[lakesbison]

good luck posters! we'll be at O'Kelly's watching@!

[TransAmBison]

good luck posters! we'll be at O'Kelly's watching@!
I thought you were going to Chubs?

[Yo]

I thought you were going to Chubs?


Either way still more reason to go to PlayMakers.;)

[onbison09]

Audio is working great!! Hopefully the video works.

[NDSUstudent]

Phil Hanson says the stadium is packed, seems to be quite impressed with what he sees.

[Kevin]

I've torn my brothers house apart looking for a freaking AM/FM radio with no luck. Looks like I'll be listening to this one in the truck guys.

[NWNDBison]

Swirling crosswind at 15-20 mph, just like our Chippewa friends promised.

[onbison09]

Video's working fine. I'm getting pumped!!!

[NDSUstudent]

This has nothing to do with NDSU vs CMU but people are saying over at AGS that the FCS playoffs will expand to 18 teams for next year.

[Kevin]

I managed to find an old POS boombox in his closet. Crappy audio quality, but audio none-the-less.

[NDSUstudent]

I hear Thunderstruck in the background, that should pump the team up!

[coloradobison]

Let's get it on!

[NDSUstudent]

CMU wins the toss and takes the ball

[Kevin]

Defense needs to send a message here.

[NDSUstudent]

The March is on!!!!

[Kevin]

Ouch, bibby!

[Kevin]

It's looking like quick passes are going to be a problem again today.

[Kevin]

Way to go Defense!

[NDSUstudent]

Nice Stop Defense!!

[Kevin]

Let's hope thats the only penalty today.

[NDSUstudent]

10 yard punt

[Kevin]

How many batteries does it take to shock a Chippewa?

One double A

[Kevin]

Big third down, already.

[Kevin]

Walker is a stud.

[NDSUstudent]

1st down Bison at the CMU 21

[Kevin]

A good start as bibby kicks the FG.

[NDSUstudent]

FG is good!

[AKBison]

First Blood, good job Offense. 3-0 Bison

[NDSUstudent]

Nice Kickoff, CMU will start at their 20

[Kevin]

They're taking a page out of Bomar's book. Gotta start making someone stay home to stop that.

[scottheck]

What the hell?!?!?

[stpaulbison]

This running quarterback could be a problem....

[NDSUstudent]

That QB run was poor pursuit by the Bison, everyone went for the fake.

[bisonaudit]

Hansen is giving them the business on the radio because we saw that last week and didn't 'get it fixed'.

[Kevin]

Pass interference on the Herd. Ouch.

[stpaulbison]

That's bull

[Kevin]

Picked By Maresh!

[stpaulbison]

For anyone not watching or listening, 2nd and 4 at the 9 yd line. WHOOOOOO! INT

[scottheck]

Yahooooooo!!!

[No_Skill]

Int!!! Yes!!!!!

[NDSUstudent]

INT!!! Bison D comes through!

[AKBison]

NIce D Baby!!!!!!!!

[scottheck]

We dodged a bullet there.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

INT by Maresh at the 5!

[Kevin]

Bend, but don't break defense.

[bisonaudit]

Penn St. turnover inside the 10. Michigan 7 Penn St 0

[stpaulbison]

Penn St. turnover inside the 10. Michigan 7 Penn St 0

WTF? But why post it here?

[Kevin]

TO bison.

This is a tough call, bad spot on the field and decent yards to go for the first. I say play action and hit someone in the flat is the most logical call, but we'll see in a few minutes.

[bisonaudit]

Sorry, party foul, apparently.

[Kevin]

Heckendorf is quickly taking over for Steffes as Mr. Reliable.

[NDSUstudent]

Getting our Roehl on!!!

[scottheck]

Finallly, a run that isn't through the 1 or 2 hole...

[jeffdaryl3rd]

How about Roehl so far? Pretty good. Even when he's getting hit early he's falling forward and picking up a couple.

[stpaulbison]

To anybody who is watching the game.....doesn't it look like the chips are getting to the ball pretty late after our guys are already down? It just seems like there are some questionable tackles that could be considered late hits.

[NDSUstudent]

To anybody who is watching the game.....doesn't it look like the chips are getting to the ball pretty late after our guys are already down? It just seems like there are some questionable tackles that could be considered late hits.

Yeah, if we had Gateway refs there would be some yellow flying

[scottheck]

THere hasn't been 2 yards on that play yet.

[Kevin]

Drago comes through big. CMU starts out at the 10

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Nice kick and coverage by NDSU to pin them on their 10.

[scottheck]

Drago comes through big. CMU starts out at the 10

Good coverage too.

[stpaulbison]

Sorry, party foul, apparently.

Ehh, it's all good. I would have liked to see someone say Ball state missed a last second field goal to lose.

[Kevin]

Nice 3 and out by our defense!


Now that's some NoDak styled football!

[NDSUstudent]

How about that Bison defense!!!

[stpaulbison]

nice 3 and out defense!!!!

[scottheck]

Good pressure by Mays on the blitz.

[scottheck]

Great field position, time for the O to move it about 50 yards.

[bisonaudit]

I've just got the audio. Sounds like CMU is taking a Indy Colts type approach on offense, in that they're short huddling or calling the plays in from the sideline while they're on or close to the line in order to prevent changes in the defensive packages.

[Kevin]

These refs are terrible.

[NDSUstudent]

That was a forward pass, right???

[Kevin]

3rd and 22, ouch

[Kevin]

big catch! first down!!!

[stpaulbison]

I love penalties...I seem to remember saying this was something we need to fix after last weeks game. GO BELQUIST!! That's my hometown boy from NR!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

What a play. Nice 3rd and 22 pick up. Their "D" is not so great.

[bisonaudit]

Looks like one went our way on that 1st down.

[NDSUstudent]

Nice run by Roehl.

[Kevin]

*another* false start.

[Kevin]

Shit, I wish I was at Chubs.

[NDSUstudent]

Nice run by Paschal, hopefully a sign of things to come!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Paschall to the Chips 7.

[Kevin]

We can't afford to be dropping Touchdown passes against a FBS team.

[stpaulbison]

I may be a New Rockford homer, but belquist doesn't drop passes.

[bisonaudit]

Come on guys lets punch it in here.

[Kevin]

A nice long drive, but we need to start scoring more than 3. Let's hope our D stays tough.

[scottheck]

Hurts to only get 3 out of that.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

A stop right here would be huge.

[AKBison]

Keep our D on the Bench. Great job guys. CMU is a second half team we will need everything we got for that last run. Time for a 3 and out!

[Kevin]

Good God, not again.

[scottheck]

What the hell!?!?!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

What is with the out of bounds kicks? I know it is windy, but is it really that windy?

[Kevin]

One thing I've noticed is the CMU fans don't seem very loud at all.

[Kevin]

Big, big stand by the Bison Defense.

[stpaulbison]

nice stop. too bad the flag came cuz now they get there 3rd down back

[Kevin]

Dallas and Mays share a sack on 3rd and 13! 4th down CMU

[CarringtonBison]

big sack!!!!

D is playing pretty good. Need to get some points now to get some breathing room.

[NDSUstudent]

Nice pressure!! Big Sack!!

[No_Skill]

Lovin' this! Great Job D!!!!

[Kevin]

A TD before half time would be huge.

[CarringtonBison]

Huge play!!
Fumbled? Bad fake punts call?

Now we need to convert!

[NDSUstudent]

Bad snap!!

[Kevin]

HAHAHAHA

big mistake for CMU! Bison recover the fumble on the the fake punk DEEP in CMU territory!!

[scottheck]

WOW What a break! Let's use it!!!!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Muffed snap, NDSU covers it on CMU's 27. Plus their punter injured.

[No_Skill]

They MUST convert!

[Kevin]

I can't help but wonder if that guy who started the post "This game is in the bag " on the CMU forum is starting to taste crow.

There's your hometown boy again with a big catch to the 10! Lets get our Roehl on!

[No_Skill]

Confidence has to be high on both sides of the ball right now!

[stpaulbison]

that's what i'm talking about. as soon as sign up on gobison, belquist has career numbers. love it.

[Kevin]

3rd and goal. Exactly what we did not need.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Give it to Roehl on first, second, third, fourth down when inside the 10.

[Kevin]

CMU holds, again. 4th and goal from the 7.

[No_Skill]

Give them credit for tightening up the D in the red zone.

[Kevin]

Oh... no.

Field goal is no good. This could be bad for momentum.

[CarringtonBison]

red zone offense is so far pretty poor. Not much movement at all. We need to convert some of these FG to TD if we are to beat a FBS team.

Also, cannot miss the FG if we are to win

[bisonaudit]

Give it to Roehl on first, second, third, fourth down when inside the 10.

RAmen! RAmen!

[scottheck]

THat really hurts. SHort field and get nothing out of it.

[Kevin]

Alright, Defense. Time to show them up again.

[AKBison]

Huge series coming up, huge. We have got to hold them and get momentum back.

[Kevin]

That hold is a good start for us.

[02Bison]

Seems as though the Bison are afraid of trying to run the ball the last couple of weeks. They need to get back to not being afraid to run the ball and they need to do more than run it up the gut when they do run.

[Kevin]

I'm not sure if it's so much that as it is the offense trying to capitalize on the beat up CMU secondary.

I do agree that they should be running inside the 10 though.

[NDSUstudent]

Man, the defense is playing great,

[stpaulbison]

Hey cmu announcers, what goes around comes around!

[Kevin]

Defense holds again, big return by Shamen to the 18!!

No reason not to score here, none!

Mo' is back on our side

[NDSUstudent]

Shamen!!!!!

[bisonaudit]

Alright D.

Looks like another punt from the shadown of their endzone!

[No_Skill]

Great return Shamen!!!!!


MUST...GET....TD!!!!!!!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Joe Mays has just flat out run through about 3-4 blocks so far. No shedding, no running around people, just powering through. Nice return by Shamen, let's punch it itn.

[AKBison]

Stick this motha in the end zone.

[Kevin]

Wurz down to the 8!

[CarringtonBison]

We Need A Td Now!!!!!

[stpaulbison]

what is this crap with their defensive guys jumping on our players after they are down, it's frickin bogus

[Kevin]

Second and goal. Let's not have a repeat of the last few drives. Punch it in!

[bisonaudit]

This a gut check time for the O-line now. We need 6!

[Kevin]

Touchdown Wurz!!!

[No_Skill]

Td Wurz!!!!!

[CarringtonBison]

Td!!!

That Is Big

[NDSUstudent]

Touchdown BISON!!!! Walker to WURZ!

[stpaulbison]

fargo south baby!!!! for 6

[jeffdaryl3rd]

TD Wurzbacher. 13-0 NDSU.

[AKBison]

Yes! Td Baby

[Kevin]

Bison looking good so far. Let's hope the Defense stays this aggressive.

[stpaulbison]

Wurz is the man. When he and belquist redshirted they got to sit in the stands for the first couple games and i sat with alex. we scored a td and wurz might have been a little lit cuz we went to high five and he missed my hand and slapped my face. it was hilarious.....and it kind of hurt.

[Kevin]

Defense has to hold them here. We can't afford to give up any points before half.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

The CMU announcers are saying that the longer NDSU has the lead the more confident we will get, as though the fact that we are ahead is a total fluke.

[Kevin]

These refs are terrible.

[bisonpride4ever]

lets go D!!!!

[Kevin]

Touchdown CMU.

Alright, plenty of time left. Let's get 7 more and get the ball back at the start of the second half.

[bisonaudit]

Our sideline reporter seems to think they got the call correct.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

No way was he in. Down a couple yards short and then reached it over. We need replay.

[Kevin]

Over a minute, with 2 time outs left. Do the bison go for gold or do they run out the clock and take the lead to the locker room?

[bisonpride4ever]

8 penalties so far for the Bison

[westriver bison]

Shamen time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stpaulbison]

No turnovers bison!!!

[bisonpride4ever]

Some Steve Walker Magic?

[Kevin]

Belquist, again.

[bisonaudit]

Getting a little crowd noise now judging from the radio broadcast.

[stpaulbison]

good job roehl! punish the tackler.

[stpaulbison]

what!! that is so gay, excuse me if there are any homos on this board.

[AKBison]

WTF? A little home cooking going on.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

How bullshit is the fact that they are now reviewing a play after we already ran a play? These refs are homers and terrible.

[bisonpride4ever]

what the hell?

[stpaulbison]

good deal, we got it back!

[CarringtonBison]

wtf is going on??

stupid refs-sounds like a cluster____.

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Well, they ended up getting it right.

[bisonpride4ever]

the anouncers have no idea anybody else?

[bisonaudit]

What the hell? Someone's going to have to explain that one.

[stpaulbison]

let's hear it for our o-line. giving walker so much time. that's awesome!!

[bisonpride4ever]

i think i just heard on the PA..."your refs tonight...The Keystone Kops!"

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Shot to the endzone then FG.

[stpaulbison]

so what's gonna happen!? i say go for it!

[NDSUstudent]

Kick the FG and take the points

[Kevin]

Bison are on a roll. I say go for it.

[bisonaudit]

Take the points. We get the ball to start the 3rd as well.

[bisonpride4ever]

let the "rifleman" Steve Walker take over!!!

[stpaulbison]

hey carrington bison, i'm from new rockford. go harrington!

[CarringtonBison]

kick it and take the points. put us up by 9 points (> 1 td) and we get the ball first

[NDSUstudent]

kick is good, 16-7 Bison at the half.

[CarringtonBison]

hey carrington bison, i'm from new rockford. go harrington!

Go zach. I also know the belquists well!! great to see all the hometown/area support for the bison

[Kevin]

16-7 and the Bison offense will start out the second half. So far so good. The score could be much higher but I think this is better than most (especially the idiots on the CMU forum) expected from us.

[AKBison]

FG Good. Gonna have to turn those field goals into TD's in the next half in order to win.

[bisonpride4ever]

should be 19-7 if not 26-7 if we had scored a TD on that missed FG short field we had. lets do it in the second half our D has been pretty solid playing well

[No_Skill]

This coaching staff is excellent at making half-time adjustments. I think we have got a good shot to punch a few in.

[onbison09]

Very good half by the Herd. D looks great. Walker's solid as always. Gonna have to keep this up.

[onbison09]

Shawn needs to be better he had a rough half.

[bisonaudit]

Could be 20-7 (dropped pass in endzone) but the missed field goal turned into 7 on the next possession, yes?

[motty]

Not a bad first half, hate that we seem to have so much trouble scoring redzone TD's against the FBS teams. Just when I started to get a little confidence back in Bibeau he goes and totally ruins it again. I seriously doubt if I will ever be comfortable with him kicking the ball.

[onbison09]

App. State is tied vs. Wolford. That would be a shocker.

[stpaulbison]

Could be 20-7 (dropped pass in endzone) but the missed field goal turned into 7 on the next possession, yes?

IT WASN'T DROPPED! Bad throw in my opinion, but like I said, I'm a homer.

[bisonpride4ever]

230-130 in total yards in the first half

[Swany]

Maybe its been said, but here is the biggest stat of the half: TIME OF POSSESSION. That was the gameplan, move the ball, chew up the clock and play ball control. So far so good.

Here's what excites me and you saw it on the last drive. Steve picked there defense apart in the first half. On last drive that's why all that underneath stuff was open, CM is starting to drop their LBers into coverage. Second half the run should be open if Steve keeps it up and that could mean big day for Roehl and the running backs in second half. Watch for it.

It's looking good friends, it's looking good. This first drive out of the half is big though. We put up points ... good be a long second half for CM.

GO BISON!!!!

[Kevin]

I'm not willing to say this is "in the bag" as the Chip fans like to say (before kickoff even) but I'm feeling pretty good about this one. Bohl and crew are notorious for making great half time adjustments. CMU is in for a long second half.

[No_Skill]

If we get a long drive and TD at the start of the half it could break them.

[coloradobison]

We need to continue to move the ball and chew up clock in the second half. lefevbre killed us on the ground and we need to keep the ball out of his hands, but the D has played great, hopefully their defense is getting tired and we can run the ball even more effectively.

[onbison09]

We can't have any stupid ass penalties either.

[NDSUstudent]

We need to keep the agressive defensive play up, D is looking really solid.

[bisonaudit]

George Perless says pound it inside the 10! :) He's giving his son the business on the radio half-time show.

[onbison09]

We threw 7 passes in the Rose Bowl. 4 too many. LOL. Can you say old school?

[coloradobison]

i agree, i'm afraid the fg's instead of td's inside the 10 are going to haunt us, i was calling to pound the ball as well, instead of running bubble screens from the 7.

[bisonpride4ever]

tough love baby tough love!!

[Kevin]

George Perless says pound it inside the 10! :) He's giving his son the business on the radio half-time show.

I like what he said about the Rose Bowl. "We threw the ball 7 times, that was 4 too many"

[onbison09]

Quit steeling my thundar. LOL JK.

[Kevin]

We threw 7 passes in the Rose Bowl. 4 too many. LOL. Can you say old school?

Missed your post when I made the last one. I loved that comment though.

[bisonpride4ever]

we need to keep getting three and outs those are crippling to a team. sidenote, anybody know what our road record has been lately we seem to play with alot of steel in our veins when we play on the road which is awesome!

[Kevin]

Steve Walker 2 carries for 5 yards.

That's two too many!

[Kevin]

Bohl says adjustments have been made towards the power running game.

[bisonaudit]

Time of Possession 19 to 11.

That's huge and should help us in the 2nd half especially in the face of the scholarship difference.

[Swany]

Those 3-and-outs are huge on D. Hopefully we can keep them in 2nd and long, and 3rd and long. That has been huge. When they have 2nd and long I don't think they've made a 1st down. Good pressure from D-line, linebackers playing well. Secondary not too bad. GO BISON!!!! Let's go get it!!!

[bisonpride4ever]

the weakness i see are converting TD in the redzone and 8 freaking penalties do we even have any feet left to shoot ourselves in?

[Kevin]

Now that's how you start out a half. Way to go Shamen

[NDSUstudent]

The March is on!!!!

[stpaulbison]

Now that's what I'm talking about!!

[bisonpride4ever]

Amazin' Shamen!!!

[No_Skill]

Huh...wierd I though I remember a poster on their board saying something about having the advantage on special teams.

[Kevin]

I was just thinking about that during the kickoff.

Crow, it's what's for dinner.

[bisonaudit]

Phil Hansen reminds the radio listeners that CMU played Purdue even the 2nd half last week so they're not going away.

Let's turn that return into something. Go Bison!

[bisonpride4ever]

Bison just dominating the field position!

[No_Skill]

Punch It In!!!!!

[Kevin]

Get your Roehl on!

[bisonpride4ever]

wow they are on a mission

[NDSUstudent]

Lets pound it in!!!

[bisonpride4ever]

nice to see the Bison not f@king around!!!

[Kevin]

3rd and goal from the half yard line. We need this.

[bisonaudit]

Smash mouth football!

[No_Skill]

Td !!!!!! Yes!!!!

[Kevin]

TD Paschall!! 22-7

[bisonpride4ever]

God we need this TD!!

[NDSUstudent]

TD Bison!!! We finally pound one in.

[coloradobison]

IMPRESSIVE!!!

helluva kick return and great drive BISON!! GO HERD!!

[bisonpride4ever]

wow i'm late my feed must be behind TD BISON!!!!

[No_Skill]

Momentum is entirely ours. D has to be fired up! Send the message!

[scottheck]

Bohl says adjustments have been made towards the power running game.

No question they figured it out. THis coaching staff is the best I've seen at making 1/2 time adjustments.

[motty]

Now thats Bison Football right there. Good to hear Paschall get his first TD!!

Even on the radio the silence is deafening.

[AKBison]

Yes, that was huge. Anyone else notice that our wide reciever that was lined up to the far right was left open on both of the last plays? Look for a play action on the next 3rd and short. Smashmouth Football. Gotta love it.

Lets go D#!

[Swany]

Heck Yes!!! That is going to be open all day, pick your poison CM. Stuff the run, Walker will pick you apart. Drop your backers its the pound it out show!!!! GO BISON!!!!

[onbison09]

Bibeau sucks!!!

[Kevin]

Students are already starting to leave.

[No_Skill]

Fumble Bison Ball!!!!1

[bisonaudit]

Don't think that one is on the kicker. We lost contain on the edge.

[stpaulbison]

fumbleroooski!!!

[Kevin]

Marsesh with the fumble recovery!!!! Take it home!

[motty]

YES!!! Recovery lets put these boys away!!!

[NDSUstudent]

Huge fumble!!

[bisonpride4ever]

cough cough!!

[AKBison]

That is in fact what the DR. ordered!

[bisonpride4ever]

field position baby field position!!

[jeffdaryl3rd]

Lets chew up the clock and punch it into the endzone then cruise home.

[Kevin]

Chips are simply being out played on all ends of the ball.

[scottheck]

Roehl on the end around?

[Kevin]

More comments about the CMU fans leaving.
