Strengths: tent pitching skills, spicy food, and warm climate

Weaknesses: dental hygiene, abnormally shaped family trees, 3rd grade education level degrees, and hookworm.

A tour of the Nicholls State football offices, including the beverages that will be provided in the visitors dressing tent.  

You know... as a nurse I was thinking of clean water in those tents.... but what if they have that Performance enhancing stuff? Best be careful at the JuiceU game too....

It was meant as a jab at Nicholls St, who owns their facility, except for the tents and "facilities" they need to rent, meaning their overhead is lower.

I'd be really curious to see what the other bids were. Originally I would have guessed UNI would be the only ones to outbid us but wouldn't be surprised if SELA threw out a pretty big number as well considering they are hosting Villanova. 

The bids were placed well before (I believe a 2-3 weeks ahead of time, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong) the selection committee decided who was playing who. Therefore SELA had no idea who they would be hosting, just like UND didn't know if they'd be hosting and who they'd be ultimately bidding against.

Someone commented that the REA can't chip in?  Is that accurate?  Wouldn't investing in the football program a little bit help with their return?  Maybe they did offer up some money?

If you're not being sarcastic... pull your head out and google it.. lord knows Kennedy should have....

Go take care of business and show them the game should have been in Grand Forks.  Then we'll see you in Fargo the following week for a rerun of an early program.

The storm will hit Grand Forks on Saturday and the NCAA will give itself an attaboy for being so wise as to not have the game in a North Dakota blizzard. 

Forgetting that Alerus Center has a roof, and walls, and a visitor's locker room. 

All-weather stadiums are great in this part of the world. Nevertheless, The players, officials, media, and fans still have to be able to get to the stadium.

You’re not wrong, but is an outdoor stadium with tents for visitor lockers a wonderful thing for players or fans in attendance during a lightning storm?

Hopefully the hockey team will beat up on Minnesota again tonight. That will help get me through to tomorrow.

Our facility is fine. 

Yes, I am sure the home team facilities are is fine. 

Its the visitor's facility that is below 3d world environmental quality.  Wouldn't even qualify to house apprehended illegal aliens, overcrowded prisons for incarcerated  convicts, or quality as emergency disaster shelters.

im going to hope I’m reading this wrong or something. Getting to your playoff game less than 24 hours before kickoff is Mickey Mouse stuff.

I believe the NCAA sets flight times etc.  Not much we could do.

NCAA pays for the rooms and flight, just another reason to try and get home games. Luckily the weather didn't factor in, all should be good.

They get to their destination in the late afternoon, the day before every game.

The NCAA held off on cloud seeding in the RRV region until around 8 pm tonight.

Do they get to see the field and walk through and visitor's facility before the sun goes down, or it is all a game day revelation?
