I love the delicate rumble of those bison tears as they endlessly cascade over the metal roof of our tin shed.

Friendly reminder for those with Midco cable: Midco Sports, 7 pm tonight, replay. 

I wonder if Fighting Hawks Radio Network has the radio call as a podcast somewhere ... anyone know ... @the green team? I have a drive later this week. 

I taped it and have watched it twice so far.

The other thing UND has over the Bison is tailgating.

Talked with 3 SU young ladies as we waited in line for the Porta Potty (why can't they bring in more??) and they told me it's so much better than at SU. Just more kids involved and better atmosphere.

And by more porta pottys, you mean a minimum of 25-30 more.

Saw this somewhere:

UND's nine possessions (counting opening KO): 7 TDs, 1 punt, 1 turned over on downs (with 15 seconds in game). 

Like it was Dolphins Broncos or something.

[gfhockey]

Had lots of Fargo friends comment on how much better our tailgating was tio

 

more friendlier people and more alcohol involved 

 

however the porta potty shortage does shck

[gfhockey]

Jeffrey Griffin is a beast. We need him back next year.

[shep]

I just jumped off the couch when Skokna took that back.

We had a REALLY dumb penalty on their first play.

[Sioux94]

Rewatched the game tonight on ESPN+ replay...... remember when we said we just wanted to be better than the other team and not have to rely on trick plays? I don't think there was a single trick play against SU.

Running the ball on third and nine is the new trick play :).

[shep]

Rewatching the game had some good moments, like every time the O had the ball in the 2nd half.

But D MUST get to the QB and tackle him because when they miss the sack it ends up with a 20 to 40 yard gain.

Minus the CJ INT, Miller was really good.

If this is true, that is great to hear. I haven't been to a UND tailgating since probably 2007 or 2008, and back in 03 and 04 my only experience was marching through tailgating with the band.

I have been to some Bison tailgating since, probably 4 or 5 years ago, and I was always really impressed. Tons of people and great setups; Not going to knock them for their tailgating. I'd really like to see Brookings tailgating someday and watch a game in their stadium.

Yeah, they really only had a few explosive plays in that game, and even on those plays we were a half a step from flipping the big play into a sack. Just an outstanding game by the D overall; need to keep playing like this and building on it.

I like the take but doubt it. UND has good tailgating but SDSU has great tailgating. I was at SU tailgating three years ago and it was bigger than UNDs. UNDs is still run as an afterthought.

Which makes sense since their stadium holds 5,000+ more fans for football games.

Because there’s more people it’s better?
That’s an unfair take. 

I think UND tailgate does a solid job and obviously the UND/NDSU tailgate this past Saturday was superb because of the hype around the game. Need to keep growing it, and if UND keeps putting together big wins, it will. I agree UND athletic department and Alerus needs to do their part and keep enhancing the details; more vendors, more portable restrooms. Bud light station was neat. But it all comes down to hype around the team as it trickles down to the tailgate.

I wasn't impressed with Brookings tailgating 3 weeks ago. Nothing to write home about in comparison.  It was pretty much the same as UND and NDSU's.  

 

I should add that I did like giving crap to all the turncoat BozoJack fans that live along the ND/SD border and root for both Ag schools and despise UND. Horns down and "F the Bizon" shut them up fast when they are among a crowd of true Jacks fans.

[UND1983]

Anyone ever heard Entz compliment or even mention UND since game was over?  He didn’t yesterday at presser.  Didn’t hear it either in the show after the game. 
 

Insecurity

[UND1983]

Another thought:  we physically beat the crap out of them.  They had three guys leave the game with all three probably out this week.  UND had zero injuries.

No question, UND was the more physical team. If UND can replicate that week in and week out, watch out; but it won’t be easy. Power of belief goes a long way. Dale Lennon speaking to team on Friday night before the game just topped everything off perfectly.

Well, being a Christian and a member of Rotary….I guess God protected me from going so I would not sin or do obscene gestures to strangers.

GO UND!!!!

This take is on us being better than NDSU. No one mentioned anything about us being better than SDSU.

This was the clincher.  Just needed something to light the spark.  After that, the fire burned pure.
