Maybe that is why there has been empty seats there. Maybe?

There are families in section 5 and 6, this section is usually pretty full but the last home game had a ton of seats at the very top, I bet there were 8 to 10 empty rows, that is when I came up with the condo plan, wipe out those rows and I could probably put in a 1500 to 2000 square foot place but I have to figure out how to get natural light in there, POD Knows needs a window and an elevator.

Choate has all sorts of bulletin board material for MSU now, "COA", "home field noise", "it isn't fair", "equality for all", "parity is purity", I now have MSU 28 NDSU 17 #BOOKIT

MSU's DL is good along with their safeties. LBs are meh, along with the CBs.

Will they run blitz a lot and send extra guys like ISU did? Choate said in his presser about trying to replicate some of what ISU did.

IMO, the Bison offense will move the ball on this defense.

Its pretty tough to read Choate's gameplan from his presser, you have to listen for what he doesn't talk about. In this context, replicate doesn't mean using the exact same scheme, it means getting the same result. Our defense is much more complex than ISU's and will look schematically different.

Personnel packages and scheme, both up front and in the backend

The Cats will often use 3 safeties, where Brayden Konkol moves down from his starting SS spot and plays more of a LB/S hybrid. He's played plenty of LB at MSU and is a very good safety - he has the size, toughness and tackling ability to play OLB but the speed and ball hawking instincts to play S. Not sure how we will use him this game but that is a package that has worked well for us.

The Cats continue to surprise me. Against AP we ran some stuff I had never seen before, including a CB blitz that resulted in a sack. Not something I think I've seen this year, we don't typically blitz from the CB spot. We have young coordinators and each one is getting better as the season progresses.

This will be the best, most physical running team we've seen so I'm curious how we try and stop it. The Cats DL is deep and experienced and I haven't seen them wear down once this year, but we haven't played anyone like the Bison.

Looks like only a little over 180 seats available from my quick count. Mostly in section 13. Hopefully MSU fans snapped up a bunch of them when they went on sale this morning. Won't be enough to affect the Bison O, but 15k Bison fans vs. 17k Bison fans will slightly lessen the effect on our offense.
