Memorial is going to be rocking right?

NDSU really isn't making a lot of money. $60 x 2000 or whatever number of tickets. NDSU hasn't needed atmosphere for a few years. But this will be a better one than normal I agree. Playing UND will make a lot of scalpers and season ticket holders a nice chunk of money though. Family has a couple tickets on the 35. Dad says he'll start listening to offers at $1500 for the pair if any are interested.

Only town maybe ever that honestly has Polka Mass several times a year at the local Catholic church.

Ah I was a green/yellow kool-aid drinker for some time. NDSU has had a lot of big regular season games the past few years. Really going to have a hard time convincing people that it is the biggest since 2003.

Yep. Zero doubt

Well we will agree to disagree. We will see what happens though. I'd also say the K State game was bigger.

Honestly, if NDSU runs UND out of the building in both of these games I don't think there will be much pressure to keep scheduling it. Will that happen? No idea. But I wouldn't make assumptions about the next negotiations.

I don't think there was any contract in 2005 bro.

Really? Maybe I should read the menu next time instead of going for my usual. Very good, again, definitely recommend going.

Würst Bierhall. Awesome beer selection. Not a knoephla type place but I really enjoy the food. Would recommend going next time you find yourself in Fargo. Best knoephla I've had goes to the Napoleon Livestock.

Unlikely.

Don't mention Kroll's and knoephla. Theirs is an abomination. Honestly disgusting.

Still see them around occasionally. Usually sell coffee or something right?

Wrestling is not a draw at NDSU. I also didn't say it was. The Big XII label though certainly can't hurt in maybe getting a few more people there. I simply provided numbers that indicate it's pretty similar to hockey on a national level.

Just looked at TV ratings. College wrestling championships 694K. Hockey championship had 635K. So... I think it's relatively comparable.

Duals between the big teams get a lot of people by the looks of it. Iowa would be third in average attendance compared to hockey if I'm looking at accurate charts.. And Minnesota would be fourth. Penn St vs Iowa had 16Kish. I doubt NDSU could ever pull that but if it gets more people going to the duals that's great. Wrestling is honestly one sport the state could be very very good at if we ever can get the best kids to stay in state.

If they have the ball more.. They are keeping NDSU's offense off of the field. If they have the ball more... They are likely having success moving the ball. Both of these are things UND would like to see happen. I don't think it will happen. But it would be a good starting point to making the game competitive.

If UND somehow controls the clock, that would imply they are moving the ball well... If UND has the ball for 30+ minutes I would tend to think that they are probably in a good position to make a game of it.

Darell's favorite game the past 10+ years... NDSU lost to Indiana St at home in 2012. If you need any details, Darell is your guy. He can do the play by play from it.

I'm from North Dakota. I'm allowed to follow sports locally. Back to discussing Wyoming pls.

I'm not a Bison fan.

It's always fun to see fans from teams (my own teams included) get worked up over Preseason and postseason All American /All-Conference awards.

Some may.

Odd, shouldnt you love Dr. Chapman? Without him, who knows if NDSU and UND would be in Division 1. Besides, he got NDSU some bad press.

What has President Bresciani done to be considered "crooked" by a UND sports fan? I'm indifferent to the guy.
