    Default Nickel Trophy Update

    Higher ed budget bill gives UND and NDSU the choice of playing for the trophy again or sending it to the Heritage Center in Bismarck:

    http://www.inforum.com/sports/425740...eside-bismarck

    "To promote national recognition and statewide enthusiasm, the legislative assembly encourages the University of North Dakota and the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science to play for the Nickel Trophy during the course of a National Collegiate Athletic Association football game. If the athletic director or president of either institution elects not to play for the Nickel Trophy, the Nickel Trophy must be permanently displayed in the Heritage Center."

    Meh, melt it down and do something useful with it. Who cares about a past rivalry with a D2 when we are running the table vs P5 and winning D1 championships

    I say put it on display. That was D2. It's not like the rivalry needs anything more to get fired up for

    Shouldn't Blue Key have a say in this since they actually own the thing?

    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    Thats what I was thinking as well. But it seems the people from up north are trying to dictate whats going to happen with it without even asking.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
