Three peat next year after the four peat to take in teh rivalries? They surely can't pass that up.

I'm embarrassed by this thread already. Friggin douche bags and I'm not talking about UN_

[BisonNeil]

Has anyone checked to see if there is a meltdown on the Gopherhole? A B1G school that has never hosted GameDay and their ill conceived arrogance over the Bison has to make a second trip to Fargo a bitter pill to swallow.

[No_Skill]

They opened up tailgating early last year right? Anyone remember how much earlier? I would love it if they openeded them up the night before to at least park and get situated.

I think it was an hour earlier??

[BisonNation11]

I want to say it was 2 hours early... I can't remember though as I spent the entire time tailgating if you catch my drift

[dewey]

They opened up the tailgating lot at 7:00 am last year.

nice publicity---we can start a new thread for these or keep them here

The GameDay crew headed to Fargo last September and the scene on Main Street was incredible. .
The Bison host Incarnate Word, in a game expected to be a blowout. But it's not about the score, or the game. It's about showing respect for the best FCS program in the country.
Oh, and yeah, the scene inside the FargoDome ain't that bad either.

Is is possible to open up the Fargodome early and do it inside?

Reasons they might do this:

-I have a feeling Gameday likes to change things up. Not always do whats expected.
-Close to tailgating, with lots of people. We'd put 10-15K in there easily.
-A minor cold front moving in later this week.
-the game isn't until 2:30. There should be time to get things in order for the game.
-The Fargodome is becoming legendary in college football conversations for it's loudness.

Some people just cannot be made to be happy.

It's simply not good enough for you that they come back for two consecutive years and the only time that's happened to an FCS school?

Or that some pathetic college football programs like the Minnesota Gophers have never hosted GameDay?

No, instead we have to freaking whine about the location that turned out to be spectacular and made the entire region look grand. OMFG! Grow the f__k up!

[1998braves64]

"To think (GameDay will come) two years in a row, I don’t know what to say," Bison defensive end Kyle Emanuel told Jeff Kolpack of The Jamestown Sun. "It’s unreal. It’s more than a dream come true."

It's the selfishness that gets me. Say they move it to the tailgating lots. What does that do for NDSU? Absolutely nothing. There are at least 50 programs out there that have larger and/or better looking tailgating setups than we do. And GameDay has been to just about all of them multiple times. Our stadium isn't attractive to look at for 3 hours. We have no terrain features to use as a backdrop. We've got nothing. The only people who come out ahead if GameDay sets up near the tailgating lots are those who want to be able to get drunk and shuffle over to preen in front of the cameras.

OTOH, a downtown location brings something new/different to GameDay. They liked it so much last time that not only are they coming back, but they did another downtown show to start the year in Fort Worth. To successfully push NDSU's brand nationwide, we need to link three things together: NDSU, Bizon and Fargo. Broadcasting from downtown gets us all three; broadcasting from the FD gets us maybe one or two. To throw that away just to make tailgating and drinking a little easier is just unfathomable to me. That's why I can't even think of people like that as NDSU fans; only fans of themselves.

[HoopsBison]

For those against downtown, name a better location. The answer there isnt one. It looked sweet as hell on tv last year and will be again this year.

My only suggestion is to open the tailgating lots an hour earlier so fans can make it by 8am.

[GOB1SON]

I haven't see this posted anywhere else, but has anyone thought of opening the tailgate lot an hour earlier so that people that are insanely slow at opening a cooler and cracking a beer can get a couple shotgunned down before they head downtown?

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but I think that we should have had GameDay in the west lot. I bet we would have 30,000 there and break every game day record and Fowler's and Herbstreits twitter feed would just melt down or blow up or something I guess. It must be a conspiracy among all the people I hate and am jealous of like the Forum and the Marcils and Denny Walaker and Steve Scheel and Matthew Prakash, whoever the hell that is.

The definition of insanity is what????

Posting the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over on an anonymous message board won't change the world.

And it means I have to sort through 20 bullshit posts in every thread to find the one that has value.

The world is run by those that show up. Pay your dues, attend a meeting, express your concerns, have a voice, and cast your vote. But to sit on Bisonville and snipe at everyone that you perceived to have pissed in your oatmeal this morning is just silly. And frankly, it lowers the level of discussion on this board to the lowest possible denominator.

By the way, anybody notice the game 53 had last night? Holy shit that kid can play.

[MAKBison]

Kinda ironic I had to sort through your ranting about other peoples ranting before I got to any thing of substance in post...number 53 and his game. Not trying to pick a fight, as I agree, but where you sit is where you stand....Just saying!

Game Day should start where it left off... with Lee Corso wearing the bison head and bring out the baby bison Corso and explaining that Bizon Corso has been growing since last year headed for 4-peat pastures with a new set of handlers..... Bizon coaching turnover, new qb, new line, new win streaks, etc. Game Day is here to pick where they left off.....then have shot of Chris Fowler coming along behind Lee and bison Corso with shovel and broom cleaning up behind the Bizon.

[Hammersmith]

Close. I posted it in response to someone who asked what company back to back GD appearance gets you. The multiple GD list is much longer.

At least this thread hasn't derailed by FBS talk yet

[Bison_Pride]

The only other games that people are bitching about that didn't get Gameday involve Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Georgia and South Carolina.

It's possible ESPN might be avoiding those sites with the Gameday crew so that it's new network SEC Nation can get a foothold there and get familiar with the set up. Gameday wants fresh angles and NDSU is still a pretty compelling "small guys beating up the big guys" storyline.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Yep from years of hunting believe me it is coldest just as sun comes up.

[1998braves64]

Now it says low of 46 and high of 63 on Saturday. Would assume the 46 is in the middle of the night


It says 39 now, but if you are looking at weather.com you have to look at Friday's low for how cold it will be in morning. That is how they work.. High is usually during the afternoon and low is usually (unless a warm up happens after 1am) the temp just prior to sunrise. Lost my tomatoes to frost a few years ago looking at it like you did as low on Sat night/Sun morning is 46.

OK, The folks in FM and surrounding area need to show up in downtown by the thousands now. Maybe won't break the record, but no reason that 10,000 is far surpassed and closer to 15,000.

Thanks for the info!

[RockyMountainBison]

To unnecessarily echo SDbison, can everyone please do their part to show up and encourage others to go as well. Please choose GameDay over tailgate, please deal with traffic, crowds, parking, cold, anything. For those of us who simply cannot make it, it means the world to see the turnout and the pride. I was literally in tears during the open last year on TV with pride seeing how awesome this school and it's people are. Please do your part to make it better this year. Go Bison!

[MAKBison]

It is sounding more and more that the outcome of this CGD has implications for future events. I keep hearing it has to be bigger an better than last year. If we knock it out of the park there is no reason why they dont come back a 3rd time. I am not saying back to back to back, but, well you get it.....

So let's just step back and see what we have to look forward to Saturday.

8:00 - ESPN College Gameday returns and 10,000 people pack downtown Fargo.
11:00 - Tailgate lots fill up with people from downtown for the first tailgate/game of the year.
2:15 - Banner raised for the 3rd straight year.
2:20 - Team runs through the tunnel to deafining loudness.
2:25 - Frisco Mayor Maher Maso announced to flip the coin to a loud ovation.
2:30 - Everone up for the kickoff!!!
5:30 - Celebrate another victory post game in the tailgate lot.
6:30 - Pass out on couch after being up for over 12 hours. Successful Bison gameday complete.

-the game isn't until 2:30. There should be time to get things in order for the game.
-The Fargodome is becoming legendary in college football conversations for it's loudness.

You just made that up!

[Hail bison]

Is is possible to open up the Fargodome early and do it inside?

Reasons they might do this:

-I have a feeling Gameday likes to change things up. Not always do whats expected.
-Close to tailgating, with lots of people. We'd put 10-15K in there easily.
-A minor cold front moving in later this week.

Gameday is coming to NDSU again!!!!!

[HerdBot]

So let's just step back and see what we have to look forward to Saturday.

8:00 - ESPN College Gameday returns and 10,000 people pack downtown Fargo.
11:00 - Tailgate lots fill up with people from downtown for the first tailgate/game of the year.
2:15 - Banner raised for the 3rd straight year.
2:20 - Team runs through the tunnel to deafining loudness.
2:25 - Frisco Mayor Maher Maso announced to flip the coin to a loud ovation.
2:30 - Everone up for the kickoff!!!
5:30 - Celebrate another victory post game in the tailgate lot.
6:30 - Pass out on couch after being up for over 12 hours. Successful Bison gameday complete.

Agree but here's reality. Get in line to park tailgating rig so I can get downtown.
6:30. Get in line to park tailgating rig
7:30. Line starts moving.
7:45. Rig parked and start walking to shuttle bus.
7:55 arrive at bus
8:10 bus leaves
8:30 arrive downtown
8:40 arrive at gameday

Meantime we miss the start at 8 am. Even for the reserved you miss the start. Throw in construction and it could be worse. All this could be prevented by opening the tailgating lot at 6:30

[LikeMothers]

OK, The folks in FM and surrounding area need to show up in downtown by the thousands now. Maybe won't break the record, but no reason that 10,000 is far surpassed and closer to 15,000. Need many of the buildings to have huge banners and fans to have more and better signs than before. Operation make this the best Gameday of the Century is hereby a challenge to Bison Nation!

Need to get the word out on how well the transportation went last year. People need to have it hammered into their heads that the words "crowds" and "traffic" really don't apply when you can be down to the event in a few minutes by shuttle bus or park 2 blocks away and then be back in the tailgating lot in 10 minutes. (Well, 15 if you're not riding with SDBison). I've had more frustrating traffic jams getting out of church on Sunday.

Agreed. I parked by Sanford on 7th Ave and Broadway to get out quicker. I could have parked at the Bismarck and gotten out just as quick. There will be more people but getting in and out will be just as easy. At the press conference yesterday, they said they were prepared for 10k last year, they should be good this year again. I was craking a beer in the tailgate lot at 11:20 last year.

It sure would be useful to let us park in the tailgating lot at 6 am. No place to easily park a 20 foot RV downtown and it would make a bad traffic situation worse. We had a great thread on it but the mods moved it to "our house" and nobody is reading it anymore.

Do you tailgate inside your 20 foot RV? Canopy and grill for us....5 minutes tops and the tailgate of one truck...4 total parking spots/2 vehicles and use two spaces for a canopy. Done deal.

GROW THE HELL UP!

For god sake, you can’t find anything better to do with your time? I’m sure you can find some “lot lizards” around the Watford area that would take you mind off NDSU football…for a PRICE!

Coastal Carolina's excellent playoff adventure, from coldest game to loudest stadium
Jeff Hartsell



Last week, Coastal Carolina's football team traveled 2,504 miles to play in what coach Joe Moglia called "the coldest game ever played in the history of FCS."

The Chants' playoff adventure continues with a 1,592-mile trek to what might be the loudest venue in college football, North Dakota State's Fargodome.

Coastal Carolina (12-2) takes on the top-ranked Bison (12-0) Saturday at noon in Fargo, N.D., in the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs. The game will be televised on ESPN.

During North Dakota State's 38-7 win over Furman last week, NDSU scientists measured the noise level inside the Fargodome at 115 decibels, the equivalent of a Metallica concert at close range, and just 10 decibels shy of the pain threshold.

The Guinness World Record for noise at a sporting event is 136.7 decibels at the Seattle Seahawks' outdoor CenturyLink Field. The record for an indoor arena, of 126 decibels, was set last month at the Sacramento Kings' Sleep Train Arena.

"It was quite loud and that can be very disturbing to the opposing team," NDSU professor Mark Schroeder said.

After preparing his team last week for brain-freezing cold - it was -5 degrees with a windchill of -20 for the Chants' 42-35 win at Montana - Moglia has spent this week getting for the noise in the 19,000-seat Fargodome.

Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken has taken his team to the Fargodome twice, and lost both times.

"I've coached in a lot of great venues during my career, but there is no place louder than the Fargodome," Monken told a North Dakota paper last week. "There is no verbal communication whatsoever when you are down on that field. It's unbelievable. It's the best atmosphere in college football - at any level."

Moglia has heard that much, anyway.

"Most coaches would say the visiting team is at a very real disadvantage there," said Moglia, who in his second season at CCU is a finalist for the FCS coach of the year award. "It's probably the loudest venue in the country. I've heard guys say you look at other guys and see their mouth moving, but no voice is coming out."

Moglia said last week's game at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Mont., was the loudest he'd experienced until now.

"We have played in some loud venues - Liberty, South Carolina - but Montana was louder than both of those," he said. "Everything we do is hand signals, and we practice with loud music, so we will do what we can to get ready."

Of course, noise is not the only thing North Dakota State has going for it. The Bison have won two straight FCS titles, and opened this season with a 24-21 upset of Kansas State. NDSU ranks first in FCS in scoring defense, allowing 11.2 points per game.

On offense, quarterback Brock Jensen has hit 66.9 percent of his throws for 2,325 yards and 28 touchdowns against just six interceptions. And the Bison are likely to finish the season with two 1,000-yard rushers - Sam Ojuri has 1,077 yards, and John Crockett is close with 947.

But there is some fear in Fargo this week, as coach Craig Bohl announced Sunday that he's leaving after 11 years to take over at Wyoming. Bohl will coach the Bison throughout the playoffs.

"Their coach may be leaving, but he's staying to finish up," Moglia said. "And it's only happened once before where a team has won three national championships in a row. I have no doubt that's the goal for their team and their coaching staff. They're going to want to be able to do that no matter what happens, so that's not going to have any impact. They're going to be totally focused on the game."

One thing's for sure: It might get loud.

[Bison_Pride]

I know they are paid to do a job. But I feel lucky to have guys like Izzo and Kolpack covering the team during this time of success. They are all over everything with stories and tweets and blogs.

[BisonNeil]

You have to admit, when you shit the bed as much as Montana does at home, the curses can be pretty loud.

When you speak of them shitting in the bed you are obviously speaking of their inability to win the big one, right?

These pathetic POS expect respect when they have only won slightly more than 25% of the national championship games they have played in. It's not surprising though. Tough to play football when you are choking on sheep dick.

A goat roper is a Montanan like you who sodomizes said animals. I do have an education from The North Dakota State University. Where did you receive your education?

[mtoutfitter]

We'll find out, as she is coming to the Griz game and will be at TOHBTC tailgate . . . that is if MToutfitter gets her here properly however.

Don't worry CAS I'll get her there with her virtue intact. All you have to do is read some of these posts directed at Western ND/Eastern MT fellas to know that we're only interested in sheep, goats, cattle etc. I get a kick out of how people forget that NDSU started out as an AG school.......for both sides of the state!

Thanks, Craig, and I understand where you are coming from. Spent the weekend riding and camping in MT and WYO, loved it and had a blast. Maybe some new material is needed by some.

Looking forward to tailgating!!

Montana ain't apart of GAMEDAY take your broke back mountain talk to that thread.

GAMEDAY downtown with NDSU revs and rigs lined up,would look sweet just north on Broadway?

There should be TVs all over. ATTENTION BUSINESSES ON BROADWAY. BRING IN MORE TVS


Ps daddy daycare. Sands donuts opens on broadway at 6am and spicy pie pizza at 7?

[all2matt]

who's gonna be the celeb guest since Phil was last yr?

kinda curious since I may miss both gameday and the game being in Iowa City. But I will still have my bison hat and bison shirt under my Hawkeye jersey for Iowa's game vs "ketchup & mustard". hopefully the hawks can play as well vs the clowns as NDSU did :-)

[BYZEN]

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.....are there food trucks etc setup downtown? Didn't make it last year but I want to bring my boys down and they like their breakfast.


last year there were food trucks in the ally west of the Broadway businesses , it didn't look like they did very much business there. Too far removed from the people

Talked to Octavio at Taco Bros last night and he said he will NOT be open for Gameday. Said he didn't make his first taco last year until 8:30 and next one wasn't until almost 10.

CRISIS AVERTED:

Last month I went through Miles City and ate at the Airport Inn. Pretty decent food actually. But I guess I should put that in the restaurant thread.
As far as gameday goes, since Home Depot is a sponsor, do they give out any cool freebies? I could use a new identity since my credit card info was stolen from there.

He had a special breakfast menu and everything. Still no one came! I was pretty surprised as Taco Bros has a serious cult following if you've never been...

Anybody use snap chat? They had a live update deal from Eugene, Oregon last weekend during Gameday. Lots of hippies being worthless, but also cool stuff. Maybe we can make that happen this weekend

Incorrect... the 38 is friday night saturday morning. Shows the same on my phone which shows the graph version (38 friday night/saturday morning).

I used to think this too until one night I killed my tomatoes because I thought it was going to be a balmy 40 degrees that morning ended up being 28 degrees (which was shown on the previous day).

See this link shows Friday day is 59 Friday NIGHT is 38 (which also technically runs into Saturday Morning)

That is because Thursday night/Friday morning is also predicted to be 37 or 38 I think. :)

weather.com shows 8mph wind friday night and 16mph on saturday morning. The calm in the night wind can't be counted on in September especially if it's showing a pretty dramatic warmup for saturday it's likely to be "breezy" but from the S/SW the 2-3 story buildings on the west side of Broadway would block most of that. I definitely would want a spot in the sun will make it feel warm!

I'm not too concerned if it was going to be cloudy with a chance of rain it definitely could affect attendance don't think this will too much. Besides wouldn't want those type of fans anyway right?

[El_Chapo]

So no one wants to talk about how a condo association board almost got bribed into having it 50/50 ndsu/und? That doesn't bother anyone?

Thankfully the Kilbourne group squashed that!!

Weather.com is one of the worst sources for weather info. All these places get their data from the national weather service and reprocess. There is a reason national weather service does not forecast wind more than 48 hours in advance.

Don't disagree that it is not as good as local guys or other outfits but it is a reasonable source for "general" weather information. I use it because I am used to their layout. They have gotten much better over the past 2 years or so at local weather forecasts and conditions though. Not like any of the other posts from other sources have diverged much from weather.com

No, it doesn't bother me because I am worrying about other things:

1. How can I get my money to that Prince in Africa even more quickly?

2. I brought a cactus home from the Arizona desert, and I think it might be full of tarantulas!

3. I just accidentally ate some Pop Rocks with Diet Coke, and I'm waiting for my stomach to explode!
