This game wouldn't mean much.....
SD is pretty much a carbon copy of ND land wise but it has 200,000 more people..Why? I suspect just being that much farther South must be the ticket.
South Dakota (like ND) is also a one level athlete State with even more Divisions because of Pop.....and a Football game between a ND & SD town with similar populations would play out close I would presume...
Example:
Grafton last season against a Harrisburg or Mobridge would be competitive game, as would a Cavalier this year and a Webster SD..........
You have to put things in perspective....you don't want the Pride (and both states have it) wrecking the body's of young athletes to say "WE WON"....you know the reffing wouldn't be fair, it never is in this scenario.........and in all reality it doesn't matter....its like "who make the best sausage"??..... they're both good
I do like seeing a Travis Beck (true inhabitants of Munich ND) at NDSU........and I really like the results of last weekend when they played South Dakota!!!
thats what matters!!....JMHO!
If you can’t excel with talent, triumph with effort.
