    Good. I was afraid everyone would go last week and skip this week. Be good to see some familiar faces.

    Who could pass up a $5.00 football ticket?

    It's only $5? My beer budget just went up!


    Mo State is the only one I remember with a ticket that cheap.

    Regardless of conditions the Bison need to take care of the ball. If I remember correctly the leathernecks go out of their way to try and strip or punch the ball out at first contact and throughout a tackle. They focus on this so much that if a team takes care of the ball several more yards can be gained on each play.

Fargo turned into Seattle suddenly and we have the exact same weather going on right now with 4 outdoor fields the team can practice on. Rain and cold weather has been the norm for over a week now. Sorry for the rant.
    Too many pucks to the head.

    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.

    I wouldn't say we didn't have any problem with the weather at Illinois St. last year. We scored to break up a scoreless game midway through the 3rd qtr and had 15 yards passing the entire game. But, the weather never effected the outcome as we handled it as good or better than the Redbirds. If I remember right there were no passing yards for either team at halftime.

    We were so miserable. It was cold and wet. And it was so much fun. I am glad we went.
    Dress warm and bring rain gear. Western Illinois will be fun too
