It was KHCO.......and it started in 1976. Sam Neis was the ringleader

I remember sitting in the stands as an alumni at Dahcota Field for the UND game ... must be '73 ... in freezing windy temperatures on metal bench seats and UND dominating the game. I believe NDSU had -14 total yards for the game. My better memories were the '64-68 teams. I started following the Bison in '57 when it looked like the AC was where I would go after HS. Wasn't much to see between 57 and 63.

I remember being at this game with two of my brothers, it was pouring rain, miserable. Bison starting QB was injured and Dale May came in to QB.

No Cichy at UND. You might be talking about one of the Deutsch boys?

Jay Gustafson died a couple years ago.

Two or three Cichy's played for the Bison. One was a Center, was it Mike? And Joe was a hard hitting DB, maybe LBr. I remember one of the games the Bison beat Montana in the Camelia Bowl, Joe hit a Montana ball carrier so hard you could hear the UFFF on the broadcast. Absolutely knocked the snot outta the guy.

Nick was a DB as was Joe.

The book is being passed around. Maybe you can get ahold of it by sending a pm to a couple of the last posters here... http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...ght=excellence

Looks like Gully might have it...or would know who has it.

Well I had a hard time getting the quotes to work earlier, and after about 20 tries gave up on the edit function, but this worked soooooo: I think it should have been OOOF instead of UFFF. LOL
