I really hope that this game means more to the fans than the players. I have no idea what to expect out of this game and the attitude around here is making me a little worried. Let's not forget, the greatest Bison team in memory outplayed the worst FBS team in memory all day in almost every phase of the game and won by 6 last time.
At the end of the day, winning the MN game means less than winning the conference, making another memorable playoff run, and to me I'd take sweeping the UNI/SDSU pack over another FBS win.
Let's take this game for what it is. A sideshow for the alums who live in MSP. Which is a lot. I still think that there are more NDSU alums in the metro area than any other place on earth. So it will be a great day no matter what the scoreboard says as long as there are no serious injuries.
