New installation pic! Looking at the picture, it doesn't look like the Alerus Center logos or the Big Sky logos are on the turf. Which leads me to believe they will be painted on. I am wondering if this still leaves the option to paint a logo at midfield.

SD Mines - blowout win Portland St. - win by 14 San Diego St. - We will play them tough but will lose...but will only fall by 14 or less.

Whoever they are...they should be fired for lack of loyalty

No way that's true. I am gonna need some proof before I believe that!!

A lot of people are saying that he will transfer to an FCS school for his Junior year so he doesn't have t osit out a year (which he would have to do if he went to an FBS school) and then go pro after this year. Do you think that a guy who finished 5th in Heisman votes last year would play at an FCS school? I could see him going to Sam Houston State. Curious to see if and where he plays this season!!

Agreed, Marcos is good Pizza. Even better is their hot subs. Italian Sausage sub is awesome!!

People can can get a pizza anywhere, they come to Rhombus for the atmosphere and the attitude!!

Its simple really. Win and people will come!!

Of course those are the minimum expectations. I expect UND to at least do that. While 6 wins is attainable, so is 8 or even 9!! Playing the top 5 teams in the Big Sky preaseason poll is going to be tough, but we have 3 of those top5 5 teams at our place so that deffinitely helps. How we play against Portland State will deffinitley tell a lot what we can expect from this team this year.

Ok, well thanks for the info. But just know that UND fans are well educated people and we use it in the gramitically correct verson (the). Ok, sorry for the sidetrack. back on topic. Realistinc expectation fo UND this year in the Big Sky would be 4 wins in the conference and maybe a non conference win against Portland St. Combine that with the SD Mines game and that is 6 wins for us this year. I think that is attainable.

Not crabby..just wondering why you do it? And if it is a B-Ville thing, why you do it over here?

And what is the meaning of doing it? Because the morons at B-Vill do it? Besides making you look stupid, what's the point?

I heard DaveK said that this constitutional amendment was a waste of time and it was time to move on!!

The Montana game is the 5th of 6 home games so I think they will save them for that game only. (Or potentially playoffs if we make it). Then maybe next season use them more often.

I would have expected a dog led team to win there

I don't want the setup for UND basketball to be like what they got at the Dakota dome. Horrible setup. Basketball is fine for now in the Betty. If it outgrows that, the Ralph is the next best option.

Wait..what??? I thought NDSU football was the most popular team in the state? Oh man....lets not start this debate again!!

I guess 110,509 people were confused!! Really Sean.....really?

We will need him for those Holy Cross games!!!

Agreed. I don't think they will wear them before that game. If it is gonna be a true "blackout" game, I would assume the team would be wearing the black pants as well!! I know that this is going to be an exciting season and every home game is gonna be great: But I haven't looked forward to a home game like this (Montana) probably since the 2003 game against the Bison!! If the old Alerus atmoshere is not back by then, it will deffinitely be back for that game!! I can imagine hearing a little "Back in BLack" intro with the lights out and having the team run out in their all black jerseys!! It will be the biggest game in our D1 history!! Anyone else getting goosebumps!!!

Wonder when they will unveil the new home blacks? Possibly today at media day? The week of the game? Or will we have to wait till they come out of the tunnel to see them?!!

Yeah, great burgers with 40+ great beers on tap that are always updating. Overatted...I think not!!

Go to the games...then you can listen to the voice in your head call the games!

We don't need NDSU to give UND football legitimacy. Sorry. And to answer your question about UND hockey playing NDSU, They definitely would. When Bemidgi State move up to D1 hockey, UND played them all the time. Programs speak for themselves. Recruits aren't making their choice where to play based on 1 game between the two teams. I am such and tired of the "NDSU does what in their best interests" crap. Well, keep saying that. Cause to you and other NDSU fans, coaches, etc it sounds like a good excuse, but to UND and all other people it is very COWARDLY!! If you think you are so great and better than UND...play us!!!

Nice looking black practice jerseys!!!!!!
