It's Bison Week!

[TravelingPanther]

If you don't hate the Bison you are kidding yourself.

It's the first game, against a team we hate, with a fan base that travels, then on top of that, they beat Kansas and we have to put up with their yapping all week (cue lakes).

Should be a great time on Saturday!

Re: It's Bison Week!

Feeling is mutual with many Bison fans.

The Bison defense is did a total 180 degree turn this year....with many of the same players.

Our passing game needs to be more diverse than roll-out right and left for us to have a successful season.

Yes, Kansas will probably have a poor year but anytime a FCS (63 schollies compared to 85) can beat a FBS school......

Bison/UNI game this sat should be a good one. I see UNI stacking the line to try and force the Bison to pass.....which is what they should do. Make the Bison beat you thru the air. Bison will use their power running game and play-action pass and play good defense.

I see a close game with many penalties. If the Bison run for 200+ yards they win. If UNI shuts down the running game and makes Mohler beat them in the air, UNI wins.

Bison win 27-21

Are season openers at home usually sell-outs in the UNIDome?

Haha, hardly and with the addition Iowa vs. Iowa State @ Kinnick is Saturday as well will kill the crowd. Don't expect more than 11k and that might be stretching it.

Our home openers are traditionally schools that are not interesting to the casual fan, so it's hard to say. I don't think an 11am kickoff in Iowa City will effect our attendance that much.

I thought it was a 2 or 2:30 kick in Iowa City this weekend?? I thought that was why our start time was moved back.

It is a 230 primetime game. Attendance will be atrocious

Who will we lose? Maybe some students who want to go drink in Iowa City? The average fan wouldn't be spending the time to go to Iowa City, and if they watch on TV they can still come to our game like they normally would.

Bison travel pretty well, should be 1-2K Bison fans there.

I don't think you know what primetime means.

They beat Kansas? Man I wish UNI would beat Kansas once in a while.

OH WAIT

would be interesting to get them on the schedule a couple years from now, if Jake Farley gets into the lineup and all. (don't think we will play them either way, though)

could you imagine the hysteria if we beat KU in FB also?

Saturday Matinee for College Football is primetime (as opposed to the 11am and 4pm kickoffs). No its not the same as the 730pm primetime but for afternoon games, that is primetime. Night games weren't as big as they are now back in the day.
