GAME DAY

the spread has moved to 14 1/2 from 16 1/2 points

The Kats landed in Fargo yesterday evening it was 19 degrees, the low was expected to be 8 deg....thank God for the Dome......

that was my thought as well, which is why I went ahead and bought mine. We have been to several Texas State events (Track, Baseball, and Basketball) and loved the experience. Being a big sports fan family we just decided it would be good football (hopefully even more with the Kats) and a great experience regardless.   The tickets on stubhub were anywhere from $300 - $85 each as of now...ours were $137 between the 35/40 yd line on the visitors side....can't imagine what they'll be Sat or later.

I bought mine today. .. and will go regardless.... of course hoping for an orange and white crowd. Stubhub said less than 1000 tickets available today. .. and looking on the NDSU website it looks like a lot of those guys are expecting to go back. .. they've already bought tickets and flights. ...I guess when the Kats win most of them will put theirs back up for sale.

Has anyone been? Particularly you Kat fans in 2011 & 2012. anyone going this year. .. whether SHSH goes or not?

Your attitude of exceptionalism disgust me!  :rolleyes: You sir are part of the reason other countries hate us - egotistical maniacs like yourself!   You should now make a public apology....and hope that this thread doesn't go viral - the terrorist :ph34r: are sure to watch read it and attach another US Embassy causing death to Americans. :angry:

And that's my point. .. it's the individual. I named many schools. ..I only mentioned LUs fan board BRI... because I'm also a member there and have personal friends (patents of players) and the first thing said about a transfer is usually negative. ... of the 19 transfers that started on SHSUs roster 2 were kicked off for "not learning their lesson"....I'd take that ratio any day..... as long as the bad are culled. So to answer another of my questions: Why do transfers get a bad rap? Is it because some transfers got in trouble at their previous school and didn't learn anything. But that's a small minority from what I'm actually seeing in the 2 FCS schools I follow LU and SHSU.

Apparently most on this board do not share the same opinions of individual team boards.    i agree with all of the above post as far as no trash and getting good kids that just aren't getting the PT they had hoped for at bigger schools.   Another argument stands toward the coaches, claiming the lack of ability to "coach up a kid" as compared to just recruiting transfers..   I've heard a lot of crap from former Delaware fans and the 3 playoff opponents of Keeler and the SHSU Kats....17 transfers of 90 on the roster....the opponents somehow think it's "unfair" or not as a "quality" win....because you have transfers....In Delaware, Keeler is only given credit for his 3 NC appearances and 1 NC win due to transfers...(Flacco - Ravens)   I've even read on BRI where LU fans seem to hate transfers, any time something goes negative in the locker rooms - it's because of the transfers.   My guess in at least some (even a lot) of the cases it's not the transfer causing the problem, rather than the one who lost his spot to the transfer. He gets pissed, momma is pissed and then his buddy's are pissed and have attitude toward the transfer....and then of course it's said to be the transfers fault, cause if the coach didn't take transfers this internal turnmoil wouldn't exist.....in fact, I'd say this is more than likely the cause more times than not....   It goes like this....   Kid recruited out of HS...gets red shirted (due to all conf player ahead of him) sits his first to years thinking it's his turn for his Jr and Sr years....after all he paid his dues...waited his turn....then....the unthinkable...the FBS transfer comes with same years of eligibility left....only to learn...you will be a career backup....and then the attitude begins! 

The game will be played Friday Dec. 19th at 7pm on ESPN2.

Yes I did. .. thanks.. it's fixed. I was a bit surprised as well..I think it'll drop by Friday.

Sam lost its 2 national championship appearaces in 2011 and 2012 to the Bison. NDSU 3-peated in 2013. NDSU had to come from behind and squeek out wins the last 2 weeks to get the Kats at home in the Fargo Dome. The Bison are still a very solid team with lots of tradition and lots to play for. .. even if they seem more beatable than the last 3 years. The Kats have been underdogs since the first round and it's no different this week. After beating the #9...#3... and #5 teams in the country the Kats will be 16 1/2 point underdogs this Friday in Fargo. ...

Yes they have. .. But those 3 losses were to a #2 FCS...#8 FBS...#2 DII.... the FCS and DII teams are also in the semi finals. ..

Kats win. .. off to SDSU in the Fargo Dome

I've lost my feed .. ... updates please.

NDSU beat Costal. .. winner goes to the Fargo Dome

24-23... Kats

24-16 Sam

Close game for sure. .. And yes. .. Sam has played well in the second half all season. .. I think playing coastal would be better for the Kats
