2021 Game Day - NDSU vs UND at Alerus Center

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

#5 North Dakota State at #10 North Dakota in first conference game of the season and a battle for state bragging rights.
October 2, 2021 · 2 p.m. in a sell out in Grand Forks, ND. Beautiful morning for tail gating.
Today is one of those days in ND that the weather is not the number one topic of conversation.

Nobody (outside of us UND fans) seems to be giving us much of a chance. Let's hope the boys can strap it up for 60 minutes and prove everybody wrong!

Nor should they. A lot needs to swing in our favor today.

I mean we haven't even had a competitive game with them on this level yet

I was surprised last season was as lopsided as it was. Seems like it may have been a missed opportunity to sweep the leg.

The two before that, eh....how often is a FCS team gonna be competitive when the other team has a top 5 pick at QB?

But it is not impossible…we all know that. GO UND!

Agree. Opportunity missed. If last year’s game were in Grand Forks, it could have happened.

Pretty good turn out by Bizon fans at tailgating

That's the thing, until UND finally knocks off NDSU, no one will.

Been saying that for years. It has to be us.

When is the Hall of Fame induction?  During the game (like a media timeout or quarter break) or before the game?

[SIOUXFAN97]

there is no reason why the alerus can't add an elevated bar area outside facing south over the parking lot for evetns when the weather permits.....

I hope there are enough porta potty’s for the Bison fans….. no need to recreate that famous photo in Grand Forks, right?
