the best part about this is NDSU just moved up to Div 1-AA not too long ago, they used to be D-II

[/ QUOTE ]

Growing up in MN and living much of my life in Fargo, ND (where NDSU is located), this game had alot of interest to me. NDSU was a D2 powerhouse and are making the move up. That they can play with MN at this stage is amazing, even tho the Gophers suck.

MN needs to fire Glen Mason and move out of the Metrodome before they'll ever do anything again.

Don't they have a new stadium deal pretty much worked out already now?

Yeah, better. I'm kicking myself fr not trying to get away tix through the ticket office in April. I went in 04 and really hated the experience (bunch of savages in that neighborhood). I guess I could've purchased one with plans to sell, but once I get my hands on an Michigan-Ohio State ticket, I could never part with it.

Also, damn Lions.

I was there in '04 as well and also hated it. Since I'm no longer a student, I'm not sure I could still get tickets for the game through the ticket office. I pay my alumni dues and have season tickets so it's possible I had other avenues to get tickets but I didn't bother trying anyway because of how much I hated my '04 experience -- a decision I'm also kicking myself over.

um, IL up 9-3 on penn state in third quarter? wtf?

[/ QUOTE ]

disgusting that Illinois lost every game the last 3 weeks

they were completely dominating the line and special teams put the young qb in a spot to make mistakes

[/ QUOTE ]

Uh, yeah. PSU looked god awful. Illinois was optioning it down their throat, and someone thought it would be a good idea to have a freshman QB make some deep throws. Thanks UI OC for handing us a win.

Anthony Morelli looks like a less-talented Drew Bledsoe. It's disheartening, really, given the hype he came into his freshman year with.

[/ QUOTE ]

Note: Morelli is not a freshman.

Senior. Just a first year full-time starter.

More notes: Tennessee could have easily beaten Alabama 31-6, but the ball bounces funny when people play the game.

Michigan-toSU: I hate both teams, but I am looking forward to this game like crazy.
