The thing that I love about this game is that it will give Bohl and the coaches even more incentive to get our boys into the best shape they have ever been in. I've always thought that NDSU has one of the best conditioned teams I've ever seen, but it's gonna be taken to a whole new level with this road trip.
A couple of years ago I visited the New Mexico Lobos football and basketball facilities. They had a big sign near the players entrance to the football field warning about the effects of the altitude on athletes (5,312 ft).
And Laramie is 2,00 feet higher.
How do you prepare for that? Substitute often? Bring Oxygen? Hire Sherpas?

Sounds like a pretty effective intimidation mechanism to me. Perhaps I will bring a sign to hang by the visiting players entrance to the FFD warning them about the effects of getting their butts handed to them in a dome...![]()
Seriously though, sherpas: not a bad idea. Oxygen: even better.

The process of recommending a task force to recommend a process to be suggested to another task force, and of meetings called to discuss future meetings. The 21.3% of teh university students that, unlike Tatanka, are online-only, and the 15+% that never step foot in North Dakota. And hating Detroit...Proud member of TOHBTC and NDSU Team Makers.
Well, I for one am a little worried.
Muncie, Mount Pleasant, Missoula, Minneapolis.... We own the M's.
Laramie doesn't start with an M. Neither does Wyoming.
I know it's the wrong sport, but this trend is lacking without Madison and Marquette (Milwaukee.)
I posted a freindly introduction at the Wyoming Rivals board. Hopefully it'll recieve a good reception.
