I have to admit, I did not expect this from the GF Herald especially the this part

"NDSU took a risk and showed the way. Say what you will about former President Joe Chapman, his push to see NDSU grow and excel succeeded on many levels, and one of them showed up in the football team’s performance Saturday......."

I would guess that this is about as close to the direct article written by Patrick Reusse at the Star Tribune.
Now if they could get Roger Thomas to come back and admit he threw UND under the bus with their press conference
it would almost be 100%

Also this statement means that either they way over guarantee or they NEVER host if NDSU is in the
playoffs vs them.

"NDSU played at the Fargodome nine times during the 2011 season, and attendance at every game exceeded 17,000.

The Alerus Center’s total capacity for football is 13,500. So, it’s not hard to imagine sellout or near-sellout games developing for UND football; and an annual string of capacity crowds would do .........for the Alerus ,,,,,, bottom line. "

Nice to see no passive-aggressive toolery from this article, at least none that I can detect. But I find weird the overriding sense of the article being, "Look at what NDSU did, we can do it too!!"

And I chose to take it as a well intended complement to NDSU showing a positive outlook for North Dakota on the national scene.

Nice article.

Can someone from the GF Herald compliment NDSU and their success without bringing up und? Seriously, is it in their contract to automatically mention und at all costs? That would be like going to a wedding, telling the bride how good she looks and how happy you are for her; then telling her how hot her sister is.
