Being a Bemidji State alum...

On a whim, I drove down from Marshall, MN to Omaha Nebraska to watch Bemidji State upset Nebraska-Omaha last night!!!!!! WHAT A GAME!!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY

Bemidji State 3 Nebraska-Omaha 2

Thanks for posting. What kind of turnout did BSU have?

[mr_jman]

I would say around 100-150 or so....

I think the beavers will travel better that expected..It's only a 4-4.5 hr drive from Bemidji.. If it were out of state, it would be a different story. I'm looking tickets as we speak!!!

Things are slowly changing in Bemidji as far as hockey fans go. It used to be that with BSU division III - all hockey fans in Bemidji were Beaver fans AND UND, UMD, or UM fans too. DIII allowed the hockey people to have their favorite DI team and still cheer for the local DIII team.

Over the past ten years I have seen a huge increase in the number of people wearing Beaver jerseys, jackets, hats, etc.... and a big decline in the number of other schools jerseys represented. It will take some time to build but it is moving in the right direction.

BSU will travel ok - being on a Thursday during the day hurts. I might try and go but I don't know about any big groups going yet.

Nicely done JMan - I am glad there were some alum in the stands.

"]Its not going anywhere. No where else is going to put on a better show or have better attendance.

I hope you are right but attendance is way down when the Gophs aren't there. Although I think the Dean Blais era will be starting soon at the U which may turn things around.

Pretty cool Jman.

If Dean can't turn that program around, it's time for explosives. You guys must be seeing Blais in your dreams. I know I would be if I was in your shoes. Hope it works out for ya. Wait, forget that. Must have been a weak moment for me. Hope he NEVER AGAIN wears the rodent maroon and gold!
