Before we get too excited about our prospects against NDSU, based on one game, let's recall that they lost their first game last year, to University of Montana. That said, let's also look at two things: first, this is the first year when the new coach at NDSU plays with his own recruits, rather than ...

read the previous posts and could not help thinking of this Tom Hanks classic--
