Win out and we are in

[mgbison]

The glass half full view is we have four games left. Three at home and 1 bye week which is huge.


We need to have Gratzek at 100%. If he is healthy, we run the table and make the playoffs. He is the difference maker. The offense is gonna score enough points the rest of the way, we just need to get some stops on d.

The Red Sox won 4 in a row back in 2004. The Bison can too :)

Play calling,.schemes and motivation and NOT SCOUTING.& EXPOSING other teams weaknesses will continue to be our downfall, fact!!

Sorry to be the negative nancy, I don't see that happening.

me too. I think it's best for the mental health of many Bisonvillers if they prepared for the fact that this isn't going happen this year. "Hey, there's always next year!"*TM

4-0 isnt that hard. I think it can, and will happen.

[No_Skill]

I have this feeling that SDSU is going to play spoiler once again.

If things play out right, that game will be huge.

There is NDSU basketball to look forward to.......heck there is even a basketball game in the dome about the same time the FCS playoff semifinals are occurring. Much to look forward to........just won't be on the football field. I might even switch to basketball season tickets for this year and skip football season tickets in the future (unless coaching changes are made). Tired of Bohl's impersonal and stubborn attitude.

Maybe you are right but it is obvious there is parity in the MVFC. Dominating this conference would be like dominating the SEC in FBS. Nobody will do it for more than a couple years at a time imho. I'll take our situation over SIU or SDSU any day. The Bison certainly can salvage this season.

[SDbison]

This Bison team will not win out the rest of this season.

Take that as seriously as my prediction of Texas not beating Nebraska this year. Yesterday was a bad day.

MNLonghorn you were correct, I was wrong. I suck, the Bison suck and so do the Cornhuskers. Serve me up crow, shit, raw bull testicles, whatever. My apologies........its Longhorns, not Gayhorns. What a comeback by Texas in a down year to beat Nebraska at their place.

I agree. We are improved, but still not a disciplined team out there. We have stupid penalties occuring at key times in the game, the players do not seem well coached, and we are not playing like a TEAM. Folks, we are midway throught the season and this stuff should be better by now.

[semobison]

In order to finish strong WE HAVE GOT TO STOP THE RUN! Our D has been getting manhandled! The big question? Is this fixable, or are we outmanned?

I thought that was a trademark for the Vikings as well, but it's, "Hey, we just need that one old guy at the end of his career to make it to the Super Bowl".

Mathematically, this is not possible. Of 72 conference games, there has to be 36 wins and 36 losses, barring ties, of course. Believe me, if anything, this conference would do it the other way and have more losses than wins!

[#1BISONFAN ASHLEY]

Get real...with Jose playing like this, and the defense giving up so many points the past 3-4 games...were gonna go 3-1 or 2-2, and miss the playoffs.

OK let's pretend that the top four actually happen. Please get out a #2 pencil and write down these words: "tie breaker". Because Western, UNI, and ISU Red all own them over NDSU.

However there's only one autobid and two teams with enough wins to get in if they are all DI wins, so likely NDSU would get in - in this scenario.

[TransAmBison]

In this scenario the Forum would send their top reporters to investigate what officials paid off to actually win. Stu Pidasol would be the main witness.

OK fine. Then, in this scenario we would need to call down to Louisiana and see if they can spare any of those animal rescue cleanup crews for a day or two. 'cause any monkeys flying out of WYO's ass are likely to need a good washing.
