Stick it to 'em Gene! Faison thinks he's BMOC and can dictate to us...hahahahaha. I say leave them off the schedule permanently.
WE'VE MARCHED ON!
We Dont Need Them. And.never Will !!
The Forum Is.scrambling To.make.controversy, News. Cuz.they Have Nothing Else To.do.
Gene, Keep.saying No !!!
We Got Your Back!!
IMO...part of the reason that Chapman is gone is because the UND political supporters in Bismarck are pushing for this...and they couldn't stand the attitude of Chapman & Taylor. Call it a conspiracy theory...but I also have a relative that's in the house. The UND crowd celebrated Chapman's departure...and loved every minute of it.
Please stay Gene.
Fiason could be flexible considering he has only 4 conference games.
Good job Gene!!
I'm pretty sure there where other factors that lead to Joe leaving that he brought on himself. No one chased him out of office.
Back to the game. I agree with everything thats been posted except Gene better get that last home game scheduled and hopefully against an FCS casue I'm sure the forum has their follow up article ready for print already.
Give them a one game deal for this year only. We need a game, and that one would be a huge gate. As for playing every year.....I agree with Gene. As a member of the MVFC we have limited OOC games. We can't be committing to an every year match with UND......unless it is in Fargo 2 out of 3 years or 3 out of 4 years. We give up too much money by going on the road for an OOC game (unless it is a FBS payday game).
Well, I know you will all burn me at the stake for saying this, but I think we should play them every year, but on a two for one deal. I haven't looked at the schedules but in my idea Faison gets what he wants, playing NDSU every year, but the game is in Fargo in 2011 and 2012, then in GF in 2013. Starting in 2014 we start it all over again.
They get what they want, a game every year, and we get what they owe us, an apology for treating us so poorly after the move to DI.
After all, it's not like NDSU doesn't struggle to get an 11th game every year.
So, I agree with Wyo.
That Faison character sounds like the whiney, little momma's boy who would whine and cry when he didn't get his way. Get "higher authority" involved? Are you serious? Don't these people with "higher authority" have better things to do than worry about a football schedule? Would it be fun to beat their ass up and down the field? Absolutely! But WE DON"T NEED YOU! Just like und didn't need us when we started the transition. Typical und mindset of everything is entitled to them. I cannot stand that town, that university, their fans, their colors, their attitudes. End of story!
Gene is pitching a very reasonable offer to these fools and has every reason to stick to his guns. Does anyone really believe that if the shoes were on the other feet that there would be concession from downstream? Hell, no, there wouldn't.
As for the whining to the higher authorities, well, don't think that when Faison says "things change" he's not banking on help from the new NDSU president... or the interim one...
They made their bed. Let them lie in it.
I agree with Gene 100 percent on this. However, it makes him look a little foolish when the last home game this year is probably going to end up being Aunt Edna State and they'll get a huge guarantee to come here.
I prefer Aunt Edna State to the suzies.
Here's the deal, Aunt Edna State would be willing to come up to Fargo for one game. UND has made it clear that they aren't willing to even settle for one game every other year let alone a one and done. So when Aunt Edna or whomever else signs on the dotted line to come up to Fargo there should be no finger pointing at NDSU because UND has said it's all or nothing for them. Now ask yourself this question, if say UNI or SIU came to UND and offered them a game every other year, would the Sioux sign off on it. I would venture to guess the answer to that question is a big fat hell yeah, they'd sign it in a New York minute. These guys are in a five team football conference, yet they are willing to say no to NDSU, Gene's offer to them seems pretty good to me and one less game to have to find every other year. If I'm Gene and they say no to this I have a three word response to UND, pound sand bitches.
I found the Antichrist it is none other than Gene Taylor himself. He is killing Fargo after the flood and he is hurting ND and should be helping out all of the other ND schools. He is costing NDSU a ton of money by not scheduling UND because he could jack up the tickets in the years UND played in Fargo. We also need them more than they need us so we can get on FCS with their contract. It must be true as that is what they are saying on whosports.
If the shoe was on the other foot they would not be interested in signing a every year contract either. They have a very good offer on the table, stop crying and sign it. I am sure Gene would even give them the same contract USD deemed to be worthwhile.
Here you go Bison fans Voice your opinions
http://www.inforum.com/event/article...roup/homepage/
Crazy, what makes UND think they are such hot stuff that they absolutely have to be on our schedule every single year? Every-other is perfectly reasonable, and if it really takes off it can be changed. Gene's position is great and I'm glad he's sticking to it.
UND is hoping we blink, or the state steps in and tries to force us to play every year.
UNREAL the ignorance of und people. I love how their typical comebacks are in order:
1- We are real D1 with D1 titles (hockey, laughable)
2- You are 3-8, you suck
3- WE have the nickle.
My god, WHO CARES! #1, D1 hockey is slightly below LACROSSE, #2, the competition NDSU plays week in and week out is better than anything theyve seen. #3 1990's called, you can go back there, we wont!!
Typical Forum, begging to sell newspapers, nothing gets the heb's and hicks up in grand forks and western north dakota more jacked up to see ndsu/und. give me a break, ARE THOSE PEOPLE BLIND? HAVE THEY NOT SEEN THE LAST 5-6 YEARS and the SUCCESS NDSU HAS HAD?
nope, they will just look at last year. short minded people suck!
I think we should get a meeting setup in hillsboro between BV and SS and then see if the anonymous idiocracy still flows from up north in person. This every other year proposal is so reasonable even the Dems and Reps in DC could agree it. Absolutely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt... REASONABLE!!!!
Sore forehead anyone? :banghead:
LOL this article is teh April Fool's
Eh... Agreed. We need to play them again sometime. However, we CANNOT give up 1 game EVERY year... we only have 2 ooc fcs games a year..
This...they could be eying the fact that UNI is struggling to keep Football alive and maybe think they could weasel their way into the conference. Or...they could wanting it every year to help with recruiting? "Look, we might not play in a big conference, but we play every year with NDSU of the MVFC, so you'll get tons of exposure."
This really gets me going. For the past 7 years, the sue fans have been absolutely silent about playing the Bison. Now that they need games, this is the most wonderful rivalry ever, North Dakota can't live without it, the fans demand it, the Bison must be scared, it would be a real money maker, their list goes on and on, why we have to play them. I say the heck with them, we don't ever need to play them, not even every decade. You took your nickel and went home with it and now you can keep it.
give me und over wofford, austin peay, central connecticut. georgetown etc.
i'm totally on taylors side on this... this game should happen, only on ndsu's time table though. if it requires a game to the tin shed, say forget about it. ndsu would be losing a lot of money over not goin to a bcs school to play, or even a fbs minor conference school.
I have to agree with Gene. His proposal is very reasonable. Going from no game to every other year???? Whats the problem UND???? Like Gene said--- for them to draw the line in the sand????? Pretty strange when they want this game so bad.
But The game will happen sooner or later. Its just a matter of time.
This was a smart move by Gene, the ball is now in UND's court.
He gave them a fair deal and for the first time in a while it looks like NDSU isn't to blame in stopping the game.
Does anyone know what upcoming years a 12th game is allowed for FCS schools?
If it was every year (as previously proposed and defeated), that would be the solution to an annual game against the sioux.
