Do you want to live by the sweat of your own brow or do you want to live in a commune?

If you give the wrong answer, the commune will be pissed.

Starting in the early 1900s and ending in 1926, ND tried but was denied entry into the Western Conference (Big10) three times. In fact, there was a Michigan boycott against scheduling games with ND. The jealousy and hatred does still exist IMHO. The negativity and slander by talking heads just a few short weeks ago really exposed the bias. So, next time you hear some sports dude or dudette whining about ND joining a conference, make them eat their words with these facts.
