Is there still a Gameday Committee because the atmosphere inside and outside seems rather down. I know winning cures all and labor day, but still was pathetic imo until UND started to finally pull ahead. 

Second note: First sitting on the oppenents sideline and that concourse could use a little spit job.

It was bad.  Usually is.     Just need to make the best of it.  They need a full two or three sections (students section) dedicated to general seating.  Too many people are separated from tailgate to game.   Keep them together

There needs to be more season ticket holders and general admission seating from the 40 to 40 yard line on the opponent side. Means moving the student section down from the 50 to the 30. 

Also, the effort towards gameday experience, just like the online roster, has faltered of late. It’s been sad to see under Chaves. Needs a kick in the ass, you could say. Send plenty of emails and also let your donations (or lack thereof) do the talking.

Game Day Committee is dead.  It was poorly funded but some good things came from it.  Plug was pulled.  The new Game Day Committee should be summed up in one word.  J-O-B, as in folks need to do their frickin job or get fired.  But in a liberal weenie atmosphere like most Universities, no one will be held accountable.

Win next week, and there will be 12,000 at the next game after that. 

Highly unlikely with that number.

What's your call for Potato Bowl if UND doesn't win next week?

Half of our tailgating group was out of town. 

Went to Blue Moose Friday night and maybe 20 people in there.  GF is empty on the holiday weekend. 

Lots of fans had out of town commitments for Labor Day weekend.  We stayed for the game and left for the lake right after the game.

First official FB game was in 1894

Starting in 1921, NDSU and UND competed as charter members in the NCAA Division II North Central Conference.

 Nickel Trophy, the coin-shaped trophy's "mint" date is 1937, the year the trophy was created.

The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel is a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938.
