NDSU @ UND.....bout time.

[sioux24/7]

Less than a week away. Guessing this last week included lots of ball protection.

[SiouxFan100]

Any watch parties in Fargo? 

I just hope we score first and don’t give up the lead

beer before noon

[siouxfan512]

Its game week!

 

[AJS]

Two realistic, specific keys.

• First Drives.
  • UND: Get a first down or two. Settle in, points are not necessary. Don't go 3 and out.
  • NDSU: Don't let them score a TD.

NDSU / JMU games last Spring, not that. 

 

• Limit NDSU to one or less big plays (50+ yards). Weird one being ok with conceding one. Keep it to only one and that'll be big.

I predict this game will be for the ages.  Some huge plays on defense, offense and special teams will create memories.  Great memories!!!!!

Can someone confirm that it is official a "Black out" game? 

 

[sioux24/7]

I don’t think I have any black UND gear, other than a hockey jersey that I’m not wearing, but I can participate in the blackout in other ways.

Blackouts are lame. Always have been.

The key to doing color games is to pick colors that stand out. Some colors don't work well with TV. If Penn State did a "blue out" it would look silly. NDSU did a Green game once in college, that was at the peak of NDSU fan devotion. It looked like trash. Forest green, like black, doesn't pop in the stands. 

Kelly green on the other hand, does pop. I'd stick with that. It's a nice bright color.

The Bison haven’t won in Grand Forks since 1997. They have only won twice in Grand Forks in the last 28 years!!

Yup

[Nodak78]

Im hoping black out.  I bought a Travis O'Neel pull over during the scholarship drive in his name.  It's black.  

[The Sicatoka]

This game will be determined by ...

- What did UND learn in the prior encounter and how will they improve from that
- Control of the line of scrimmage, specifically the UND D v. NDSU OL

I think it they never announced anything,  it ain't happening. Stuff like that needs to be done before the week of the game.

Unless you have a sponsor to print T-shirts and place them on ever seat, don't even try. It'll end up looking really dumb otherwise.

At least have a student run the social media pages to make it look like you’re trying..

From Tom's article in the Herald: The 2 p.m. game at the Alerus Center will be televised on WDAY-TV.

Is this correct?  Or will it be on both Midco and WDAY?
