Fetch Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 a winner at D2 & so so at best D1 - Hope it changes - getting lucky on some good players would help - but unlike players ndsu has been bringing in some who turn out to be more trouble to the community hurts - even winning is not that great if no one respects some players - get regional athletes who were not coached or trained so good & bring them up to speed GF just isn't a FB town - I love FB but have only been to a couple UND games in 40 yrs - I was a hard core hunter - but when they had winning teams we would listen on the radio - Seems u don't know any of the players or anything about them makes it hard to be a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be very good in football in time. Basketball, who knows. Hockey will sustain itself. The future in D1 is very bright. Football is the #1 sport in America. There are plenty of football fans in the GF area to pack the Alerus and even a much larger stadium. The team must re-establish itself first.

You should get out to a game...they were really fun to watch last year (on offense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I mainly waterfowl hunted the entire Devils Lake Region & went west for upland a few times a yr & deer hunted - used to average 10,000 miles a yr in a Suburban (Sept. thru November) until I got a lake place at Devils Lake 4 am to dark was normal both Sat. & Sunday & around 3 weeks vacation - getting older & losing hunting buds & the price of gas has changed all that - so now I could become more of a FB fan - if I got back in time I went to Fighting Sioux Hockey games - season tickets for 30 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I contend that 1 PM games are a tough sell for this part of the country because of our other pastimes (hunting). I also contend that when games are 2:30 or later you can do it all in one day. I hope you make it to a game this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
