I wonder if they will purposely be late for some deliveries just to give new season ticket holders a great deal this fitst year. If you make the customer happy on their first visit, they will most likely come back. Giving someone free tickets for a season will most likely result in them renewing their tickets for next year and beyond. Albrecht kind of hinted at it when he said that "if we get swamped with orders it will be difficult to get tickets to everyone. We could be giving some away or a lot away depending on how many orders we get." UND would be smart to give some tickets away to some first time season ticket holders.

So...ticket sales...heard they are going good!!!

So do we get buyouts from Wyoming, Utah, Washington, etc. if they decide to play only teams in the new division??

Still might happen. BSC at an odd number currently. Fullerton is probably waiting them out and holding the spot!

Nothing got the old Ralph louder when they played that song. It was everyones cue to go crazy!! I agree...bring that back. "You're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die!!!"

Those look good. What about green? Weren't they saying that they would get new green opnes as well? Then they would have the option of mix and matching green/white/black for pants and jersey? Curios to see what a green version would look like.

Yeah...we don't want to be as lame as Central was!!

Look at the rest of the FCS teams (heck even FBS) and look at the opponents. The spread on most of the week one games is going to be in the 20's or even more. It's just reality in college football. Book a cupcake for your first game. College teams have been doing it for years. Will do it in the future too. After the past 5 years of D2 and NAIA teams coming to the Alerus, this is one of the best home schedules we have had in a long time...if not ever!! Ranked teams, old rivals, and new rivals coming to the Al. Don't worry, after Valpo, it gets a heck of a lot more ecviting!

Week one you are usually playing a cubcake, or you are the cupcake. This isn't new to college football. This first game will allow us to see the starters for most of the first half and then be able to get the backups some significant playing time. We will most likely see all 3 QB's against Valpo. This is a good thing. No wins are gauranteed, as we know, but getting a W in the win column righ off the bat is always a good thing.

D - A - K - O - T - A Dakota, Dakota, Go Sioux!!!!!

I wish the student section could get back to the days of when the Alerus first opened. Those first couple of years were unbelievable!! A lot of it could be attributed to team success I suppose, but still would be nice to get that type of excitement about football around here. One tradition that should be at every school is supporting your athletic teams, especially football. It's the fall and the students are all back. They should be excited to watch some UND sports. Getting back to traditions, standing up and yelling on third down has been one of the ones that has been around for awhile. I am hoping that an increase in students at the game will create more traditions. First step, getting students to show up.

Cue the "Football attendance" thread to start up again and how we can increase attendancethis season!!!

Here's my idea. Play the school song right after we score the goal. Drop the puck at center ice and after the next stoppage of play, crank up the Chelsea Dagger. At the next stoppage of play, Looker can do the "Here's your University of North Dakota scoooooooooring!" This way lets you celebrate the goal 3 times and keeps the momentum going after each goal.

Alex emailed me back on Monday saying he put me on the list...so I may be #3 or better!!

There is this song named "Stand Up and Cheer" that would be great for after we score a goal. I think we may have used it before!!

OK, that is what I thought. I talked to Alex Kroke at UND who is handling the season tailgate spots. He said that renewel from last years goes till the end of July and new season passes will be available August 1st. For $2.14 more a game to have a tailgate spot (that is if you only get one spot) that is a great deal.

Speaking of tailgating, Reserved tailgate spots are on $50. I haven't gotten one in the past, but I think we are gettting one this year!! Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you have a tailgate spot, you don't have to pay the $5 parking fee per game right? That would make sense. If that is the case, at $5/game, it only cost $15 for a reserved tailgate spot. That is a hell of a deal. Hopefully people will take advantage of that. Having 4 home games before October will deffinitely increase our tailgating. Plus, in those first games we have SD State, Montana, and Montana St. Great opponents mixed with great weather and hopefully a great UND football team equal a frickin awesome time!! Is it time for kickoff yet? Getting excited!!

The Superiority complex runs deep with this one. Everything at NDSU, Fargo, Cass county, etc. is superior to anything else in the state, especially UND and Grand Forks. And he wants to make sure we all know it. We get it Dan. I’m stupid, you’re smart. I was wrong, you were right. You’re the best, I’m the worst. You are good looking, I am not attractive.

New troughs and grain bins I think they have in their Facilities Master Plan!

Looking forward to another fun and exciting season in Sec 215!! 4 homes games before October...should be great weather for tailgating early on!! Can't wait!!

If you are awesome and love great beers, JL Beers is your no brainier stop! And they have great burgers too. But their Beer selection is second to none.

It's the offseason...nothing much to talk about!!! How many days till kickoff??!!!!

I think we need to be more concerned about the product on the field than the actual field itself.
