"I went and saw my son that day," said Farley. "You guys won't believe me, anyway, but I'll tell you this - I wasn't there to scout."

Dagnabbit, coach! Can't you multitask? See your son, AND scout the Bison. ;op

anyone planning on grilling up some bison burgers/steaks at their tailgate?

Re: It's Bison Week!

What about Mo Turner?

I got a bakers dozen (why the package came with 13 I'm not sure) of bison burgers waiting to be grilled. I enjoy my bison meat though, so I may have to grill one or two of them up before Saturday.


I also have some bison steaks, but those aren't for tailgating.

Re: It's Bison Week!

I'm thinking about doing some bison burgers here at home while I listen on the internet. Still kicking around the idea since it'll just be me; the wife is going to some hot air balloon thing in town (thank God I got out of that one tonight.)

3-4 a ruse?

Along the defensive front, veterans Darren Branch and Ben Boothby are two of the starters at end and tackle. Junior August Handenfeldt has the first shot at the other tackle position. Redshirt freshman Chris Jepson is listed as the other No. 1 defensive end.

It's part of that completely two difference schemes per game we are running...


I noticed that too and was confused, but with the way Farley has played position battles this spring/fall I decided not to worry about it. We were in the 3-4 for the spring game...maybe the line stepped up during the fall and we went back to the 4-3?

Re: It's Bison Week!

MSU shouldn't be considered a rival by any means then. I've been around "Bear Week" since I was a little kid. It doesn't mean anything anymore, not sure why people keep throwing out that MSU is a rival and NDSU isn't. If we're just going off of history then NDSU can be a rival based on history.

I have a feeling Bear Week might be back beginning this year.

Re: It's Bison Week!

who is starting at QB for the panthers?

Game day decision?

Farley was quoted in the Des Moines Register article about how he was at the NDSU-KU game. His quote on the starting QB was...

"(It's) still unfolding," Farley said of the battle between strong-armed Zach Davis and fleet-footed Tirrell Rennie at the position. "I think I have an idea of the direction it will unfold, but not for sure. Zach and Tirrell have both done a great job and there really hasn't been the separation you think you might see over time."

He also had this to say about NDSU:

"They've had some setbacks along the way in (the past) two years, but I've always said this is one of the most physical football teams that you'll play against," Farley said.

Re: It's Bison Week!

Rennie...and Davis was going to Transfer but then didn't and Farley is a racist.

Panther nation posters myself included can get a little worked up once in a while and become just a tad irrational. Especially when we are weeks away from game day. Thank god it is finally here.

All in All I think PN posters are a pretty good bunch.

Re: It's Bison Week!

Here's how NDSU's defense will see UNI RB's all day! Probably b/c they'll be concussive from too many collisions with our O-Line

hahaha... silly Bison and their concussions, winning is for Panthers.

Re: It's Bison Week!

I'm still skeptical about the O-line, but that quote from Farley is good to hear.



No mention of JC transfer Wilmot Wellington? I thought he was a factor this year? And I thought David Johnson was a WR? He is listed at 6'3".

The more I've thought of it, the less worried I am about our OL. We have a great coach and a tradition of strength on the line. They lack game experience, but we have a pipeline that will just re-fill that bucket.

As for RB, I would love to think we could maybe redshirt Dawson and Johnson. To get a Jr/Fr stagger between Carlos and Dawson and our WR and Johnson. I had forgotten we had Cutkomp as a redshirt-not a bad fall-back option after Carlos and Strathman (and Wellington, too).

We are deep at RB and WR, I wouldn't be surprised to see 10 guys catch passes a game this year.

Is Stratham considered the bruiser in that mix then?
