A win at SDSU better get us in the top 25 of any poll!

The only excuse I can think of is hunting on Saturday morning, but that is not an excuse. On a good day you can have your decoys picked up by 10 AM, be on the road back to GF by 11 - 12; depending on where you are hunting. Also, most of the games are later in the afternoon or in the early evening so even if you hunt you can't use that as an excuse. I have been trying to figure this one our for some time but to no avail.

I agree Wearenodak, on the defensive side we will need to tackle at least 3x better if we want to have a chance. Although they have shown improvement our d-backs are going to need to step it up as well. Line play will need to get a push because we will need to pressure the QB more this week. Offensively I am more than impressed with our passing game, what a transformation from recent years. So much talent! Our running backs had a poor game and they will need to rebound this week and I think they will. Think about this, we won this game because of our passing game. This would not have been possible in recent years whether it be lack of solid QB's or receivers. That alone is very encouraging and I feel like we are capable of shoring up our current weaknesses each week because not too long ago they were our strengths.

So anyway, should be a good game if we show up and play to win, rather than playing to not lose.

Hmmm, I do not use the ticket forum but always worth a look. My best guess is to check ticketmaster first because it is not sold out yet and if you are only looking for 2 tickets you should have a good chance of getting some decent ones next to each other for around $20 per. Try to find tickets between the 20 yard lines because the sightlines are not as good. If you have to get tickets outside of the 20 yard lines I suggest standing on the walkway above either end zone as that offers a pretty good view. Tickets are usually $15 but Montana is a premium game and the $5 extra is well worth it because you will be experiencing an electric atmosphere; possible the best since the Alerus Center opened in 2001. This game is also nationally televised on ROOT Sports so that should also increase the buzz. Also get there early because there is plenty of food and beverages floating around at tailgating.

I think it is time to beging long term planning for a new football home. The Al sucks.

Awesome, make it happen!

Montana does not have two backs that are just like PSU; this guy set Maryland's TD record for a freshmen. Montana has a guy kind of like Sutton, but more powerful, and I am not sure about the second but I have a very hard time believing that they are better than the guy from PSU. That guy was a stud, and out lack of wrapping up made him look even better.

I will be going as well. I was a bit disappointed with the attendance as well because I know there is not that much going on in GF as I have spent pleanty of time there. To top this off that was the most exciting brand of Sioux football I have seen in years; in terms of the casual fan viewpoint because that was a sloppy game otherwise.

I just saw it on ESPN News "Highlight express" show about 10 minutes ago. Catch was amazing...can't say the same for the production value in comparison to every other team in the top 10.

I have been looking as well...

anyone hear what attendance was?

What a show! Now we have to keep the foot on the gas in the 2nd!

I bet they play tomorrow versus CSU; I will be watching for them. CSU on one TV, UND on the larger tv as games are at the same time. I know the bison fans are pretty confident but CSU will give them a test.

Be loud and proud! You guys make a big difference!

This is a good sign fellas: My intern says lots of buzz so get your tix! MT @davidprimus: Heard student tix line was long this morning at the @NoDak_Nation tix office Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

Do you not have anything better to do with your time? Seriously, insert your foot in mouth and enjoy.

It is very nice to know that a guy in your position is engaged enough to monitor the back channels like this. Keep up the good work man!

I thought it was great! I hope they keep it up!

Okay spin doctor, you are conveniently forgetting that they were interfering with an official state election; intentional or not it doesn't matter.

I just got some free tickets to the CU vs. Sac game this Saturday so I am really going to see Sac St. CU is a pretty a bad FBS team this year so it could offer some good insight as to what sort of competition we will see on 9/22. I will be sure to post anything notable that I see. Also if there are any Sac St players that I should watch for let me know.

It could be that most of these guys are starters and they play an FBS team this weekend...just sayin.

This could be very realistic because PSU is missing their all conference kicker (quite possibly best in FCS). That said a field goal for us, or lack there of for PSU could be the deciding factor.

Heck, at this point I am thrilled if 1,900 students attend on a regular basis. But, I am not a fan of making them pay as football should be free for broke college students. Hockey student tickets were expensive enough and I can only imagine they have went up since I last held them in 07.

Yup, take it one week at a time and do whatever it takes to win, pretty or ugly. Soon enough we will see what we are made of in this league. I am excited and nervous at the same time for Saturday!
