    Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

    Finally some reasonable posts from Bison fans. I'll give it to NDSU that they played a very physical game and were a clear step up in the competition level over our last four games. They were obviously ready for us and gave us the best game since Iowa.

    That said our D only gave up 20 points and 7 of those were in junk minutes. Once again we're setup for a classic match up with SIU in the friendly confines next week. Bring on the Salukis.

      I forgot that too. Pat is a great back and probably the best we've faced so far.

        Bison fans,

        Way to go for a tough and rough game. The actual winners from a lot of comments were the zebra's.

        I think a heart felt congratulations should go to the Bisons. Your team played as good as they had all season. BTW if you had played that tough against all your opponents your record would likely be very similar to UNI's. Keep up the intensity and finish strongly. You may be down, and not contending for this season, but you can still spoil a few dreams...

        Peace:
        G-N-D

          Come on guys....don't blame JBB. The explanation for his insanity is simple. In the words of my man Rick James, "Cocaine's a hell of a drug."

            See, we're not all bad. I hate it when 1% of a teams fanbase post stupid, ****ty posts on message boards and ruin it for the rest of the teams level-headed fans; they give the impression to other teams' fans that we are all douche bags.

            As for the game itself, yes, our offense looked pretty strong and put up 500+ yards. Big effin deal. Even if we would have scored on some of those possessions when we were deep in UNI territory, it was pretty obvious that our D couldn't stop the UNI offense. Yes, our D had a few good series, but I am pretty sure Grace and Co. would have answered any more long, Bison scoring drives with a quick score.

            By the way, what's with the 6'5", 225 lb guy in the secondary? Holy ****...from our 1st row, end zone seats, you could really see how much bigger he was than our receivers.
            The tailgating reminded me of a mini Iowa State. And that is a compliment. The buses, RV's, etc is very State U. Which wasn't all that surprising, being the State U of North Dakota. Good stuff. And speaking of good stuff, Met JayJ, Machouse, and Alleycat Saturday. Rob was lost somewhere. Great folks all and our day was much improved meeting fellow Panthers.

              Sorry, I had to figure out where I was supposed to go for FCS Update.

              I couldn't believe all of the customized buses, RVS, and vans. I lost all of my tailgating pics.

                Based on what I saw on Saturday, I don't think it's unrealistic for NDSU to win most of their remaining games. They played better than what you would expect from a 1-5 squad.

                That said, that's about as close as you will get from me on warm & fuzzies for NDSU.

                I talk ****, but as capt cat and rob weiss can attest. I can talk **** face to face AND offer a shot and a beer!!

                nice to meet you guys,

                NOW, I HOPE ALL NDSU"S BAD LUCK IS SPENT THIS YEAR!

                  I'm unconvinced. A single game isn't really that instructive. They certainly gave us their best shot, but it's very hard (impossible) to do that every week. They were up, we weren't, and it makes the game look different than what it would be if all things were even.

                  Additionally, their home field is a little like ours. We never get blown out at home (in fact, I don't remember the last time we lost a home game as badly as they did this week). The swagger that comes with being at home changes how a team plays, especially when the best team in the league/country comes to town.

                  We'll see how they play out, but they'll be a little lucky to get to 4-4 in the league.

                    NDSU lost a their TE (foot), and another player I believe. Not helpful to their future.

                      We showed up expecting to win and we did. There was a zero percent chance that we would lose that game.

                        I was not able to make the game on Saturday, but I have talked with a few who did and they summed up the experience in a way many of you will understand.

                          Ouch! PR with a shot right to the Bison's big fat hairy head!!

                          Seriously, this game was a blessing in disguise. UNI got tested a little, a won't come out so flat again. Had we played another patsy last week, the odds of being a little overwhelmed by the step up in competition this week would've been much higher.

                          Coach will have the team's full attention this week, I'm sure.
