I bet that doesn't happen anywhere else in the country with rivals in their rivals city.
    96.1 in Grand Forks is the home station. Play by play guy just happens to work at WDAY in Fargo.

    What does having another DI university in MN accomplish? Any of the DIIs would need to eliminate hockey or FB and cut athletics to the bone. Again, MN is better off as is. U of MN has 55k students and near $100M athletic budget. Another also ran DI with 15k and $15M budget isn’t going to matter to MN folks. DI hockey matters more in MN.

    St Thomas is probably the best candidate.

    As someone who grew up in Minnesota and outside the Twin Cities, it would be nice to have an option that reminds people that there is much more to the State than the metropolitan area outside of the hunting and fishing seasons.

    Your statement, "isn’t going to matter to MN folks" is a classic example the attitude of us Greater Minnesotans having to deal with those from Cities. UMD, with better funding from the State, could compete at the DI level.

    MN could be just like WI and support multiple non-football playing DI schools.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    The thing that separates Wisconsin from Minnesota is that Wisconsin is known much more than it capital city, Madison, where it only DI school is located. Thanks to professional teams being in Green Bay and Milwaukee, Madison is sometimes and after thought.

    The benefit to NDSU for having states like MN and WI (NE too) having just one DI school is the ability to get great quality recruits who are overlooked by their respective state school.

    Bonus: St. Thomas was a charter member of the old NCC.
    St. Thomas or bust! Lets gooooooo! Are ya sayin' that because you have a nice direct flight to MSP though?

Unless we cannot compete with SDSU and/or USD, then maybe it makes sense to not have it still.
    Yeah, I loved going to watch lady's ball in high school. Fun to support friends/classmates. NDSU won like <10 games a year when I was in school. Was a big bummer.

    You should have been there during the 90s. The Women’s team was awesome.

    On the other hand, our Men’s program was kind of nonexistent. I remember they lost to Concordia early one season.

    The 1990's North Dakota owned women's basketball. Between NDSU and UND, the title lived in North Dakota 8 out of the 10 seasons. Plus NDSU lost in the championship game in 1992. NDSU and UND were also runners up in 2000 and 2001 respectively as well.
    The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....

    ...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.

    Sad. They are forever gotten because that's what happens when you suck for a few decades. The only people who remember that are 45 and older. There are literally generations who dont care
