Bison fans don't give us much credit. Coyote fans come out of the woodworks when they see a winner. We've seen it in WBB, selling out the Dome for the WNIT, WBB games in general are well attended, great attendance for VB, etc. I know so many people that are coming back for this game, people buying 10, 15, 20 tickets for friends and families. The turnaround time on this was like two days, lots of moving parts. Personally, I think the USD ticket office did a great job considering the challenges while also handling ticketing for the other events they were handling at the same time. Unbelievable to me that Bison fans think they are entitled to tickets to this ahead of long time STH, Howling Pack members, alumni, etc. If this game were in Fargo I would in no way feel like I should have priority over their STH or Teammakers members.But, but...they have lawyers and are going to sue! And they are personal friends with people at the NCAA who are going to look into things for them! And there's going to be an audit of the entire USD athletic department! They'll see to it! I used to have a lot of respect for the NDSU fanbase; they were good guests and better hosts, but they seem to be showing their true colors now. You're correct Yote 53, just ridiculously entitled. |

Honest question for the ticket/marketing office... Aren't NDSU fans just able to sign up for a Howling Pack membership, buy tickets, then just cancel the membership after the game? Or is there a way to prevent that as well? Membership isn't free, so they would be paying an extra $100 (I think that's the minimum) fee for the membership anyway. Basically the same as them buying a ticket on the secondary market for $140 I think. The vast majority of those secondary market tickets were at the top of the middle sections on the east side, and in section R in the far corner. Probably the ones that chose to join the Howling Pack had better options. |

The bison fans are talking about sanctions on the University for the ticket thing. Good grief.

Anyway, let’s get back to talking about the actual game. How are we looking on the injury front?

I’m sure you’ve heard, they know a lawyer The law is very clear that if you buy something under false pretenses you are allowed to keep it no matter what. I believe it known as the doctrine of nanna nanna boo boo. Not sure if that's latin. |

I didn't think it was possible to get dumber the further north you go on I-29 past Brookings but here we are.

We sold out the dome for a women's basketball game not long ago. It isn't wild that we sold out a football game. Extreme Bison entitlement showing through because they can't get what they want.

Didn’t someone post the other day that USD played at SDSU on ABC once back in the 80’s? I swear I saw that somewhere.

Check out the most recent “Nobody’s Listening Anyway “ podcast from Zimmer and Gaskins.
Both said they would pick USD in the game. Not against the spread, either. Might be the only talking head or media/ podcast/ YouTuber of any kind I have seen sticking their necks out on that pick.
Supposedly the line is +6.5 right now. If the line moves a little closer to the game, it’s the sharps betting….
