7 of 8 again this week for both the GAM and 5 dimes. The bettors took the money on UC Davis but lost it on Maine. in retrospect the money was in the Colgate upset, Wofford plus points, Maine as predicted by the GAM and UNI plus points.

NDSU and sdsu advance in blowouts, as expected. UNI down 10-6 in the 2nd quarter right now.
NDSU will host Colgate, who knocked James Madison out (how about that CAA?). sdsu travels to Kennesaw State. I expect them to make it to Fargo to meet their pre-determined doom.

SDSU @ KSU has to be game of the week. KSU/WOF was in my opinion the best game of the second round.
UC Davis is very good too. They have a great receiver, speed and play physical football.

I wonder how they pay for things at SDSU? They only had 3,052 at yesterday’s game. I didn’t see any of that one myself.

As I told a friend last night, the number of people in seats would’ve been closer to 350 than 3052. They probably did sell 3052 tickets, and I also would say most people wouldn’t have gone to a game outside either, but this scenario is the absolute reason when you play FCS football in the upper Midwest, you have a roof. I’m not going to say it was an embarrassment because of the weather, but it was embarrassing to look at if you watched it. Where you saw one fan, you saw fifty huddled together like cattle. ( I guess that’s perfect for them...lol ) This is why three years ago I said they were wasting $66M or whatever the final number was for that stadium. It’s a beautiful stadium but belongs in Missouri or Georgia. Three Dakota schools play inside, whatsbthat tell you? The advantage would be if a team like Kennesaw had to come to Brookings in December. That would be a lay down. That’s the one thing I’d say about this years Coyote team. When we played outside in adversity we looked awful. Youngstown comes to mind as well as Brookings. So maybe there’s something to that, but why punish the 350 that come?

When we played outside in adversity we looked awful. Youngstown comes to mind as well as Brookings. So maybe there’s something to that, but why punish the 350 that come? How much would it cost to build a covered stadium? One that would hold 15,000 would already be too small. One for 20,000 would allow a little growth. It would have to be built with at least a 50 year expected lifetime. A capacity of at least 25,000 would probably be best. How much would that cost? We can learn some things from a coup!e of our rivals. One is in a city much larger than Brookings where I believe the larger city participated heavily in the financing. They now have a stadium that no longer allows many fans the opportunity to get a ticket. They cannot make it bigger. The other is in a smaller city and was built at a time when the state still paid for some of the costs of building sports facilities, about 40 years ago. It forced basketball and volleyball to be played on a football field, which wasn't very practical, especially when seasons overlapped. The pool was wedged into a space too small for for regulation dimensions. These conditions persisted for decades. Some of the sports have now moved to better facilities. By the way, after all of these years, the covered football stadium still sits unfinished. When answering my questions about cost, keep in mind that if you add the amounts spent on the three structures which include the Dykhouse Stadium complex, the total amount is approximately the amount that Sioux Falls spent on the Denny. It has a playing surface the size of a sheet of hockey ice and seats somewhere around 12,000 people. Unless the NCAA adds an arena league division that just wouldn't work. I know that you are a lot smarter business mind than I. How do you think SDSU would have been able to pay for that venture, and when? Personally, I think I would like indoor football in November and December.

Don't see why they couldn't have those cold-weather, late November/December play-off games in the Dakota Dome. Come on, we're one state.

wrj...
I have zero issues with your posts because they are balanced and fair. You bring up reasonable points and for the most part don’t have the hatred for usd in your posts. However I quit posting on your board because if I said the sun comes up in the east 95% of your posters would argue and belittle. I’m going to think about how to answer your question. But since I’m old I’m going to bed.
And for the record, that last post of yours was funny.

It's worth pointing out that the fans in Fargo can't get a ticket because they have a following that's likely as large as the other 3 Dakotas combined. Not an issue in Brookings. That 20,000 seat indoor stadium would likely only sell out when other fanbases make it sell out.

Smiled when I read your post wrj. Just trying to keep all those State fans that like to post on our board on their toes.
Good one!

They also have the good fortune to be located in a metro area with three times the population of the other three Dakotas combined. I really just don't think that factor can be underestimated.
