so is north dakota state and app. state the favorites to meet in the div.1aa title game!?
They would be but NDSU cant play in post season until next season since NDSU is in the final season in its transition from Division II, so the Bison are not eligible for the postseason.
Even though this game is in Minnesota 30,000 Bison fan are making the trip to Minnesota and might out number Gopher fans. This is the last schedule meeting between the two and Minnesota does not want to play games in the future with NDSU.
Which makes no sense since they sell out the metrodome for this game and it is probably the biggest revenue game as far as concessions sales and ticket sales for Minnesota.
Plus 30,000 North Dakota vistors spending money at Minnesota hotels and restaurants helps the local business out.
