It clearly didn't hurt helping them get a 3* recruit that had offers from Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Wichita State and LSU among others.

Didn’t it also help Carson Shanks LEAVE North Dakota a bit earlier than expected?

"The Alerus Center hires a third-party company to pick up the trash after tailgating."

I'll call it economic development.

Wonder why they are so afraid to identify the small section that made 95% of the mess.

Thought it was a 4* recruit.

Of course they do. Why would they invest in the equipment for something that is needed 5-6x per year? 

Bigger issue seems like there weren't enough garbage cans again (despite saying they doubled the amount). They need to make more of an effort to put the large ones in the student area and everywhere for that matter instead of hoping people come get them from where they have them lined up. Wind didn't help matters either, but whatever. Something for people to complain about. Everyone near us seemed to go out of their way to clean up their area.

Possibly on a few of the recruiting services. Either way, point stands that he was a huge get for the MBB team.

I know they need more bathrooms tailgating, even though I didn't tailgate, because as I was walking in to the stadium...a guy asks "are you security?"...."yeah" the other replied...."There's a person trying to break into the Verizon tower to pee."

The porta potty lines were a solid 30 deep.  I went into the Alerus convention area to use the bathroom.

I stood in line at the porta-potty’s for a good 40 minutes. Had a girl puke a couple behind me and play it off as if nothing happened. I glanced back once and could hear her saying “the adults are judging us”. I just graduated college, no one has ever called me an adult!

Take a piss. Grab a beer. And head back to the line. Repeat.

You should have seen the drunks at the Jimmy Buffett/Eagles concert! People did not remember how to latch the “Open/In Use” so everyone opened the doors and the people waiting in line got a “Full Meal Deal.” They were also too drunk to recognize when some vacat d a porta potty so some sat empty.... interesting evening!

There were more than enough garbage cans.  The only real mess (and it was a solid layer of garbage) was in the student tailgate section.  It almost seems like they go out of their way to make a mess.

I guess we'll have to disagree. They also leave them piled up towards the front and for the most part expect people to come get their own but don't convey that message. They also use to have the huge gray garbage carts, similar to what's near the entrances. put about 8 of those in the student section and my guess there would be some improvement. However, some own't care and continue to just throw their trash on the ground.

I find it ironic that the "greenest" generation have such a disregard for littering.  Maybe they just assume someone is going to clean it up for them.

I went to the portables south of the season tailgating at 2:30, stood in line for 25 minutes.

Goon and his stupid pill again.  Mafia man seems to take it too.  Never said UND will be a force in the P5, but in the G5 it could be quite competitive.  Idaho won a bowl game almost 18 months ago by golly, gave the Sun Belt and MWC teams fits and it still has mostly FBS players doing horribly against FCS schools.

Wow.

There was a full size dumpster at the edge of the student area near the toilets.  Plenty of room in it based on what i could see when driving out of the parking lot.  It was easier to throw their cans on the ground so they did it.

Where was 24 on ISU's last TD. 

 

And yes, the fumble by 5 changed the game. What should've been 21-6 was instead 14-13.

Don't disagree, which is why the Alerus Center needs to spread them out instead of putting them just on the edges. I do agree, a lot will probably throw them on the ground regardless.

Tanner Gueller was named national player of the week in ISU’s 62-28 victory over recent FBS Idaho.

Idaho State has been flying the fb team commercially.   Did that mean they flew out of Salt Lake and bused from Minneapolis for the UND game?  Pocatello has limited flights with puddle jumpers.  The closest airport with commercial jet service is Idaho Falls, sixty miles away.  Salt Lake is a couple of hours.

An upcoming game in Portland, the team would have to divide between flights to and from Boise and Salt Lake taking individuals buses from and to Pocatello.  The interim AD has now switched to a charter plane.
