Here's the Bison news from today's The Forum:

Sports Forum: North Dakota State football bumps home night games up one hour
The Forum
Published Wednesday, June 23, 2004
· advertisement ·
North Dakota State is turning back the clock this fall – in starting times for its football games.

The first three home games at the Fargodome against Valparaiso (Ind.), Montana Tech and Carson-Newman (Tenn.) will start at 6 p.m. Night games the last few years started at 7.

NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor said a survey conducted last year was split about 50/50 on having a preference of day or night games.

"But one thing that was a clear indicator was that 7 is too late," Taylor said. "People who drive in from a fair distance said 7 was 'too late for us' and they asked if it could be moved back."

Taylor also said media coverage was a factor. Games starting at 7 p.m. ran up against deadlines for television stations and newspaper outlets.

The last three home games – Southern Utah, California Poly and Northwestern State (La.) – are 1 p.m. starts.

AUGUST

28 Valparaiso 6 p.m.

SEPTEMBER

4 at Northern Colorado 1 p.m.

11 Montana Tech 6 p.m.

18 Carson-Newman (Tenn.) 6 p.m.

25 Open date

OCTOBER

2 at Nicholls State (La.) 4 p.m.

9 at South Dakota State 7 p.m.

16 Southern Utah 1 p.m.

23 Cal Poly 1 p.m.

30 Northwestern State (La.) 1 p.m.

NOVEMBER

6 at Weber State (Utah) 2 p.m.

13 at Cal Davis 3 p.m



The leg injury NDSU-bound fullback Tyler Roehl suffered in the Badland's Bowl all-star football game last weekend was nothing more than cramps

There's a big arse poster hanging on the north side of the BSA advertising the first DI game against Valpo. I might take a picture tomorrow.

Just pulled it into the driveway. Much more cargo capacity (i.e. tailgating supplies ;D) and towing capacity (i.e. grill on trailer for tailgating) than the previous vehicle.

How about for days with no numbers, we use classic numbers instead?

For example for 57 days:

#57 Mike Favor C, 6-0 275 lb, Class of 1988, Minneapolis, MN.

I can't think of a 56 off the top of my head, but it will come to me (or someone will come to my rescue).

Craig

[Bisonguy]

I'm just posting the numbers off the spring game roster.

If anyone else wants to add anything for the days (stats, classic numbers, number of blades in a square inch of FieldTurf, etc.) feel free to do so.

#40 Digger Anderson

Does anyone remember him? 4th and one pitch right. Digger ends the game. Oh I'm sorry wrong team. My bad. I know, nobody heard of his team. I don't even think that game existed last year did it? I know it didn't in some bison fans eyes.

[Bisonguy]

It seems that even the small college football fans are getting excited for the Mighty Bison kickoff!

[nickelboy]

Damn straight! The next few weeks will go by in a hurry. Then it's crack, Oh, miller lite and a brat followed by a ball game. UND actually plays a game in August.

[Bisonguy]

Those lucky small college football fans!

They can cheer on their home team during their season opener, and then drive to Fargo and make kickoff to see the Mighty Bison and the first DI football game in the Fabulous Fargodome!

That would be a Siouxper day of football!

Any insight/update would be good.

[wfduck]

i'm pretty sure TF is history

[Trainer]

A handful of Bison players have mentioned that Fleming will not be returning this fall..... It was presumed that Cinque Chapman would fill his role of scat back and kick returner anyway.

[Bisonfan1234]

scat back

??

You mean half back...right?

[wfduck]

scat is fecal droppings from a cat :o

[dekes]

Are you guys for real. Football fans that have never heard the term "scatback"

Come on!!

[wfduck]

Are you guys for real. *Football fans that have never heard the term "scatback"

Come on!!


oh i've heard the terminology used for years...but I'd never want to be refered to as cat crap back

That obviously isn't the only definition, but if that is what you insist on, you can call it that, everyone else knows what was said.

Anyone remember #34 Steve "Easy E" Ehlert?

Craig

[Green-N-Gold]

Ah yes, Steve Ehlert. Certainly had his share of ups and downs on the field.

[JBB]

I dont know what number he will be wearing, but incoming freshman BB recruit extraodinare Brent Winkleman (sp) is rumored to be strongly considering going out for football too as a wide receiver. He is 6-6 with speed and leaping ability.

[IowaBison]

who needs leaping ability when you're 6-6?

Mankato, MN

I'll edit it above :-/

[Bisonfan1234]

I thought Craig Dahl was from Madison Lake MN?

Mankato East High School should be the important information.

[KTF]

bisonfan1234,

I realize that Mankato East is important but Madison Lake is part of school district 77 (which houses Mankato East and West HS's). Madison Lake is maybe 7 to 10 miles out of Mankato and is about 1500 or so in size.

[Bisonfan1234]

My point is that he can be from Anycity, MN. What high school program he played for is the important thing when considering the collegiate potential of a high school athlete.

[BisonFan]

My point is that he can be from Anycity, MN. What high school program he played for is the important thing when considering the collegiate potential of a high school athlete.


Have you ever heard of "GREAT PLAYERS" on "CRAPPY TEAMS"? Collegiate potential doesn't depend on what high school progam an athlete comes from. An athlete is an athlete no matter what school and program they come from.

[wsuwarrior]

Have you ever heard of "GREAT PLAYERS" on "CRAPPY TEAMS"?

I suppose that's why Brad Nelson went from Winona to Rosemont in HS.

Great players can be on crappy teams, but they're a lot more likely to get noticed if they go to a school with a good team

[Bisonfan1234]

I think the saying should be this:

Collegiate potential doesn't depend entirely on what high school progam an athlete comes from.

Yes, an athlete can run fast and jump high at any school. But who teaches you technique is critical to your development.

Also, like someone said, it's easier to get noticed on a good team.

[TheBisonator]

All I will say about that is this:

I went to St. Louis Park (MN) HS, graduated in 2001. The football team (I played, then later coached for them) is probably one of the absolute worst in the state of Minnesota. SLP hasn't had a winning season since 1975. That's 29 years. Also, SLP's overall record since 1993 is 15-87. They had a 38-game losing streak from 1993-1997. They haven't won a conference road game since 1992.

And SLP High School has not seen a football player go to a DI program in at least 20 years.

So yes, I think the quality of one's high school team has something to do with it.

[Bisonguy]

Okay ladies, you can start your own thread if you want to discuss who wasn't asked to Sadie Hawkins, that cute person of the opposite sex that's in your fourth hour algebra class, or whatever other high school topic that comes up. *::) ;D

It's only 19 days until the Mighty Bison roam in the Fabulous Fargodome!!!

It doesn't help that they play in the CLC.

You're from Ricahrdton? My mom is from there and I have cousins from there. I went to school in Mott; grew up about smack dab in the middle between Mott and Richardton.

[bisonranch]

Less than 1 hour!! I wish I was in Fargo.

[Bison_Kent]

bisonranch,

I do too. I am sure it has been a great tailgating outside of the Dome.

[bisonranch]

In an ideal world, all the games would be on national TV and there would be a live cam outside the dome during tailgating. Maybe next season.

[somebison]

I am currently listening to the pregame ;D ;D
