Looks like both North Dakota's major research universities are doing some things right. Congrats to both universities.

My sentiments exactly. And considering all the hubbub about the SDSU rivalry being greater than the one with UND, would a similar SDSU thread have stirred up as much interest as this most recent...

I for one do not really quite comprehend the D2 bashing as well. After all,D2 really helped bring NDSU football to the fore and established the fine tradition that has continued on to this day. ...

[QUOTE=NDSUstudent;876914]It is pretty much impossible to get the Gophers to come here. I'm guessing it would take going there 2 or 3 times plus a very large check to get them to even think about it....

Speaking of mandates from the students as it were, Tony, years ago (late 1960s or early 1970s, I believe), the UND student body did indeed mandate the construction of the original Ralph Engelstad...

Women's hockey is very expensive. It was one of the reasons UND chose not to move up to Division I in all sports about the time NDSU did.

I don't really have enough overall information regarding hiring from within as far as university presidents and ADs are concerned. Thinking back, however, UND made an outstanding hire when Tom...

No need to apologize. Bison had a terrific run during those dozen years. Those outstanding years helped pave the way for the current three-peat in FCS. A tip of the hat to an outstanding and...

Just for the record, it was 12 games in a row, from 1981 through 1992. Believe the Fool'em erroneiously years ago once made mention of the 13 in a row, but it was only 12, rough enough on us Sioux...

After a cursory glance of events it seems to me both schools have a right to be proud. No question NDSU's three straight FCS football national titles is something to be unduly proud of, tying...

Basically, I believe what you say is true. Errors and omissions on both sides. Pride at times going before the fall. In short, I believe both universities said and did what they believed best for...

No, not really. What I was referencing was the idea of revisionist history as noted by Tatanka, as I recall. We know damn well there's a lot of revisionist history as pertains to the hostile and...

I can go along with that.

Geez, this is funny, particularly with the photo from Jaws enclosed (which I think it is). You are probably exactly right. Why do I feel there are jaws down there just waiting for me? In any...

[QUOTE=Tatanka;787453]I'd be interested in seeing an article or even a quote from someone at un_ that indicated that womens hockey or title ix was the reason for not moving to division I with ndsu. ...

Damn! You got that right.

Hindsight is almost always 20/20. Yes, in many respects now as hindsight has convincing told us, we should have probably opted to go D-I when you did. However, at that point in time we were getting...

Touchee as they say. Actually, that's pretty funny. You may have time to plan a number of other versions before we actually play again. Where I am coming from on the Nickel Trophy is simply this: ...

I guess that worked for you in 1969: NDSU put a 50-point drubbing on UND. Then, two years later, in 1971, with a slough-full of unbeaten, untied conference and overall marks on the line in NDSU's...

If you're talking about UND getting into the Southeastern Conference, I think the answer is never. Because at the moment based on recent past natty title games, I don't think there's much question...

An excllent program, one of many superb programs put together and distributed by Prairie Public TV. Thanks for reminding us.

As a fellow UND journalism grad with Klosterman, I think he makes an extremely cogent and telling argument. I fervently hope Klosterman doesn't get bashed here on BV simply because of his UND...

Congrats to the Bison for being featured on College GameDay from this Sioux fan. Without question, the Bison faithful have earned it. This is great.

I thought the Bisonator had some interesting posts that were worthy of food for thought. I'd like to add my condolences as well.

Tony, you are absolutely right. When will we ever learn, to paraphrase an old Kingston Trio song from the Vietnam era. We don't seem to learn from our history, do we?
