Hey.....HI Prepmom!!! Yes, Carson's injury news hit ND/Bison-fans hard. Absolutely SUCKS! Another ESPN crew is in ND doing a documentary of some sort, about Carson, his growing-up in the Bismarck area, Fargo, & his NDSU Bison career. I THOUGHT I heard on ESPN it was airing on New Year's Eve???? Don't quote me there.....? Assuming you guys AREN'T pulling for the "other Dakota" team coming your way soon??!!!?! ;-) If your "D" isn't careful, the Rabbits will score on you....A LOT.... A view over my foot in Fargodome b4 our San-Diego playoff game 2 weeks ago! Faron

Thanks GSK! If some of you would like, here's a y/t link to the Highlights of the Bison shutout of the Colgate Raiders! They had the #1 ranked defense in FCS..................until they got to the Fargodome.............. ;-) NDSU shutting-out Colgate! Next weekend marks the EIGHTH STRAIGHT FCS Semi-final game in the Fargodome!!!!! Of the 125 FCS Football teams, it's down to the "Final Four": the Bison; our biggest rival the SDSU Jackrabbits, Maine, & Eastern-Washington U. EWU has that BRIGHT RED field....Uffda! The Maine Black-Bears will have to travel aaaaallllllll the way across the country....wow! SDSU just has a short road-trip (from Brookings SD) up I-29 to the Fargodome! It's gonna be a WILD week up here!! The VERY good Jackrabbits are coming. It's the "Battle of the Dakota's" to see who meets Maine or EWU in Frisco, TX in early January! I PRAY this s/f game will be Friday night!!!!!!!! Then I can go! I work this coming wknd.....grrrr! I think it will be Friday night, since the NCAA &/or ESPN may not force Maine to fly all the way across the country on a short week. Since our S/F games have been viewed as the "Premiere Games", it should be Friday @ 7pm CST on ESPN2. Since the teams are so close, the LOUD Fargodome may set some db records!?!??! ;-) Hopefully in the 130db+ range. It's happened before....... Faron

Arcy.....too cool! We've been in Chanhassen many times, & I see it's not too far W of there! This IS something special!!! SEVEN NCAA FCS Football National-Championships in 8 years!!! That's a new NCAA Record. SO damn proud of the Team, NDSU, Coaches, & us Fans!!!! Speaking of Fans, here's a "Bandwagon Fan", now a full 50+ lbs lighter than a year ago... Faron

The Bison are missing my nephew. #offtodentalschool!!!
