They already implemented it for their games this year. Their OOC game against Montana was $45/35 (sideline/endzone), SDSU and homecoming was $40/30 and the rest of the games at $35/25. Now if what they said in their press conference is true and UND is just another game that will help fill the schedule, I would fully expect price to reflect that and the UND game will be at bottom end of the scale. Wasn't much discussion about the pricing structure though...

That the reason that NDSU supposedly couldn't win anymore was because everyone had the same amount of scholarships?

Oddly enough, I did all those last weeks and they didn't work. Now today for some reason, it is working. Technology...

You are correct. I meant to type against and not at. On a separate note, the Quote feature finally works on IE for me!!

While all of these are true, you left out that South Carolina absolutely flopped at against A&M and there is no highly ranked match-ups. Everything you stated would completely be overridden in a heartbeat if that was the case. And don't claim sour grapes, the article in the Forum spells out the exact same thing. Fargo has been a nice fallback for them for the second year in a row when there hasn't been a big time game.

Simmons officially listed as out (shoulder). Guessing Shaugs is going to get his chance to shine. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few carries by Sharp either.

Taking this with a grain of salt considering the game was at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center and there are multiple banners with variations of the Sioux logo that are up in the rafters.

I didn't think Mollberg was as big of the issue with the offense as some. He made a few bad throws, but the WR/TE's dropped more than a handful. He threw a nice out to a TE low and away, leading him and in a spot the defender had no chance at it and the TE just dropped it. The deep ball to Walker had some nice touch to drop it over the DB's head, though it could have led him a little more. The protection on the line also isn't helping matters. I'm more concerned about some of the play calling on 3rd down along with the offense as a whole. Whether it was a dropped pass or a bad throw, it wouldn't have mattered about 5 different times because the WR would have still been multiple yards short of getting a first down. Not sure why there aren't more RB's out in the flat or short TE routes. I guess they have needed the RB's to stay in and help with coverage. Would love to see a little FB leak play out to the flat, I know its in the playbook, I saw it at the scrimmage and it went for a TD. Not sure if Simmons is/was still nicked up, but it looks like he has an extra gear but just can't get to it. I think he needs to try to start running a few more people over instead of trying to juke them. Defense had its moments and is definitely much improved. Was not impressed with how UND was gashed up the middle so many times. Their RB was a beast but he still got more than he should have multiple times. Robert Morris was running some weird sets with a strange mix of tackle eligible and WR's ineligible and I thought the defense sorted it out very well. Tillman blowing up the WR as three Robert Morris guys watched was one of the plays of the game.

Guessing they are still working on the capabilities they have with the extra spots on the new video boards. Hoping that game stats, etc will be shown eventually.

31-13 UND Closer than it should be for the first half. Bubba makes some halftime adjustments and UND pulls away towards the end of the third.

Going to be a great day for tailgating and to see the change in personality on this team in person. I fully expect a great effort from the team and that they take over the game early.

UND has to keep the copyright in good standing (doing so with the Dacotah Legacy Collection) and the state would also have to approve the design.

It can be done at any time (see below). I think the point was at the time the other schools were doing it, it was pretty much foregone that the Sioux logo would be gone. Agree that they should do it with the interlocking ND though. Basically the Alumni Association would have to fill out the form, have a minimum of fifty people committed and be willing to pay the $1,500.

Pretty sure the discussion has been had before here a couple times. Guessing it mainly has to do with not having a logo but not sure why they don't just use the interlocking ND. Correct that it is on the alumni association would be the likely group to get it set up.

Cheatom is listed as the #2 RDE.

Booster luncheon at the Alerus at noon tomorrow: Link Bubba among others will be speaking.

From roster: 185 - Freshman 208 - Sophomore 208 - Junior 215 - Senior Pattyn wasn't flying around the ice at somewhere around 240lbs at any point.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe NDSU received any votes in the AP Top 25 until the last week of the season? There are writers who always give the FCS champion a vote in the final AP poll, its been done many times in the past.

2011 is the year you're thinking of for both the Alabama/GSU game and where NDSU shut down the triple option. 2012 is the year GSU outgained NDSU by quite a bit and NDSU needed a TD in the last few minutes to prevent getting knocked off.

Someone forgot to tell all of ESPN's Big 12 analysts that NDSU is supposed to be their media darling...they all picked ISU to win...

That USD game was one of the craziest ones I've ever been to. We just laughed the whole way home, couldn't believe that actually happened.

I see Jurich has only thrown 20 passes over the last 3 years but has a fair amount of rushing attempts (54), but most of those were from 2 years ago when he was a sophomore. Did he come in games in some sort of wildcat role when he was a sophomore? Looks like he played in 12 games in 2012 (11 passing attempts, 43 rushing attempts, but only 5 last year (6 PA, 8 RA).

Especially considering that Mussman was a pretty talented offensive lineman himself.

Wasn't aware of the hyperlink issue before, but turns out I'm running into that along with the Quote feature. Only run into it on IE11.

No clue what to expect but I'm excited for a new season. The attitude around the team seems to have changed, hoping it translates onto the field.
