Actually its only football they haven't played. UND played NDSU in men's basketball last year in the Fargodome, 10,709 (NDSU record)people for the first Sioux-Bison game since early 2004. This year UND hosted NDSU in volleyball..another attendance record (2394). This season Jan. 17th... NDSU at UND for men's basketball at the Ralph Engelstad Arena which hosted Kansas in 2001 had a state record for attendance (13,280), should expect about 13,000 for this one! The rivalry is dead in football but alive in other sports.

Good thing this is the FCS football board.
Its a rival without the game. No school can top that.

The rivalry won't die unless we continue to not play until my generation dies. I was in jr. when the last football game was played and I hate them just as much today as I did then, it will never change for me. Regardless of whether we play in football again. We still play in every other sport but it is not the same.
For the strength of the Herd is the Bison and the strength of the Bison is the HERD
GO BISON!

UNI-NDSU is bigger and better and more hatred than anything in the PAST D2 years for NDSU.
#2 v #3 in country and every game influences the conference winner basically, and there was straight up hate between the players, fans & coaches that day. it was AWESOME!!

Historically 2 of the most successful programs in FCS with 9 National Championships between them. Many of their games over the last 25 years have had both SoCon and National meaning. Nice mixture a prue hate and respect between the programs.
I have heard that the Sun Belt plans on inviting these two schools in the likely event they get raided by C-USA in response to the Big East raiding C-USA.

South Dakota-South Dakota State can also make the claim.
But, I agree with previous posts--nothing comes close to the irrational hate by NDSU fans for all things UND. As for not playing UND in 8 years, they make up for it by playing UND regardless of which team they are actually playing.

Paybacks a bitch...just ask the NDSU volleyball team!!
The Jan. 17 game, which will be played at Ralph Engelstad Arena, will mark the first men's basketball game in Grand Forks between the storied rivals since the 2003-04 season. The two teams resumed their rivalry last December in Fargo in their first meeting as Division I opponents.
