[edit] Wrestling

Why was the wrestling deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leopold Samsonite (talk • contribs)

[edit] NDSU/UND

UND is part of NDSU's past! Apparently it's difficult to UND supporters to realize that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GothmogLOB (talk • contribs)

I'm no UND supporter, but I can now see where you are coming from. The section you deleted didn't seem too pro-UND, but that's from an outside observer (actually, I'm an Oakland University person, so The Summit League is my connection to NDSU). Seems to me that the paragraph about the SDSU rivalry should be kept, and maybe also a mention of the rivalry with UND and the Nickel Trophy with most of the current details removed. That's just my thought though X96lee15 15:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I found a good general infobox for this page. Check it out at the Maine Black Bears article. I think that if somebody used that infobox and changed the info so that it fit NDSU, we could put it up on this article. GO BISON! TRBUFF 01:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good --NDState 14:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Could we use that infobox?TRBUFF 22:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I dont think there is anything against it? --NDState 04:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

Could we use the new Bison logo on this page?TRBUFF 22:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I dont see why not. Do you want to put it up? --NDState 04:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I decided to put the new Bison logo on the football page. Will keep primary logo on athletics page. TRBUFF 21:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finished Infobox

I finished the infobox. But for some reason the colors would not come up. Will look for new bison logo. TRBUFF 22:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Why can't I get the colors?!TRBUFF 14:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe I fixed the problem. --MatthewUND^(talk) 05:49, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List Format

Do you think that the part of the article which is in list format should be turned into a paragraph format? If so, I would gladly do so. TRBUFF 20:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Prose is usually preferred over lists so yes, I think that would be a good idea. --MatthewUND^(talk) 01:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] North Dakota State Bison vs. North Dakota State University Bison

I was just wondering why North Dakota State Bison is used as opposed to North Dakota State University Bison? Thanks --NDState 04:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Look at some of the other articles in Category:College athletic programs...most state university athletic programs are listed as "X State" and not as "X State University". --MatthewUND^(talk) 04:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, just checking. --NDState 05:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Central Michigan Win

Should we include the Bison's win over Central Michigan on this page? I saw that the win over Ball State was noted. Most likely any win over an FBS school should be noted. TRBUFF 22:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure of the rules/guidelines related to this. --NDState 21:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
