BISON FOOTBALL

In Craig Bohl's finale, Wyoming takes on Toledo in Arizona Bowl

FIELD LEVEL MEDIA — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 12:30:00 GMT

Wyoming will mark the end of an era when it squares off against Toledo on Saturday afternoon in the Arizona Bowl in Tucson.

The contest will mark the final game for veteran Wyoming coach Craig Bohl, who will retire at the end of the season. Bohl, 65, has spent 42 years on the sidelines, including the past 10 as the Cowboys' head coach.

Bohl coached NDSU from 2003 to 2013 and led the Bison to three straight FCS national championships, including a perfect 15-0 record in his final season. His overall record at NDSU is 104-32.

After the bowl game, Jay Sawvel will take over as Wyoming's next coach. Sawvel has been the team's defensive coordinator and safeties coach since 2020.

"I always joke with all of our support people around here," Bohl said, deflecting questions about his legacy. "I say, ‘You put your hand in a bucket of water, take it out, and that's how long you're going to be missed."

Bohl and his Mountain West team are serious when it comes to the season finale for Wyoming (8-4), which is making its third straight bowl appearance, including its second consecutive in the Arizona Bowl.

Toledo, meanwhile, is eager to show what it can do in front of a national audience. The Rockets are 11-2, including 8-0 in the Mid-American Conference.

A major reason for Toledo's success this season has been the play of quarterback Dequan Finn, who passed for 2,657 yards and 22 touchdowns along with rushing for 563 yards and seven scores. But Finn announced earlier this month that he is transferring to Baylor for his final season of eligibility, and he will not play for the Rockets in the bowl game.

In place of Finn, backup quarterback Tucker Gleason will start. Gleason has completed 14 of 21 passes for 199 yards and four touchdowns in spot duty this season, and he has completed 50.7 percent of his passes for 1,152 yards and 12 touchdowns, with three interceptions, in his collegiate career.

"We wish (Finn) nothing but the best of luck," Toledo coach Jason Candle said. "He's won a lot of football games for us here. He's done a lot for this program, he's done a lot for this institution. Give him a lot of credit -- he had a tremendous season.

"We turn our focus to Tucker Gleason starting this football game and building a plan around him to go play very, very well in the game," Candle added. "Tucker's a guy that has got a lot of great respect in our locker room, and he's somebody the guys will definitely rally around and go play very well for. We're excited about the opportunities for Tucker."

Toledo also lost top running back Peny Boone to the transfer portal this week. Boone racked up 1,400 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns this season and reportedly is drawing interest from Florida State, Kentucky and Louisville.

Wyoming is led on offense by quarterback Andrew Peasley, who has thrown for 1,823 yards and 20 touchdowns, with five interceptions, this season. The team's top rusher is Harrison Waylee, who has run for 856 yards and five touchdowns and has averaged 5.9 yards per carry.

This will be the third all-time meeting between the programs. Wyoming won the first matchup 20-15 in 2010, and Toledo won the second matchup 34-31 in 2012.

A Minnesota UFO? The 1897 Barnesville mystery 'air ship'

Tracy Briggs — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:39:00 GMT

FARGO — In my last couple few years of doing “Back Then” stories, perhaps no story has garnered more attention than this story from December of 2020 when we looked into one of the region's most famous UFO sightings high above the skies of a North Dakota football stadium on a chilly October night in 1948.

It was shared and reshared many times. I even had the chance to talk about it on a UFO podcast out of Spain. That was a first.

The story was probably intriguing for a couple of reasons. First, the person who reported the unidentified flying object in north Fargo on Oct. 1, 1948, was a well-respected World War II aviator. His account was deemed so credible that government officials came out to talk to him about in person.

Another reason this story might have attracted attention? If you look at the time and location of the sighting it’s very clear that the alleged UFO would have been tearing through the skies just as a college football game between the North Dakota State University Bison and the Augustana Vikings of 1948 was carrying on below.

I tried my hardest to find anyone who might have played in or attended the game that night, but I wasn’t successful. The youngest players on the team that night would be about 93 years old. Would they remember anything weird going on in the sky above the scrimmage line? Or perhaps any children in the stands that day might still be around today to tell their story. If so, let me know.

Anyway, the story was so interesting and I loved doing every second of it. That’s one reason I was so glad to hear that Markus Krueger of the Clay County Historical Society is doing a presentation at the Moorhead Library that features this sighting, what led up to it and more.

"In the summer of 1947, hundreds of people started seeing what they call 'Flying Saucers,'" Krueger said. "Nobody had ever seen one before, but once somebody came up with the concept of the Flying Saucer, everybody started seeing them."

He's taking a light-hearted look at how pop culture might have influenced what we thought we saw in the skies and even what we called it. For example, while the people in the 1940s called those specks in the sky "flying saucers," more than 50 years earlier in Barnesville, Minnesota, people spotted mysterious "airships." And those accounts are even wilder than what happened in north Fargo a half-century later.

Mysterious airships hover over Barnesville

In the late summer of 1896, North America was captivated by the “last great gold rush” when prospectors discovered gold in the Klondike region of Canada’s Yukon territory. But millions of Americans were less intrigued by what was in “them thar hills” than what was flying above their heads.

From late 1896 to early 1897, from the western United States to the east, America was enthralled by “mystery airships.” A precursor to what became known as unidentified flying objects (UFOS) or today’s preferred term of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), mystery airships were described in many different ways. Some people saw them as strange lights in the sky while others said they looked like huge cigarlike dirigibles, birds or strange machines.

The first reports of mystery airships came out of California in November of 1896. In addition to seeing the ship itself, some people on the ground said they spotted occupants riding in the ships. Others said they actually interacted with the occupants, and while they appeared human, there was something “off” about them.

By the spring of 1897, the wave of sightings had spread to the central and eastern United States. Krueger says the airships were spotted in Nebraska by February of 1897, Kansas in March and Minnesota by April.

According to Robert Barthomew in his 1990 book, “The Airship Hysteria of 1896-1897,” the number of total sightings was in the thousands and the total number of witnesses might have exceeded 100,000.

“The more people who said they saw an airship, the more people across the country could swear that they saw airships, too,” said Krueger.

An airship was spotted in Barnesville, Minnesota, on April 14, 1897. Kruger shared two clips from the Barnesville Record-Review from April 15th and 16th.

The first paragraph of the story from the 15th starts:

“The airship that has been frightening the people of the Twin Cities for the past week, passed over this place last evening between 8 and 9 o’clock and was visible for nearly thirty minutes and all sorts of ugly rumors are afloat this morning.”

The story continues by claiming some people were confident they saw the faces of Minnesota state legislators gazing down upon them from the ship.

The story gets even more outrageous the next day claiming that the cigar-shaped object carried Martians who came to Barnesville to get a good deal on ladies' skirts at a local store.

“By far the largest and handsomest assortment ever shown in the city at prices that are within the reach of all, a beauty at $1.75.”
Tongue in cheek

It’s pretty clear, by this point, the journalists and the people supposedly spotting the airships were having a little fun with all of this. Some reporters even tagged out of their story claiming they were writing their account from “an insane asylum.”

But the question remains were any of the airships based in reality? You never know. If UFOs visited Earth in the 20th century, why couldn’t they have visited in the 19th century?

In his book “Borderlands; The Ultimate Exploration of the Unknown," historian Mike Dash described and summarized the 1896–1897 series of airship sightings, writing:

“The general conclusion of investigators was that a considerable number of the simpler sightings were misidentification of planets and stars, and a large number of the more complex the result of hoaxes and practical jokes. A small residuum remains perplexing.”

If you’re perplexed and want to know more, check out Markus Krueger’s presentation Thursday, Oct. 26, at the Moorhead Library. Let me know if you discover the truth about the ships and why they might have come to Barnesville.

McFeely: 'It's like a fairy tale' for Cody Mauch's family, friends as former Bison makes NFL debut

Mike McFeely — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 20:43:12 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS — Tailgating options are limited outside U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. The Gold Lot, a parking lot off the northwest corner of the stadium wedged up against the light rail train tracks, is one of the areas in which Minnesota Vikings fans can drink Busch Light and grill bratwurst in the great outdoors before kickoff.

The usual purple sea of Adrian Peterson and Randy Moss jerseys was infiltrated Sunday by an island of red and light orange jerseys bearing the number 69.

The Mauch family from Hankinson, North Dakota, and surrounding areas had arrived.

Carter Mauch, a large young man wearing one such jersey, estimated there would be 400-to-500 people from Hankinson and Richland County inside the big stadium once the game inside between the Vikings and the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers began.

"It's crazy. It ridiculous. It's exciting," Carter said. "There's too many adjectives to describe it."

The occasion? The official regular-season NFL debut of Carter's brother, Cody, the Hankinson High �� graduate and former North Dakota State All-American offensive lineman, taken in the second round of April's NFL Draft.

The big redhead with missing front teeth who enthralled national TV types with his backstory of being a scrawny walk-on tight end from a tiny rural town who transformed into a massive and dominant college lineman would start at guard for the Bucs. There was some question about that because Mauch was listed as questionable late last week with a back injury.

"He's playing," Mauch's high school coach Jason Monilaws said a few hours before kickoff, smiling the sly smile of someone in the know. "We got the text."

It was the perfect set of circumstances. Mauch's hometown is three hours away from the city in which he played his first real NFL game. It wasn't in New York or Seattle or Phoenix. It was in Minneapolis, against the team many Hankinson residents and Bison fans root for. Couldn't have scripted it any better.

That was good news for all the Mauch fans who made the three-hour trip to the big city, including Cody's mom Stacey, dad Joe and eight brothers and sisters. Including all the cousins, uncles and aunts there were probably 100 Mauchs alone at the game.

Who was left back home?

"We're just excited. I mean, I don't know when it's going to set in that this is happening," Joe Mauch said. "Is it going to be when we see him run out on the field? I don't know."

"I just said to Joe, 'When is this going to set in?'" Stacey Mauch said. "We're buying the jerseys, we went to all the draft parties. When is it really going to set in? I don't know if it's going to be just, boom, or what."

The Mauchs were surely seeing the support in Minneapolis. The number of Mauch jerseys — including some sweet ones in Tampa Bay's classic "Creamsicle" orange — was impressive. A pair of Vikings fans making their way through the Gold Lot took note.

"What's with all the Buccaneers fans?" one asked.

"There's a kid that plays for them from NDSU," said the other.

"Oh yeah, that big red-headed guy," came the response.

That makes it official. Mauch is already a legend.

"We've had so much support from the community. And I don't mean just Hanksinson. You've got your surrounding communities, you've got your surrounding farms, NDSU," Joe Mauch said. "We were just talking, there's a bunch of people walking around here with Cody jerseys and we don't know who they are."

Said Stacey: "Yeah, we're like 'Who's that?' We're looking at each like, 'I don't know.' "

The Mauchs, of course, were regulars in the West Lot at the Fargodome before Bison games. This is a family that likes to have fun.

"It does kind of give me Bison tailgate vibes," Carter Mauch said. "Just kind of how everybody you look at is family, friends, having a good time. Just like a Bison game."

Except, of course, Cody is now playing in the NFL. And the opposing defensive line has Danielle Hunter instead of a couple of guys from Western Illinois or Indiana State.

"It's crazy. It's like a fairy tale," Monilaws said. "You got a small town of just under 900 people and you've got a kid you watched grow up who in junior high and ninth grade was just a scrawny little dude. Then he takes off and goes to NDSU and chases his dreams, works hard and becomes a phenomenal lineman in college and gets drafted in the second round.

"You can't write that story."

That's incorrect. Mauch wrote it. The proof was in one of the few tailgate lots in downtown Minneapolis and on the field inside U.S. Bank Stadium. The kid from Hankinson started at right guard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cody Mauch's farm background sets him apart from his NFL teammates

Ann Bailey — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 10:30:00 GMT

HANKINSON, N.D. — Cody Mauch’s football career in the National Football League is grounded in his agricultural roots.

Mauch, a rookie right guard for the Tampa Buccaneers, grew up sweeping the shop, driving tractors and semi-tractor trailers and throwing seed sacks on his parents’ farm near Hankinson.

On Sunday, Sept. 10, Mauch made his debut in the NFL, playing right guard at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis as his team beat the Minnesota Vikings 20-17. About 400 community members from Hankinson and surrounding towns joined Mauch’s parents, Joe and Stacey, and his seven siblings — one older than Cody and six younger — to watch the game.

Joe and Stacey raise corn, soybeans, sugarbeets and edible beans with their son Carter Mauch and Joe’s brother, Andrew Mauch.

Joe Mauch is the Northarvest Bean Growers Association vice president and represents the organization in the U.S. Dry Bean Council. Stacey teaches kindergarten at Hankinson Public ��s.

Cody has younger siblings still at home who are involved in a variety of extracurricular activities, so they're a busy family, and it's essential that everyone pitches in to help.

Teaching Cody farming skills and a work ethic was the Mauchs’ goal for him, like for his siblings, when he was growing up.

Raising an NFL player was not.

“Wasn’t even a thought,” Joe Mauch said.

However, the sense of responsibility, respect for others and the drive that Cody developed through doing his farm work transferred to the football field, his father said.

Cody Mauch also credits his farm upbringing for developing the skills that earned him a position as a starting offensive tackle with the North Dakota State University Bison after joining the team as a walk-on tight end, and in spring 2023, being picked in the second round of the NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The farm chores that Mauch’s parents gave him and his siblings at a young age instilled in him a sense of responsibility, he said. As a boy, he was sweeping the shop and doing simple maintenance jobs on the farm equipment during summer vacation from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“They would give us a list of jobs to do and show us how to do them, and we would do them throughout the day," Cody said.

By the time he was a preteen, Mauch was driving a tractor, and when he got his driver’s license a few years later, he started hauling corn in the farm's semis.

The perseverance and ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances that he learned when he was growing up on the farm also carried over to the high school sports of football, basketball and baseball that he played, Mauch said.

“Especially with how, as anyone who works on a farm knows, how things go bad all of the time, kind of adapting is something that translates well into the sports,” he said.

While Mauch knows firsthand that farming is far from glamorous, his teammates — many of whom are from the East Coast — are impressed by his background in agriculture and ask questions about how tractors and farm equipment work and how his family produces crops.

"My favorite thing is, you get these people from the cities and they don’t know how farms work, and you tell them you farm, and they’re like, ‘Oh, tree farms and fruits and stuff like that?' It’s kind of funny to explain to grown people what you think is just such a simple topic, and you’re explaining it like you’re talking to a kid,” he said.

“They ask, 'How much do you farm?' And you tell them how many acres and they’re like, ‘Oh my goodness, I thought 80 acres was huge.' They don’t really comprehend the size of farms around the Midwest,” Mauch said.

He's adapted to living in a big city but misses his family. His siblings also miss him and the way he "bugs" them, Stacey Mauch said.

"They're always looking forward to when Cody comes home," she said.

Mauch, a rookie, doesn’t know where his football career will take him, but he does know that when he retires from the NFL, he plans to return to Hankinson and farm with his parents, uncle and brother.

Between now and then, his family plans to attend as many games as possible. Joe and Stacey Mauch plan to be at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday, Sept. 17, to watch Cody play in the Buccaneers' game against the Chicago Bears.

During the remainder of the harvest season, the Mauchs’ attendance will be weather dependent. As of Monday, Sept. 11, they still had half of their black beans to combine and all of their soybeans, corn and sugarbeets to harvest.

“We’ll watch the rain and see what happens,” Joe Mauch said.

Former Bison player James Hendricks back on the sideline

Jeff Kolpack — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 16:38:16 GMT

FARGO — The last time James Hendricks was a regular part of the North Dakota State football sideline he did a victory slide at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. His interception sealed a Division I FCS national title victory over James Madison to cap the 2019 season.

Jimmy Football is back.

Hendricks will be part of the radio broadcast team this season as the sideline reporter for 1660-AM, a job that returns him to a program where he made an invaluable mark as a defensive back.

“I love staying involved because the game is fun,” he said. “I obviously want the program to succeed. I love seeing how a team can progress throughout the season and this is going to be an interesting year.”

Interesting in that a team, particularly untested on defense, reminds Hendricks of the 2015 team that had a mix of inexperienced and veteran players. The Bison open their season Saturday afternoon against Eastern Washington at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

It will also be the debut of play-by-play announcer Sam Neidermann, with Bison Hall of Famer Phil Hansen returning as the analyst. As part of the radio crew, Hendricks will travel with the team to all out of town games, something that was appealing to him in taking the job.

“I love it because No. 1, I still like hanging out with the coaches and the players,” he said. “I love road games. I would actually prefer road games over home games now just because of all that goes into it.”

He’s also gotten to know NDSU administrators and fans that are part of the Bison road party since he finished his career in 2019 and people involved with an NDSU game day outside of the team.

It’s not the first foray into radio for Hendricks, who had a regular bit one day a week last year on 1660’s 11 a.m.-1 p.m. weekday show. He worked one game as the sideline guy.

“I’ve been out for a decent amount of time now but I’m still very aware of game plans and strategies these coaches are using,” Hendricks said. “I’m still very aware of NDSU’s playbook and I think I can provide some unique insight there.”

He takes over for Cole Jirik, who gave up his Saturday duties to concentrate on a new property management, development and real estate venture called Optima. Like Hendricks, Jirik was a former player who did postgame interviews in good times and after losses.

“I respect the emotions that go into a game and I don’t want to ruffle any feathers but I also feel like I can ask questions that are going to be intriguing,” Hendricks said. “One of my goals is to be able to ask the questions that aren’t always easy but also ask questions that aren’t unfair.”

Hendricks is a financial planner and runs his own firm called Prism Financial in Fargo. He came to NDSU from Bemidji, Minnesota, in 2015 as a quarterback before moving to safety prior to the 2017 season. Known for his high level football IQ, he led the Bison the following year with five interceptions and was a first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection as a senior.

NDSU won the last 37 games in which he played.

“I knew I always wanted to be involved with football,” he said. “My dad was a coach and we’ve always been a football family. I never imagined it would be radio. I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed it. I love talking about football. What I realize now is I probably liked the Xs and Os more than I liked playing and this will allow me to do that.”

Proposed $140 million Fargodome project could significantly impact Bison football fans

Jeff Kolpack — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 17:00:00 GMT

FARGO — The proposed construction boom for athletic venues on the North Dakota State campus may not be over. City officials on Tuesday unveiled a projected $140 million renovation to the Fargodome as well as a convention center addition that could have a significant impact on the dome’s primary tenant: Bison football games.

The project is slated to add an addition to the west side that will include sky boxes on top as well as a second-level deck on the southeast corner overlooking Gate City Bank Field. Moreover, the addition of more bathrooms and concession space would be targeted to reduce waiting lines at events like NDSU football games.

To pay for it, city officials are proposing using $30 million from the dome’s surplus fund plus a combination one-fourth-cent sales tax and a 3% lodging tax with a special election set for Dec. 5. A super majority 60% approval is required for passage.

Tuesday’s announcement was the culmination of a long-talked about project of a building that saw its first Bison football game in 1993. While Bison football has evolved from NCAA Division II to a Division I FCS dynasty, not much has changed in the dome’s arena with the exception of new lighting, video system and new artificial turf.

This project would be more about addressing the fan experience, said dome general manager Rob Sobolik.

Adding seats in the 5,000 to 10,000 range with potential aspirations of NDSU moving up to FBS football would not be feasible, he said. That price tag would well exceed $140 million, he said.

“And if we can’t do that, then we want the amenities,” Sobolik said. “We want the space for people to move. We want the circulation, more restaurants, accessible seating, the variety of the food and beverages, the variety of the seating areas for people to go to.”

Modern stadiums like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field in Minneapolis were designed with those areas in mind. Target Field has the Budweiser Roof Deck in left field. U.S. Bank has bars and restaurants overlooking the field.

Target Center in Minneapolis, in its latest remodel, removed suites and went to more theater-like seating and club space, and reduced capacity in the process. Even Newman Outdoor Field next to the dome has concourse areas and a left field deck for fans to watch the game without needing a seat.

“Seating areas for people to go to so some will come back and say, OK I’m going to the football game but I could give two cents that there’s a football game going on,” Sobolik said. “I just need to be seen there and I’m going to hang out in this other space and talk to people. I think it would bring on that, but that’s my opinion.”

It’s a trend in other arenas around the country, Sobolik said, and not just in Minneapolis. It would go hand-in-hand with a building trend of athletic facilities at NDSU, with the latest the $54 million Nodak Insurance Football Performance Complex. In the last 10 years, the athletic department has opened Scheels Center at Sanford Health Athletic Complex, new indoor and outdoor track facilities, Tharaldson Park for softball and a renovated Dacotah Field for women's soccer.

Sobolik said a decrease in attendance at NDSU football games in recent years is not a concern. For one, part of that can be attributed to the pandemic and he said stadiums are beginning to see fans coming back.

“Now we’re two years past and people are like, I really like that social aspect,” he said. “So this is creating the space where they have that social aspect of the event and this is what that is attempting to do.”

And it’s just not in the building, either. The project is taking events like tailgating for Bison football games into the mix by removing Albrecht Boulevard adjacent to the building on the west side and moving the tailgating lot up against the west side addition. A plaza would also be part of that area. Sobolik said it’s possible the main entrance of the building could be moved to the west side, taking into account it has the most parking spaces and taking advantage of the addition. The second level of the addition can be part of a tailgating event, he said. Bathrooms on the main level would be immediately accessible before games without having to walk into the arena.

Walk-around areas in the southwest and northeast corners would serve as additional concourse space on the main level. That would help address congestion in events like Bison football games, city officials said.

“It will allow for the circulation and comfort for our guests,” Sobolik said.

Plans call for a new press box on the east side and the removal of the northside press box that was never used. They call for additional and better wheelchair and companion seating. Currently, the dome has 86 accessible seats for football games with the proposed plan taking that to 224.

A bunker suite on the field level in the southeast corner could be used for Bison football games, Sobolik said. U.S. Bank Stadium has a similar space for Minnesota Vikings games.

Proposed construction, a timeline tabbed at three to four years, would be planned to limit intrusion to Bison football games as much as possible, perhaps similar to the lobby construction in 2000. It would be phased to meet fire codes, mainly in regards to entrances and exits.

The construction will also be cognizant of annual events like the home show, Monster Jam, Shrine Circus and the North Dakota high school state wrestling tournaments.

“We’ll have to manage it and work through that,” Sobolik said.
