Any indication how ticket sales have gone for this? I'm not anticipating an interesting game...
I gather that NDSU vs EWU at US Bank Stadium ticket sales were a bit of a disappointment.

Drake will have fans near the corner of the south end zone, Section 104. The novelty of playing in this venue is irresistible to some. Or maybe it's the spectacle of the best FCS team against one of worst...kind of like a bad car wreck that's been staged in advance. Either way, there won't be a lot of blue at Target Field. If you want to see this handsome little guy, drop in before the game at Fulton Taproom. |

Either way, there won't be a lot of blue at Target Field. It seems that most SDSU fans wear blue, not yellow. So we can pretend that they're all Drake fans.  |

Drake-SDSU is up against a Gophers game on TV.
But the Twin Cities' hardcore small college fans will attend Drake-SDSU, then proceed to the Augustana-CSP game at 6:30. Ha!

Two people who were grad assistants at SDSU last season are now on the Drake coaching staff.
On the other side, Drake football alum Pat Cashmore is the Jackrabbits' special teams coordinator.

Final score: 7-70...similar to the 70-point loss to South Dakota 6 years ago. BTW, Todd Stepsis was the defensive coordinator against SD that day.
Stepsis likes to say that nothing is as good or as bad as it seems. Well, this IS as bad as it seems. Drake needs to get rid of Stepsis and his Mr. Rogers act.
