Well the good thing is NDSU and UND have never done it with their mascots, that could be difficult in one case and pretty illegal in the other.

how many yards for homicide?

[lakesbison]

its been 8 years, we are so far in front, yawn, carry on.

[weberwildcat]

[lakesbison]

NDSU/SDSU still is, highest attendence at both stadiums is that game, people plan out those games year in advance.

UND is not part of the BIG 3 Conglomerate.

Can you imagine what would happen if this was spotted in the San Francisco area?

I'm just waiting to see the PETA-heads get involved.

Ok, who did it?

This submitted photo shows what appears to be a dead coyote hanging from a University of South Dakota billboard, placed outside of Brookings Tuesday. The South Dakota State University student newspaper, The Collegian, reports the coyote was taken down by 6 p.m.

why arent the bison part of the big 3? shouldnt it be the dakota big 4?

1. I hope the coyote was already dead prior to the hanging.

2. I feel like the bunnies could've picked a better year to try s#!% talking considering they are close to the MVFC's doormat and USD is climbing the ranking ladder (a little too fast IMO but still...). Just sayin...

Well I think that it is more than OK for whoever did it due to the placement and the message of the board. It is literally on the interstate at the Brookings exit. What the hell do they think would happen to it?

A few years ago PETA demanded that a South Dakota high school changes it name.

Here's the letter that was sent to the school:

Dear Principal Morford

I'm writing to you on behalf of PETA, the world's largest animal rights organization, with more than 2 million members and supporters. In early October, PETA launched its Sea Kitten campaign, which suggests a name-change for fish as a way to promote empathy for them and other marine animals. Today, we're proposing that Spearfish High School adopt a new name to reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake.

We're hoping that by calling fish "sea kittens," compassionate people who would never hurt a dog or a cat will realize that fish feel pain and fear, just like furry and winged animals do. In fact, neurobiologists tell us that fish have complex nervous systems that comprehend and respond to pain. Fish communicate and develop relationships with one another, show affection by gently rubbing against other fish, and even grieve when their companions die. However, when they are dragged from the ocean's depths, sea kittens undergo excruciating decompression, often causing their eyes to pop out and pushing their stomachs out through their mouths. When they are tossed onto ships' decks, many sea kittens slowly suffocate or are crushed to death. This is no way to treat a "kitten."

Most parents would never dream of spending a family weekend torturing kittens, but hooking fish through their mouths and pulling them through the water is just as painful as hooking a cat's mouth and dragging him or her behind a car. We're hoping that this name change will encourage people young and old to start treating these gentle "kittens of the sea" with respect�”and show them the kindness that they deserve.

We hope that Spearfish High School will start off the semester right by changing its name to Sea Kitten High School. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Dan Shannon

Assistant Director

Is that a possibility UND fans?

what bout north vs north and south vs south? instate is not bigger?

Of course NDSU-SDSU will be bigger attended they have bigger stadiums.
according to wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_V ... Conference" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It goes NDSU (19,500), SDSU (15,000), UND (13,500), USD (10,000). But biggest hype will always be the in-state rivals. At least it is that way in North Dakota.

If the NDSU/UND rivalry was to be resumed in football this year, & the FargoDome had an unlimited capacity, the attendance for that game would be well over 25k.

Heck the basketball teams filled up over half the dome with 10k and NEITHER are basketball schools.

BFD. If Wa/Griz and Bobcat Stadium held 40k, the game would still sellout every year.

They are debating where the venue for the NDSU @ UND basketball game will be on January 17th in Grand Forks. Either the Ralph Engelstad Arena 12,806 or Alerus Center 9500.

I would say the Ralph, just because I have a personal grudge against the Alerus. I don't like that facility for any sporting event.

What is your record for those games? Obviously at Wa/Griz.
I want to come see a Cats/Griz game someday. My cousin went to MSU so I've been there and seen the stadium, but I want to visit Wa/Griz for that game. I will hopefully be there when NDSU comes to town in 2015?

Throwing the BS flag on that one. The SDSU-usd basketball game is already near sell out, and the SDSU-ndsu game has plenty of seats available. I will look forward to playing ndsu, but there is no doubt the usd game is going to be the biggest game in the state's history, bigger than when we beat you in 2008.

I concur but isn't throwing a BS flag on a Lakes post redundant? It pretty much goes without saying.
