Re: NDSU Bison v.s. Minnesota Gophers
The thing that scares me about this game is that the Bison probably should be favored....against a BigTen team. It seems weird, and I just hope we can live up to the billing. Bison have won 10 in a row and 16 of the last 17, but upsets happen all the time and you have got to think that Minnesota is desperate for a win right now.
Re: NDSU Bison v.s. Minnesota Gophers
I see NDSU winning by the score of:
32 - 17
Go Bison!

Many North Dakota State football fans will be wearing "Dome Invasion" when their team plays the Gophers, who lost 49-48 in double overtime Saturday at Northwestern, at the Metrodome this Saturday.

Gopher Week
It’s Gopher Week. Finally. Let the fun begin.
“There’s a lot of hype. A lot of hype,” Lardinois said. “Ever since last October I think it’s been a huge, huge game that everybody’s looked forward to. All my friends, I don’t even think they knew who Mississippi Valley State was. They were all talking about Minnesota.”
It was Oct. 21, 2006, when the Bison came that close to bumping off the Gophers of the big-time Big Ten. Minnesota escaped with a 10-9 victory when Bison kicker Shawn Bibeau had a 42-yard field goal try blocked.
Since then, Bison vs. Gophers II has been The Game for NDSU fans. It’s the Super Bowl, Final Four, World Cup, Christmas and deer hunting opener all rolled into one day.

What is the latest on ticket sales in the dome? Last I heard was 5,000-7,000 tickets available. That was a week or more ago.
I am guessing, regardless of how many tickets are sold, there will be a lot of no shows. Mostly disgruntled Gopher fans. I may be wrong though, last years game may have peaked some interest. Last year the Bison were given about as much a chance of beating UM as MVSU was of beating the Bison yesterday. This year some people are venturing to say that the Bison are the favorites. A title I don't think Coach Bohl and the Bison really want. They would rather be taken lightly and come into the dome and surprise some people.
Re: NDSU Bison v.s. Minnesota Gophers
Frankly I think the Bison should be favored as well. Tend to agree with Coach Bohl that you'd rather be the underdawg coming into a game like this, but if NDSU plays up to their capabilities, they should win this game. Who knows? They may win it going away! Go future Gateway Brethern!

I doubt the dome will be full, but I do know alot of bison fans will be there, they released more tickets on gophersports.com in section 215 upper deck the other day. Many Gopher season ticket holders are selling their tickets to bison fans Like me:D on ebay. This could turn out to be a neutral or home field atmosphere for SUxthumbsupx

Especially if we get up early.
Re: NDSU Bison v.s. Minnesota Gophers
The Sagarin ratings have NDSU up at #53 while the Goofers are way down at #95. I guarantee you that every player and coach at NDSU is still mad that they lost at Minnesota last year and they will make it an exciting game.
