I was in attendance and forgot to record the game on Midco. I hope they replay it.
Is there any place to find out what the silent auction stuff went for? I left the game early.

If they do it again, they need to try to get some Eagle and Vikings players. That would keep the draw strong. You'd think they could get Thielen to come since local, and may Dallas Goedert. (I've forgiven him of being a rabbit; one of the best talents I've seen play against NDSU.)

I think it was just fine with the guys they had. You could tell they were competitive but due to the fact that many of them were past teammates they still had a good time razzing each other and I think they genuinely enjoyed being "on the same team" again for a few hours even if they were in opposite dugouts.
Personally, I think I enjoyed it more due to the fact that everyone out there was a former Bison player. Now maybe if they put together a team of former Bison players and then a team of non-Bison players (like Goedert, Thielen, etc) and played against each other it would be pretty cool. But if they just mixed in a few non-Bison with the rest of the guys being former Bison players I'm not sure it would make it any more entertaining.
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS
