Sorry I was still talking about the game from my younger years. I found the game I was looking for. It was 1982 against Virginia Union. I was wrong in that they didn't win the NC that year. Here is the write up from NDSU football guide. looks like SU was down 6 with a couple minutes left when the inadvertent whistle occurred. 1982 NCAA Quarterfinal FARGO, ND--North Dakota State hosted an NCAA playoff game for the first time since 1977 and the Bison were rewarded with a scary 21-20 opening-round victory over Virginia Union. The Bison scored two fourth-quarter TDs including a 1-yard run by Jeff Willis with 1:06 remaining in the game to pull out the win. NDSU trailed 20-7 early in the final stanza before holding the Panthers inside the Bison 40. The Herd then marched 59 yards in four plays with Mark Nellermoe hitting two big passes in the drive to Stacy Robinson and Jeff Conley. On the next possession, the Bison marched 80 yards in 16 plays for the game winner. The series was marred by an inadvertant whistle by an official on an apparent Virginia Union pass interception, and the ball was returned to the Bison on the Panther 14- yard line. The Bison scored four plays later. Virginia Union scored fi rst and had a 12-0 lead before the Bison's Jim Dick blocked a punt that was downed on the Union 2-yard line. Nellermoe took it in from the 1 on the next play.

Might have a flawed memory but will look for it. did they win any by 5? I remember 7 points the other way would have sealed it.

I remember a playoff game in the 80's or 90's in Fargo where SU was down 4 points or so with a few minutes left. SU qb got hit as his arm was moving forward. D Lineman picked ball off in mid air just as ref blew whistle. D Lineman was rumbling for a TD when a ref blew whistle. Ref was calling incomplete pass because arm was moving fwd. Inadvertent whistle and dead ball. Jumped the gun just before the player picked it off. SU went down and scored. On the NC that year

I missed the game. Can someone describe the play and call?

what math is that?

A young woman I coached in basketball went to Wisconsin. She was actively recruited for rowing once she got to campus because she had the right body type for it. I didn't realize they had so many on the team. I believe she was offered some scholarship money

Prices were dirt cheap in Vegas the day of the game.

Latest availability

Got in and got tickets but it was a mad house. Tickets said available but gone when chose them, tickets secured but then went away somehow. Twice it said I had the tickets but glitched during the payment process and kicked me to a waiting screen and had to start over when it came back. Missed on lower bowl. Went away too fast. Ended up in 204. I will second that it was very stressful.

I do the same.

That's just how he is - that is correct. He's always putting on a show and I do find it annoying. Just my opinion

Johnson was standing up by the time PJ got there. There was no reason for him to run on the field. He got excited because of the late hit and was putting on a show like he always does.

PJ might be in the Big 10 title game if he doesn't run on the field and get a 15 yard penalty when Johnson get's knocked down near the goal line. I would like to see what might have happened if Iowa had to start from their own 7 rather than the 22.

I would like to say again - our WRs as a group was a strength for us this year. We were lucky to have Wanzek, Toivonen and Maag and they were/are tremendous players. We had our season tickets next to some of the Wanzek family over the past 4 years and they are exactly the kind of people we want associated with our program. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncle, siblings (I believe) and cousins were at all of the home games and many of the away games. We are lucky to have them connected to the program also.

What position is he expected to play in college?

I didn't think he was very good against us. Missed a lot of throws. Here is his stat line against UND. SUU - Passing Player Cmp Att. Yds. TD INT Long Sack HELBIG, Chris 24 42 258 1 1 28 4

Noah was a tremendous WR at UND and we were lucky to have him. Same goes for Travis. Our WR group has been one of our strengths the last few years. Noah was one of the best we've ever had and the numbers prove it. The hit where Noah got hurt happened in front of me in the Alerus and the best word to describe it is jarring. He was turning up field and didn't have time to adjust to the tackler. The collision stopped both players cold. I'm very surprised he was able to play this weekend. He is a warrior.

Fully agree. Lots of reasons. Playing closer to home, girlfriend, size of town, school size.........

I think this is a mis-characterization of what he was saying. You really think that since we got to 7 wins so they were satisfied? That might be what the sound bite was but if you talked with him or anyone on the staff and they had a chance to elaborate they would tell you something like: We knew the minimum needed to make the playoffs was 7 wins so that was the bottom line goal and then we'll get after it in the playoffs from there.

I have a former teammate at UND that played a little in the CFL and is pretty plugged in with training methods. He brought up the lack of position specific training with Baukol a few years ago at an alumni event. Baukol told him that there was no need for that and that basic training was good for all players.

My thoughts on the team and coaches align with this. We need to find a way to get more high end players in the program. When you factor in that many of our players had limited or no other DI offers and how small we are in the OL and DL - our coaches must do a pretty good job with those players to get us into the playoffs. What we need to do is find a way to get more of the difference makers in the door. We have a number of them but not enough.

Was it ever stated why he lost captaincy?

I think we need to find a way to get kids who are bigger when they come in as freshmen and build them up from there.

Disappointed in the game today. It never felt like we were in it even when the score was close. We need to figure out how to get bigger and stronger in the OL and DL.

I didn't notice seeing as much of Boltmann as usual last week. Was he limited or did I just miss him? He did have a big catch and run for a first down in the 4th quarter.
