Midnight Madness on ESPN from the BSA!!

[Mr. Burgundy]

The night before NDSU football plays SDSU, NDSU will host ESPN live from the BSA for Midnight Madness. It will take place at 9PM and ESPN will be live from several schools. UNC, DUKE, NDSU....Are we a basketball school????

GO BISON!!!

Talk about a recruiting tool. ESPN

[roadwarrior]

Somewhere I read that the "NCAA 2009" banner will be unveiled that night.

Ok Screw Football, I Cant Wait For Bball!!!!

[TheDoctor]

All I can say to everything posted in this thread...:D :D :D :D :D. I knew the football people would join us and I fugured it would be about the 4 week of the football season to that you guys would jump on board! Basketball will reload and be VERY competitive again this year, something the football program hasn't been able to do since there two big years. ;)

[lakesbison]

SOO whats the PLAN.

hit Brookings AFTER midnight madness?

[DjKyRo]

Man, this is awesome! Getting some coverage on ESPN certainly doesn't hurt any - now people will know who to watch out for come March. :D

[Gully]

I'm wondering whether I'm a "football person" or a "basketball person"?
Either way.....can't wait for bb season although they'll be mid pack this year. I think next year and the year after could really be special.

[unbison]

If top 3 is midpack. I will take it every year!!!!!!!!

Doesn't the whole world know you as a "basketball person" as referenced by your long stand live on ESPN or was that another guy in SF??? ;)

yep, im starting to lean more towards bball... last years summit run and the ncaa tourney game was the best bison experience ive ever had... even better than any of the gopher football games

[TheDoctor]

Hey B1, I read 'em all. I will remain committed to FB be it 7-0 or 0-7 for the remainder of the year. But, I am relearning to appreciate the bounding ball. Of course, don't forget wrestling!

[bisonmike2]

I also agree. Football is by far my favorite sport, but nothing beats going to that opening round game of the NCAA Tournament. It was amazing on so many levels.

[HandoEX]

Hell yes! I saw that on Facebook a few days ago. We better have a great showing! This is huge!!!

[TheBisonator]

This is AWESOME news!! I am gonna freakin' BE THERE!!!:nod: :nod: :nod:

[coldspot]

That's my 21st birthday...drunk espn appearance? The party bus might have to make a stop at the bsa

[TheDoctor]

I also agree. Nothing beats going to that opening round game of the NCAA Tournament. It was amazing on so many levels.

I will go to the 1st round game whereever NDSU plays every year they make it. Guaranteed! Because as you say, "It is amazing on so many levels!". ;)

[Gully]

Doesn't the whole world know you as a "basketball person" as referenced by your long stand live on ESPN or was that another guy in SF??? ;)

I was there but not on ESPN much....are you talking about the guy sitting behind Woody when he was interviewed following the game? If so, that's Herd Mentality. And no, I wasn't the guy wearing the Shieks hat...that would be Lakes.

[TheDoctor]

:rofl: Sorry...I got you confused with Herd. Don't worry...there is only one Lakes! I can't forget him (as much as I'd like to sometimes :D)j/k! ;)

Here's next years opening round sites. New Orleans would be nice. :)


New Orleans, LA; New Orleans Arena

Providence, RI; Dunkin Donuts Center

San Jose, CA; HP Pavilion

Spokane, WA; Spokane Memorial Arena

Buffalo, NY; HSBC Arena

Jacksonville, FL; Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Milwaukee, WI; Bradley Center

Oklahoma City, OK; Ford Center

[roadwarrior]

What could be better than the Dunkin Donuts Center?

[Gully]

:rofl: Sorry...I got you confused with Herd. Don't worry...there is only one Lakes! I can't forget him (as much as I'd like to sometimes :D)j/k! ;)

No problem...I'll never forget the pile of empty PBR pounders in our aisle after the game. We stand up and all of a sudden these guys are pointing at us laughing...we're like, "what?" They say, "look behind you"....big pile of empty cans. Good times.

[NDSUstudent]

This is great news, I was already excited to see the new players and now this makes it even better. Hopefully seeing NDSU on ESPN will get a few more recruits for the 2010 class.

[NDSUFan_Sav]

This is AWESOME news!! I am gonna freakin' BE THERE while yelling at the students to yell with me and sweating my @$$ off!!!:nod: :nod: :nod:

FYP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NDSUFan_Sav]

Students must get there.....we need to pack this place and show our support for this team!!!!!

Will the band be there???

[HandoEX]

Students must get there.....we need to pack this place and show our support for this team!!!!!
QFT! It would be sweet to see the student section packed. Spread the word students!



Will the band be there???

They better be:nod: IIRC they will be making the trip to Brookings the next day.

[NDSUFan_Sav]

Personally I think we should stack the west stands first like we did for the election show because then everyone will stand being the students will be standing or have all students on the east side with everyone else going to the west side.

[DjKyRo]

Will the band be there???

They haven't sent anything down to us but I'll ask - offhand I'd say probably.

[ndsubison1]

we need 6000+ at this!!!

[NDSUFan_Sav]

we need 6000+ at this!!!

don't think we'll see that i think bout 2-3k

[unbison]

Talk about a recruiting tool. ESPN

I think they are going to be looking to see if some tailgating rigs would like to attend (of course your rig would be live on ESPN) and I am 99% sure Michigan State is one of the other schools featured. We are the only midmajor I believe. This is going to be the GREATEST live event from a National perspective in Bison history....be there!!!!!!!!! ;)

I'm extremely jacked for this!!!!!!

Who's up for some tailgating before this event????

[NDSUFan_Sav]

its at 9pm right????

lets get some drunken students there and get loud at this place!!!

[Tatanka]

Tailgating? Uh, heck yeah! When and where?

[NDSUFan_Sav]

Tailgating? Uh, heck yeah! When and where?

Dorms??? get those kids ready to go and yell???

[ndsubison1]

[Ferd]

Don't we have a volleyball match against Oakland at 7:00?

[DjKyRo]

That'll be over with in an hour, tops. If you know what I'm saying. :D :D :nod:

hmmm, maybe they could put that on too!!!:D

[Jdubs21]

im there!!!!!!!

[imabison]

its at 9pm right????

lets get some drunken students there and get loud at this place!!!

Pretty sure this is October 16, correct me if I am wrong, just checked and
there is nothing going listed at the Fargodome so they would not charging to park. That would possibly inhibit the chance of tailgating.

[roadwarrior]

Other schools we are sharing the spotlight with:

Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and Washington!

So excited...this is gonna be awesome, man I wish I was back home for this.

I am gonna be in Purdue country, going to the Purdue vs. Ohio St. game on Saturday, but I can't wait to be at the bar wearing the NDSU gear on Friday night.

[MNLonghorn10]

lol. i had to re-read the article like 5 times to see if i was reading it right...

wow, not some bad programs to be featured with.

[DjKyRo]

I still can't believe we're a part of this - 9 schools out of the nation and we're part of it! This is a huge step forward for NDSU, and I really hope we can build off of this success.

We need to get EVERYONE there on the 16th - the BSA needs to be rocking when they cut to NDSU. Reminds me of when the selection show was on, they cut to NDSU and the place just went up.

We'll have a band there doing our thing, and once the gig starts for real I'll be in the crowd going nuts. So stoked for this!

This is BIGGER (on a National Exposure) than ANYTHING in the history of Bison Athletics! Sorry....but true. I cannot believe how this coaching staff and players continue to amaze me on a regular basis! ;)

I'm excited about this, too--but I don't think this compares with the Kansas game, the SportsCenter highlights after the Oakland game, or maybe even the NCAA tourney selection show in terms of exposure. ESPNU<<CBS. Just my opinion. It is still a great thing, the exposure will be nice, it's unreal to be grouped with those other eight teams, and I WILL be there!!

Go Bison!

I agree. I should clarify. This is the biggest thing ever in our own house (on campus in Fargo). Instead of going on the road all the time, for once ESPN is coming to the BSA! ;)

[backpages]

Why not tie this event in with a blood drive for the local Blood Bank. Certainly would make a good nationwide impression about Bison Pride.

[Facts]

IMO - NDSU is doing a terrible job promoting this event. This is HUGE! Where are the radio ads, tv advertisement, ect.?

Come-on! Pack the house!

[IzzyFlexion]

I'm terrible with NCAA rules, etc...
Are recruits allowed at these opening night practices? I would think so, but again, I don't know. If there is an opportunity to get recruits to this event, it seems like a great selling point. In addition, if they are allowed, I'm sure that Gene, Saul, and company are all over it.
Maybe Hammer can help me with this question, please?

Yep.....should be a great night.

[DjKyRo]

Yep.....should be a great night.

In other words:

"There will be some HUGE recruits here. ATHLETIC. LONG guys that are going to redefine the way NDSU plays Basketball. Talked with Saul and there are some really high-caliber athletes checking us out. They'll be there....but we don't want to give that information away to other schools who have been checking out the boards."

....did I get my Burgundy impression down good enough? :D

[NDSUstudent]

We gotta pump this up!!!

Get everyone you know to the BSA on Friday night and lets start this season of Bison hoops off right!

[HooliganBison]

The marketing department is doing a terrible job of promoting this. Why didn't Saul get 15-30 seconds in between qtr or halftime to pump this up? I hope that they are getting the word out to all the students. This is a great marketing oppurtunity for the program and NDSU. I hope they start getting the word out tomorrow as much as possible.

LMAO. Good stuff. That's almost verbatim. Saul is awesome. Wish I could be there.

[VanClubPres]

Got my season tix today, helps the sting of yesterday out just a bit. Man I cant wait for Friday, and I really cant wait to see what we have go to look forward to. Cap the weekend off with a win in that other sport, and we should look good.

[lakesbison]

if the ndsu ticket office and marketing cant get 2000 students into fargodome, how could you even fathom them getting 200 students to the basketball game.

this is a serious situation folks, I hope you realize what happened.

Get off your butts, and walk the football tickets door to door in the dorms!

WHAT???? Using the video boards and a 16000+ captive audience to do some basic cross-promotion activities??? Preposterous.

[DjKyRo]

T-minus 5 days to NDSU's appearance on NATIONAL TELEVISION.

Man, I'm pumped for this - we need to have an absolutely massive crowd there. I remember the announcers' reactions when they saw the BSA on the Selection Show, and we need to be just as powerful now!

[HooliganBison]

I sent an e-mail to the alumni association asking why they have not said squat about this event. Not all alumni are old and have to be in bed by 9 some are young and this is a great time for people to meet up before heading down to SDSU the next day.

[roadwarrior]

Only 2 days to wait!

[HandoEX]

Only 2 days to wait!

21 hours 42 minutes! Let's do this!

[ndsubison1]

FYP :)...after you do that it'll be raining bitches and a fun road trip to SDSU? ;)

after i make it a big platform will lower from the ceiling with lakes and it will be raining bitches and a huge party will start on the court... oh, yeah, I'm also in for the Brookings trip!

[GRAFTONBISON]

I have heard that this will be on ESPN U @ 9:00. Will it also be on ESPN 2 at the same time?

Thanks

Midnight Madness starts on ESPNU at 8:00 and goes until 12:00 and a much shorter version runs from 10:00-10:30 on ESPN2.

[bisonmike2]

any idea of what the attendance is going to be like?

[Tatanka]

any idea of what the attendance is going to be like?

My guess would be 2-3k but it better be a lot more than that.

[Tatanka]

On second thought, 2k may not fully cover the horn section of the pep band. OK. 3.5k.

[DjKyRo]

21 hours 42 minutes! Let's do this!

5 hours, 47 minutes!

[TheBisonator]

I'm gonna be there in a few hours!! I'm hoping for 3-4K in attendance, but if we get at least 2,000 I'll be OK with that. Also hoping for another 3,500 average attendance for this year as well. GOOOOO BISON!!!!!

[IzzyFlexion]

Anybody gonna discuss this event on B-Ville tonight?
The opening sequence just showed all 9 nine schools. The NDSU intro was from Bentsen-Bunker and obviously only the team was in on knowing they were about to go live because you could see a lot of VB fans in the background being very quiet (must have been during a break)
Andy Katz reminds the panel....."I love Fargo!" And has corrected one of the other broadcasters on the proper pronunciation of BiZon.

Why the BBF?

[IzzyFlexion]

Why the BBF?

I don't know. Maybe they (ESPN) were told that there would be a lot of energy there between 7 and 8.(V-Ball) And then maybe they'll move on over??

[Superfan]

my guess is because the late show doesn't actually start at the BSA until 9pm and they didn't want to show an empty stadium like MSU did.

[bisongirl]

my guess is because the late show doesn't actually start at the BSA until 9pm and they didn't want to show an empty stadium like MSU did.


This would be my guess...

It was also nice to see the basketball teams at the BBF supporting the Volleyball team.

[Superfan]

A buddy of mine at the BSA informs me it is filling up pretty good in there now. Hopefully it's a good showing. Really wishing I was there instead of watching it in my apartment in Biz. :banghead:

[rutlandbison]

is this only on ESPNU?

[Gully]

the whole thing, yes. a shorter version is on the deuce, I think

[bisongirl]

Anyone else hear them say that the Fargodome gets 30,000 for football??!!!

[Superfan]

Haha yeah I got a kick out of that. Great interview by Saul. He presents himself so well and is always fun to listen to.

[56BISON73]

Anyone else hear them say that the Fargodome gets 30,000 for football??!!!

I started laughing when I heard that and the wife asked what was so funny. When I told her that it only seats 19,000 she starts laughing and say " heck and I thought I was bad at math" LOL

[56BISON73]

So is that is??? Are they going to show more????

[56BISON73]

NDSU SAV got some air time as well

[chuckles]

According to DishNetwork a replay or something (title is "ESPNU Midnight Madness") will be shown on ESPN2 beginning at 10:30pm. For those of us without ESPNU

[Gully]

They had another lengthy session....pretty good stuff. Hopefully someone will post it on youtube.

[NDSUstudent]

It was a pretty good event put on by Saul and everybody. The young kids have plenty of potential, Felt and Aaberg looked like they could definitely contribute now. Braun will definitely benefit from redshirting but he showed a lot of athletic ability.

Tveidt was pretty impressive, I believe he won the actual dunk contest. The Bison men won the three point contest both Felt and Vaughan looked really sharp. This team has a few guys in Tveidt, Felt, and Vaughan that can really stroke it in from beyond the arc.

The team will definitely be a work in progress but I think they could surprise when conference play starts up.

[DjKyRo]

I got my flag-cape signed by the entire basketball teams (men and women)! Can you say "collector's item?"

It was a sweet event though, tons of energy and people are stoked for Bison Basketball!

[lakesbison]

I was.worried bout.this. but.it was soooo sweet!!!

great time, fun,,entertaining....you all really missed out !!!!

gonna be a good year in.bball!!'

2500+ there

[onbison09]

Anyone know if they have replays on ESPN2?

[Da_Bison]

Anyone know if they have replays on ESPN2?

Its gonna be on again at 5:00am on ESPNU

[North Side]

That was a great time, got me jacked up for the season for sure.


Watching the show right DVR'd right now...as always, the camera loves Sav :D Quite a few Bisonvillers got plenty of face time too.

[HandoEX]

I missed :( lol it was fun though. Nice meeting everyone.

It was a good effort though man. Sorry it didn't work out, we were chanting hard for "One more shot!"

[DjKyRo]

It was a good effort though man. Sorry it didn't work out, we were chanting hard for "One more shot!"

hahahaha, true that - I think I saw a few Teammakers go white-faced as they were handing him the ball after missing the first one!

Ok---what are you guys talking about?????

[DjKyRo]

Ok---what are you guys talking about?????

They had a half-court shot for $10,000 and after the guy missed, the student section started chanting "One more shot!" So they gave him another shot. He missed, but I thought it was funny.

it's really pathetic how the espn crew had to tell the crowd to cheer... why are our fans so lethargic and dull, especially the students? sorry to reiterate this but it just bothers me so much!

Dude, this is the defacto operation for ESPN or any tv broadcast... People don't continuously freakout cheer like you see on tv all the time, anywhere, anyplace, ever.

I was disappointed with ESPNU's coverage of all locales.

I was hoping for more footage of dunk/3 point contests/skits etc. It was essentially a 4 hr preview show highlighting ESPN's talking heads with occasional cut-ins to locations for interviews.

1. Was Erin Andrews there?
and
2. How disappointed was she when I didn't show up?

Just so the Teammakers know, Saul said the second shot was for a soda (but a soda supplied by the head coach is still pretty good).

2,800 in attendance, not bad at all!

Does anyone have a link to some of the ESPNU video last night? A quick search on You Tube and ESPN360 found nothing. I'd like to see what it was like on the air. Couldn't watch it live as I was at a hockey game last night and no DVR. Thanks!

[TheDoctor]

I agree. I should clarify. This is the biggest thing ever in our own house (on campus in Fargo). Instead of going on the road all the time, for once ESPN is coming to the BSA! ;)

Again, I had to pinch myself not because I saw my son with Thundar on ESPN2 last night, but because IT WAS LIVE FROM THE BSA!!! I NEVER thought that day would come this decade! Great work Saul! ;)

Good god. What the hell is wrong with you???

[NoDakSt]

Any video of the two teams on youtube yet?

[4mcruenomore]

I watched a whole 20 seconds lastnight on ESPN2 midnight madness. Someone post a link, or tell me it was longer than that. It sucked.
