A little frustration from my son on this account. He was at all of the games and checked in to all but they somehow missed him for the $1500 drawing. He wasn't aware that they were calling all of the people who were in the drawing because they didn't announce the process. He didn't know he was missed until they called the people onto the field for the drawing. He went into the Nodak Nation office today and they told him they know he was there for all of the games because they recognized him. They said their scanner must not have worked for his card at homecoming and were sorry but obviously it's too late now. On homecoming he went down and hung up the Sack City sign and then went up and had his card scanned after the first offensive series. There were only about 15 people in the drawing so his chances really would have been pretty good. I know not many kids go to the games but they don't follow through for the ones that do.

I don't know anything about what happened to Olivera.. but I blew my ACL many years ago and was told that the hope was that I dislocated my patella instead. The trainer said that if that happened it could relieve the pressure on the ACL and maybe it wouldn't go too. They told me a patella dislocation was better than blowing your ACL. That was 20 years ago so maybe things have changed.

hopefully we will be able to start redshirting all freshmen again so they would be 2 years behind those guys.

both guys were standing straight up and the lunged at Santiago leading with helmet

Watching on tv. Santiago took a shot to the head on punt return. Helmet to helmet. Prob won't be back

damn. I'm gonna miss my first home game of year. In Beijing and don't get to MSP til Saturday afternoon. Couldn't tell my boss I need to bail out early and all the expense that goes with that to go to a football game My three kids should be there and my son says he is bringing our Sack City sign so I am contributing what I can. My wife says she will have game on I-heart radio when she picks me up. Go Sioux

Thanks for the updates. Following from Beijing today.

Not saying that but if Taubenheim was arguing about it he knows he made it and that was proven correct by the game pics.

If Taubenheim says he made the kick I believe him. He would know. He has kicked thousands of footballs in practice and in games and it is easy to know if you made it or not after watching so many kicks.

I voted Nodaks and think we can turn it from derogatory to positive if we embrace it. Very much like Wisconsin people did with the Cheesehead name. It used to be very derogatory but now I wish I had invented the cheese wedge hat.

I lost my voice on Sunday and still don't have it back. I wonder if screaming at the refs after that play is what happened to me.

100% agree. If he made it he made it. Nobody says we should have gotten that fumble out earlier so ref couldn't screw that up. Thankfully there was replay on that one.

still a lot of work to do but I'll be there too if we make it.

wasn't on the couch. Made the 5 hour drive to be at the game. We don't have a couch in our tailgating area and there aren't any in the Alerus as far as I know. Hope you were there too. It was a lot of fun. Maybe MSU hadn't run any of those trick plays this year but if they had we should have been at least a little prepared. The throw back to the QB was a bad toss or they would have scored there too.

Gophers were inept at end of game. Down 3 with 19 seconds left and a time out left. 1st and goal at 1/2 yd line. After 1st play - 2 seconds left. Failed on sneak on last play.

hey....my kid (UND student) was there til the end. It can be done

I can see these MSU trick plays coming. We get burned. Don't we watch film?

My understanding is that we don't have a true qb coach. Is that true? It would seem like a critical coaching position to me.

Not based on what I have heard. I have heard nothing but good about his attitude and lifestyle.

This is a reach at best.

Also - this isn't the US Constitution that was amended. It was someones plan for a runoff for a new nickname.

It is really hard to believe that anybody is trying to rig the vote by adding a third choice. I'm sure the conversation was: there is no statistical difference between 2 and 3 so let's include both. Not - I bet we can swing the final vote to __________ if we include three options. I guess this kills the talk that the fix was in for North Stars.

I'm with you on this one. People looking for a conspiracy where nothing exists, especially when adding Nodaks gives their choice (and mine) a chance.

I don't think they are mad at him either. I said they must be mad at him as a back door way to say that there is no reason he shouldn't be given a shot. I have heard great things about him as a person and have watched him on the sidelines this year. He has been very into the games and appears genuinely exited for the team when the other QBs have done good things.
