I'd love to have 12000 in the Alerus.....

Tied at 21 at the half

7 EWU 14 SHSU EARLY 2nd qtr

Could easily be 28-0. Same wideout for the Eags dropped two perfectly placed bombs and Adams badly overthrew a receiver in the end zone.

Let's not forget that ESPN is showcasing the nation's top FCS conference today, the Big Sky. #1 Eastern Washington kicks of its season today at 2:30 central on "The Mothership".

Yeah if I recall they ramped up to 63 pretty quickly. I believe they went from 36 in the last year of DII in 2007 to 50 in 2008 which was the first year of DI and then to the full 63 in 2009. But the way last season unfolded, one would think we were still playing with only 36.

Not sure if you are being serious or not, but North Dakota is fully funded with 63 scholarships.

Sometimes I'm not sure what is worse: an NDSU football fan, or a UND Hockey Fan.

This.

Nobody has a bigger smile on his face today than Gene Taylor. He definitely got the last laugh.......

Of course I will support UND in the game. I expect UND to win the game because that is what I expect every week. Unlike a lot of fans though I view a National Championship as the crown jewel, while many fans view beating the Bison and Gophers as the ultimate accomplishment and are willing to take it in the shorts to accomplish that. Think about it. NDSU will travel to Weber-freaking-State, but not to Grand Forks. And apparently many fans and the UND Brass are OK with that because as long as we are playing the Bison that is all that matters.

And in this particular rivalry, we just became Delaware St. to their Delaware.

I wish all the "stakeholders" and everyone involved with the University would put this much passion, energy, and focus into beating the likes of Montana St. and EWU. Then this program could really go somewhere again.

Those are teams we would go to when we need a "buy game". UND just announced that when NDSU needs a "buy game" that we are for sale.

This is very disappointing. I am fine with playing FU again. But to agree to two consecutive games in Fargo is ridiculous. What's next? A splash page at UND's website proclaiming NDSU as the top university in North Dakota? Might as well play all the other sports in Fargo too I guess. What a slap in the face to the Grand Forks community and UND Alumni.

See my signature. Run it down their throat. That is how we won 8 games despite having Joey Bradley at QB.

I'm a bit surprised to see Pecosky ahead of Iverson.

Went to UC Davis last year which is not all that far from San Jose. I'd say there was around 400-500 at that game. I'd think it would be similar here. I suspect a lot more SJSU fans than there were Aggie fans of course.

They weren't at similar levels when NDSU followed Noerthern Colorado to DI. UND was actually quite a ways ahead in pretty much all sports. These things go in cycles. NDSU won't be the defending champs forever, and UND won't be rebuilding forever. Some North Dakota fans worry far too much about NDSU and UMTC. I sometimes get the feeling that some fans would prefer wins against those programs to conference and national titles.......

I let it go a long time ago.

Maybe they actually had great vision. Had we also followed Northern Colorado at the same time, we would likely be wallowing in the Summit and MVFC right now along side the rest of the Dakota schools. No thanks. The 5 year wait was a small price to pay for Big Sky affiliation, IMO. If we had to do it all over again, I'd want it done the same way.

I hate defending FU, but they have won 8 national titles without Craig Bohl. I think that the group of North Dakota fans that are hoping for the demise of NDSU football due to the departure of Craig Bohl are likely going to end up being disappointed.

I say over 10,000. The opener and Potato Bowl generally well attended. Add in curiosity about the coaching change as well.

Where is Idaho in your scenario?

Jones puts the schedule together. Moody did it before he left, Jones has done it ever since.
