Some hodgepodge of football stuff:
- Brendin Pierre, academically ineligible this season, is practicing with the team and using this year as a redshirt because he played as a true freshman. There’s a lot of value to a scout team player who knows as much as he does about the game, plus it says a lot about the kid to be a scout teamer as a third-year player. On Friday, he was a receiver simulating Lafayette’s offense.
- The depth at offensive line, which coming into this season was looking as good as it has in quite some time, is getting a serious early test. Still, no reason to panic since Billy Turner, Jeff Jerve, Jason Pomerenke and Will Britt will all be back. Turner, obviously, is the big one and he may undergo surgery on the ligament in his thumb, but he should return to the field sooner than later. I would imagine it would be tough to keep him out of the Gopher game.
- Defensive tackle Justin Juckem (concussion) has resumed running drills and it appears he may return the Monday after the Lafayette game. The biggest problem is he hasn’t practiced all August with the exception of a couple of days.

No way billy sits out gopher game, no possible way
The bison should recruit more players who become academically ineligible after two years! Really helps the team!
Cfm he was in engineering, didnt finish a project, gtfo !
what project was that? Minard Hall?
Until you pass calc I-III, diff eq, and physics I and II with a C or better – don’t say that you’re in the engineering program, because you haven’t proven yourself capable.
If he hasn’t passed those classes, he is NOT an engineering major at NDSU. Now you can gtfo.
No. It was the roof of the Alerus Center that collapsed, much like the University of North Dakota hockey team did (again), this year against Michigan. Wolverines 2, UND 0.
when did the Alerus Center roof collapse? if it hasn’t, your comeback sounds pretty retarded.
It collapsed when it was still the Auroura. About the time they were putting the 11 DII champion banners in the visitor locker room. Something about the web trusses not designed for the wind load. I do beleive an NDSU allumni identified the problem and the fix. Building was a failure before any team even played in it.
It was in the early construction stages. A portion of the skeletal roof frame work collapsed during high winds. It wasn’t a major setback.
Also, I wouldn’t say too much about the problems up north after all our own Fargodome filled with rain and sewer water a few years ago and that was major damage.
Thanks for correcting me. It was still the Aurora when the roof trusses collapsed.
It happened on a Saturday evening, according to news reports. Thank heavens no one got hurt because no one was in the building at the time. It was a UND home football date.
