UND-GARY

It seemed like there was more than 8,200 to me also. I talked to a person in the athletic department Friday afternoon and they said that there was a little over 8,000 tickets sold at that time and were counting on a decent walkup also, like usual. Makes me wonder how only 8,200 were there?

Is it true all tickets go on sale today? If so, I hope people get out and get ticket sales going so we can get up near a sellout!

Off-topic but I went to NCAA to check out the brackets and I saw something funny under the Headlines section on the right. Check it out cause I could've swore to god everyone in Fargo said the bison were Division I. NCAA must think differently. Just thought it was funny--not trying to make a big deal out of it.

What did you think of the Alerus? There was more energy in the crowd at the 2001 games then at last years games, I thought??

Scoring Summary-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoring Summary (Final) North Alabama (13-1) vs. North Dakota (12-1) Date: Dec 06, 2003 Site: Grand Forks, N.D. Stadium: Alerus Center Attendance: 9652 We didn't lie about this one I know that! Not that impressive anyway!

T-bone, I realize it is force of habit for you to come over to our board at the end of the regular season to talk about football, cause there is nothing to talk about anymore on your board, but seriously. The numbers don't lie--if it sat 13,000, 10,000, or 5,000---your school said 18,500, 18,000, etc. You tip-toed around the point that they padded the numbers by talking about how we messed up the Total Capacity of Dacotah Field. Big deal--you guys were still off 5,000!! That is unless your SRO is 4000-6000 people.

I am glad we all don't have that rule cause we would be on your board all day trying to dispute myths that come up or just plain idiotic comments by your heirum.

Haven't heard anything along those lines but I saw that it was $259 from Fargo and $192 from Minneapolis to fly there on NW. There are several direct flights from Minneapolis to Hancock each day (looks like same thing as Houghton, right next to each other). Little over 500 miles to drive there so that isn't too bad either. Could be worse.

Another shot of the field---kind of Cushman/Selke look to it Sherman Field Aerial

Don't teams usually play their peers? You didn't play either one of those. We all saw who your peers are this year.

2000? That is being nice--it was the case in 96, 97, 98, 99, and 2000.

Yes I know he was talking about the GLIAC and NCC that is why I talked about them having decisive games at the end. There is nothing to talk about in the Northern Sun. CSP losing to Wayne State just reinforces my point. Wayne State is terrible. Now Winona just has to make sure they can field 11 players on each side of the ball and they will get in the playoffs. Sad but true. UND just has to win out. Even with 2 losses they should get in but obviously with the way it is set up they may not.

"You have the top teams in each league playing against each other. And those outcomes will create many playoff scenarios." When you look at that ball-busting schedule above, where are the key games where top-ranked teams go against each other and dictate playoff positions? Everyone in that league sucks except Winona. They would have to try hard to NOT make the playoffs. They have no worries at the end of the year like UND and G.V. and Omaha all have. To defend them is only kidding yourself. But, that would be nice to have though, a virtual guarantee you are gonna get in the playoffs--can't fault them for that.

Dude---settle down. When is the last time you finished ahead of UND in football in the NCC? Don't compare UND and SDSU ever again.
