Re: Bring it!

Fantasy

I dont think NDSU is going to make those mistakes. I also believe The BISON will force some TOs. NDSU is the more physical team. Last years contest proved that. UNI was tearing up the field and dominating our O line but when it got down to to it they couldnt score because the NDSU defense was too fast and too physical. None of that has changed.[/QUOTE]


Reality

“We got physically dominated at the point of attack,” Bohl said. “The game was not near as close as what the score was although our guys hung in there. I thought we got out-skilled, I thought we got out-physicalled and I thought we got out-everythinged.”

Moreover, all three victories were decisive in nature despite the final scores – especially last year’s 16-9 Panthers win where NDSU gave up a school-record 11 quarterback sacks and had minus-40 yards rushing.

Point, counter-point! Good Show!!

Re: Bring it!

What both of you are forgetting is the fact you are talking about last years game. This year its a different story. Might be just as productive to talk about next years game when UNI will be decimated by graduation. Last year NDSU was coming off the Big win at BSC/FBS Kansas. It was an opportune game for the Panthers. Being a good team they made the best of it.

This game pits the leagues future, NDSU BISON, against the old guys from UNI. This is your last stand.

I feel like people have been saying that for 20 years...

Re: Bring it!

We MAY have a down year next year and everyone will claim "UNI's reign is over!!" As if Mark Farley hasn't been reloading this program year after year after year. We may not have the experience to be as successful but I'm pretty sure we won't fall off the face of the earth. We'll be back and we will still be one of the kings of this conference, as we have been for years

Re: Bring it!

Many have tried to take the mantle from UNI, many have failed. A down year for us is any year we finish second in the conference.

Re: Bring it!

jbb ruins another thread. uni will be the best team ndsu faces this season. thank god the game is in fargo. i see kind of a sloppy first quarter, maybe even half with both teams settling down in the 3rd quarter. you guys may have a good day running the ball but im interested to see how rennie does passing wise. the QB matchup is intriguing but rennie has the upperhand

You are the one that brought up LAST years game, saying ndsu was a more physical game.

Also whats up with typing bison in all CAPS? Is that something like tOSU or something?

Not to mention that it's flat-out not true, as far as the age thing. I was looking in my game program this week from the S. Ill. game, and I noticed that while we will lose some key people (Rennie, Boothby among a few others) from our current 2-deep roster, the NUMBER of people we will lose from that roster is actually quite small. We'll have A LOT back next year - look it up.

Re: Bring it!

Its true in the sense that your most outstanding players are mostly seniors. NDSUs most outstanding players are mostly sophs.

This game matches the grizzled veterans from UNI against the Young Turks from NDSU. It will mark the changing of the guard in the MVFC.

Thankfully the boys are responsible for handling their business on the field and not the blogsite prophets. We have some outstanding seniors but it's not going to get any easier for you in the future. Going home early in 09 and 10 only gave the staff more time to recruit. You are in for four more years of pain and disappointment.

Re: Bring it!

I think NDSU is very happy with its recruiting. One thing is becoming apparent, if NDSU wins they have the upper hand in the MVFC AQ, maybe for 2-4 years out. If UNI wins they maintain their status as the leagues top team and will have, at least until the two meet again, which could be the playoffs no matter who wins, the upper hand in the league and auto-bid.
