The score of the game itself may not be, but the atmosphere will be great for players, coaches, and fans. Nobody is expecting a close game, nor should it be. Tech beat Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma State, Kansas last year.

Tech would probably be favored by about 24-28 over Iowa State right now. Hope North Dakota beats the spread, but in case you are tempted to bet the house and take the points Other Tech scores against 1-AA division teams 2006 SE Louisiana 62-0 2007 NW Louisiana 75-7 2008 Massachusetts 56-14

Tech also had 639 yards offense and Eastern ran for 23 yards in 22 carries. There is going to be a big mismatch of talent on the line of scrimmage. If North Dakota gets a couple of turnovers, a few big plays on offense and special teams it will be a relatively competitive for a while. If Tech gets a couple turnovers or big plays early it will get ugly quickly on the scoreboard. Tech is breaking in a new QB and Leach will want to give him plenty of snaps with Texas game in two weeks. It won't be to run up the score, just giving him as much game experience as possible.

What was the connection to get Bennett to UND? Desoto HS and surrounding area would be a great pipeline to tap into. Is he a redshirt candidate or will he play right away? His high school team plays on ESPN Sat night at 6:00. They are loaded with D-1 prospects.

Mplsbison he is from NDSU, his black and white 13 inch TV only shows grainy 25 year old football games, women he dated in college had skin that looks like thier face started on fire and their mom put it out with a rake. He hasn't seen a good looking women since his grade school music teacher.

Says the person with perfect physical features, who turns down 6 figure modeling gigs each week.

Ordered tickets thru Stub Hub last week got tickets on vistors side on 35 yard line for face value. Showed up on doorstep 3 days later via Fed-Ex.

Have had the joy of tailgating at many Big 12 football games. It is an absolute pleasure. People are excited, happy, friendly, talkative, and generous with the food and beverages. They will want to know all about North Dakota and its team so it is an advantage to wear clothes indentifying yourself. It starts early and ends late with many TV's tuned to other games. It will be warm so dress for it. Hats and sunglasses help. It is easy to overconsume because of the environment so pace yourself. Get to stadium early, pre-game is usually very impressive. Have fun, support your team, make new friends. If you are a football fan try to attend a SEC or Big 12 football game at least once. You will go back and beg your AD to find another game to schedule to matter the score because of the experience.

Just using the Dallas area as an example, they finished 2nd in tier I 18-under (finishing higher than Shattuck) after losing in OT in championship game and won in tier II 18-under (Dakota Starz had semi final team in tier 2 16-under). This with 3 best kids from area in national program Brown, Amburgury, Fallon. And leading defenseman scorer in USHL as a 18 year old, DU recruit and 4th round NHL draft pick Donovan A couple of the highest ranked 13-15 year olds in country

Stub Hub is usually a good option for tickets, supply/demand will usually change as it gets closer to game and impact prices either way.

Or D1 and D1-JV which would be the clearest way to define the difference. It maybe POLITICALLY CORRECT to use FBS and FCS but it is still very common for large schools to refer to "1-AA" games and have fans groan when schedules come out with a 1-AA game. Even more so than when hockey powers schedule RIT, Wayne State like teams, even though they are all the same classification.

Ludwig is a solid defensive defenseman, strong on his skates. makes many jarring open ice clean hits. Should continue to grow inches and pounds. Best of the three brothers. (one was drafted by NHL)

Hearing voices already?? Dementia at such a early age.

How many drinks so far today?? It's almost noon.

What does having support of the tribes really mean anyway? Sure we could get the support today, like UND has had in the past but that doesn't mean they will not go back on the agreement later. If that happens we are in the same boat anyway and back to the struggle to keep the name. I really don't like leaving this decision in the hands of people change their views on the nickname on a whim or whenever they think they want or need something else. I really think people should speak with their pocket books on this issue and if the tribes continue to behave this way, the casino's they own should suffer a boycott from anyone who disagree's with what they are doing. Oh, that makes me a hateful racist doesn't it. At least according to most of the 20 or so who have been protesting the nickname and logo. It doen't make you look racist at all, but it sounds alot like my teenagers point of view when they don't like a decision we make. Casinos exist because most people enjoy gambling, not support or oppose the owners views. Should UND fans never go to Mystic Lake casino because they support Minnesota's athletic program?

If the University cannot find an effective method of negotiation over the next three years they aren't being creative enough. Every group wants or needs something they don't currently have. Threatening to take things away generally is counter productive and not very clever.

You have never done business in Chicago, they do political corruption as an art form. Your post is a perfect example of making any solution more difficult rather than easier. Thanks for helping.

Maybe they don't want to spend another couple of million. Donors no matter how wealthy, have limits, especially with the outcome uncertain. While you have every right to have a strong opinion, the board has pragmatic concerns as well as personal opinions.

Players get kicked off teams all the time for things that aren't against the law. How many times do players go away for lack of ability, lack of intiative, insubordination, violation of team rules. This type of behavior should be at least as serious as sleeping through meetings and missing workouts which can lead to expulsion. Some coaches and fans love to hide behind the legal system when it serves a purpose. I think Brewster sends a strong message that bad behavior is bad behavior irregardless of the criminal ramifications. I am reasonably sure if they are only guilty of disgustingly poor judgement another college will be happy to forgive and forget (if they are talented enough)

MAYBE readers would meet you halfway if your posts didn't read like junior high angst. That is what your lecture implies. Attempt to persuade not harangue, it really does work better.

Yes, Price Is Right reruns are on, scurry back to your remote control and Old Milwaukee.

Can anyone here truely say they wouldnt want to have that access? I know of one particular person,who after the Frozen 4 loss to BC in Milwaukee rather than go to the night game was lucky enough,because of a relationsip he has with someone, to go to dinner with Tony Hrkac and other memebers of the 87 championship team. All of us would die for that chance Die for that chance? Because somebody played hockey or is an athlete doesn't automatically make them great dinner guests. Some of the old players I have met are great guys and a blast to have a beer with, some frankly aren't. Having access usually isn't that interesting. How well they played in college or NHL has zero correlation to thier personality or insight. I have sat through enough boozy "glory days" conversations that aren't interesting in the least. I have also had the pleasure to meet some ex-players that are well rounded, funny, and truly never bring up old hockey stories unless asked directly. FYI a "good friend" talked to Cary Eades a couple of weeks ago and the only thing he complained about was evaluating and recruiting kids that are 15-16 rather than 17-19.
