When They Were Kings

Who cares about hockey?

Unless it is Bulldog hockey who actually understand the concept of not choking in the NCAA's.....

Watching this again was awesome. It's funny how when they highlight NDSU football, they talk about consistantly blowing out UN_ and talk about winning 8 national championship. When they highlight UN_ football, they highlight finially winning after a 12 game losing streak, winning 1 title and have a really good record against NDSU for a 12 year stretch. Pretty easy to see which program has been more successful. Although, UN_ fans will just point to the overall record as proof that they have been better then the Bison.

The definitive question is would you trade? Would you trade 10 (and counting) national championships for winning the last Nickel game and for a bunch of wins before the 60's? Any realistic observer on either side knows this isn't an argument even worth starting.

Of course I wouldn't. But every UN_ fan would tell you we're delusional for wanting to win championships in a "non true" division 1 title.

Man they must have their heads higher up their ass than any politician known to man.

I actually don't think that's true. Most of their fans understand what's going on. Of course, most of their fans have become our fans for football, which is another story altogether. They have some pot-stirrers on the internet, but they're in the minority, I think.

I was just told this yesterday. "How do you enjoy winning titles not in the highest division of your sport? We at least win in true D1 hockey."

He wasn't very happy when I pointed out how there is almost an even distribution between DI and DII schools in DI. It's pretty cool when they are beating the Texas's and USC's of the world in the almighty DI hockey!


Oh...wait.

I always go back to the fact they either have to choose a sport NDSU doesn't play in order to win a championship or wait for NDSU to leave before they can win one. Then, they go to the H2H record and "we have the Nickel" and I say our H2H comparison is 10>1 and the only trophies that matter today are the ones with footballs on the top.

Umm..huh? I thought the two schools were in the same division when UND won the football in 2001 and the women's BB in the late 90's? I'm confused.

Are you sure UND won in 2001? As I recall, the sideline passes read "North Dakota State University".

Here's common conversation with one of the few UN_ football fans I know:

Him: Bison suck at football.
Me: Right...10>1
Him: But who has the Nickel and the better head-to-head record?
Me: UN_ does, but I'd rather win NCs
Him: Whatever, that doesn't mean shit. UN_ has dominated NDSU on teh field
Me: Ok...I guess you agree that Minnesota is the better hockey program.
Him: No F'n way! We have 7 NC and they only have 5
Me: But they have a better head-to-head record
Him: That doesn't matter...
Me: Oh really now?
Him: Shut up...NDSU sucks.
Me: (laughing) Keep telling yourself that
Him: F' you
Me: 10>1
Him: Whatever...You're stupid
Me: Ok
Him: ....
