2nd Annual Nickel Bowl! Football supremacy between Eagle Wing I of NDSU and Eagle Wing II from UND |
 |
When
North Dakota State University (NDSU) announced their institutional move to
Division I football in early 2004 while the University of North Dakota (UND)
opted to stay Division II, it seemed that the battle for football supremacy in
North Dakota between the two pre-eminent Universities in the state was a thing
of the past – a 100 year tradition embodied with the annual presentation to the
victors in the gridiron classic an enormous trophy designed like the famous
“Buffalo nickel”, with the UND “Fighting Sioux” on one side of the coin and the
“Bison” of NDSU on the other. That trophy has been retired – but a new
competition for North Dakota football bragging rights has risen from the ashes
of the old rivalry.
Air
Force ROTC Detachment 610, the largest
Detachment in the nation with a “split Det” configuration - half the assigned
cadre working at NDSU in Fargo, and the other half 80 miles north at UND in
Grand Forks - has resurrected the competition with the cadets from each
wing playing for the "Nickel Trophy" Bragging Rights!
So, who was the winner? Why, Detachment 610, of course. Only winners are accepted at the only Air Force Detachment in North Dakota, drawing students from the host institution, the non-host institution, and 7 cross-town schools in North Dakota and Western Minnesota. All Det 610 cadets will ultimately end up winners upon commissioning in the world’s greatest Air Force.
