[CaBisonFan]

Is anyone else starting to sweat through their shirt?

[VegasBison]

Yes but it's probably because I'm sitting in the waiting room at the Dr.'s office with a ton of sick people.

[CaBisonFan]

You better get home!

[VegasBison]

From the looks of things it'll be close. Was going to meet up with Lakes at Mandalay but driving down there will cut into the game. Can't afford that. :smh:

[CaBisonFan]

Announcers say we're healthier than we've been all year.,..and that we have a chance for a bid if we win tonight.

[Kevin]

Howdy boys. I'm in for this one. My Father is sick so we're watching from home instead of section 32. Kind of a downer but I'm looking forward to watching the game you guys none the less.

Predictions? I'm saying 28-24 Bison. Big day for Roehl.

[IzzyFlexion]

TV feed is scheduled to be up at 5:40 Central but I don't see it yet?? Please tell me I'm not the only one??

[56BISON73]

Anyone having problems with the video????

[IzzyFlexion]

Anyone having problems with the video????

my screen/feed is stuck in the "buffering" mode!!!!

[Bisonips]

Anyone having problems with the video????

Yeah, isn't loading yet...will the start time be pushed back because it's senior night?

[56BISON73]

Mine isnt even loading

[scottheck]

I've got nothing also...

[Da_Bison]

mine either

[Da_Bison]

mine's up now

[VegasBison]

Anyone having problems with the video????

I just got home and was cursing at my computer. Here I thought it was my day getting worse. :smh:

[scottheck]

...up but no audio with it.

[56BISON73]

Now have the video but no audio

[tony]

Just loaded - about crapped my pants when it came on because it was the stadium announcer saying, "Please welcome your North Dakota National Guard" but it was at a volume that nearly blew out my speakers.

[Kevin]

And we're live...

[56BISON73]

All is working so far

[IzzyFlexion]

With all due respect to the seniors....I wish they could find a way to not interrupt the crowd noise and momentum to do the ceremony. The same thing happened last year and it really took the energy out of the crowd.

[56BISON73]

You gotta be kidding me:confused:
PL

[IzzyFlexion]

place looks packed??

[IzzyFlexion]

You gotta be kidding me:confused:
PL

Dont frickin' misunderstand me!!!!!!!!!
I'm just saying that the huge eruption of noise goes from 100 to zero and it takes awhile to ramp back up!

[CaBisonFan]

I've got it now. You got it? The house is rockin.

[CaBisonFan]

Watch an SEC game. The place erupts for about 4 hours, without a break. They cheer timeouts.

Come on guys....no BS today. Let's just enjoy the game.

[scottheck]

I've got 2 player windows open with radio broadcast in one and video at very low volume. You get the stadium noise and announcements along with the radio broadcast. Too bad it took all season to do it this way.,...

[Bisonips]

are we going to get the wday crew with the video??

[56BISON73]

Come on guys....no BS today. Let's just enjoy the game.

So what???? The action is on the field not the stands. PL

[VegasBison]

I've got 2 player windows open with radio broadcast in one and video at very low volume. You get the stadium noise and announcements along with the radio broadcast. Too bad it took all season to do it this way.,...

Same here. I actually prefer the dome noise than the radio feed.

[scottheck]

They're even both synced up...

[VegasBison]

That's not the start we were looking for. :ranting:

[Kevin]

Well that's one way to start things off.

[Kevin]

This is why I was hoping we could get the ball to start the game and set the tempo. Instead of running backwards.

[CaBisonFan]

no play by play

[56BISON73]

This is amazing. Have they had one broadcast that wasnt screwed up????

[scottheck]

Everything's working for me.

[CaBisonFan]

Liked that hit

[CaBisonFan]

The defense is Hitting

[CaBisonFan]

Ramooooooooooooooooooooooooooone

[VegasBison]

We need to keep the pressure on Berry. He'll pick us apart if he's allowed to sit in the pocket. Big 3rd down.

[CaBisonFan]

Watch the damn fake!!!!!!!1111111

[VegasBison]

Anyway we can fly in Poly's kicker for the Bunnies today?

[CaBisonFan]

Crowd noise 'does' matter.

[56BISON73]

Anyway we can fly in Poly's kicker for the Bunnies today?

Major fail

[scottheck]

Good hold to give up only 3.

[56BISON73]

Still no audio

[Kevin]

Let's go Roehl

[VegasBison]

Still no audio

Pull up the radio feed and watch it with the video.

[OrygunBison]

Still no audio

None for me either.

[Kevin]

Roehl is pumped up. A good sign.

[VegasBison]

Roehl needs to just lower his head today and run thru people.

[VegasBison]

Come out throwing? Don't see that everyday!!!

[Kevin]

I take it Vandal's suspension was lifted?

[Wally]

Offense sounds good so far!!

[IzzyFlexion]

that slant has been underutilized this year.

[CaBisonFan]

DJ ......nice run

[Kevin]

That wasn't pretty

[Kevin]

Neither was that.

[Kevin]

.....or that

[VegasBison]

Auggggh. We can't put Mertens in those 3rd and longs.

[Kevin]

.............or that

[Kevin]

Auggggh. We can't put Mertens in those 3rd and longs.

Mertens put himself in that situation by missing the wide open receiver on first down.

[VegasBison]

I'm starting to sweat. You know what they say about leopards and their spots.

[Wally]

Jesus....another missed fg by bibeau...cmon man...:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[NDSU1980]

Not a pretty pass from Mertens and a Bibeau miss on the FG. Why does this look familiar??????

[VegasBison]

Mertens put himself in that situation by missing the wide open receiver on first down.

Exactly. Run. Run. Run. Run.

[Kevin]

This just doesn't feel right. I hope they pull it together.

[IzzyFlexion]

Jesus....another missed fg by bibeau...cmon man...:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Did our Miller just say that Bibeau was "among the best in the nation"?

[Kevin]

You have to be kidding me.

[VegasBison]

That was a horrible call. He was still in bounds!!!

[coldspot]

late hit my ass.

[Wally]

Another grind it out game again....we can't make it easy on ourselves...bad call or not

[CaBisonFan]

Jesus............H

What a call

[Kevin]

That was the worst call of the year.

[CaBisonFan]

We're getting good pressure on the QB.

[Wally]

Let's go d....big 3rd down here!!

[VegasBison]

Come on D. Bail us out again.

[Kevin]

That bad call really put some fire under the asses of this D. Big stops.

[CaBisonFan]

This is a different Bison team than we've seen. Emotion

[Kevin]

Bend but don't break, I guess.

[VegasBison]

That emotion needs to carry over to the offense!!! This year, the offense has seemed uninspired.

[CaBisonFan]

Another grind it out game again....we can't make it easy on ourselves...bad call or not

I'm gonna predict that we air it out over the top soon.

TD or long pass.

[Wally]

Good hold, but they are making their fgs....we need tds....cannot rely on our kicker

[Kevin]

Insert face palm image here.

[Wally]

Would love to see that happen....we'll see I guess

[VegasBison]

Nothing like digging the hole deeper.

[Wally]

I'll take any free yardage we can get!

[Kevin]

Agh.......

[coldspot]

nice attempt at a scramble mertens.

[AKBison]

MERTENS!!!!!!!!!! Make something happen!

[VegasBison]

There we go again. Run. Run. Run. I know they're trying to loosen up the box but Mertens doesn't have the touch.

[Kevin]

Mertens has to pull himself together or this is going to get ugly.

[bisonmike2]

Mertens doesn't have it today (big surprise he hasn't had it all year). We are in for a looonnng night.

[VegasBison]

Make it easy on him. Swing passes. WR screens. Something. Anything.

[Wally]

The defense needs to score tonight, maybe more the once, the way it sounds early

[Kevin]

Why is #2 out?

[VegasBison]

I think we've heard the phrase "breaks a tackle" as much as we've herd "incomplete" this year.

[Kevin]

Sad but true.

[AKBison]

Since this is a "friendly" rivalry, maybe they will loan us one of their quarterbacks.

[bisonmike2]

I think we've heard the phrase "breaks a tackle" as much as we've herd "incomplete" this year.

or that's another interception by Mertens.

[Wally]

Depressing!!

[Kevin]

They are stacking the box because they know Merten's isn't going to beat them. Which tells me we either make a change or Roehl is going to have to be superman, again.

[Kevin]

CaBison is unusually quiet. I'd like to hear his thoughts on this.

[VegasBison]

Why is #2 out?

They must be bringing in the 2nd teamers already.

[Wally]

35 yards....outstanding:mad: :mad:

[NDSU1980]

Thank God for SDSU penalties. Mertens has had exactly ONE impressive pass, that's it. SDSU seems to be containing our run now too

[Kevin]

Big third down....


Shit.

[Castor Troy]

The defense scoring? How about stopping someone! Good lord!

[coldspot]

The defense scoring? How about stopping someone! Good lord!

theyre going with the "we'll let you get down into field goal range then we'll stop you there" defense today.

[Kevin]

We can't stop anyone today from the looks of it.


....Not even their backups.

[56BISON73]

The D is looking pretty porus.

[Wally]

My god!! I can't stand this right now

[VegasBison]

theyre going with the "we'll let you get down into field goal range then we'll stop you there" defense today.

Oh yeah, that's my favorite.:mad:

[AKBison]

:paperbag:

[bisonmike2]

well guys I'm signing off of bisonville during this drubbing. my post would be worthless in a little bit anyway. all you'd start seeing is sh~t, f*ck, c*n%, anyway

[Gotta Earn It]

Whats the score?

[Castor Troy]

Hey! Nice play 54!

[coldspot]

6-0 a little into the second quarter.


can we get a turnover on this third down please?

[VegasBison]

Defense is keeping it close.

[Wally]

Yesss...damnit....why can't we make a defenseive play before giving them the entire field...

[Castor Troy]

Well now! That looks a little bit like D-E-F-E-N-S-E.

Go get'em offense!

[Wally]

Alright...what's the first play going to be after kickoff? Handoff for 2 yards is my guess

[Kevin]

Offense needs to score. Now.

[VegasBison]

This is Roehl's last game and you're only going to give it to him 3 times so far? I don't get it. :smh:

[Wally]

Option...very nice...i like that

[CaBisonFan]

Nick needs to run more.

[Wally]

Let's get a drive together now....defense needs a break...already been out there for 15 game minutes

[Castor Troy]

O-line needs to start handin' some lunch down front!

[VegasBison]

Nick needs to run more.

Welcome back.

[Kevin]

Wow. Roehl took that defender OUT at the end of that one.

[VegasBison]

That's how to deliver a blow!!!

[Wally]

Sweeeet....nice !!

[coldspot]

nice play. number 18, meet tyler roehl, now meet the turf.

[Castor Troy]

One screen pass and all is right with the world!:nod:

[VegasBison]

We should be riding Roehl's coattails ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

[Kevin]

Alright we're moving now. No stupid mistakes, please.

[tony]

Should've been a personal foul on the #18 for tackling Roehl near the sideline!

[Kevin]

Nothing against Paschall but if you're going to blast it up the middle through traffic why not use the freaking mack truck that's currently on the sidelines?

[Wally]

Please no fg attempt...we need 6!

[Kevin]

Moving DJ to the slot was a great move.

[Hansel]

nice run by DJ

[CaBisonFan]

D.....d......d.......d.........dj

[tony]

What is the deal with the officials today?

[VegasBison]

I think the officials need to reintroduce themselves to the sidelines.

[Castor Troy]

C'mon ref! Put your damn hands up! It broke the plane!

[Kevin]

Good God we needed that one. Surprise, surprise, it was all Tyler. Even DJ's run was sprung from a Roehl block.

Keep giving him the ball.

[Wally]

Yes...back in business....3 and out defense...sounds like berry may not be back in the 1st half

[coldspot]

i think we just put a little chocolate syrup on our vanilla offense.

[CaBisonFan]

These officials suck !!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

[Castor Troy]

Yup! The defense got some rest and they are ready to whoop that ass!

[VegasBison]

I say we throw Roehl on defense too.

[VegasBison]

These officials suck !!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

Yeah, I can't say I've been real impressed with the conference officials this year.

[CaBisonFan]

We're playing football !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!1

Hitting

[coldspot]

berry has a mild concussion and will be checked out at halftime.

way to get around that block compton.

[Wally]

Let's go ...sweeeet defense....pump it up!!

[CaBisonFan]

Does anyone recognize these guys?

Real emotion.

[Castor Troy]

SACK! Defense kills, baby!

[Kevin]

Alright Mertens. Please shut me and everyone else up.

[VegasBison]

Let's get this lead back before the half.

[Kevin]

The kid is impressive with his legs. I wish we would have seen more of that this year.

[coldspot]

more plays like that run by mertens. good stuff.

[CaBisonFan]

My God..................Nick is using his athleticism.

[VegasBison]

Let him run, don't let him throw.

[Castor Troy]

OOOOH! Was that Simmy?

[Wally]

Nice run....keep it up! Another 7 boys

[Kevin]

Option football?

[VegasBison]

Let me guess, we're setting ourselves up for a field goal? :smh:

[Castor Troy]

Sweet completion! Move that bee-atch down the field!

[Wally]

I am so happy they at least took a shot

[Kevin]

He moves really well. I hope he keeps doing it.

[Wally]

Nice run Nick....let's be smart with the ball now

[Kevin]

That's twice on Heck

[Hansel]

Why not run it once to get the first?

[Wally]

Cmon man...make this

[Kevin]

Shades of Cal-Poly....

[Wally]

You have got to be effen kidding me!!!!!!!Piss Poor!!!!

[VegasBison]

Anybody see the Poly FG attempt today? If not, that's what it looked like.

[Kevin]

All in all we should be glad to be as close as it is. And we get the ball to start things off.

[Castor Troy]

Yer killin' us, Beebs.

[56BISON73]

What a horse shit kick

[scottheck]

MIller did say at one point that Bibeau is one of the best. I wonder what stats are used for that?!?!

[Kevin]

I really hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

[AKBison]

No more Fieldgoal attempts for the rest of the game unless it is for the win. Our kicker is killing us...AGAIN

[Castor Troy]

What a horse shit kick

Yeah! That didn't even sound right! THUD!

[Wally]

At least the Poly kid was kicking outside in the elements....Bibeau has perfect conditions

[56BISON73]

MIller did say at one point that Bibeau is one of the best. I wonder what stats are used for that?!?!


Best in the nation I do believe he said---

[scottheck]

Best in the nation I do believe he said---

Must be a different nation without American FB!

[Gotta Earn It]

I really hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

Doesn't really matter though does it?

[scottheck]

Who's playing with the GSMB? She can sing....

[Castor Troy]

Hey now! Who's the "yeah baby" singing RESPECT with the Gold Star Marching band!

[Kevin]

Doesn't matter? Of course it matters.


Troll?

[56BISON73]

Doesn't really matter though does it?

I see the troll has made his appearence. What a dick.

[Hart]

So all the teams NDSU needed to lose lost. . . wow.

[Kevin]

Amazing isn't it?

One half to go.

[scottheck]

So all the teams NDSU needed to lose lost. . . wow.

That's what I thought I heard. So you're saying there's a chance....

[56BISON73]

Is anybody getting the play by play with the video???

[Wally]

I just have a sick feeling those missed fgs are going to cost us big time! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Hansel]

catch an f'ing kickoff

[Castor Troy]

Thanks for the squibber, rabbits!

[56BISON73]

I dont believe it

[Wally]

Nice throw and catch!

[OrygunBison]

Nick is looking pretty good. Nice and relaxed delivery.





I hope I didn't jinx him...

[56BISON73]

They are creating a tempo I hope

[Wally]

Punch it in fellas.....nice work!!

[Castor Troy]

FGs are not an option unless they find some eligibility for Ludwig Milfors!

[Kevin]

I really don't want to jinx him but damn... Mertens' looks good on this one.

[CaBisonFan]

I like the attitude of this whole game right now.

[56BISON73]

Iowa 27 MN 0

[Castor Troy]

I like the attitude of this whole game right now.

Yes! Nothin' but good feelings right now!

[Wally]

Defense needs to pick up where they left off and the end of the 1st half....Any word on Berry?

[56BISON73]

Tempo and momentum

[Kevin]

Wow........

[CaBisonFan]

Anyone know about the Jack QB....done?

[Wally]

Damn it man!!

[Kevin]

We need to answer. A touchdown here would be huge.

[Kevin]

Anyone know about the Jack QB....done?


Certainly seems that way.

[Wally]

Anyone know about the Jack QB....done?

Don't know...they don't seem to miss him anyway!

[BigDeal]

Anyone know about the Jack QB....done?

Doesnt matter. They can still score on us.

[AKBison]

Is anybody getting the play by play with the video???

I am not getting it either. It was actually cool at first when the radio only and video were synched as you could here the crowd really well. Howver, radio is ahead which makes the video useless. I have had nothing but problems with All Access all year long.

[BigDeal]

nice throw!

[Wally]

OMG....just when you think you're in the tank...nice play fellas!!

[BigDeal]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wally]

Yeah baby!!!! Let's cover a kick now special teams!

[OrygunBison]

Holy busted defense, Batman. How was he that wide open?

[CaBisonFan]

The frackin playbook is finally open.

It's Bison football.

I wanna win this bad, bad....but it's just fun to see them play like a team again...with some fire in their eyes.

[56BISON73]

I am not getting it either. It was actually cool at first when the radio only and video were synched as you could here the crowd really well. Howver, radio is ahead which makes the video useless. I have had nothing but problems with All Access all year long.

Ive had problems all year also. You would think that they could get it corrected after a couple of seasons.

[Castor Troy]

I am eating my words and washing it down with some Baileys!

:hungry: MMM-MMM GOOD!

[CaBisonFan]

Yeah baby!!!! Let's cover a kick now special teams!

Yes...do we have 'special' teams? :banghead:

[Wally]

Mertens is our offense today...did I just say that!!

[CaBisonFan]

Ive had problems all year also. You would think that they could get it corrected after a couple of seasons.


PL

What do you call the play that Mertens ran for the last touchdown?

[Wally]

Pressure this backup qb defense!!

[CaBisonFan]

Attitude:D

[Wally]

Big 3rd Down.....stop Them!!!!

[56BISON73]

PL

What do you call the play that Mertens ran for the last touchdown?

I would think that it was a play action up the middle roll out rt.

[Wally]

Yeah Baby!!!nice!!

[CaBisonFan]

Attitude

Hot damn Bison football

[Wally]

We need more, we need more scores!!:nod: :nod: :nod:

[lakesbison]

Mertens baby....holla!!!!

[Wally]

Damn...we needed that first down!

[VegasBison]

Oooh. That's gotta hurt!!!

[OrygunBison]

NICE HIT!!!

D is fired up!!!

[Castor Troy]

We're swarmin' tonight, fellas!

[Wally]

Don't let up D!! Keep pounding em!:nod:

[BigDeal]

Mertens baby....holla!!!!

Lakes is here! How's Vegas treating you?

[Kevin]

Maresh is everywhere today.

[Wally]

Way to go D!! Maresh is huge tonight!

[Wally]

Let's put a drive together guys!!

[CaBisonFan]

DJ looks like a player. Just getting his career started. Feeling his way. Figuring out how to use his ability at this level.

[lakesbison]

Big deal.....caesars...has it on........we balli'...up $350......go bison
