"On defense, Laiche is an all-league player, MVP player, spends more time in the backfield than he does at the LOS. Active sack leader in the FCS right now." ME
Lots of unclaimed tickets available. I just got two tickets at the 50 yard line in the single letter rows. I have no complaints.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I'll honestly be surprised if the final score is within 35.
I think that I've watched the whole Nicholls v UND playoff game. It was a waste of time. UND is so unlike NDSU, it's impossible to tell from that game how NDSU might match up with Nicholls.
I did think the OL for Nicholls looked the part... not a bunch of butterballs like Jacksonville State. The RB (Gums!), of course, was good. And Dai Jean (6-4 WR) made some phenomenal catches. Might be a good match up, but it's really impossible to tell given who their opponent was. They've got themselves a good coach and that can make a huge difference.
Not sure what UND fans thought, but their QB played very well (still not sure what he got the unsportsmanlike conduct for) - UND's offense was slants and passes into the flat - that was pretty much it - and the QB had to throw almost perfect passes to complete the slants. Outside of their QB and their somewhat inconsistent WRs, UND is poop - not sure how they think that they're going to transform that collection of "talent" into a run-stopping/rush-heavy behemoth in the MVFC... maybe with the same power of wishful thinking that they used to guide their DI move as a whole?
Several thousand tickets available on GoBison.com/tickets this morning if anyone is looking for them or knows someone who is looking for them.
