Like one of my Facebook friends said, "If you're a fan of a certain Big Ten football team this should embarrass you. Your squad is in the big 10 and can't produce a product ESPN cares about. Better program, better team, less scholarships. Honestly it's pretty sad, really." Begrudgingly, I must admit, he's right, that's an awesome feat. Yep, life is good for the NDSU football team.
WDAZ.COM - Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - When news broke over twitter this morning that ESPN's College GameDay would be making a return trip to Fargo next weekend if NDSU could beat Weber State tonight. Bison fans were quick to fire back with "we'll see you next week."

Ok, maybe this isn't the best news for UND football, but I think it's great news for NDSU and the State of North Dakota. We're still considered backwater flyover country (and we'll probably always will). Any positive exposure, even while the GameDay guys hyperventilate as usual about the SEC, is a good thing.
