I'd add the tailgating didn't have the zing it normally has. Also, my spot is next to the alumni tent and I noticed they seemed to have a small crowd, they have a large marked off area to the south of the tent that was not used.
The FB team didn't seam to be overly enthusiastic? Maybe looking ahead a little.
This bye week gives everyone extra time for preparation.
Next week game day should be an explosion.
Alerus hasn't hosted the;
sheep herders,
silage packers,
dairy milkers,
wheat stalkers,
calf pullers,
chicken chokers,
field rock pickers,
corn huskers,
swine shovelers,
pickup drivers,
bean counters,
fence fixers,
stock trailer loaders,
sun flower worshipers,
township board rotators,
hay bale rollers,
dirt road navigators,
since the earlier days of the Alerus.
One of those games held 13,500 fans.
