Dec. 1, we play the winner of SDSU Jackrabbits v. E. Illinois...IN THE Fargodome!! * It's gonna be LOUD! Jeez I'm pumped!!!!!! Faron

LOL Loon! Are you in MN per chance? We've got a couple Bison ornaments, but I'll have to get more! In our stores' tailgating area, there's a stud 6' x 4' painting of 4 large Bison standing shoulder-to-shoulder. DAMN...I'd buy the thing, but it's $700! There's a cool NDSU-Logo hd Weber-Genesis grill cover for $100. Also for a Genesis grill, is a $100 custom laser-cut brushed stainless-steel NDSU logo-cutout, to bolt on the lid! Getting pumped for Sat's game with UNI @ the Fargodome @ 11am CST. It's on the national ESPN Main channel!!! So...if you've got ESPN, you can watch us win! Hopefully....we can crank-up the db's in there to 120+ !!!!!! Faron

I've lived in extreme temps on both ends of the spectrum. I commuted in -55 wind chills and record numbers of sequential days when the temps never rose above 0, and then in climates where the temps regularly rose above 110. At some point, you stop noticing the 5-10 degree differences... it's all just miserable. But it's all relative, too. Early in my career I was driving thru Atlanta when it got a dusting of snow. It was a mess! I called my dad to complain and he said, "I'm sure the Atlanta taxpayers are not paying for a bevy of snowplows, dear, so just pull over and wait it out. You don't want to be on the road with people who aren't experienced snow drivers anyway."

Faron, oh yes, Philly is the place to be for history!! Elfreth's Alley, oldest street in America circa 1702!! burial place of Ben Franklin, of course the liberty bell, Constitution Center is awesome, Reading Terminal Market, Betsy Ross's House and so much more. Olde City is awesome. Its also a fantastic food city!! you could easily do a week in the city and surrounding suburbs. Valley Forge National Park is spectacular! if you ever do make the trip, come in the Fall, weather is usually perfect for outdoor sightseeing. oh yeah, we definitely jumped on the Bison band wagon!! Nice, will definitely check out that game!! going to be single digits and wind chill below zero here on Saturday, so i will be home for sure!! that's awesome that u were at those games!! that's dedication, i tip my helmet to you!! yes, i heard about that comeback drive. he is so dedicated that i feel pretty confident that he will make a full recovery. it would be so devastating if he doesn't recover. he is such a special talent, would be a shame for him especially and the game itself if he doesn't showcase his talents in the NFL. enjoy wildcard weekend!!
