[coldspot]

can't sleep because I'm so anxious for the game. I should've gone to bohlville to showcase my ncaa football skills.

[SoundsLikeSamhumann]

Good luck to all the bison faithful. Lets win!

[jimmyptubas]

It's 235 AM and i just got done working ten hrs.... now I have to attempt to sleep in order to get up at 8, get my boys to their grandma's for babysitting and pack up my gear and .....blah...is it even worth it?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS.....ALL DAY LONG!!!

been waiting for this all year! Let's whoop up on James Madison and his cronies...he'll be wishing he never framed a constitution after we're done with him.

[BisonTeacher]

3am...packing up the car. Leaving the cities at 4:30. See you soon!!!! Go Bison!!!!

[IBleedYellow]

You know you're a crazy Bison fan when you wake up 30 minutes before your alarm on BISON GAME DAY and your alarm is set for 5 am. Yeahhhhhhhh BUDDY!

[semobison]

Heading east on I94 by 7:00 to see my first Bison playoff game at home since Pitt State in 1990! Whoooo! Hooo!

Seriously? You never been to a game in the dome? Good Luck! Have Fun!

[BisonBabe]

I am so pumped that gameday is finally hear. I will most likely get a short nap in shortly as the papers are delivered now. See you all at the dome. Yell loud and proud for our boys.

Just curious, how much does one get for delivering Zig-Zags to a hotel full of football players in the early part of the morning? :biggrin:

[TheBisonator]

Woke up at 3am, couldn't get back to sleep, drank 2 liters of Pepsi Max, now I'm JACKED LIKE A METH FREAK for this game. GOOOO BISON!!!!!

I hear you get top dollar for clandestine deliveries such at that :)

[Siouxfallsbison]

Leaving SF at 8:00. Excited but bummed that Trevor won't be playing. Go Bison!!

[MN_Moose]

From Cedar Falls,

GO BISON!

Hitting the road out of Bismarck in 15.

Let's pump it up!!!!

[jimmyptubas]

Leaving now for tailgate lot...see you all there!

[bri-dog]

I'm just sitting here watching it snow in Denver; doing laundry and waiting impatiently to go to the Denver viewing party.

Just talked to my brother; they just got in line. He said there's already a good line.

They have a current UND football player in with them; I guess he wants to see some REAL football!! :biggrin:

[onbison09]

I'm staying home from my school's last home game today to watch the Herd. It really wasn't much of a decision. I don't think I'm as passionate about any sports team as Bison football. It's a little slice of "back home". Let's beat their ass

[Timp]

GO BISON! from Billings, MT --- Have to watch Montana and MSU but have told the company that NDSU BISON will be on the main screen!

[BisoninNWMN]

Leaving the house for Fargo.....


GO BISON

(The video might be hockey but given the band is Swiss it is understandable this is in no way an endorsement of butthockey played up north)

Will we be graced by the bison intro today? Or are we still gonna be extreme rule followers?

We will have our normal lights out intro.

We will have our normal lights out intro.

Woo !

[bri-dog]

Damn, this morning is going slow! Just popped into the office for a few minutes to print out some more "pocket rosters" for people at the watch party. Now just sitting watching the clock...

[Hammerhead]

We decided to pay for the ESPN gameplan so we can watch it on the big TV. I'm decked out in gold hat, sweatshirt, and a ratty old pair of gold sweatpants I bought at the Varsity Mart when I was a freshman in 1986.

[bri-dog]

Anyone posting from the tailgate? Run into any JMU fans yet?

What a good girlfriend... she gives me playoff presents. Anyways time to go pickup the other students going with us.

[BisonAccountant44]

Lolz @ cableone my parents in Gackle get espn3 with daktel.

[bri-dog]

ODU/GSU tied at 14 in the 2nd quarter -- what the hell do you suppose happens if that game goes into OT or some shit? Would we have to miss the beginning of the Bison game?

I'm bringing my computer in case the bar in Denver has GamePlan so I can watch on Espn3...

[NDSUBowler]

JMU players jawing with end zone fans!

[Bisonguy]

We will have our normal lights out intro.

Normal intro, NEW SPL METER on the video boards (it's an actual meter, not just the graphic that was used before), but no fireworks after TD's.

Gene was saying on the radio that they talked to someone from Youngstown that is the NCAA official for this game about what could and couldn't be done. They played it close to the vest last year, but the guy from Youngstown said it was a home game so make it a home game. "Everybody up for the kickoff" and "3rd down make some noise" are OK.

[onbison09]

Shouldn't be a problem on ESPN3 if that game goes over

[tojo70]

Even without OT, that frickin game is taking forever! 3rd qtr just ended.

[SUBISON247]

when will the link so up for the game?

[onbison09]

when will the link so up for the game?

Should come up at 3

[TheBisonator]

Had a HUGE scare just now. I logged onto ESPN3, and clicked on the ODU/GSU link. It told me that the content was not available in my area. I clicked on our game, and luckily it's ON!!!!!

THE MARCH IS ON!!!!!! GOOOOO BISON!!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

Game is ON!!!!!!!

[TheBisonator]

I have pretty low volume, and I can't turn it up. Otherwise it's fine.

[Bisonguy]

I have pretty low volume, and I can't turn it up. Otherwise it's fine.

Volume down in the ESPN player??

[rustywallace]

wtf?????????? place looks empty

[Bisonguy]

Yes, yes it does.

[Bisonguy]

JMU receiving the kick.

[Bisonguy]

JMU returns it out to the 28

[Bisonguy]

Get LOUD!!!!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

JMU going for it on 4th down at the Bison 3rd down.

[Bisonguy]

How about that Bison Defense!!!!!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

Crowd looks a lot better now. They must have recorded that other segment before the game.

[MOTBison]

See that push!!!!

[Bisonguy]

DJ back at 100%?? Nice run up the middle.

[devin45k]

lets pound the pukes

[Bisonguy]

3 and out isn't going to cut it. Need to get rid of stupid penalties.

[Bisonguy]

3rd and long. Need a stop here.

[Bisonguy]

DJ McFadden? WTF?

[FCSFan]

Time to Gash 'em open w/ our running game and take over this game

[NWNDBison]

Very impressed with the quality of the ESPN3 feed. Almost HD quality. Montana game was OK,, but GA Southern barely watchable.

[devin45k]

Time of Possession will be the deciding factor

[tony]

Our radio crew is saying that Ryan Smith got hurt in warm-ups (Phil said hamstring)... big loss if true.

Since then, I've noticed that Brock has thrown to Wahlo and Moody and Smith hasn't lined up yet (and, of course, DJ returned their first punt.)

[tony]

They just confirmed it - Ryan Smith is out because he got hurt in practice earlier in the week.

[devin45k]

They just confirmed it - Ryan Smith is out because he got hurt in practice earlier in the week.

bummer man

[FCSFan]

As soon as we figure out they can't stop our run this game is over!!!!

[devin45k]

As soon as we figure out they can't stop our run this game is over!!!!

We need to control the clock this game

[NWNDBison]

I'm also pleased that the Bison radio feed is closely synched to the ESPN3 video feed. In fact it's nice that the radio fed is slightly ahead, so I know what to look for in the muted video feed,

[Bisonguy]

Nice to see Lang getting some action. 3 RB's, keep wearing down JMU.

[Bisonguy]

TD Ojuri!!!! My, oh my!!!!!!

[NWNDBison]

As soon as we figure out they can't stop our run this game is over!!!!

I think we figured it out. Go Bison!

Touchdown Bison!

[FCSFan]

Amen Brotha', now comes the D w/ the statement stop!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

Nice "tackle" on the kickoff!!

[Bisonguy]

3rd and 15. I don't hear section 20 or 21.

[Bisonguy]

3rd and 20 after the false start.

[Bisonguy]

MWill with the almost pick. Oh man, right in the breadbasket!!!!

[devin45k]

Keep running all game

[Gothmog]

I'm having a hard time seeing any way JMU wins this game. They seem completely overmatched on both lines.

[FCSFan]

Time to show where we are gonna run it and let them know ere gonna run it, and let them figure out they cant stop it

[FCSFan]

just lost audio, whats the ply by play

[tony]

just lost audio, whats the ply by play

Same here. Could you keep us updated. Time Warner is useless but I guess I'll have to try to get ESPN3 from them.

KFGO's website is down as well.

[MN_BISON]

Anyone know what conference the refs are from.

[tony]

Anyone know what conference the refs are from.

Southland. Please feed us some game updates.

[TILIS-BisonFan]

jmu at bison 20 1 and 10

[TILIS-BisonFan]

tie ball game

[westriver bison]

mw beat for a td

[tony]

All Access still down. KFGO still down. To make it even better the CBS Sportsline says that the stat tracker won't start until game time (nice one, buffoons.)

[duluthbison]

Jmu touchdown

[westriver bison]

mw misses two picks, gets a pi and gets beat for a td. not good so far

[duluthbison]

Tie game 7-7

[TILIS-BisonFan]

sounds like with review the td would have been overturned as the receiver bobbled it. From the kfgo sideline guy that was the worst kickoff ive ever seen. Kick went 16 yards and out of bounds. bison ball at the 49

[westriver bison]

21 seconds bison at jmu 49 3 to's

[Bisonguy]

At least NDSU gets the ball at JMU 49 with :21 left.

[westriver bison]

holoway catch ob at 36

[TILIS-BisonFan]

1st down bison OOB to the 37.

brock jenson sacked at the 36.

bison 2 timeouts 7 seconds

[duluthbison]

A bunch of jmu fans on the west side threw streamers everywhere when they scored. A bunch landed in a box, pissed everyone off. Done security did nothing.....

Talk about annoying fans.

[devin45k]

We need to get our defense of the field for a while

[TILIS-BisonFan]

53 yard field goal is good

[westriver bison]

53 yd fg try

goooooooooooooooooood

[Bisonguy]

Jazzy from 53!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBisonator]

I've been just watching the game, but I've gotta say:

GOD BLESS RYAN JASTRAM.

[Ginsbach]

Who gets the ball after half?

[TheBisonator]

Who gets the ball after half?

We get the ball

[onbison09]

We gotta let the Rams do work this half!

[Dukes86]

Seeing you all for the first time is something impressive. That line is big and athletic. I'm happy we're staying in this game, but I fear that as long as you all continue to play your game, you'll come out on top. Fun game so far though. You all have an excellent team.

[devin45k]

who gets the kickoff at half?

Edit: nevermind I saw the answer

[TheBisonator]

Thanks. You guys seem to just be giving us the running game right now. As long as we keep alternating between McNorton and Ojuri, we should have this one. The problem is that we have an O-coordinator who's none too bright, so there's the threat of him wanting to be pass-happy. Our O bascially shut down in the last 20 minutes of the YSU game cause our O-coordinator wanted to just pass when the running game was working.

[TheBisonator]

who gets the kickoff at half?

WE GET THE BALL!!!! DUH!!!!

ok

[Snowgoose]

Losing Ryan Smith hurts bad. We are down to our 5th and 6th receivers on the field after holloway. Also, it just seems like our offense has not had any rhythm in like 4 weeks. I can't figure that one out but in the middle of the season our offense just had a flow to it and we can't seem to get back to that. I am still really confused as to why we never run any slant patterns. All of our patterns are comeback routes or out patterns. It has been this way most of the year. On tv th center of the field seems pretty wide open for those types of plays.

[BadlandsBison]

Our line play is better on both sides. Marcus is doing really well he'll come through in the end

[bisonmike2]

I've been listening to the game just got online to see it. Sounds like the running game is going, what's going on with Smith? Is he out? Are we going to just pick kids who have played WR before out of the crowd now?

[Kevin]

What happened to Smith? I'm just tuning in myself thanks to an emergency call from work.

[coloradobison]

He played the first series but hasnt been back in since. Izzo tweeted that we are down to Warren, Moody and Wahlo. Didnt see what happened to anyone. Hoping to catch something from Scotty Miller on the halftime show.

[westriver bison]

smith has bad ham from practice this week

[IzzyFlexion]

Halftime adjustment = Mr. Williams...........play like the All-American that you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOCUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBisonator]

What other receivers are out besides Smith??

[Snowgoose]

NDSU Just posted on GOBISON that they will be having try outs for wide receiver for next weeks game if they win. I figure I run like 5.5 40 so I may give it a shot. I can run like three patterns and collapse, but they said that was okay.

[tony]

All Access is back.

[tony]

What other receivers are out besides Smith??

Vraa and Gebhart.

[Ginsbach]

Vraa and Gebhart.

Brady Hansen.

[westriver bison]

smith warming up, helmet on per kolpack

[IzzyFlexion]

I don't really care if I get lit up for this, but if we get to the next round and Smith can't go, god dammit there has to at least be some thought into Williams on offense.
We finally have a legit passing game and we have 3 receivers out, a senior quitting before the season, and a walk on Freshman. Holloway and Veldman cannot do it all.

OK............ready for the flame.

[Ginsbach]

The ESPN 3 guys say "bi-sssson." Really?

[Snowgoose]

Biggest play of the game so far is the noninterception that probably was a TD for marcus. Would have completely changed the game.

[HandoEX]

Dear God, please ley Ryan Smith play in the second half!!!

Go Bison!!!

[westriver bison]

Biggest play of the game so far is the noninterception that probably was a TD for marcus. Would have completely changed the game.

i agree plus 10

[Ginsbach]

Blocking doesn't look very good on this drive.

[tony]

Blocking doesn't look very good on this drive.

Well, one was a middle screen so the blocking woulnd't look good on that... the first pass though - that was not good. When you are rushing the ball well, you still have to pass, but you can't afford to lose 10+ yards on the sack.

[tony]

Way to do BIG D!

[Bisonguy]

Wow, these announcers suck for pronouncing names.

[FCSFan]

Successful drive of any kind is great going into this drive

[Ginsbach]

Roughing the QB. Big penalty on JMU.

[Ginsbach]

Roughing the QB. Big penalty on JMU.

And now intentional grounding.... Interesting refs.

[tony]

Roughing the QB. Big penalty on JMU.

Cancelled by the intentional grounding. Do over.

[Snowgoose]

Do not pass the ball. Run it 4 times for 10 yards like the old days. Just shove it down their throats.

[Bisonguy]

Should have just ran the ball on the that play and avoid the hits on Jensen.

[IndyBison]

And now intentional grounding.... Interesting refs.
Correct call. R went to announcement too quickly. The R never watches where a ball is thrown since he stays with the QB (if he didn't he would have missed the hit on Brock). The wing officials need to come to the R with information about eligible receivers, pass in relation to LOS. It is almost always a delayed call.

[Snowgoose]

Did I say this before. I hate 4 yd out patterns. Useless. We have run the ball for better yardage than that.

[FCSFan]

if confidence is there for Veldman he can replace everyone's concerns of R. Smith being out, he will make the plays given the chance.

[Ginsbach]

TD Ojuri!

Impressive running.

[TILIS-BisonFan]

TD Ojuri. Nice third down conversion. 16-7. XP blocked

[FCSFan]

touchdown Sammy, touchdown!!!!!

[TheBisonator]

DID ANYONE JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE???

ALSO, TD BISON!!!!!

ok

[Bisonguy]

Good to see what looks like DJ close to 100%.

Crap. Missed xp.

[TheBisonator]

Can't believe we had the same thing happen to us that happened to UNH.

Bison up 16-7

[tony]

Blocked XP... bah. 16 to 7, Bison.

[TILIS-BisonFan]

DID ANYONE JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE???

ALSO, TD BISON!!!!!

ok

do tell more

[BadlandsBison]

Our offense is like watching a really fat guy trying to run an obstacle course.

[extremerouge]

DID ANYONE JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE???

ALSO, TD BISON!!!!!

ok

No, I haven't been following any other games too closely...what happened?

[TheBisonator]

do tell more

UNH scored a TD with 7 seconds left to make it 26-25 Montana State. They need the XP to tie.

Guess what happens.

[EmeraldCityBison]

What happened to UNH?

14-7 Wofford over UNI with 5:45 left in the first half.

[extremerouge]

Bison need a stop here to really turn this game

[bisonmike2]

UNH scored a TD with 7 seconds left to make it 26-25 Montana State. They need the XP to tie.

Guess what happens.
they fixed the cable?

[tony]

This is the series that championship defenses get the ball back for the offense. C'mon defense!

[TheBisonator]

We suck against the option. WE NEED A STOP!!!!!!

[extremerouge]

"This place is on fire!"

Color commentator likes the noise

[bisonmike2]

"This place is on fire!"

Color commentator likes the noise

these guys are pretty good, soooooo much better then hammer.

[TheBisonator]

SHAKING MY FISTS IN TRIUMPH!!!!!

BISON BALL!!!!!!

ok

[FCSFan]

this game is goin' to be left up to Jenson to finish, this is the game he has wanted since the EWU loss. Lets hope he remembers.

[Ginsbach]

How 'bout that Bison defense?

[extremerouge]

Well done defense. Now we need to close it out!

[devin45k]

lets keep grinding it with our running backs. Let's tire that JMU defense

[Ginsbach]

4th down conversion for Bison is good!

[TheBisonator]

RYAN JASTRAM IS THE MAN!!!!!

19-7 Bison

[Ginsbach]

Jazzy 44 yard field goal is good!

19-7 with 9:31 left.

[BadlandsBison]

Watching our offense is like watching a really fat guy run an obstacle course.

[tony]

Nice defensive adjustments by JMU to stop the inside run. Bison offense did great to pick up the three points (and Jastram... what a gamer!)

[coloradobison]

We need to be able to pick up some first downs and move the ball a little more with the pass game on our next possession. 8 guys in the box is stuffing the run right now. Lets go D!!

[tony]

Let's do DEFENSE!

[tony]

JMU on the 35, downy by 12 with 8 minutes left to go.

[Ginsbach]

Oh, for fuck's sake.

TD JMU.

[Bisonguy]

WTF? Every game. One extremely blown coverage.

[tony]

Dang it, TD on some trickery. 7:26 left. 19-14, Bison with the XP attempt coming up.

[TheBisonator]

Time for that fat guy to run the obstacle course again.

We need just a FG. JUST A FG. Make it a two-possession game again.

[tony]

C'mon OFFENSE!

[Ginsbach]

TD McNorton! Beautiful!

[Bisonguy]

We got DJ back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBisonator]

PUMPING MY FISTS IN TRIUMPH!!!!!!

ok

[tony]

Loudest the fargodome has ever been.

[tony]

DJ With a 60 yard TD run! 26-14, The Mighty Mighty Bison!

[westriver bison]

say no to the prevent defense

[devin45k]

ESPN smack talk is going nuts!

[Hambone]

Lehigh trying to run out the clock on Towson, up 40-38. Looks like the MVFC might get a rematch from last years Lehigh defeat of UNI.....although this Lehigh team actually looks to be very good on offense. Defense, hard to tell......

[devin45k]

say no to the prevent defense


The worst defensive scheme ever created

[westriver bison]

4th and 15

and a sack

[TheBisonator]

Lehigh is gonna win. If we close this out, we play Lehigh.

[Ginsbach]

Sack on 4th down!

[TheBisonator]

BISON GET THE BALL BACK!!!

d!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

How bout that Bison Defense!!!!!!!!

[Bisonguy]

Towson goes down.

[tony]

Towson goes down.

Wow. Congrats to Lehigh!

[EmeraldCityBison]

Lehigh knocks off Towson.

JMU board complimentary of our crowd. Saying the knitting clubs at their place should take notice. Are knitting clubs standard in the FCS?

[tony]

Nice special teams! 2:43 left.

[Bisonguy]

Stay in front of the punt returner. Flashbacks of SDSU there.

[Bisonguy]

If NDSU wins, Maine will be the only CAA team moving on.

[unbison]

What's uP with leaving early folks it's dam Fargo there is no traffic stand till the end softies

[tony]

Smart play by Eaves not crushing that receiver.

[tony]

1:22 left, pass out to the Bison 29, 4th down and 8. The Dukes take a timeout. <80 seconds left.

[TheBisonator]

I'm afraid about Lehigh next week. Seems like they're gonna pass all over us. Hopefully their defense is terrible.

[tony]

Fans leaving = weak. They convert the 4th and 8 (bah.)

[extremerouge]

I was hoping Bohl would go for it on 4th down after JMU's coach declined the delay of game.

[tony]

Run out to their 47, they're out of timeouts.

[Ginsbach]

I was hoping Bohl would go for it on 4th down after JMU's coach declined the delay of game.

I'm still waiting on a fake punt by Voigt.

[tony]

Crowd got really quiet... 17 seconds left on the Bison 28.

Come on Bison crowd - make some noise!

[devin45k]

Rushing averages:

JMU - 2.3 YPC
NDSU - 5.9 YPC

[tony]

Was that the only Turnover of the game?

[TheBisonator]

BISON WIN!!!!!!!

ON to the quarterfinals!!!!!!!!!

[Hammerhead]

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Were the students chanting "Lets go Wofford" in the 4th quarter?

[bisonmike2]

not bad. JMU was a solid team and we were short handed. I hope M-Will got his one bad game out of the way.

[devin45k]

Like this win.....Fans were not very classy all week and are being poor sports about the loss.

[NH/JMU Saxkow]

Like this win.....Fans were not very classy all week and are being poor sports about the loss.

Really??? :confused:

[BadlandsBison]

We better get our s*** together next week or we're toast. Vigen took the week off again or something

[344Johnson]

No reason NDSU shouldn't have won by another TD or two. JMU looked a lot like what people here were saying...UNI Lite.

[tony]

Really??? :confused:

Personally, I've really liked interacting with the JMU fans. Glad to see that they support their team and appreciate that they bring a lot of energy to FCS football. 25,000 fans at games is outstanding!

[bisonmike2]

wow, wofford just blew the game. their idiot returner never downed the ball in the endzone, he dropped it and UNI recovered. This happened right after UNI got a gift penalty to keep a drive alive.

[Bisonguy]

wow, wofford just blew the game. their idiot returner never downed the ball in the endzone, he dropped it and UNI recovered. This happened right after UNI got a gift penalty to keep a drive alive.

The returner had two personal fouls on that previous UNI drive including the roughing the kicker. He should be UNI's player of the game.

[344Johnson]

DJ looks to be back in his playoff 2010 form.

[Strommer10]

Proud of this team! Keep it rolling. BRING ON LEHIGH!

[Bisonguy]

DJ looks to be back in his playoff 2010 form.

Yup. That 60 yard run was the straw that broke the Duke's back. Good to have 3 RB's see playing time today.

[Strommer10]

DJ looks to be back in his playoff 2010 form.
He did look a lot better than any other time this year. He was in BEAST mode on that touchdown run!

[KilldeerBison]

We better get our s*** together next week or we're toast. Vigen took the week off again or something
Agree, we shouldn't have stopped our bread and butter running attack until they stopped it, we gave up possessions early on. Also, we need receivers back, big time.

Never really cheered for teams I wasn't a fan of in the MVFC but now I want them to go further than all the CAA teams.

Did Ryan Smith play? I don't remember seeing him in the game.

Nope. Hamstring during warmups I believe.

We need him to get healthy. With Vraa and Gebhart out, we can't afford anymore gone from that position.

All the hype about the CAA and they go 1-4 today. That is too good. Overrated conference indeed.

I'm disappoited that Towson didn't win. I wanted to beat another CAA team. Oh well, Lehigh will do.

[Hopeful-Bison-Baller]

Was hoping for Appy State or UGA Southern for the Semi final, but Appy lost and UGA Southern barely won in a high scoring affair. Maine or UGA Southern will be a legit opponent to play in 2 weeks. We will beat Lehigh by 13.

All the CAA smack talk just because they think they're somehow faster and stronger than every other part of the country. They played and got smacked right in the mouth.

Exactly... it is better PR to be positive than negative (think Marc Antony in William S.'s JULIUS CAESAR.)

This is correct. Same for Justin's comment.

First of all, let me say that the ESPN 3 coverage was outstanding. As one poster said earlier, almost HD quality. Was a plesure to watch. Wished I could get that kind of picture of All Access,(I would be a happy camper) Great win by the Bison, although I felt this is a game that the Bison should have won more handily than they did. Secondly, I want to make some observations on what I saw today. Brock was pressured all day when he was throwing the ball, It appeared that our offensive line was having a difficult time blocking their defensive line on pass plays. Our offensive line did a wonderful job on run blocking. Our definsive line was stellar against the run, but had trouble putting pressure on their quarterback on the pass rush. Cole Jirk is going to be a stud. I hope it was just Brock's turf toe or his lack of target's that are the reason for his average performance. It's very obvious that his mobility is just not there. He needs to do better throwing the ball next weekend if were going to beat Lehigh. I also felt our cornerbacks were playing soft again against the pass. I would appreciate your feedback, Please let me know what you think.

Where is this CAA smack talk? Is it on another board? (I've never really gone to AGS, so it could definitely be over there.) On the JMU boards, at least, the vast majority felt the CAA was at most the 4th place conference this year - with the MVC being ranked #1. It's just that your 4th and 5th place teams choked in their last games and were eliminated from contention. Then Illinois State was screwed over for EKU, but that loss to Eastern Ill was too embarrassing.

Good luck in the rest of the playoffs and I hope your team receives the respect that you somehow don't think it's getting...

Mostly here and ESPN fan boards but I shouldnt generalize all the fans. A few bad apples can change the perception.

[GradBison]

My ears are ringing.... Great job Bison fans!

The Defense are back to their form I like our chances against anybody. The O did enough with limited personnel to win the game.

Just keep winning baby! GOOOO BISON!!

[North Side]

I am sure this was asked but was Ryan Smith hurt? Warren stepped up big today!!

Tweaked his hamstring on Thursday. We need him back for Lehigh.

The ESPN stream is great when the quaility is high, but it fades in and out like watching TV with an Antenna. If they could figure out how to make the quality consitent it would be better than GoBison, but as of now it's not. I watched all 8 games and Jay walker (name?) is by far the worst analyst I heard. I have not been impressed with the camera crew or the announcers at ESPN3 the past couple of years so I'm hoping we get a TV game next week.
