Andre Martin walked into the NDSU library this morning with his computer briefcase and the look of a graduate student. More on the Bison senior cornerback later this week — he’s the subject of our Forum Game Day story.
But know this: there’s a lot going on with his plate this week. His wife, Nadia Martin, will be induced Wednesday morning for the birth of their first child. A level-headed, soft-spoken man, Andre Martin said things so far are going as well as could be expected this week. He plans on playing at Northern Iowa on Saturday, which oh by the way is the school he transferred from this year to attend graduate school at NDSU. Martin is taking advantage of an NCAA rule that allows students with their undergraduate degree to transfer to another school for graduate work and be eligible immediately.
Martin has been an immediate hit with his new team. He said Fargo has been a great place for him and his family, which will grow by one on Wednesday. Here’s WDAY’s story on Andre and his crazy week.
Eager to read the Gameday story on Mr. Martin to learn more, but he sure comes off as a 100% class individual. Hope he can make some big contributions to a Bison win over his old teammates on Saturday!
Wday 6pm wed hockey and soccer in Sept on the biggest rivalry week of NDSU season with uni.
Fail.
WDAY Tuesday and Wednesday 10pm – Stories on Andre Martin and his busy week and how offensive line wants to redeem themselves from 2010. Thanks for watching.
Dom: Tell that jack@$$ to take a hike and why isn’t he watching his own station? Apparently that’s why their ratings are dead last — even their employees don’t watch it!
Congratulations to Andre and Nadia on the birth of their first child. I hope everyone is healthy. Life will never be the same again but in a great way.

I’m not with a station and it’s nice of dom to tell 10pm stuff but I was talking 6pm also why even mention und
Dom and WDAY do more tv coverage on Bison football than the other stations combined. The only thing that fails is your feeble attempt to pick 1 time slot out of the week to complain about.
Is it just me or has the number of “Feel Good” stories surrounding the football team increased in the past few weeks by some of the media. Too bad they had to be created to balance things out. I’d love to hear what the players headed to court have been thinking and doing in the past few weeks – but I suppose they aren’t allowed to talk to the media?
