Team Recognition at BSA - January 18

[80ALUM]

I watched the halftime recognition at halftime. I hope NDSU took video of Grant Olson and posts it online. Great recruiting tool. Olson talked about why it is special to be a Bison, and what brought him to Fargo. It was an A+.

Lucky you. I was at the game and couldn't hear a word he said.

Me too. I hope there's a little of that 41 million earmarked for some audio equipment that doesn't really really really really suck.

I'm with you on this!!! From my seats the PA sounds worse than McD's...

Quite frankly they looked like a team that had played 45 games in 3 seasons. It's an unbelievable amount of football these guys have played. I know the pros play 16 game seasons but they don't have spring ball and they have literally no other responsibilities than to play football.

Pros also don't have near the wear and tear from practice, having only 14 full contact practices.

Wouldn't he be on crutches if he just had surgery?

You'rer talking about the guy who once got 28 tackles in a playoff game.

On TV it was perfect sound.

The video screen is also second rate at times.

They have played a lot of football for college kids agreed but to say a nfl schedule is less taxing is absurd..... I remember hearing a interview of Darrel Thompson some years ago and he compared nfl life to going to the end of your driveway running full speed Into your house getting up and repeating 30 times a day

I believe it, when I got to college I asked one of the upperclassmen what was practice/games like in college compared to high school. He told me to imagine what it felt like when I got hit the hardest I could remember in high school, and now that is going to happen every other play during practice and in games at college. So it seems obvious that the same jump would happen from college to the pros. You gotta remember that when you go to the next level (high school to college to pros) all guys at the next higher level are just as if not bigger-faster-stronger than the best guy at the level below.
