Odd that it is a 6:30PM CT kickoff. I wonder if there's going to be another FCS game scheduled for earlier in the day?

[BisonFan02]

So......they couldn't wait till a quarter after to announce? :D

The banner says "college footballs first game", so if you go by that.....no.

[gumby013]

I think there's the game in Australia that will happen before the FCS one too.

[Professor Chaos]

Well, that's not accurate already because Hawaii and Cal are going to be playing on Friday night August 26th in Australia (where it will technically be Saturday 8/27 at game time).

[BisonFan02]

Of also note in the release....


NDSU also announced it has reached an agreement with Robert Morris University (Pa.) for a game in Fargo on Sept. 24, 2017. NDSU and Robert Morris have met twice previously with the Bison winning 43-17 in a 2010 FCS first round playoff game and 52-0 in the 2012 season opener.

[Professor Chaos]

As far as the game itself he doesn't have the horses that NDSU has but Jamey Chadwell is one of the best coaches in the FCS. It'll be a great matchup of minds on the sidelines if nothing else.

It will be nice to have a team that the Bison haven't played before. That said, this Bison team is going to pound CSU.

Yeah. I am not one to think we'll piss pound them.

Then again. I have to fall back on my tried and true logic "First time in the Dome."

So I am conflicted.

2nd half is usually the other teams "waterloo" against the Bison. If it was a very good Valley team then I would agree but a first time team in the dome that has a small defense is not going to beat the Bison at home. We'll see.

Could've been Jacksonville SPEED University, but you guys turtled from the game......

I'm looking forward to a quality FCS opponent from last season's playoffs and getting a 6th home game.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

This is very cool.

[NDSUtk]

That's going to be a ****show of a tailgate. August warmth, first weekend of college. Tailgate opens at noon instead of in the morning.

Then the game atmosphere. Home opener obviously Banner raising. A tribute to the late Scottie Miller. Primetime kick off with ESPN.

Hell, let's just make it the crème de la crème and have GameDay start a week early and show up for the game ;) it won't even interfere with tailgating!

I'm jacked for this game and this season. Love NDSU's schedule this year. Solid opponents out of conference, solid FBS opponent and then the MVFC grind.

Hope some Charleston Southern fans can make it up!

[BisonFan02]

Charleston Southern fans need to make it up here. It's going to be ON POINT.

Agree on all points.

Especially EWU coming in for a much needed beat down.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Hats off to CSU for taking the game and coming to Fargo. The guy that works on the Bison FB schedule was just on a local radio station and he said he has heard the word NO from just about everyone. FBS teams do not want to schedule a cupcake like the Bison and he said almost everyone he called in the FCS said NO. CSU didn't say no right away and it turned into a game.

Big xthumbsupx to CSU!!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Probably not but I might look into it. Alf just bought a new Challenger so we'll see if he is gonna be in this area and wants to head that way but as you know, it's a long f'n drive.

Charleston Southern is getting a $300K guarantee from NDSU to come to Fargo, with $200K of that coming from Western Carolina buyout.




Nice little check for Chuck South.

[IBleedYellow]

Holy crap.

Can teams please do home and homes with us, please?

Not at the expense of a 6th home game...no way.

I'm excited to see what the Bucs can do. Coach Chadwell has always said he likes to play against top tier teams - I'd say we got our wish with this one. The $$$ is going to be nice (although I'm sure it will be used to cover travel expenses), but what I like the most is the National attention this game brings CSU - especially if they have a good showing on the field.

I think you will make off with more than 200k after travel expenses. 300k is more than 2/3rds of the travel budget for several MVFC football teams' entire seasons.

I have to say it will be interesting. CSU has been a "second half team" many times in the last couple years. It will be a fun first game in any event. Is it August yet?

Precisely ElCid...in the game I saw in person last year, CSU adjusted very well & began to control the trenches in the game against Coastal. They'll have a tough time being in the dome but it could help them if they need to return to Fargo in the playoffs.

Maybe you could invest in a G6 or something? :) Would make all the road trips go a lot faster.

I think US-2 goes most of the way. Then it's US-87 to around Great Falls. It turns into 200 which pretty much goes to Missoula. It doesn't cut off much time though. Might cut off 20-30 minutes depending on the lead in your foot.

[IBleedYellow]

Here is a clip from Jeremey Jorgenson when he was on the radio yesterday.

Gives lots of props to Chadwell, and CSU as a program in general.

Missoula to Great Falls on 200 will probably eat up that 20 to 30 minutes. It's a great view drive once you get to Lincoln but it is windy and full of amimals to watch for.

BTW, if you are actually making that drive and not just google mapping then you should send a pm when you will be passing through so we can buy you a beer and a meal possibly.

I drove that route after midnight in the fall one year. I saw more deer on the trip than I have ever seen in my life. Death grip on the wheel and scanning the ditches the whole way. Not fun.

Yeah, it's real full of everything in that stretch and you better not be in a hurry due to the winding road and what amounts to highway hairpins. xlolx

You'll see Moose in that stretch as well and that makes the deer seem like nothing.

So how did you feel covering that pass at night? If you were white knuckling the rest I bet you bent the wheel when you hit that.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Took a peek on the EWU fan board to see their reaction to this game on not EWU in it. Good laughs.

I guess NDSU was scared to play EWU right away and take a loss to start the season.

EWU in the FargoDome will be a blowout!

Hmm.... Both Howard and CSU have unfilled dates on 10/8 and neither has released their schedule yet.

Plenty to do besides get drunk with us Bison Fans:

1. Check out the air museum
2. the zoo - it's small but kind of interesting
3. the Roger Maris museum in West Acres - again small but interesting if your a baseball fan
4. Scheels All Sports - kids like the Ferris Wheel lol
5. Take a tour of the Red River, I think they still have tours
6. Bonanzaville in West Fargo - this can take a good days worth to check out everything

[IBleedYellow]

Food:

Wurst beer hall - just ask Ursus or Citdog what they think of Wurst.
Herd and Horns - awesome new bar in town that is run by NDSU football Alum. Lots of great food and brews.

I know there are more but I want to see your reply first.

[TheKingpin28]

There is plenty to do here. Just hit people up and try and get an itinerary going. Wurst is worth it all the time. I enjoy Blackbird and Rhombus Guys pizza. If you got kids, Thunder Road is a great place to take them for mini-golf, lazer tag, and go karts. If you are looking for a night life, downtown Fargo will be bumping hard that weekend since school is finally back in session and it is the first game of the year. If you need a breakfast place, hit up TnT diner in West Fargo. More suggestions are available, just need to know what you are going for.

Still working on my travel plans right now but it will likely just be myself on this trip. I've heard great things about the hospitality of the Bison fans so I'm sure it will be entertaining for this CSU parent. Where would you suggest I look into accomodations? I'd like to be close but I will have a rental.

There's a couple hotels right by the fargodome. You can walk to the tailgate from them. Closest would be the candle wood suites. It's tough to find a spot in the tailgate lot unless you want to camp out the night before. Like others have stated pm a few of the bison fans and I'm sure almost anyone with a reserved spot will accommodate. I'm sure if you let them know in advance they'll make sure your favorite beverage is in a one of their coolers.

All of this

Yeah Candlewood can be hard to achieve. Days Inn is just across the road from the Fargodome. If you want "High End" check out the Radisson which is right downtown (about 1.5 miles from the dome) or the Ramada (which is by the mall so about 4 miles from the dome and about 3 miles from downtown). Just hit up the main squad of Bison fans on here and I am willing to bet they will be more than accommodating to help you out. I know when the Montana Crew came through, they had an entire group of guys go around and drink their way through Fargo.

[BisonTru]

Looks like candle wood is booked out. Days inn still has rooms. I'd book sooner than later if you want to go that route.

You could stay downtown(Radisson), it is a very short drive to campus and if you want to be around restaurants/nightlife that is the place to be. The hotels around the dome are a bit lacking when it comes to restaurants and nightlife unless you like Ursus's favorite spot BWW. The two nicer hotels by the dome(candlewood and homewood) also appear to be booked.

[FargoBison]

The tailgating experience will more than make up for the lack of sight seeing opportunities. The weather will be beautiful as well, great time to visit Fargo.

Its a rough deal.....but yeah, it was one of my favorite places in town.

Looking at the end of the article, there is hope that it may stay open, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

[POD Knows]

I have lived in ND and MN all my life, Fargo in the worst restaurant town for a decent sized city that I have ever been in. Nothing but chains but there are a few gems, Mezzaluna's downtown is an excellent place to eat, kind of high end but worth it. Somebody mentioned Blackbird, another great place on Broadway. I don't know what your financial situation is or if you are renting a car and are mobile but spend the money at stay at the Donaldson Hotel downtown. Very cool place and it also has a really good, but high end, restaurant and it is right in the middle of the action downtown.

The Boiler Room is kind of a cool place downtown, that have kind of an interesting deal for breakfast. If you go in there on Saturday morning, there will be quite a few Bison fans there. Also, thumbs up for the Wurst Bier Hall and Rhombus Guys.

The Spitfire Grill and Doolittles also have pretty good food and are out in the "burbs" of Fargo.

BTW, there was some outfit that rated Fargo as the least scenic city in the USA with a population of over 100,000, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

Looking at the end of the article, there is hope that it may stay open, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Oh my. How did I not hear about this? Wow, but yes I do hope that it would stay open

Avoid all chain restaurants at all costs! They have plagued Fargo.

Ah, it feels so good to have worked with you Bison fans so hard and so long now about the promotion of chains as your places to go only to see what you have become.

Truly well formed adults that have culture and taste. I am so proud to see you fine young men step forward and own your place in life like this.

Except for that SOB FargoBison that is. He is a lost cause.:D

Fargo is a hub for a whole lot of "small town bumpkins". That isn't necessarily a slight to some peeps, but it is a different mindset and mentality. Where I work, I've witnessed people discussing food/restaurants in the "big city" like Famous Daves, Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, etc. etc. Its a tragic conversation to overhear until you realize that is an event for some folks... xsmhx

I have lived in ND and MN all my life, Fargo in the worst restaurant town for a decent sized city that I have ever been in. Nothing but chains but there are a few gems, Mezzaluna's downtown is an excellent place to eat, kind of high end but worth it. Somebody mentioned Blackbird, another great place on Broadway. I don't know what your financial situation is or if you are renting a car and are mobile but spend the money at stay at the Donaldson Hotel downtown. Very cool place and it also has a really good, but high end, restaurant and it is right in the middle of the action downtown.

The Boiler Room is kind of a cool place downtown, that have kind of an interesting deal for breakfast. If you go in there on Saturday morning, there will be quite a few Bison fans there. Also, thumbs up for the Wurst Bier Hall and Rhombus Guys.

The Spitfire Grill and Doolittles also have pretty good food and are out in the "burbs" of Fargo.

BTW, there was some outfit that rated Fargo as the least scenic city in the USA with a population of over 100,000, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

I haven't been to every city with at least 100K, but that seems understandable. Not much to look at.

This one time, I went to Fargo, I thought I saw a hill. It wasn't a hill. It was a mirage.

For real, the first time I went to Fargo was a business trip. I got into town late-I'm talking roll into the hotel about midnight. Even with it being that dark out as I was driving through that part of Minnesota and into North Dakota I could tell how flat it was from my car. I remember talking to my wife on while on the road and going "if I don't make it home it's because some wrong turn type **** happens up here. It's pitch black except the moon light and I can just sense how flat it is. The goons must use the extreme flatness to desensitize you, like the inbreds in wrong turn used twisty back roads"

She thought I was kidding, until a few years later when she went up to Fargo with me.

The one type of chain I'd welcome to Fargo is a high-end steak place (e.g. Palm, Morton's, Ruth Chris etc.) Not asking for much - just one. :)

We ate at the Rudy's BBQ adjacent to Toyota Stadium the first 4 years after NDSU won the title and it was very good. However this year we tried Hutchins BBQ off of Preston Road and Main Street in McKinney (straight East of stadium). OH MY GOD that was delicious.

This....we used to hit up a local salvage yard with a few bucks in our pockets, some "encouragement" tools (a battery, some fluids, ether...etc), and we would drive off with some beater. We ended up with a chevette one time that we proceeded to jump ditches and beat the living crap out of it in CRP/pastures until it bit the dust. We would then fill it up with junk and take it across town and sell it back to a different salvage yard for almost the same money. xthumbsupx

I'd guess somewhere around there. But I also wouldn't look at it as the best barometer for how good CSU is when you factor in the first time in the dome thing. Although I'm certain we (MVFC fans) will do so come playoff selection discussion. I would love for it to be a good game though. Would be a better look for FCS as a whole nationally.

For a national audience, ya, a good game would be nice. But watching them a few games last year, their style of play, esp on defense does not match up against the Bison...nor UNI or SDSU for that matter. They have a finesse defense and IMO, they will get run out of the dome. I could be wrong but I suspect a lopsided win for the Bison.

I watched them in person beat Coastal soundly last Halloween in Charleston...The Bucs D handled Coastal's run & gun offense bending but not breaking while the strong running attack of CSU wore down the so-so defense of the Chants.

While I don't foresee a game like last year's Bison/Griz opener, it will be a good game for 2-1/2 quarters with CSU hanging in there within striking distance (with the help of some lucky bounces) before the size & strength of the Bison finish them off in the 4th.

That would be Super 8. It's close-ish, but it is a normal, kinda crappy, Super 8. If you're looking for close there's a couple hotels within walking distance that might be booked full already: Day's Inn, Homewood Suites, and Candlewood Suites. Everyone would probably recommend trying the Hotel Donaldson or the Radisson downtown, but they are likely full by now as well.
