Hope they're 0-1 in them heading into next season

Either going to be 2-0 or 1-1.

Last time they wore them, they destroyed the Leathernecks.

With every Nike custom font I see, I feel like we won the lottery. Theirs is borderline comic sans.

Ours will look pretty good when it hits football uniforms next year.

Can we just play 3 quarters and call it a game?

Is that happening? I love them for basketball, but idk about that font on a football uniform...

I love our football uniforms right now and would be in favor of keeping them for a very long time.

Correct me if Im wrong, but the bison only scored 2 offensive TD's last week... a clean game by UNI and 20 points could win it...

I like the font for the letters but I agree the numbers look wonky.

Imagine the effect on play calling when you're up 21-0 at half and running all over a defense even while it is stacking the box. UNI run D will undoubtedly be better though and the Bison will be forced to be less one dimensional to win.

True, I figured you probably went vanilla with a lead...

Yeah, we're on year 3 of this set. Nike is re-doing their fabrics and templates for next year that's why we decided to wait. We will have something new and it Will certainly have the new font. I actually think it'll work really well. Going to 'UNI' on all of our uniforms has really cleaned things up.

I think first one to 20 wins.

That seems like smart money to me. I think this is going to be about defense, STs and limiting mistakes.

If you really stop and think about it this is terrible money. If NDSU is first to twenty its smart money as we do not possess the offensive game plan, pass protection, route running, or throwing ability to play catch up.

If we are the first to twenty, at no point in time in the last decade has this coaching staff shown it can close out games with a lead, including our last two heartbreaking, devastating trips to the Fargo Dome.

Do I believe we can win? Sure, will I be celebrating in the second quarter when we take a 21-14 lead, hell no.

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

I'm sure Panther fans would love to hand the Bison their first loss wearing these.

How the hell did you guys manage to clone David Johnson? I watched the PSU game and wondered where the hell was that running back when you played us? Guy is the spitting image, and as a Bison fan that's pretty scary.

The nice thing this week is that Arizona plays on Thursday so there will be no urgency to get him to the Cardinal's game Sunday. What I'm saying is we won't need the clone this week when we can run the real Johnson with the name of Smith on his jersey.

[06panther10]

I will say one thing though, I think that for the first time in a long time (years), I think this team and coaching staff have found an actual identity and are committed to it, specifically on offense. This is a good thing and has helped our team immensely.

Specifically how we are doing it, I do not necessarily agree with, as I would prefer to see much more of a balance between run and pass. We have an elite running QB and a huge RB, and the coaching staff has just decided we are going to gash you for 4 quarters, and just attack you on defense.

How far can it take us? We shall see.
