TC and I partied in downtown Fargo the night after that SJU/CC game, but I doubt you want to wander across the river if you don't have to. That said, while Old Broadway definitely wasn't the most fun we had all night, it seemed like a pretty nice place to hang out--not if you want to have some good-natured DIII banter, though. I have a hunch that Cobbers stay a good distance from that place.

I'll echo Kilted's comments about the music and the drive. The last 50 miles are the worst, as the hills and trees quickly disappear and give way to the amazingly flat Red River valley. And yes, SJU is a great place to stop on the way west. Just think, if things go well for Coe, you could be making the trip up I94 a second time.

we can only hope!  thanks for the info....we'll see you saturday!!! 

So i'm looking for some help guys...coming in town for the Coe game and need a good watering hole friday night, and then pregame.  any suggestions?

btw...should be a great game, from what i can tell.  Coe has a fairly balanced offense that surrounds a few key players...Suckow is a big threat (RB/split) as well as Ashton Northern at RB.  They mix it up on offense but for the most part pass the ball...even short down situations.  As long as they don't turn the ball over, they play pretty well. 

Looking forward to Saturday...thanks in advance for your help!

(ps...i'm driving from Minneapolis...how long from the airport?)

BV is where it's at...if you are looking for a good school, great personal environment, and insane facilities!  I played at BV and my best friends played at Coe...they all have said that if they would have visited BV it would have been a no-brainer just based on facilities and overall small-town environment.  BUT...if your son is thinking more that he'll enjoy a city environment, nothing will beat Coe right now for football.  I think the sports facilities need some major work, but where it lacks in facilities it grows in sense of family, and direction from the coaching staff.  It's pretty hard to argue with the success they've seen since Raeburn has been on board.  there is a real intensity around the program, and it excites everyone around.

overall, if your son wants to play some great football in college, there's no better place than IIAC.  Stay away from cyclone country, btw.
