putter said:Should still dray well. The largest viewing audience for UM/NDSU was in Alabama so they will tune in to more local teams...should be a win for ESPN

Just accept that however dear to our hearts the Griz and anything west of the Mississippi is to us, there are so many more people in our great country that are more interested in what is in their backyard.
