Austin Peay Game Thread.......

[WYOBISONMAN]

OK folks......here we go......first game thread of the season. I see the Bison winning by over 40. Kickoff is just a little over 2 hours away.

I think the defense will dominate, I agree with your prediction.

[BisonBabe]

Heading out to the FargoDome in a few minutes. I will be standing up for the game but most likely silently cheering on the boys.

[Bison101]

The anticipation continues to grow from November..... it is about to burst. It is about to burst to the tune of "Thunderstruck".

I am having trouble logging into All Access. Anyone else having problems?

At least not yet. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on my desk.

Thanks!!! ++++ At least we can listen to it. Looks like we will be too. :( Why can't Jump TV get it's sh!+ together???!!?!?!?!?!?!? Live event page is up. Says video will start at 6:40.

[THEsocalledfan]

I am a bonehead with all access as I haven't had it since the first year which I thought was crap. When does it start broadcasting? Can you hear pregame on it? If so, I am not getting it. (I am getting the free feed above.)

[pwbnd]

Looks like the video feed is supposed to start at 6:40...in about 4 minutes.

I hope.

[AKBison]

Damn, I can't get into gobison. SOB!

[pwbnd]

The audio feed (pregame show) is streaming right now.

So far so good.

[bisonaudit]

Is to possible that for the umtienth year running they've underestimated online demand for their product and failed to procure adequate bandwith for their fans?

I don't remember, during either the free or pay per view era, that thing ever working correctly on week 1.

[pwbnd]

The link to what "should" be the video feed is now active, but all I get is audio...no video yet.

[pwbnd]

Check that....got video and audio....looks like this might just work.

Me neither. :banghead: :banghead: There's a new media player that looks nice but it doesn't work worth a sh!+ This should be free if it doesn't work.

[THEsocalledfan]

anyone have vidoe yet? I only have audio.

[pwbnd]

I had video for a second....looked like some pregame video featuring Thundar, but as fast as it came, it went away. Back to only audio again.

[onbison09]

anyone have vidoe yet? I only have audio.
Ditto :banghead:

[pwbnd]

Video back on again. GSB is on the field.

[onbison09]

Anyone else's pop up blocker not working? (just wondering if it's from gobison)

[onbison09]

Video back on again. GSB is on the field.
How did you get it to work?

[Bison06]

In years past I have listened to the radio feed over the internet, but can't remember at which site. Does anyone know where I can pick that up?

Thanks in advance

KQLX.com has it

[pwbnd]

I didn't do a thing....it's like they had the camera shut off and all of a sudden it's on.

The band by the way LOOKS a lot more impressive this year. Much bigger that previous recent editions.

[Bison06]

Thanks guys

[THEsocalledfan]

I still don't have video. Just a screen saver. What the hell?

[onbison09]

What premium do you click on? There's 3. Missed the damn tunnel walk!!!!

[pwbnd]

I clicked on the top "premium" link.

It seems working just fine....just got to watch the entrance....very cool.

[tcbison]

I got mine to work on one laptop but not the other. Craig Bohl has a nice yellow shirt on. Looks nice.

[THEsocalledfan]

I see 4, and only the first one even gives me video. What the hell!

[onbison09]

Anybody from gobison reading this (and I know you do) you should be ashamed.

[THEsocalledfan]

I got it. about darn time.

[onbison09]

I clicked on the top "premium" link.

It seems working just fine....just got to watch the entrance....very cool.
The one under the 6:25 one?

[onbison09]

How was the intro video?

Are you on Firefox or Explorer and areyou on a labtop?

[Bison06]

Not a good start

[onbison09]

Can someone tell which link to click on?

[bisonaudit]

Special teams! :(

[tcbison]

Big return by Austin Peay but Bison get a sack on D.

[bisonpride4ever]

shitty kick coverage, but sack on first play from scrimmage

[Bison06]

Good stop D

[bisonpride4ever]

fuck yeah good D on opening series

[tcbison]

4th down!!!

[onbison09]

Which Premium Link To Click On?

[bisonpride4ever]

Austin Peay, meet Tyler Roehl

[onbison09]

Tyler with a big run.

[onbison09]

Bison to the 8 Jerimiah Wurzbacher!!! Damn this would be great to see!!!

[bisonpride4ever]

wow what a catch

[tcbison]

Which Premium Link To Click On?

I clicked on the 2nd link from the top. Huge pass play to Wurz. Great first pass from Mertens!

[pwbnd]

Internet Explorer and just using my desktop machine and HDTV.

[bisonaudit]

Does Bohl work off a script for the first x plays?

[bisonpride4ever]

punch it in bison

[bisonpride4ever]

shit that sucked

[tcbison]

Does Bohl work off a script for the first x plays?

He said they do but wouldn't say how many plays.

[onbison09]

I clicked on the 2nd link from the top. Huge pass play to Wurz. Great first pass from Mertens!
Maybe it's my computer? :confused: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[THEsocalledfan]

Man, that field goal was close.

[bisonpride4ever]

3-0 wish we could've scored the TD but after that fumble and how that could've turned out, i'll take any points on that drive

[bisonpride4ever]

Man, that field goal was close.

yeah man, i initially thought it was no good when i saw it

[pwbnd]

Maybe it's my computer? :confused: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That sucks....seems to be working just like it's suppose to on my end.

Really like having the radio broadcast sync'd up with the video too.

[bisonpride4ever]

damn we seem to have 40 guys at the ball to make the tackle every play. obviously that would be a penalty but you know what i mean

[onbison09]

That sucks....seems to be working just like it's suppose to on my end.

Really like having the radio broadcast sync'd up with the video too.
It says error on page that's probably why. Any techies know what the problem might be?

[tcbison]

Looks like Matt Kittelson is getting to play at LB. My wife works with his cousin Wade Kittelson(former Bison LB) here in the Twin Cities.

[bisonaudit]

Well they're getting the better of us on specials so far but we seem pretty powerful in the trenches.

[THEsocalledfan]

Hell of a punt.

[bisonaudit]

60+ net, yes.

[bisonpride4ever]

damn way to stay in the pocket mertens good pass and catch

[tcbison]

Nice catch again by Wurz for a first down but Mertens got hit on the blitz. We need to keep the defenders off of Mertens.

[bisonpride4ever]

damn that was close to being a trap

[westriver bison]

gobison is absolute crap.:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[onbison09]

Don't have the correct version of Windows Media Player :( You need the newest version if you are having trouble that might be why. Download here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx. Would've been nice to know.

[tcbison]

TD Bison! Pass to Kole Heck! Nice fade route.

[Bison06]

Big touchdown for the Bison, Mertens to Heck on the fade

[bisonpride4ever]

TD BISON!!!!!!!! wow great catch. yet another 3rd down conversion

[bisonpride4ever]

nick is absolutely in rhythm great reads and the guys are catching everything

[tcbison]

Mertens is doing everything right so far. 6 for 7, 131 yards and a TD.

[Bisonips]

Nice throw and catch. Twice now that our special teams had poor coverage...

[Bison06]

They will work out the Special teams but that concerns me too

[bisonpride4ever]

Sack!!!!!!!!!

[bisonpride4ever]

dang either that snap was way over his head or there was no rush he had alot of time to get that off.

[Bison06]

Mertens is looking good

[bisonpride4ever]

another 3rd down conversion

[AKBison]

I am seriously pissed at gobison. it keeps cutting out. SOB!

[Bisonips]

That was a nice 3rd down coversion. Kole ran a great route right to the sticks and Mertens delivered with perfect timing.

[westriver bison]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[THEsocalledfan]

1st quarter analysis:

Offense: Running game still needs to get going (Roehl doing okay); passing is steller

Defense: awesome

Special teams: Kick coverage is crap

[Bisonips]

I am seriously pissed at gobison. it keeps cutting out. SOB!

Seems to happen every game...i thought maybe that was why there was 4 different premium links...maybe try a different link?

[THEsocalledfan]

Walker, who?

[bisonpride4ever]

wow TD BISON!!!!!!!! can we just have it 3rd down and whatever for the rest of the game that was way too easy!!

[tcbison]

43 yard TD pass to Kole Heck.

[bisonaudit]

Let's not get too carried away. These guys are one step up from non-scholarship.

[Bisonips]

I want Heckendorf on my fantasy football team...I'm happy that Mertens is having success...tough to tell how the secondary is from the tiny view that we get, but he definately needs a successful game today for confidence

[Bisonips]

hmm...probably not the first carry that DJ wanted to initiate his Bison career...

[bisonpride4ever]

yeah he got rocked

[bisonpride4ever]

wow belquist broke about 400 arm tackles there

[tcbison]

Huge punt return by Belquist to the 34 yard line.

[bisonpride4ever]

AP just shot an instructional video on how not to tackle a guy on that punt return.

[bisonpride4ever]

we convert on 4th down as well

[Bisonips]

Our running game really hasn't been as dominant as it needs to be...the line of scrimmage has not been opened up at all...

[bisonpride4ever]

kole has been cash money tonight

[Bisonips]

Our running game really hasn't been as dominant as it needs to be...the line of scrimmage has not been opened up at all...

...but Mertens seems to be more than making up for it

[bisonpride4ever]

well there's a couple factors, AP has been putting what seems like 10 guys in the box. plus a couple of times pat has stumbled. eventually its gonna open up

[GOB1SON]

What's going on with the O-Line? AP is getting way too much penetration.

[tcbison]

Austin Peay has been selling out on the run. We might need to pass more to open up the run. The OL has done a good job giving Mertens time to throw.

[bisonpride4ever]

honestly i just don't know how Austin Peay is gonna score. obviously against reserves but as far as the starters go i don't see how they will score

[GOB1SON]

Is there a running box score of the game somewhere?

[GOB1SON]

Yeah D looks really, really good.

[tcbison]

Is there a running box score of the game somewhere?

You can go to gobison.com and click on live stats.

[bisonpride4ever]

gobison i think has running stats. 20-rip NDSU at the half

[Bison101]

You can go to gobison.com and click on live stats.


Or you can just watch it on the media player.

[THEsocalledfan]

So why did AP give up before the half? That did not appear to be much of winning attitude. They will never be good if they keep that up.

[bisonpride4ever]

no shit how many times have we scored on a last second play before half to give us momentum for the second half. you gotta at least try for something

[Bisonips]

Is there a running box score of the game somewhere?

http://www.areavoices.com/bisonmedia/ - Kolpack runs a live blog here - worth checking out.

[GOB1SON]

Mertens QB rating is 158.3 in the first half. Not bad. I didn't expect that.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Hey folks......got my other laptop out so I can watch and type at the same time!!

Some first half thoughts.....AP has really done a lot better than expected shutting down the run......I think we are missing Mr. Safe on the O Line. Also....why not pass more to open up that run? I think we need that ball in the air more. Clearly if we try and run like this against WYO, we will be in trouble. Also....special teams coverage was terrible....it darn well better improve.

All in all.....we are up by 20, but not outstanding play by the Bison.

[MN_BISON]

ISU is up on the Jacks 20-0 with about 4 minutes to play in the second quarter. It's on Direct TV, channel 617.

[Bison101]

I can tell you that I feel more confident now than I did last year versus Stephen F. Austin. I don't know..... perhaps last year's running game relied on Nate opening up holes.

Anyways, I look forward to some big plays second half.

[MN_BISON]

Who is the sideline report for the TV feed? Wow!:nod:

[pwbnd]

wow, hottie announcer girl at the dome

[WYOBISONMAN]

wow, hottie announcer girl at the dome

I am in lust with her....

[pwbnd]

I am in lust with her....

i'm buying whatever she's selling.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Wow ...... that opened it up......I am now done whining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tcbison]

Long TD pass to Heck again. Play action pass worked to perfection.

[onbison09]

Anyone still having trouble watching the game?

[MN_BISON]

No, but I want more shots of the girl in yellow with the mic.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Yes.............that is the kind of football I love!

[MOTBison]

WOW! Way to run after the catch. :D

[AKBison]

good here, hopefully the kinks got worked out.

[onbison09]

I'm so pissed I could shit right now.

[westriver bison]

Anyone still having trouble watching the game?

yes cutting iout and stalling

[bisonranch]

Wow, 297 yards for Mertens already. If this wasn't game 1 I'd say time for the backup.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Big D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onbison09]

yes cutting iout and stalling
Nope doesn't even work and I downloaded new version of Windows Media Player. :ranting: Any tips would be appreciated.
The sample video doesn't work so it's probably my piece of shit computer.

[GOB1SON]

Maybe some tackling drills next week?

[WYOBISONMAN]

Yikes...........nasty penalty......

[GOB1SON]

Matt Kittleson is playing very well. Couple of big tackles for losses and always around the ball.

[jdoif0304]

hey congrats on the game. good job NDSU. only thing is roehl, i think he should have had more yrds than he did, but its just the first game of the season.

[WYOBISONMAN]

Stop Them!

[GOB1SON]

Matt Kittleson is playing very well. Couple of big tackles for losses and always around the ball.

Of course I cursed him. He missed the tackle on fourth down!

[WYOBISONMAN]

Darn....let them in for a TD:banghead:

[WYOBISONMAN]

Geez.....now a hold back at the 30 on us on the return.....

[onbison09]

Anyone else getting a ton of popups? (it's just not my night I guess)

[onbison09]

Jacks down 20-0 at half. Looked like a lot of picks but in good news it is on FCS Central so maybe the UNI game will be on DirecTV.

[WYOBISONMAN]

My feed is working great......a few bumps in the first half, but now all is good!!

[GOB1SON]

UND is up 17-7 on TAMU-Kingsville at the half.

[tcbison]

Anyone else getting a ton of popups? (it's just not my night I guess)

Nope. I feel for you man but it has been working perfectly for me.

[GOB1SON]

My feed is working great......a few bumps in the first half, but now all is good!!


Mine too. I am on a SLOW feed in Florida and it has been really good. Knock on wood.

[GOB1SON]

Now we are starting to run the ball!!!!!!

[tcbison]

Now NDSU is running the ball well.

[tcbison]

TD Roehl!!!!

[WYOBISONMAN]

Great TD for Roehl!

[bri-dog]

Nice drive -- huge chunks of yardage! What'd they get -- first downs on four consecutive plays? Nice...

[GOB1SON]

About time we tackled that little shit.

[Bison4Life]

34 to 6 now

[WYOBISONMAN]

I wanna beat these guys by more than 40!

[WYOBISONMAN]

Why the hell is our kicker having to tackle so much.....special teams need a LOT of work.....not happy with that at all.

[GOB1SON]

Gotta love Bibeau though. FEISTY.

[Bisonips]

Why the hell is our kicker having to tackle so much.....special teams need a LOT of work.....not happy with that at all.

Nice to see that our kicker has a little bit of fire in him though...he hung on and made a strong tackle while getting his facemask nearly stiff-armed off.

[GOB1SON]

Here comes Troy Jackson.

[GOB1SON]

Think he will be handing off a lot?

T-Vac's blog describes an ugly game for both teams.

[tcbison]

I like the way Matt Voitlander runs. Is it just me or does he look a lot like Kyle Steffes? Wearing the same number helps but he runs and looks like him.

[Bisonips]

Did the video feed cut out before the game was officially over? That would have been a disaster had it been a close game with that final play determining the game. I remember game slots being on time-limits before - is this what happened?

[WYOBISONMAN]

Yes it did....not a smart move....we need to see the end of the games.

[Bison101]

This was a good game, because we saw who will be dominant this year, and in the years to come.

Cyrus Lemon- Great Coverage and Int.-Return for a TD

McNorton and Voigtlander- Looked Promising in 4th Quarter

Heckendorf- Continued to be Incredible

Mertens- Lakes is right- this kid will be a stud

Defense- All That I could Hope For


This is definitely a great year. Hopefully a trip to Chatanooga can come out of it!

[tcbison]

Yes it did, that will need to be fixed especially if there is an overtime game.

[MN_BISON]

Considering they call it "premium" you'd think that they would stream the post game show as well. When the game is finished, I don't care if they cut off the video, not too excited to watch an empty dome, but I'd like to listen to the post game.

You can. Just switch over to the pure audio feed(the one not labeled premium). It's still running right now.

[NDSU1980]

I just checked SS to see how the trucks are doing. They are winning, but started out poorly. What is funny is their game thread. We have 18 PAGES of posts, they have 18 POSTS TOTAL. Seriously. Don't seem too interested in their first D1 game. Good thing they still have hockey.

[MNLonghorn10]

Just got back from the dome 20 min ago.


I thought I'd see less blue seats then that. but whatever, sweet W...the defense dominated and Mertens tore them up

[heckler]

Students showed up... got some false starts!

[AEBison1998]

I was interested in who would play as backup's on defense. It looks like the coaches have a lot of confidence in Garret Johnson, Coulter, Boyer, Matt Kittelson, Matt Anderson (he started this game), Yuen, several corners (bowman, mitchell, colvin). There were others that played almost right away in the fourth quarter. I like the depth at all those positions.

But one thing that bothered me as far as depth is concerned....I didn't see a different safety for even one play until about 5 minutes left in the game. That is when Bigley and Purcell came in. I know the saftey is just that...the last line of defense, but this tells me that the coaches think these young players have some more learning to do before they feel comfortable with them. We are very young at safety. One more injury there and someone will have to grow up fast.

[walknroehl]

No, but I want more shots of the girl in yellow with the mic.

I believe that is Ryan Kelly from the mojo morning show and also someone was saying its Bohl's Kool-Aid.

[met1990]

Special teams: Kick coverage is crap

It almost looked like Glenn Caruso was coaching the kickoff coverage team.

[d3boys]

I believe that is Ryan Kelly from the mojo morning show and also someone was saying its Bohl's Kool-Aid.

I love the mojo

[lakesbison]

LOL koolaid..
