Are we really worried about Akron, with a victory even being unlikely? They are 214 in Massey! When is the last time UND even finished with a rating worse than that? This just seems crazy, as UND was 61 in 2017, 76 in 2016, 121 in 2015, 94 in 2014, 98 in 2013, and 134 in 2012. We should be expecting to win this game! Are expectations for this team really THAT low? We were 208 last year, but we didn't rebuild, and we got worse? In recent history, we have done great at reloading. Losing Dooley really hurt... Are there any underclassman that have legit all-conference potential? It seems to me that a lot of the players who left would have been starters. Is that wrong?

What happened with Lamar? Werent they supposed to come?

Thanks. Thats what I figured because he was listed as the backup on the depth chart, and there wasnt any Grover news.

Is Grover injured? They were saying that Schuster was a 4th stringer on the TV broadcast. Grover is fine though, right?

As long as it doesn't reduce the number of UND articles, that sounds great. It beats national news imo. Either way, as someone who lives out of state, I'm not subscribing. I also kinda feel like the Herald finally boosted it's football coverage this year only because they were moving to a paywall, which rubs me the wrong way, but that is a pessimistic view and hopefully wrong. Max I'd pay 10-15 bucks a month for online access, and they would have to mail the Sunday paper to me, and swap out the washington post news with articles they write themselves. What do they expect their out of state readers to do exactly? I mean I already have my local paper... not subscribing to a second.

You serious? The answer to your question is obvious - yes. However, the goal is to make the game more appealing. This is a college football game, not your daughters t-ball game....

Maybe there should be a dwi checkpoint at the exit to the parking lot? Don't break the law, no problem. The point is that students are under the microscope. Its completely normal for students to drink... but many don't want to risk it, especially aviation students, and especially when many dont want to go to the game in the first place.

For the SAME PRICE as the best seats in the house! The lack of pricing tiers is pure negligence.

Don't have time to read the other responses, but all the seats in the building have the same face value, assuming the students aren't paying the champions club fees for season ticket holders.

JJ lost weight.

And even with hockey, UND still has a better football fan base than 90% of FCS schools. For example how many fcs schools have a football message board as active as ours? Not many.

Makes sense to be honest. -11 is a huge spread for what is essentially a toss up. I think Massey has by -11, which makes sense for the line to start there. By the way, UND is ranked 15th in massey, and hardly have any votes received in any of the polls. Then again, I shouldn't say anything because a lot of us, myself included, hate on NDSU for always quoting the sagarin ratings, and its also early in the season.

Family seats should also be general admission. It makes it so much easier if people are meeting others or if people aren't sure if they can make it ahead of time. General admission seating/family plans can be in one of the end sections.

This. How hard is it to distribute paper tickets for students? It worked in the past...

College football gives a negative ROI anywhere, unless you are p5. Is everyone going P5 too?! Where is our new stadium that you promised, by the way?

Nice dorms would not doubt help with attendance as well.

If that is the case, can he get a medical redshirt?

Ba Durrr that's because UN_ fans are obsessed with NDSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh sorry... a game week thread?

UND is also brought up in nearly every thread on Bisonville.

SlowHand makes a second.

This nut job probably doesn't think it's a rivalry either, yet he posts to himself about UND every day. Typical Bison fan. https://championshipsubdivision.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=50696

Because it's not a hope... it's a fact, and NDSU fans are in denial. Why else isn't there a game thread on Bisonville yet? There would be for ANY other team.

Freshman hockey players at UND and Minnesota have talked about how much of a difference the atmosphere was for the rivalry games, and how experiencing the fan engagement really opened their eyes. Players in any sport get pumped up from the fan interaction and excitement, and a pumped stadium atmosphere really gets the adrenaline flowing. That would be my explanation.

Team did vote him as captain last year before a starter was officially named.
