Why go to EWU when NDSU is just up the road in Fargo? We need another game next year and there aren't alot of options on the table so our AD may even be willing to travel down to UNI for the first part of a home and home. NDSU vs UNI would be a great early season match-up and would probably even be the IAA game of the week for 9-9. I know NDSU is in talks with EWU as well but I think a UNI-NDSU match-up would be better for both of our schools.

I won't dispute that I would love to see this rivalry renewed. Right now though a win on the road at EWU would look better than a home win over NDSU. Either way, I'm okay with it. But if we don't go to EWU, then I think we might have to play SD...

We can't Play SD they have a game that day!

Trust me,

a win over NDSU in Fargo is going to be looking very nice come Nov. 25th.

We have a brutal schedule already and don't be suprised to see NDSU knock off some of those teams.

According to a poster over at Bisonville.com EWU has scheduled to play West Virginia on 9/9 which has filled the final spot on their schedule. Have any Panther fans heard who you might be playing on 9/9? Hopefully NDSU and UNI can work out some kind of deal because I think this would be a great match-up.

[MplsBison]

That poster was me. This is pretty much guaranteed to be true.

Buffalo backed out of their 9/9 game with WV and if you go to a WV board there is lots of talk about it. Etc.


The bottom lines is, NDSU and UNI are destined to play each other, in my opinion.


I know NDSU was really hoping for another home game in 06, but UNI is the established I-AA team and we are the transition team. I think we should just schedule UNI in Cedar Falls and be done with it.

Can you guys come to Fargo in 07 or 08?

[jegbomb52]

NO, we won't, but thanks for asking!

[CanuckPanther]

When I was in school, we drove to Fargo for a game once....
You guys literally ambushed us That was a LONG drive back.

[MplsBison]

NO, we won't, but thanks for asking!

Are you guys looking for a DII on 9/9?

[BCPanther]

I would think we have an open date to come to Fargo in 2008??

[MplsBison]

Well, looks like you guys might be SOL for a DI-AA game on 9/9.

EWU is going to West Virginia and looks like NDSU is going to Minnesota.


You guys wanted a DII team anyway, just don't know if there are any left needing games.

[MplsBison]

You guys lost out on NDSU.

We're playing the Gophers.

Eastern Washington is playing West Virginia.



Good luck finding a DII team for 9/9.

Thanks for the goodluck. Especially since we had so much factored into this decision.
