My math says they were missing 36.8% of their fans. 7000/19000.

Word on the street is Kill won over a lot of Gopher fans at the press conference.

I like the North Dakota Fighting Plainsmen, I pray ever night the new nickname is not an animal. The best transition would be another "group of people."

Read the comments in the newspaper article. 90% of gopher fans are not happy about this choice. Many calling for Maturi to resign/get fired? Maturi's last pick for head coach was horrible (brewster) and I don't see anything changing with Kill. Glen Mason had over a 52 winning percentage at Minnesota over ten seasons with a 60% winning average the last five years he was there......and he was fired.

I am glad they hired him. He seems like an average coach. Kill has a 23-16 record at NIU Southern Illinois (55-32 in seven seasons), Emporia State (11-11 in two seasons) and Saginaw Valley State (38-14 in five seasons).

Not for him as he mentioned. He profits from both cities. Its funny. Our neighbors, the ones most like us, seem to be the ones we are suppose to hate (rivalry).

That's a well kept secret.

Considering Siouxsports.com is a sponsor of this event (which is cool to see) are there any members here planning on attending?

And the originator of the trophy, UND alumni.

I could never buy a Plasma. The glare would drive me crazy.

To bring up an old topic, but I love showing off my projector. Here's a picture of me watching the Sioux beat Wisconsin in High Definition on the 100" "TV" in my apartment! And a couple Sioux fans doing the "terrorist fist jab" in the background. (maybe I should have combed my hair)

This is where you start to get worried with a split.

Does this make you delusional? Or just simple minded since there was 12k at the Fargodome tonight? The attendance has got to be one of the greatest disappointments in NDSU football history.

Don't you have a picture of a Sioux football player as your avatar on bisonville.com?

7-0 RM scored on the opening drive. Didn't expect that. Lots of run plays. The quarterback likes to run.

Yes on NBC.

Lennon's third year as head coach.

Six more hours to sell tickets and I am sure there will be a large walkup crowd.

And is it really needed by UND? an extra 4-6,000 fans every other year for one game at UND? Percent wise of fans attending sporting events at their perspective colleges UND would have less to gain.

I am sure that Notre Dame is hating it!!! But the Sioux are LUVIN it. I get up and dance. When people see how much fun I am having to the song they start having more fun too

So on the biggest eve of Bison football ever, I took a sioux fan bus to the hockey game. Boy was it fun. Another sellout crowd. Bus after Bus lining up outside the ralph. I boarded one. Looked out the window and saw the magnificent Ralph Engelstad Arena as we parted. Sioux fans in the back of the bus started chanting "!@#$ the gophers." I was reminded how little the word "bison" even cross most Sioux fans mind..... Just went to bisonville.com. Clicked their main sports page: "football"....clicked "playoff crowd" (only topic in the top five relating about the game tomorrow).....went to the current page (25) with six of the eight posts having some kind of reference to the Fighting Sioux. Different cultures indeed at the two schools.

Notre Dame is for real. Probably split. I think we will see Eids in net one of the nights.

I hate to give a way my secrets especially to a Bison Fan but here you go. It's top notch rankings. They use it to help determine the Champion Game in the BCS. It should help you realize just how weak Robert Morris is. Massey Ratings 23-6.

Anyways.....Now that we all agree NDSU was better than Montana this year (and the computer rankings even back it up). They also say NDSU has a 90% chance of winning this game.

Your right UNDershirt. Welcome to the Board. But I wouldn't expect them to run the bubble screen four times in a row. I was tired of watching it back then, but found myself wishing they used it a lot more this year especially with our seemingly inaccurate passers. For what its worth, one of the plays was the "long run of the day." He gets a little more leeway. As much as I may be unhappy with Mussman, I wouldn't fire him this year. He is learning and had a lot of things going against him.
