    This is UND level thinking. The only reason we went to space when we did is because the Soviets did it first.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

We have players in the discussion each year. I would assume we have more former players in the NFL than a lot of g5 schools and plenty of P5 schools.

    That's it.

He was highly touted coming out of H.S., and Mom told me NIU was after him BIG TIME. Now, NIU is an FBS school, in the Mid American conference, playing in a stadium that holds 23,000+, and their overall record in Bowl Games is 4-7. NIU brags about their having 2 Heisman finalists in the last 25 years, LeShon Johnson and Jordan Lynch.
    Mom told me that after many visits from the coaches(not just one) from NIU, and a scholarship offer, that their son told them that he is going to Fargo..Amen. They asked him why Fargo? He said bluntly..."They play for trophies up there, not a possible appearance in a bowl game".
    Just food for thought.
    They give trophies for bowl games. And conference championships. Even in the MAC. Next?

    This is sad on so many levels.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    Nothing sad about Boise State's 3 Fiesta Bowl trophies. I wouldn't mind having those on display in the SHAC.
