    If the name of the entire team is Butler are they all allow to bow without being flagged?

    I'll say what I don't want: An indoor tailgate with a cash bar. I am pretty reasonable other than that.
    Cowboy Jacks is the only tailgate I need that weekend

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Correct......

    In that series, Notre Dame plays their home games in South Bend. Navy plays their "home" games in the series at neutral sites. I went to Navy Notre Dame in Jacksonville 2 years ago...good game, great venue. Navy tries to maximize revenue (Navy Marine Corps Stadium only holds 38k I think) so the bigger venue means more revenue. They also try to play in Navy friendly towns or in recruiting hotbeds for them...so San Diego, like Jacksonville, was a no brainer...the ND fans (not the f'hawkers) will travel and Navy makes sure there are plenty of tickets for the game for anyone who wants them. Lots of enlisted personnel who have no tie to USNA other than they end up in the same service or under the command of a grad really like to go. I took 3 family members who were active duty or veterans...all enlisted, had the time of their lives.

    Im perfectly fine with NDSU playing a game at TCF or anywhere in MSP, but damn Butler? That's the only thing holding me back right now from making plans just hard to give up Labor Day weekend for Butler, hopefully its a "trial" see how it goes then entice a bigger name to sign on and play an OOC game there in the future.


    JMU vs NDSU??? Hell try get a FBS team there (I know never work)

    Nobody wants to play us. We have to play random teams like Butler OOC.

    Butler beat Youngstown
    So, there’s that...
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    I know, that's why maybe it can be leverage to play on a neutral field, outdoors, in a major market. Some teams might bite

    Not to mention you may be able to do a bigger guarantee than in Fargo, but note the Twins aren't doing this for charity......
