Yes, that is correct - and to be honest I don't know if they would be or not. If they were not, I think it would be pushing the high end of things, especially in a year where booster/Bobcat Club fees are going up.

HEY butt wipe. UND had a press conference in 2003 stating "NOT TO PLAY NDSU WHEN NDSU WENT D1"

so we have let und lie by their dish for 10 years, its called karma, they are doormats , NDSU is back 2 back natty champs. Funny how NDSU has been just fine without those anchor's around our necks.

both Minnesota-NDSU games had 25000-30000 NDSU fans *10 SECONDS INTO THIS CLIP* [youtube][/youtube] Those FBS games were bigger you dimwit. Im sorry your stupid cousin in grand forks feels shame,

Since they are not a BIG market team and don't have big market revenues how much can they afford? I heard we got somewhere around $600K for the Michigan State game a few years back but I would assume this game payout is pretty small.
$300,000 is the payout from SMU.
Still just seems strange. So that leaves us 200K after the payout... and then we have to pay travel expenses on that... are we even going to make much on this? Chalk it up to an expensive recruiting trip I suppose.
You are leaving out the extra home game that is going to be scheduled.

It meant you were being a F***** A****** in his opinion, I'd guess.

Can't disagree with it, either. Even after TomCat repeatedly clarified his already obvious opinion, your meltdown continued.

It was epic, so thank you for that, but didn't you first post B***S**t to him even after he tried to talk you off of the ledge?

Fellow Cat fans. Please quit responding to tampa. It's been painful to read the beatdown he has been administering to some of you home-dogs. All of you who have been getting shined by this guy are starting to make the entire fanbase look ridiculous and pathetic.


PS. In regards to the Great Bison Backdown...They're the National Champs. We were scheduled to go to their place and throw down. We (PF and the coaching staff) watched the NC game, noticed that our lips were quivering and our bowels involuntarily loosened, and got on the horn the next day scurrying around trying to find a game - any game - to replace them with. We need a new AD.

Are you serious. Are you really that stupid. The NDSU-UM game was in Minnesota. Guess what moron, your fans just dumped a ton of money in the pockets of Minnesota. That does nothing for NDSU. And meantime, 90% of Minnesota could give a sh*t about the game and was likely watching reruns of Coach. Whereas, when NDSU played UND the whole state was interested in the game. Just because the tin can you play in can't hold 25,000 people, the 18,700 that show up for the game, along with the thousands of the NDSU and UND fans that tune into the game at local bars and resturants provide revenue to businesses across North Dakota, dip sh*t.

And again, as I pointed out to you with something called "proof" rather than your stupid self-serving statements, UND stopped playing NDSU because NDSU would not (and still won't) agree to play every year because they are chickensh*t (but of course, as stated by NDSU's AD it is using the financial excuse). Well of course its financially better for NDSU to play ever other year and try to force UND to come to their house. But since finacial logic escapes you and you come on here whining like a b*tch calling out the players and coaches of MSU, we can just leave it at the fact that it is UNDISPUTED NDSU WILL NOT AGREE TO PLAY UND EVERY YEAR, ERGO NDSU MUST BE CHICKENSH*T. Here in Montana, whether you are a Cat or a Griz (although their was a few years when a few Griz fans starting spewing out the same moronic drivel as you), you understand that a rivalry game that has been played for 120 year is a h*ll of lot more important to the State than playing any other team in the country. Why, because the whole state cares about the game and it provides revenue across the state to Montana businesses.

But hey, keep coming back with your A&& clown comments because you are really living up to the North Dakota stereo-type.

Not sure what happened to your quote of lb, but I can't figure it out so I'll leave it. I grew up in Minnesota and followed Gopher football some. I know for a fact the only people from MN that cared about the NDSU-UM-TC game were people with ties to NDSU. They don't care what happens in their games. Gophers fans are interested in two games a year and that's it. Their two rivalry games, Iowa and Wisconsin. I know some consider Michigan a rival since there's a trophy but it's not an important game to Minnesota. So you can say all you want about Gopher fans being down about losing to NDSU but it reality they don't give a crap about it, they care when they lose to Iowa and Wisconsin, other than that they can hardly put anyone besides season ticket holders in their brand new stadium.
