SDSU Game on Fox College Sports

[TransAmBison]

As TAB said to me, my friend, priorities! It is not the first day of hunting season, so I do tend to think some folks should be able to tear themselves away for a game as potentially as big as this one. Everyone makes their own priorites, and I also could miss the game if some outside work came my way for the weekend that paid well.....

That makes TAB sad. That is not THEsocalledfan I went to college with. An opportunity for good tailgating and good football cannot be matched by any price tag. Will you be there? I will.

I will be too, but I can be bought off!

Ah but it is the first day of the season. But you are correct it about priorities. So I will be spending that weekend with family and friends deer hunting. But I will be listening to the game in my box blind. I get the best of both worlds.

Looking at your schedule on the gobison site, I noticed you guys call our game the Dakota Marker/Trees bowl.

I've never heard it called the Trees bowl...what is that all about? Obviously something similar to our "beef bowl" type thing but whats it all about?

Some sort of promotion thing, they plant a bunch of trees in the interest of wildlife conservation/support of the ag history of NDSU. Last year it was the game against MO St., I believe

At one game per year they give out a bunch of saplings. I don't recall who sponsors it, or if there's anything special to get the trees (1st so many hundred? kids only?), but I assume that that's what the Tree Bowl is about.

Edit: maybe they don't give out trees regularly and that just happened once when I was younger...or maybe I just made it up...I dunno

You guys are right. The ND Forest Service sponsors the game and provides a large number of saplings that are given out as people leave. There are about 3000 pine saplings every year, each 6-12 inches tall. Purpose-wise, it's probably a little closer to SDSU's Cereal Bowl than the Beef Bowl. I think NDSU's Harvest Bowl is more similar to the Beef Bowl.
