Your fans make your whole program look awful.

Jeg nailed it right there.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

I was at the game yesterday and YSU deserved that win. It was hard fought and they really got their running game going. They would certainly be deserving of a spot in the expanded field too. I think they finished the day with about 500 yds.

Thats our loss and its behind us. On the other hand the convincing victory over UNI that ushered in the New Bison Era will certainly overshadow any ramifications from yesterdays game.

Having what we in the BISON fan base like to call "Land Mark Wins" is a big help come playoff time. NDSU has several "Land Mark Wins" this season including a BCS/FBS Big 10 win and very convincing win over the #2 FCS team in the country, at the time.

Even without the land mark wins UNI has a good chance of getting in with the expanded field provided they can squeak past a very good Red Bird team that NDSU defeated earlier this season. The Red Birds were nationally ranked at the time adding yet another Land Mark Win to the outstanding NDSU won/loss record this season.

So far UNI has lost 2 without any land mark wins. YSU has the big land mark win against the BISON.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

Football is a complicated endevour both on and off the field. The fans are often impetious, immature, angry and jealous. NDSU fans have noticed that in all divisions. Our great success in the BCS/FBS/FCS conferences the BISON compete in regularly draw out the worst in opposing fan bases as they try to justify their own problems and moral victories. Without the land mark wins all you can do is hope your team is selected for the expanded field.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

I remember the last time we entered a "new era" in MVC (Gateway) conference football. YSU was the last team to join the conference before 2008 (NDSU/SDSU). When YSU joined in 1997, they had national championships in 1991, 1993, and 1994. They also won the national title in 1997 even though they didn't win the conference. Since that time they have won (or shared) a total of 2 conference titles in 15 years.

Yes, that was a "new era" in the conference also. We don't win the conference every year. We have 15 titles in the last 27 years (not too bad). IF NDSU can win next week, they will have.....wait for it.....1

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

Uh-oh... Is this the beginning of the Penguin era?

Definitely--most of YSU's starters are underclassmen and the best running back that Coach Wolford has ever seen will be playing next year--time will tell if Wolford is right--I find it a little hard to believe that he is better than Mendenhall. I forsee the YSU bandwagon to be full next year and the actual crowd at the UNI game should be well above the usual 500 fans.YSU finished 9th(dead last) in the MVFC last year but recruiting is Wolford's strong suit and we should have our numerous weak spots fixed by next season.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

I have heard the following things on the grapevine:

UNI is second best at best.

Gil Dobie loves to stand outside the womens bathrooms at the fargo dome.

NDSU is on track for the national championship.

Cap Cat is foulmouthed with embarassing stains on the front of his pants.

AzGriz vomits at football games, I guess he doesnt like the coffee and nobody likes his vomit breath.

Most importantly NDSU has the tie breaker over UNI so, as I said, UNI is at best second best. Thats the nature of the new BISON ERA!

According to the grapevine in Ohio I find it improbable to believe your take on Cap'n Cat.Captain's hometown of Steubenville,Ohio is also hometown to Jimmy the Greek,Dean Martin,and porn star Traci Lords.Its common knowledge here in Ohio that the Captain left for the cornfields of the midwest to escape the drunks,gamblers,and whores here in Ohio!

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

JBB why do you keep saying we are hoping to get in the playoffs? We were #5 in the coaches poll last week and #2 in the GPI. Even if we lose to the redbirds we get in. If we win we will probably be seeded.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

Don't be so sure about that, stranger things have happend...not placing my life on it, but if UNI is ahead of NDSU in every poll on Monday, and each of us pick up a win next Saturday on the road (ours against the third place team, yours against a doormat) we will be seeded higher than you.

A 10-1 Bison team will be seeded lower than a 9-2 UNI team with the Bison beating UNI??? No way!

Hopefully we are in different brackets....rematch in Frisco!

Ndsu will be behind in every poll...it could happen.

Also look at who got the auto bid in 08 and who got the 3 seed

And with a win next week you can make that 16 for 28 and the Bison will be SHARING that title. You can whine about tiebreakers all you want Bison fans but the history books will still show that UNI was a conference champion. Glad to know that it qualifies as the "BISON ERA" when they share a conference title and for us that's a semi-disappointment. The Bison at their best is pretty much an average season for the Panthers.

Big deal. We still beat you head to head.

We'll see "who is at their best" during the playoffs.

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

You sure have a lot of opinions about which teams are better, but claiming Iowa State is a lot better than any team, expecially the BCS/FBS rivals that NDSU has dominated over the past few years, rings of the old "moral victory" claim. You think UNI is better than NDSU because the Panthers had a "moral victory" over ISU even though the Panthers were convincingly defeated by the BISON earlier in the season? UNI doesnt even have a quality win if you arent counting the moral victory at Ames. The expanded field is a blessing for UNI fans in the new "BISON ERA".

Quality wins???? Minnesota 2-8 St Francis 2-9 LaFayette 4-6. The only quality win you have is over UNI
Uni non conference games Iowa State (1 point loss) 5-4, Stephen F Austin(rated when we played them)5-5, Southern Utah(rated early in season) 5-5.

Maybe if you schedules someone decent to play, you might get some respect.
By the way you have a home loss to Youngstown. Pretty much makes up for that quality win with a bad loss. You do realize they look at both!!!

Re: Down goes ndsu!!!!!!!!!

What is this "BISON ERA" bovine refuse, and what fracking conference do you play in? Are we to assume that every team in the nation only hopes to achieve the flaming mediocrity of a North Dakota college's football team, and that none are truly worthy of being on the same field?

I've got no problem with fans who are true believers, but you, sir, strike me as one who needs to back away from the hype.

Really?

We beat Ill State, Ind State and UNI.....all ranked teams. Minny is still a 85 scholly team....and we won.
