Yeah, we are inexperienced. We don't stand much of a chance.
It won't be more than 60/40 cut. I will say 50/50, which is amazing for the discrepency in schools. Don't forget, Aldrich has a nice following in Minneapolis, having grown up just 10 miles away.
For some reason the I picture the Verizon guy with the walking network behind him, and Aldrich being the verizon guy with glasses.
I think it'll be 65-35 pro Bison. Not just a lot of people from Fargo, but Minneapolis is a huge hub for Bison alum. Along with session 2 people going for the underdog.

I say 65/35
No offense, but Aldrich will have a much bigger following than all of them. He is one of the top 3 centers in the nation, and a surefire lotto pick when he decides to leave. I honestly don't think any non-NDSU fans really follow those guys mentioned above too much.
I suspect about 8000 for us. The football game was a huge following but it also was fairly cheap for tickets for families to get. You have to be a little more diehard to go and drop 100-200 per ticket to go and this will limit the "family outing" effect we had for football.
