EDIT - also Martin Ruiz, one of their top RBs was held out of most of last weekend's game, only in on one play, and is facing firearm charges also: http://wkbn.com/2016/12/13/youngstown-s ... um=twitter

JMU got into Fargo Wednesday night. They should be fully acclimatized to the Fargo cold by now. However, the noise in the Dome will be a different matter.

StubHub price is around $180 right now. Soon as I see one on StubHub under $100, I'm all in.
