Now let see what Bartels can do...

Their QB is gonna throw a couple picks... he sucks

Does their QB = Joe Mollberg?

UNC and idaho state each has 34 errors. I hope they play that way against us

You just made my day! I'm stuck at home doing online certification stuff... love having a second monitor!

Concerning students feeling excluded from tailgating, this is taken from UND's vision statement, as part of "Exceptional UND": "We encourage gathering and the personal interaction of students, faculty, staff, and community members to facilitate idea sharing and develop a sense of community." I think segregating the students in the tailgate lot negatively correlates to what UND wishes to achieve in building a sense of community between students, faculty, alumni, and the community. Mixing students in with the non-student tailgaters, or by finding a way to cause the two groups to interact more, could be one of the best ways to accomplish this goal of UND's vision. By creating a better sense of community at tailgating, I believe that a positive synergy will result in a better atmosphere, stronger sense of belonging of both the students and community, a deeper fan-base, and most importantly, students naturally networking with alumni and potential employers. This last benefit would likely land some students a job - the ultimate goal of the University of North Dakota.

I'd say we'd be a great sleeper pick in basketball this year.

When do the shuttles start bringing kids home? Do they do return shuttles at half time? If the students don't have a shuttle till the end of the 3rd or 4th quarter, then they will have to stay the whole game! Also, why are the students in the back of the alley they are in? If I remember correctly, isn't there tons of empty space between the end of the student tailgate lot and the Alerus? Perhaps their zone should be moved closer. My buddies noticed that the band always faced the opposite direction as well. They were not pleased, and they mentioned it every half time.

Haha I agree! It's too late now that I graduated, but I got them to go to a few. It was tough to get them to go after goose hunting, because I could barely get them to go when they were bored! Started going with my buddies younger brother before I graduated haha. Edit: I was at UND through the duration of the transition, so they weren't interested in watching the likes of Joey Bradley haha. Happy to say that I converted them from hockey-only. They are now semi-respectable football fans.

I think they look good! (with exception to the ugly helmet stripe)

maybe one row could have reserved spots and one with first come first serve. Also, I know some students don't tailgate, because they have to get the permits ahead of time. Most of my friends wouldn't commit early to something like that, and go to games as last second decisions, because they didn't know ahead of time if they wanted to go. For instance, they didn't know if they would have enough energy to go after goose hunting, or many of them wouldn't want to go until the day of the game. Passes for students have to be bought at the union, correct? They should be able to buy them at the game if this is the case.

Thanks for the reminder.. marking my calendar for Oct 28, when average Joe's can attempt to get tickets. I predict the new arena in Sioux Falls will put in a bid, and get it, for the next go around of regionals. It's close to Omaha, UND, Mankato, St. Cloud.

Wmu will be hd for next game. They were working out the glitches in the new system or something so they didn't use it

"Their best player" only completed 7 of 14 passes and got sacked twice....

I think they announced that there will not be fees for transferring tickets, starting this year.

So do middle-aged men.

Yeah we were polite and he did that. The usher that came down was young.. he saw a beer right next to my foot, next to my buddies, but ignored it. My buddy got busted because he was caught on video, and the usher had to do what he was told. I told the story, because I thought it was surprising that they watch the students with cameras and I've heard they do it at the Ralph as well.

No updates?

My buddy and I are over 21, and we snuck beer into the student section last year... Usher comes down and tells my buddy to dump his beers, because his boss saw him ON VIDEO drinking. It's ridiculous that they waste recources on !@#$ like this trying to catch minors drinking. He wasn't acting boligarant (his second beer). There should be a section for students who are over 21 so they can have a dang beer at the game.

Thanks for the info

When there is 10,000 people there the student section isn't empty. And it doesn't help that they charge $$$ for student tickets when more than 1 or 2k go. The main reason kids don't show is because they can't drink in the student section, and if they do they will likely get a minor because cops are constantly trying to bust them. Once we have a better product on the field, which we now do, students will have a reason to stay for the second half after the buzz wears off.

We're 91 and usd is 52. The data when you break it down by team or conference is different than it is if you show everyone together.... Wonder if it is an error or if it just lags

He's right...

One other thought: I really liked what N. Schmaltz was doing on the powerplay... taking a pass from the point and skating it to the middle. I think this will be tough for pk units to handle and he will score a lot of goals from the top of the circles.
