OFFICIAL BISONVILLE SPONSOR OF:Tatanka™ brand humor. Gary Bettman's incompetence. The process of recommending a task force to recommend a process to be suggested to another task force, and of meetings called to discuss future meetings.

Assuming this is the brainchild of the NDSU Athletic and/or Marketing Departments, it's pretty scary to me that at least SOMEONE with decision making authority thinks that this game is a "big deal".
C'mon people, this is the 4-time defending champ against a Big Sky also-ran. ............................It's our powder puff game!
It would be just as effin' stupid and meaningless to put out a Weber State game shirt...............and they're the BETTER TEAM!
Matt Larson, you need to nip this kind of thinking in your department, right now!! (OMG, they are even making me sound like Chapo now!)
Obviously they worked with und to make this shirt; they would have to in order so sell items with their name and logo. So who's to say it wasn't their idea. Either way, some people will buy it. But I agree that most won't. They hate us, we hate them. Why would I want anything with und or their logo on any of my clothing?! Maybe some will for nostalgic purpases but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.

This is pretty high on the list of bad ideas.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
Even if it was a Whioux idea, the top program in FCS football could have (and should have) simply responded with a firm, but respectful "No Thanks."
The whole reason behind getting down on your knees and taking this game (and the next one in 2019) from a UND perspective, is to create the perception (and perception only) that the two schools are peers on the football field. And now it appears someone at NDSU took the bait........................ hook, line and sinker.
I have never purchased the ndsu/FBS game shirts. The only frisco shirt I bought was the throw another Bearkats on the grill shirt cause that one was too funny.
So I'm not going to start buying this kind stuff now. That said, I think whoever dreamed this up isn't located in Fargo.
