    Read the article.....notice no quotes/comments from NDSU officials? Yea, most likely because they weren't invited to the retirement party. In fact, i found it on the web........went to the Historical site calendar and didn't see it on their daily calendar as well. In fact, a colleague of mine who is a ardent UND alumni/fan never received an email on this event. They didn't want NDSU to be there, in fact the article states the alumni want to make sure the nickel is displayed "right side out". If that isn't racist .

    Anyway, why the f**ck would NDSU partner with an underling university that grovels at our feet wanting recognition for what we've paved over the last 15 years?

    Not in favor of it. No. Not ever. Pricks. That's all they are. Arrogant pricks.

    Nightmare scenario. A committee is formed (idea thought by und, of course), and they they spend months taking surveys, doing petitions, consulting other schools and people around the state, alumni, former football players, 5 ideas are selected, narrowed down to 3, voted down to 1, needing approval by representatives of both schools, design options are looked at, narrowed down to a couple, decideding on one, trophy is made.....and a huge collective sigh is heard as we all wonder why time and effort was wasted on such a a piece of garbage.

    Let's be honest, calling them pricks is an insult to pricks.

    I have such horrible and indecent things to say about the idea of a new trophy and anyone bringing the idea to legislation that I can't even write any of it. Horrible.

    You forgot the committee hiring a search firm.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    No room for a rivalry with the school up north. The Bison have enough with SDSU, UNI, JMU and every team that is talented enough to make it to Frisco to play the Bison. Those are our rivalries.

    YES! Love this.

    I want a trophy. In state rivalries are the best part of college football, and I'm looking forward to the series renewing.

    That's why I like the Mega Dakota Marker.
