I love the sign at the VA hospital in Fargo that says...UND Parking. I don't see any NDSU parking in Grand Forks. Hmmm.
Why would NDSU want parking in Grand Forks? Why would anyone want anything to do with Grand Forks for that matter?

Right, but they're both still called Miami. And it's easier to get them mixed up than UND-NDSU. Happens all the time (used to live in Oxford, believe it or not....)

I guess Grand Forks is a place where Championship banners go, while Fargo is just a fictional place no one has heard of except on the big screen.

It is easy to mix them up, but FWIW it's Miami University (Oxford, OH), and University of Miami (FL), officially.

According to the Capital One cup, a hockey championship banner (20) is worth 1/3 of a FCS football championship banner(60). So by getting the FCS Championship banner you can exchange it for 3 Hockey banners. :lol:

WOW. I didn't know NDSU had 9, count 'em, NINE football championships. Where do you guys hang that many banners? You must have an awful lot of flag poles!

Let's not forget that we were playoff ineligible for almost a quarter of those years. We had a couple playoff quality teams during those years that could have contended for a title.

...and yeah we are good at that one.

Cue darell spouting off und's “recent" record vs. ndsu.

Actually UND has had title droughts before. UND went from a title in 1963 to a title in 1980. Then racked up 3 titles in 7 years. A 10 year drought from 87-97, before their last title in 2000 started the current drought of 12 years. So it happens just like NDSU's long standing drought of 21 years (make that 17 years if you don't count the transition years). UND has had chances at breaking the drought and has been in the NCAA tournament every year since 2000 except for 2001-2002 season. Its better to have a chance at a title by being in the playoffs then sitting home. NDSU had how many playoff chances between 1990 and 2011....8 times in 17 years of eligibility.

I get a good laugh at your crap on here. Keep it up!


I'll take NDSU's athletic pedigree over UND's anyday.

Oh, by the way....darel....the MN Section 8A football section title game last fall, there were probably more students from F-B there then at a typical UND game....lol

What can you get your FB season tickets for? $50?

So what's your point? UND also plays Michigan, Notre Dame, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Boston College....how many BCS teams does NDSU play every year? And before you blast me for talking hockey....you started it.

Since our transition ends in 7 days, and we become playoff eligible and we are in a strong conference...our attendance will rise back to where it was prior to transition. For your inquirie on season tickets...where will you be sitting. :lol:

I teach AP US History, English Lit, TOEFL Speaking & Writing and SAT writing to Chinese kids who are planning on going to college in the US.

Coincidentally, one of my girls was accepted at Ohio State, another at Miami-Oxford, but I had a heck of a time getting them to understand that University of Washington and Washington University were actually two different schools :facepalm: .
