FARGO, N.D. – I’m an Easterner at heart, which means I have a whole closet full of honest-to-goodness Winter clothes that I never get to wear. So I was probably the only person who was excited to see this game on the schedule. Then I wake up on Saturday morning at the Fargo Forum reports that the high is supposed to be 82 degrees. That’s right, it’s going to be warmer here than in Davis (although, admittedly, we’re not measuring the temperature on the Aggie Stadium turf). We’ll be inside at the climate-controlled Fargodome, so that shouldn’t matter one way or the other. But if strange things start to happen today on the field, note that we were the first to identify the phenomenon.
Here are a couple of pregame notes:
--There is absolutely no pre-game angst in Fargo for this one. From fans to media, just about everyone is convinced that the Bison are the better team and could run the Aggies out of the gym. They have reason to be confident given the way the year has gone. This is the fourth consecutive full house, at the Fargodome, which is an NDSU record
--Emmanuel Benjamin will handle the punting duties for UCD. Brett Dickinson is here, but isn’t expected to play.
--I’ve been informed that a one online gambling site is giving the Aggies 15 points this week. That seems a little high, leading me to the conclusion that Bison fans must gamble on their team’s games a lot. This blog doesn’t encourage gambling, but 15 points? As a frame of reference, other offshore gambling sites were giving the Aggies 6 1/2 points last week against San Jose State.
