Hey guys, I'm a long time reader of siouxsports.com but I never post anything. I've probably been keeping track of everything on here since I was in Jr. High. I'm currently a UND student who has been to pretty much every home game since 2001 when the team first moved into the Alerus. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this upcoming season. With the current student attendence to games being what it is, I'm really hoping that the University gets the word out to the students about the home games better then what they have done in the past. Most of the students, from my experiences, view the football program as lower tier program due to ignorance. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get my friends to go to games and all they say is "Why would I spend my Saturday afternoon watching that when I can sit at home and watch all big name programs on TV." They just don't know the history of the program and they usually compare it to that school down south, with their recent success. Heck most of the students don't even know about the rivalry between the two schools and just assume that NDSU has been the top dog forever in the state of North Dakota. The future of UND football looks bright and I'm hoping the students and the community of Grand Forks sees this and comes out to games to support our guys. Thats just my two cents I guess on the attendence issue we've had in the past. Here to a great season in the Big Sky in 2012. Go Sioux
