A couple notes as we head towards the annual Spring Game this weekend. Game time is 3pm on Saturday, April 21st. There is a full day of activities planned for kids and fans alike. More on that later this week.
■Former Grand Forks Central/Wisconsin/NFL star QB Brooks Bollinger will be back in his hometown this weekend. Bollinger will be a guest speaker at the annual Sioux Coaches Convention that is being held in conjunction with the spring football game. Nice to see him still hold up to his commitment even after he was hired to coach QB’s at Pittsburgh in February. Says a lot about the guy’s character.
■The Sioux have offered Cretin-Derham Hall OL/DL Akeem Roller (6’4″-280). Roller’s older brother Willie was a 2011 graduate of CDH and is currently playing football at Alabama State.
■There are going to be upwards of 50-60 recruits at the spring game. That is an astounding number. For any of you recruiting junkies out there, the Alerus Center will be the place to be if you want to try and figure out who they are interested in.
■The tailgating atmosphere for the spring game should be impressive. Many local vendors and restaurants will be in attendance in the parking lot. There also will be another “rib cook-off” contest. Last year’s spring game tailgate was supposed to be pretty special, but bad weather thwarted that.They are hoping the weather holds up this year and have set their goal to break the all-time spring game attendance record from Spring of 2001 – the first year of the Alerus.
Both teams scored a pair of receiving touchdowns on the field in Saturday's annual Green-White Game at the Alerus Center, but six points garnered by the Green team's fans in the special scoring between quarters catapulted that squad to a 20-14 victory.
The air show during the four quarters of play kept the approximately 2,000 fans in the stands entertained throughout the four-quarter contest as the North Dakota football team concluded spring practices with the annual intrasquad matchup.
Townsend's catch would be the final play of the scrimmage. He finished with five catches for 109 yards and two scores. Junior R.J. McGill (Phoenix, Ariz.) led all receivers with six catches for 110 yards for the Green Team.
Hopefully the air show promises good things this fall!!

approximately means 1200. ha ha.
Except that you care, and YOU respond to EVERY ONE of his posts about the North Dakota team that has owned the bison. I'm just shocked you haven't pitched in to buy yourself a UND SIOUX LOVER badge.

So even your approximate of 1200 is more than the 800 you guessed earlier in the week. Of course you were there counting butts in the seats just like you do to all UND home games.

Which QB looked better?
I guess its a 3 way toss up...Bradley did pretty good he did have a pick in the end zone, Hanson didn't have too much time in the pocket not sure if it was the pass rush or the OL's fault, but the best throw came from Marcus Hendrickson the 3rd stringer. He had a perfect 40 yard TD pass. IMO Muss will pick Hanson since he is a senior then Bradley. As long as they keep firing the ball in the endzone no one is going to care who the QB is.
