Hopefully that game is knock-down drag-out, and then we come in fresh following the bye.  I think we can do this.

Exactly. I want to see a slobber knocker this Saturday.

SDSU does not have a bye until the last week of the season (Nov. 19), so they play 11 straight weeks.  Our game with them will be game number 8, and the second of back-to-back road games.  Again, giving me more confidence considering that we'll be fresh and at home.  Would be a great time to win another big game in front of the home crowd.

2:30 game at the Manure Pit.
SDSU looking good to put the beat down on.
Bizon won't be able to keep focused this week with the JameMad FBS ranking, LOL(johnny).

Then, a week later, the Jacks hop into the Hawks' Nest over confident.
The ducks are lined up, rest up boys.

Here's wishing SDSU@NDSU a record setting game, specifically:

- most OTs 
- most plays from scrimmage (both teams)

If they start Saturday and finish up say, ... noon Wednesday ...

Hope we won’t be rusty

Who will be unavailable for this game?  Skokna, I am assuming.  What about Fort?  Anybody else?  Also, do we have a list of those (if anybody) that are known to be out for the season?

360 guys have said they believe Fort and Skokna are out for the season. Fort with knee/leg injury and Skokna was undisclosed.

Bummer.  Not what I was wanting to hear, but we've made do so far.

I did just notice that for the ACU game they do have a "Friends and Family 4 pack" which is $5.00 tickets. Kudos for that. I'm hoping they do some sort of marketing blitz for the SDSU game as well. This is probably a Top 5 home game in the D1 era. They need to do whatever they can to fill the place.

I was hoping for a USD shocker, a Misery St W, and maybe an Indiana State upset W last weekend. I just can't get anything I want. 

Seriously though, an SDSU win would be awesome heading into next week. I wouldn't be upset if they were a little beat up and tired either, haha

Looks like Tucker Kraft is coming back for the Dakota Marker game, fortunate boost for the SDSU offense

Let’s hope so! Lot of und fans will be in Minneapolis the weekend of SDSU, so we’re gonna need all the people we can get to the game! 

[Kab]

Those with season tickets going to Mpls hopefully will donate their tickets so the place will be full 

[NoDaks]

Yeah think the hockey in the cities will be an issue. Hope UND can put together some ticket promotion to help offset that issue and get some people who typically wouldn't go to get there. Could be a #1 team in the country at the Alerus, advertise it like crazy and take advantage of the opportunity. 

[Kab]

There should be a few sdsu fans there, especially after they beat ndsu

Why?  Football game is at 3:00.  Hockey is at 7:00.  You really think there are going to be thousands of fans headed to Minneapolis for $75 tickets to watch hockey that would liukely be at the football game? The games aren't even sold out.  Of the UND fans that will be there, I would say at least over half live in the Twin Cities area.  If the Alerus isn't packed Saturday it certainly won't be because of of the hockey games against the Gophers that weekend.

Just airing thoughts here, so input from others is appreciated.  How many people that attend UND football games are coming from the Twin Cities?  Those people might choose to attend a UND hockey game that is in their backyard rather than travel 4-5 hours to watch UND football, and that is why there could be an attendance conflict. I wouldn't blame them for that.  There could also be people in Grand Forks / Fargo that would choose to watch hockey play a long-time rival who is now only scheduled out of conference.  I wouldn't blame them for that either.  Though, seeing as I live in Grand Forks, I personally wouldn't do that.  I would go to the football game that's in my backyard.
