UMAC Dome Day (unofficial*)
vs. Minot
St.-Bottineau CC
|
36-28

MSU-B holds off the Lions to win
the rubber match in the Metrodome.
|
| Nov. 8 |
Crown (MN) College |
|
Crown is the only team lucky enough
to play both TBC and Principia this
year. Everyone should be so lucky. |
|
* -- The game itself was not an official
part of UMAC Dome Day, as neither team is a conference member.
However, they paid the UMAC crew to work their game at 8 AM, before
Dome Day began. More info is available on the Dome
Day site.
Trinity certainly had their chances to win the game.
Unfortunately for them, Justin Manning's four interceptions directly
led to 24 MSU-Bottineau points. Perhaps the most amazing stat is
that both teams combined to convert 2 of 10 PATs, with MSU-B blowing
all six opportunities. If it isn't a record for most missed extra
points in a game, it has to be close.
According to the box score, 300 fans showed up (for a game in the
cavernous 64,000 seat Metrodome). For the UMAC championship game,
the attendance was 3000, perhaps 3500. We appreciate the UMAC
trying to give the players a big-game atmosphere. However, we
can't help but wonder if a smaller but still nice facility isn't
available, especially given the Metrodome's price tag of $435/hour.
