    It's like after dumping a clingy girlfriend and moving cities when you later find out she's moved to the same city...

    "NO! We are not getting back together and NO you can't leave your toothbrush at my place again!"

    "And yes! There IS somebody else who is way smarter and hotter and less bitchy than you!"
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    That must be why all the coaches and players talk about tradition so much.

    But every 4 years or so you invite her over for a Saturday night just to remind her what she’s missing out on?

    The Nickel has an important tradition all its own, and I am not going to dismiss that tradition.

    But some traditions come and go, depending on the circumstances. The tradition of the Veer Option, for example. If there was one tradition that ever has run its course BECAUSE of the circumstances, A trophy game between NDSU and UND might be the one.

    And do you really think the traditions that the players and coaches have been talking about over the past 10 years, has anything remotely to do with the Nickel Trophy?

    Well, only if you take their words literally. Multiple players have talked about the tradition of the program going back to the 60's.

    I'll leave it at this. I want a trophy for our historic in state rival. I guess you guys don't. I can't control it one way or the other.

    Discussing and remembering the traditions of the past doesn't mean that one has to be bound by them forever. Culture and traditions evolve over time. Don't worry, you will get your trophy. It is still ridiculous.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    If UND wants a rivalry so bad, make them EARN it. They have lost all respect from NDSU since the last time we played. Tell them we’ll call it a rivalry once you beat us

    That’s next year just ask them self righteous people from up north. We are on a decline We hired a poor coaching staff they got Freund as an oc plus they got the best recruits in the country coming in. Now they worry more about Brock Robbins than their own program.
