity to schedule away games.

Pretty cool that you guys scheduled Orgeon, that is really big time. Hope you guys have a competitive showing in the game, for real. I don't care who your are, you have a close game (as a FCS team) against Oregon, I'll pull for ya. Pretty badass if you can schedule and hang with a team like that.

Agreed. Say UN_ even plays us close this week, but wins like 4 or 5 games this year and we have another deep playoff run. Nobody's going to care about the game except for the moral victory people and who cares? I get people's arguments, but I think the hand wringing is a bet unwarranted.

Yeah. How dare a new person want to discuss things on here? It's much better when it's the same people that always post.

Right, rivalries are fun because of heated fan bases. But when the rivalry is a non-conference game, there is just so much less at stake. UND could win, which would be huge ... then have a terrible season. or NDSU could smoke UND, but then lose to Illinois St or Indiana St (not sure what your schedule is this year). Point is, the rivalry would carry more meaningful weight if it was a conference game. As it is, it is just fun game for fans, not too much more.

That being said, still more for us to gain and NDSU to lose, purely because of where both programs are currently.

Exactly. I get where people are coming from with us having everything to lose and I kinda feel the same way, but you'd think we're guaranteed to lose every recruiting battle just because the game is being played.

This is the only sensible thing you have said in this entire thread, cannot wait for this useless game to be over and for the fighting squirrels to return to their rightful place of obscurity. Sioux suck.

You are right. So wrong of me to give him a bad time. How terrible it must be for others to put up with die hard fans of this football team. I apologize. I only hope that in the future I can be as good a fan as you. I will not believe in my team. I will always allow others to tell us how we are wrong, irrelevant, undeserving or lucky. I will never point out flaws in their arguments or unquestionably accept their motivations .
