    Is that on the table and I missed it?
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    Not officially that I've heard. Just speculating since it wouldn't be a surprise given the lack of student attendance this year outside of the home opener/UND game and given Larsen's comments in the McFeely story that came out yesterday.

    What could possibly be more important than having kids properly conditioned for a Bison playoff game?!?!


    Am I the only sane person on Bisonville these days? I'm beginning to think so.

    Oh to be bored with national championships!

    It’s not like we have a major metropolis to draw from and our attendance beats most comparable schools, including comparable FBS schools.

    Out of all the games I've taken my kids to over the years I missed one play due to a bathroom break at a Bison game. Other team scored a TD, so we started walking down during the extra point. Probably was not a TV timeout after that because they kicked off and the Bison returned it for a TD before we got back to see anything. That was the last time that I or any of my kids missed a play when inside the dome.

    Nice!

    I assume you also did the right thing and carefully explained to the offending child that, through their own negligence, they almost caused the Bison to lose. It doesn't have to be factually true, it just has to be potentially true. No need to sugarcoat anything with these kids, otherwise they turn out to be snowflakes. Just give'm the old "what for?' and tell them how things really are when they live in a Champion's world! They'll learn.

    Loaf has spoken.

    I'd agree it's the bandwagoners that are making the difference. Good riddance I guess, don't turn an ankle hopping off of it.
    Its really not hard to understand at all. Not everyone in the FM-area is enamored with NDSU or the Bison. As far as the bad wagon fans there is nothing the matter
    them. They bring revenue and they fill the seats and Im sure a few turn in to regular fans.
