Then a lot were sold. Because as of Sunday afternoon there were 4250.
Also many students I’m betting will be gone as it’s a 3 day weekend for them

UND blew out NDSU a month ago to finally clear a hurdle, but they have not been impressive at all since:
Lost 27-0 at UNI. Finished this one with 15 rushing yards and a ton of punts. Enough said.
Won 36-33 vs Indiana State in OT. It took an impressive 60-yard drive in 43 seconds by UND at the end of regulation to kick a FG and even force OT. At home. I think Indiana State is better than their 0-9 record, but a top ten team does not have that kind of trouble with them.
Won 45-31 at Murray State. The Racers had only scored 31 once this year, and that was 41 against a second-from-last Pioneer team. Murray has won one MVFC game, by 2, at home, against Indiana State. Completely blown out by USD, SIU, and NDSU.
I look at UND's last three games and I see a team that should have a very bad time in Vermillion on Saturday. Crushing NDSU was impressive, but I can't find anything else this year for UND where they have looked anything like that. I expect 2008 continues to be the last time UND won in the Dome.

UND is reminding me of how USD was for years. At home, dangerous team. Trouble carrying that game on the road and bringing a physical game and playing defense. Lot of similarities to how we have been up until this year where we're being our game on the road and gutting out Ws with a stingy D and physical offense.

UND is 41-11 at home and 19-37 on the road during his tenure. Since joining the Valley we are 17-2 at home and 6-14 on the road.

I see this game as the polar opposite of the SIU game in that The Salukis had a strong defense and a mediocre offense, while UND has a solid offense and a mediocre defense. High scoring? Low scoring? Don't know how that will end up translating, but I like our chances if for no other reason the home team seems to always come out on top in contests between these two.

I'm just going to be sour grapes for a minute. If the league reverses it, shouldn't there be some kind of repercussion for the officials who called it incorrectly? On replay nonetheless.

What I don't understand is how these idiots can see this stuff on replay and then confirm it knowing that those plays do not constitute an ejection. We ain't playing tiddlywinks, the head is going to snap back violently when a dude is jacked from the front or the side with major momentum. It's called physics!

I didn't realize the league could do that. Glad we won't be needlessly missing a starter longer than we already have. NCAA has let this rule wreak havoc for far too long. So unevenly applied, so many ejections for seemingly minor infractions. 15 yard penalty should be plenty unless the offender has blatantly violated the rule.

I can’t even remember if they called it on the field. I know with Barros against SDSU it wasn’t and the booth buzzed down to call it based on replays. At that point you knew he was screwed because he wasn’t going to overrule himself.

Then there was later in the game that was called on the field but overturned by the booth. Circus.

Heard today that this is the 3rd straight top-10 opponent for the Yotes. Going 2-1 would be pretty good.

Really excited to attend this game! Cheers to hoping the defense plays another great game and the offense gets back in rhythm!

wow. hawks return the opening kick for 6. nothing like spotting a team points. We haven't done that all year. Not a good way to start.
