    Default From the half-court press(Oakland)

    A little smack/satire aimed at the Bison.

    Anonymous player interviewed has to be Marshall Bjorklund.

    I liked that North Dakota US map. Basically 80 percent true.

    I love how most North Dakotan's dont realize mount rushmoore is in south dakota, or even which side of southdakota it should be on.

    Im sure there was no interview nator, the anonymous source was probably the writer.

    I've never met a North Dakotan who didn't know mount rushmoore was in south dakota.

    Guys, you have been suckered in. Learn to read the small print.

    * small print from article:

    The writing is mostly of a satirical nature and is not intended to be taken seriously. Any quotations, facts and comments should not be taken as real news, as most of it is blatantly untrue or never happened.

    Guys, I knew all along that it was satire. Just forgot to add a smiley or something like that.

    I was tired.

    What's sad is that I enjoyed reading that article even though it was smack talking our team. At least their school's newspaper and media department are present with gameday material. Apparently no sports writers for the Forum work Fridays because I don't remember the last time that there was an article in the paper for a Saturday gameday. Half of Fargo doesn't even know the team has a game. During football season you can't turn a corner without knowing a game is going on, where's the love for hoops?

    FWIW, a few of us students tried putting something similar together but the production costs got pretty steep in a hurry (particularly on a college budget).
