    , also means no local ads like bison fan cam or kiss cam for the playoffs.. They also hated it when I kept replaying certain replays, usually the ones where refs made a bad call, but eff them, they say you only get to show a replay once but some of those calls needed to be seen repeatedly.. Hope that clears things up on this thread.. Go bison!

    Need to have more video replay cameras! Some replays are hardly worth showing because they are so far away!

    Replay away what is NCAA Going to do take playoffs away from a cash cow?

    Site on sounds meter think about 105-110 is red line. Only time I've seen it go above the red line was GSU.

    I'd love to work something out with the dome/ndsu for this. I have a certified meter capable of handling 4 input microphones and 185 decibels.... would be cool to put one in each corner of the dome and challenge each section to be louder than the next...

    So you are the reason there is no Titan red zone, no kiss cam, no show us your moves. I also thought it was the NCAA.

    The required NCAA ads take away room for all the other stuff I'm betting, also they might not even be kosher with the other stuff.

    If the state only had a surplus maybe they could invest in their schools.

    They are investing heavily to try and keep the medical school licensed and accredited. The state will also spare no expense in order to get the law school pumping out graduates that have a chance at passing the bar.

    I don't know you guys, if Lakes says the decibel meters on the boards are fake, they are.
