Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I think the 2 year streak the poster is referring too is our streak over them, but I could be wrong...

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

The more I think aboutf yesterday the less respect you earned. A win cures a lot of things, but you continually put down the NDSU BISON but seem to forget you were pushed all over the field all day. Those are the kind of things that reverberate into the future. We are the new guys around here and are learning the ropes. Your team is good but the general opinion of the Panther fans is over inflated. Your bubble is going to burst because what I saw yesterday was a team fortunate to win against a superior, more physical football team. Any more talk about a national championship in Cedar Falls should be silenced for now. I believe Iowa must have had a bad day and you did what you should against the patsies that followed. Yesterday a lot of problems with your team were exposed by an emerging BISON Ball club.

Good luck the rest of the way. You are going to need it.

If all you were doing is talking about the game, it'd be fine. Calling our opinion of our team overinflated must feel familiar. A NC is still possible, thinking we have a chance to compete for it is appropriate for UNI, we're tied for the lead in the conference and may qualify for the playoffs. To think that anyone is going to agree with you is absurd. Look, I had a great time in Fargo, got together with wife's family friends, and a friend from my company's office. Nice town, compact attractive campus, but your continual bleating about what UNI can and cannot or will not do is, at the risk of repeating myself, absurd.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Hilarious stuff in this thread. Bison fans also told us we weren't contenders last year after we beat them at home.

They also said, "wait until next year in Fargo".

Well, we waited, and it wasn't that interesting.

You realize part of the reason you had more yards is because you had poor field position, right?

They were a year away last year. Must be a really long year.

These guys are a joke.

We had the longer field to be sure but you still couldnt stop us. The calls by the refs hurt NDSU. There was the phantom holding call that took back an early TD and there was the phantom pass interference call that sustained a drive for the Panthers resulting in a score. Otherwise your beat, but even if they were good calls, the margin is very thin and the difference between the teams in very small. They are equally matched.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Blaming the refs now. LOL

How about the call that the Bison got? The one where the reciever came down out of bounds, but they gave him the catch and the long gain, which led to points for NDSU.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I swear to God, the more posts I read by fans up in
"we ain't going very FAR-GO", the more I realize where "Mr Rogers Neighborhood" fan base still exists. Bison fans, start using crayons and stay off the parent's computers. Oh, and huge crowd huh? The sled dogs couldn't find the arena? Call me back when you grow up. I should be home. Although, I might in Chatty town. Perhaps you can watch the game. That is if Mommy and Daddy let you stay up that late.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

See you next year. Good luck.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

JBB- You guys want to talk about winning with class, but Bison fans would have flooded this board with obnoxiousness if you would have won.

We've been to the NC, quarters, and semis in the last 4 years. I'd say we have a pretty good idea of how to evaluate championship caliber teams, where on the other hand Bison fans said this was the year and now you are 1-5.

Feel free to leave. We're moving on.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Its obvious Northern Iowa had a bad day (and still won).

FYP or whatever.

Yep had to be the refs, alien intervention something

And we couldnt stop you ?????? then how did the score end up 42-27

The difference between the teams is pretty small ???????????? we are 5-1 your 1-5 I would say thats pretty different.

And the 500 yards your fans like to keep yapping about well what the hell does that mean you could put up a 1000 but it doesnt do squat with no points to go with the yards

You ever think maybe UNI was looking past the mighty bison to SIU and dint play to their potential ? I can promise you wont see the same game next weekend UNI will be ready for SIU as they are a REAL contender.

So go back to crying about how every thing was against your poor team and how they should of won and how great you really are and your fargo dump, hey maybe you can beat Indy State though so you wont be dead last in the MVFC

Can't take it any longer JBB is an IDIOT! Has to be a high school kid who is bored with absolutly no idea of what he is talking about.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

for those who didn't see the penalty here it is....it comes at about the 57-58 second mark. I don't think arms length away from the ball carrier is considered "not involved in the play"

And for the NDSU crowd, welcome to Valley football. A win is a win! I fail to see how UNI was "pushed around" all day yet still put up 42 points??? A victory on the road is huge especially in a hostile environment so far away. UNI barely beat Southern Utah last year for similar reasons, and the sky didn't come crashing down then. I enjoy how the NDSU fans instantly self deflate because I feel NDSU is better then their record shows and UNI won a tough game, where NDSU fans are saying you could barely beat NDSU and we are sooo terrible, good luck with SIU a quality football team unlike the bison. There was some ridiculous whining over at the bison message board but beware that anyone who tries to retort with logic will just hear the most generic Iowa/Farm jokes in existence.

Thanks for that video.

Two interesting things. Clearly the block on Mertens was legit, he was about to attempt a tackle.

And on the sideline scrum, the NDSU RB had ahold of Fort's facemask didn't let go until they hit the bench. I suspected he was pulling him into the bench but couldn't confirm it until seeing that view.

I gotta say, I really hope the Bison never do find a way to compete in this conference.

Cuz if these buffalo heads can be this obnixious when they're getting smacked down week after week, I can't imagine how silly they'd be if they actually won some games.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Who knew you could live the thug life in Fargo???

Also, really classy play by Paschall to throw a punch at Fort as they were over in the bench area, really classy!!

I haven't watched the tape yet, but it sounds like both players kind of ran through the sideline and hit the wall. And some seem to think that Fort continued the play a little too long and pushed Paschall into the wall. And P. was reacting to that.

The unsportsmanlike flags going both ways were probably warranted, but I'll have to watch the tape before I can decide how I feel as to just how bad either player's actions were in that situation.
