Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I had a hard time watching the game because of the glare coming off their coaches head.

Anyone else notice that

you saying Bohls should wear a hat all the time, like Farley?

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

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.

"Think Montana."

Farley referenced this in his postgame with Rima.

Would you be so kind as to expand on this for those of us who didn't get to hear the UNI post-game comments? Thanks!

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Well, I really don't want to pull the scab off of that wound and hope others don't either as we all have moved on. It was many years ago. Suffice to say that many of us have been salivating at the thought of playing Montana in the Dome. If that were to happen-------I don't care how much the ticket cost-----buy it and be there.

Montana 2001 was a bad experience. Our players didn't handle it well. Farley compared NDSU to the crowd in Montana and thought they handled it pretty well.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I remember playing Montana for the first time with T.A. back in the first round of playoffs in 1994. We were warned by other teams that Montana was an extremely hostile environment, but no preparation could prepare us for that experience.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

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.

Maybe you mean this guy? Safety #18 Quentin Scott 6'5 224

But you are probably right. Its just a two year streak for us.

Thanks Rob -- that's what I was looking for. I've read on here previously about that game. No more explanation is necessary.

GO CATS!

Nah, we're not NDSU. we don't need to resort to boasting about D2 championships anymore.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Speaking of boasting I hope people don't mind me giving a shout out to the Minnesota boys in this game. Thompson's interception and 11 tackles, Maurice Turner's long touchdown reception, Sonie's potential as a true freshman and of course Ruffin just being Ruffin. Our secondary is going to be fun to watch for a long time. Funny, last year the O-line was a question mark going into the season and turned out being a strength. Looks like the secondary might repeat that this year.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

Well not undefeated but both teams' only loss was to an FBS opponent.

Well I meant undefeated in Valley play.

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I really had a pretty good time in Fargo though. They made all of us sit in the corner of their dome and the game was a downer as we could see the team was miserable but the tailgating was amazing. Big buses painted green and gold and lots of tents as I'm sure it's pretty cold there most games. We went to the OB downtown for lunch and after the game for the Octoberfest party and that was a blast! I will remember the attractive young barmaid spilling out of her lowcut German costume for years to come! Also, take your damn hat off during the National Anthem!

it seems fairly standard for the visitors fan section to be towards the corner.
Though perhaps not quite to the extreme that NDSU has it.

what, no pictures of the barmaid? ;op
(kidding, that's not really the purpose of this board. but if you feel like sending it in a PM.... hehe)

Re: **North Dakota State** Game Thread

I'm so frustrated with the losing in Fargo. Congrats to UNI. I'm pulling my hair out in Vail. My Buffs have the same problems as the Bison. (i refer to the mascot as the bisons on bisonville cuz it drives them nuts). Ski season is ramping up so life is good.
