Sport Rush: Fans To Rival Football

Home Blotch Sport Rush: Fans To Rival Football BlotchsportsStuffSports Rush I made some new friends who had come in town for a collegiate sporting event in the Austin area this past Saturday. I happened to have my phone out while sharing a car ride and talk turned to how their alma mater had done on the gridiron that day. So I looked up the score for them. They didn’t know it already because they hadn’t attended a football game that day. The group had not flown in to see the Mississippi State Bulldogs take on the Texas Longhorns. They had instead come to watch ice hockey. North Dakota played an ersatz home game against Michigan State at Cedar Park’s H-E-B Center. The location was a neutral one in geography only. UND treated it as a home game in every way, including bringing their fans. Though both teams’ color schemes include green, the brighter shade predominated.
