Can't wait for Saturday!!

[Putz]

Nice story, thanks for posting. Is it Saturday yet?!?

[bisonmike2]

The article claims the game will be broadcast on ESPN3. I was not aware of that. Thank god, I was thinking I had to go through gobison.com again.

What? You're not a fan of pixelation and audio lag?

Talk about some close games! All were 1 score. I remember the 2008 game we were inside the 10 and needing a TD and 2 point conversion to tie too. I'm jacked! Batshit crazy jacked up!

Thanks for this. Does anyone know how to find our playoff record with Youngstown State?

[KSBisonFan]

Thanks for this. Does anyone know how to find our playoff record with Youngstown State?

YSU has been FCS since 1980 so that only leaves the 1972 and 1973 games and I don't think those were playoff matchups. This is from the Bisonville Fan Guide Tony so graciously put up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

I could swear we played Youngstown in the playoffs once or twice. Looks like I should stop swearing. Thanks

Checked the Media Guide. We've never played YSU in the postseason.

Central State, maybe?

A reminder to people, the Bison football media guide has the score of EVERY Bison game in history, as well as a short summary of EVERY playoff game in the history of the program.

You act like you know something about NDSU athletics and that you have been to 300+ football games in a row-->get's a little sickening at times!!

[CaBisonFan]

I stand corrected. Can I blame age?

[roadwarrior]

I know nuthin!

I was just having some fun with old CAS.....I've seen the rings many time. We need to get you up to Fargo. You been up lately?

[BisonNeil]

TSN also has this as the Game of the Week in FCS. Craig Haley picks YSU (near bottom of the article):

http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/writers/infcshuddle/index.htm

However, his sidekick, Tim McConnell, picks NDSU:

I was doing the same thing. Fun guy to have some fun with. We know that CAS is one of the best defenders that the Bison have had. I was up for the Georgia Southern game. My wife and I were at the game, but both of us were sick with a flu bug, so we didn't feel like going out to the tailgating...((

Not sure about when I can come up again. Money is the obstacle. I'll let you know when/if I'm coming to a game. Thanks

See my travel hacking thread. I just booked flight to the K. State game......it is in the Watering Hole.

A CLASSIC GAME APPEARS LIKELY

The signs point to the biggest game of the first half of the regular season living up to the anticipation. Third-ranked Youngstown State visits top-ranked North Dakota State on Saturday (2 p.m. ET, ESPN2) and shouldn't be bothered by playing on the road against the defending national champion Bison..

In fact, the Penguins have won their two visits to the Fargodome, 39-35 in 2009 and 27-24 last year, which was the only loss for NDSU.

Youngstown State holds a 4-2 lead in the series, and the biggest margin of victory is eight points.

"Any time you lose a game, that has an impact on you," NDSU coach Craig Bohl said. "Certainly, they flat beat us last year. For our players, they certainly recognize how tough the Missouri Valley Conference is and how the differences between winning and losing are so slim. There's not a Saturday that our team or I'm sure other teams in the Valley don't go on the gridiron with the anticipation of winning a game and also (the) understanding that you can lose a game. That's how we see this game."

"I think every year's a new year, every year's a new team and we're a much different team than we were last year," YSU coach Eric Wolford said. "I think they're a different team than they were last year. So I think from year-to- year, the previous year really has no bearing on this year's outcome."

Both teams are 4-0 and have a win over an FBS opponent.

Ironically, the upper classes on both teams have been built out of 3-8 seasons. NDSU finished with that record in 2009, went 9-5 and won two playoffs games in 2010 and then went 14-1 last season. Meanwhile, YSU was 3-8 in Wolford's first season in 2010 and doubled the win total last year in going 6-5.
When Did ESPN put the game on ESPN2 ^^^^^^ http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/writers/infcshuddle/index.htm

Typo I'm sure. ESPN's TV listings show Arkansas vs Auburn. Doubt they preempt that for NDSU-YSU although that would be pretty sweet. They're not going to put KVLYs SD feed on national TV.

That's already been arranged...referring to your earlier instructions.

Has anybody else noticed that some of NDSU's wins came against high school teams? And NDSU lost to Fargo High School in 1904!

[CaBisonFan]

Seems that they love showing Towson and Sam Houston.
