SDSU Game Thread..........

[WYOBISONMAN]

I just figured I would start this thread before heading up to the Fargodome for some serious tailgaitin'!

I talked with some of the SDSU players this moring....they are staying here at the Radisson.....those guys are a class act! *We could not ask for better, more classy partners in the DI move! *It sounds like they are fired up about the Gateway prospects.

Forecast for Fargo....
High today of 41 with a light wind! and.........

A 100% CHANCE OF THUNDER!!!

[NDSUFREAK10]

Is everybody drinking all the water they can handle so that they can yell more than they can handle!!

Now, everybody do your trills, because I am heading out to the FFD RIGHT NOW!!

[sambini]

LETS GO BISON++++

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

There is a #1 vs. #2 Ohio State vs. Michigan game on TV right now and I am not really even focused on it because I am so pumped for the start of the Bison/Bunny game. This is going to be great.

[kchats]

Bison Zone broadcast has started. *Listening to pregame and ready to roll. *Let's Go Bison! *The March Is Still On!

The broadcast just stopped. I was enjoying pregame and now it isn't there anymore.

[Bisonips]

Gobison feed is rollin' right now, but I got a feeling it will be choppy today because lots of fans will be watching today.

[kchats]

I've got it up a rolling too. No problems here though. Waiting on Bison Zone to come back on for Scott, Phil and Steve.

[met1990]

It's a sell-out crowd today. There are people in the F-dome lobby trying to buy tickets right now. I heard a rumor that they were selling "standing-room only" tickets. Not sure if that's legit. Anway, it will be an awesome crowd.

[Bisonips]

Anyone know if Mcfeely is running his live blog today?? I like his unique perspective during the games.

[Bisonips]

did i just see bucky dressed for the game?

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

SDSU long screen pass across mid-field.

[BisonInTexas]

Still no BisonZone. Another great production by WDAY.... >:(

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

NDSU forces a punt on the first series.

[Bisonips]

4th and 10

[Bisonips]

Still no BisonZone. *Another great production by WDAY.... *>:(

write an email or call their support...they probably have no idea it's not working...they are usually receptive if something is screwed up

[Bisonips]

whew, nice catch by T-White to the 50

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Majeski with a big run on the reverse for a 1st down.

[drewaely]

Bison sound great! I'm listening to the game for FREE via NDSU's Thunder Radio. They are doing a great job calling the game.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Holy crap, Walker scared the hell out of me by looking injured there on the bootleg.

[tony]

3-0 Bison.

[Bisonips]

field goal and it's good

[tony]

Still no radio feed.... arg!

[drewaely]

Still no radio feed.... arg!

seriously, check out thunder radio.... here's the link:

http://www.ndsu.edu/webradio/

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Can Drago kickoff? Not that there is anything wrong with Bibeau, but just wondering if this is another way we could utilize our special teams demon.

[tony]

I'm getting thunder radio with the video feed.

[Bisonips]

gobison is really choppy for me...it's like a slide show with commentary

[tony]

Fooooourth Doooown!

[tcbison]

gobison is really choppy for me...it's like a slide show with commentary

Ditto that.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

GoBison.com working fine for me, but the audio gets a bit fuzzy at times.

[westriverbison]

gobison not working for me

[DenverBison05]

GoBison.com working fine for me, but the audio gets a bit fuzzy at times.
Same here

[kchats]

I have them both running right now. Bison Zone started recently.

[insane_ponderer]

love the thunderradio guys commenting on how steffes would need 854 yards this game to break lamar gordons record :)

[tony]

I! N! T!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Interception by Humber.

[drewaely]

tip drill!!! Go Bison!

[kchats]

Bison interception. Ramon Humbar.

[Bisonips]

Humber tip drill! INT

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

We need to take the ball and put it in the endzone right now.

[tony]

Four down territory, run and run.

[Bisonips]

Roehl plays with so much intensity all game every game...great fullback

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

I agree, go for it and lean on that offensive line and that defense if you don't make it.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Roehl plays with so much intensity all game every game...great fullback

How about the lick he just laid on that LB?

[tony]

First down, Bison!

[drewaely]

PUNCH IT IN!!!!!!! LET'S MAKE IT A 2 SCORE GAME EARLY ON!

[tony]

Bison at the 12. 1st down

[drewaely]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN'T BE STOPPED!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Touchdown Steffes on the draw play!

[tony]

TOUCHDOWN STEFFES ON A BEAUTY DRAW!

[Bisonips]

"the only empty seat in the student section is a guy wearing a green shirt" - that's awesome

[tony]

I got Phil and Co. working now... woohoo!

[drewaely]

How do you get more than the capacity in the dome??? Students are currently standing on the concourse... There are no seats left!!!!

[BisonInTexas]

Bison Zone audio is up for me -finally. Now I have to record and listen to the game later. Have fun guys!

Craig

[tony]

Wow, what got into Bibeau's leg? Touchback on the kickoff.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

10-0 Good Guys at the end of the 1st quarter.

[tony]

End of 1: NDSU 10, SDSU 0.

[drewaely]

End of first quarter....

Bison - controlling game
Jacks - suck

[kchats]

Bison offensive line came ready to play today. Bison up 10-0 let's shut the door now. A dominating shutout victory over the Jacks might move the Bison up in the polls.

[drewaely]

If we can convincingly beat the jacks we may be able to move up 1 spot!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

We should move to #1 if we paste them like we did to Poly.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Big pass on play-action down to the NDSU 15.

[kchats]

Blown coverage. Let's back them up and keep the shutout.

[drewaely]

that can't happen is app and mass don't lose.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Another pass down to the Bison 3.

[Bisonips]

Any way a win comes today, big or small is fine with me...Championship and the Dakota Marker in the Union anyway we can

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Touchdown SDSU on a run. 10-6 with the kick coming.

[kchats]

Damn blown coverage. That better be it. Time to dominate defense. Offense needs another long TD drive.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Running into the kicker on the PAT. Looks like their kicker is not feeling real good.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

I'm liking this package with Buckman in as a TE. How about Roehl and Brower behind that? It would be nasty.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Blincoe stopped on 3rd and 3. Would've liked to see Steffes or Brower there. Drago pins 'em at the 15.

[tony]

Nice work by Bizal on the punt coverage.

[tony]

Intentional grounding?

[max_cool]

looks like it

[tony]

C'mon D.... Third Down! Let's hear some noise.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Nope, but very close. Also close to a sack.

[max_cool]

maybe not, it's the right call though
as in no call is the right call

[tony]

Pass incomplete.... Fourth Down!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Incomplete on 3rd down, looked like Quickstad in hitting the QB on the pass.

[max_cool]

crap!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Dang it. Roughing the kicker to keep the drive alive. Two of these type of penalties already. Pretty weak call.

[tony]

Cheese and rice... ran into the punter.

[cabis]

Great stop DEFENSE!!!

[Bisonips]

brought the house on the punt block and got over-zealous, dammit... >:(

[kchats]

What are the Bison doing? Don't give them any hope. Let's stop them now.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

How about the D? Who are these guys and what have they done with our Defense?

[kchats]

What is this crap! Play some defense Bison!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Safety gets burned for an SDSU touchdown. STop somebody.

[tony]

Can't give them first downs on penalty after you stop them.

[max_cool]

BLARGH!! %$^@ &(@%

[westriverbison]

time for a six minute drive for TD

[tony]

Nice return... now let's play some Bison football!

[tony]

Holy cow, what a catch by Roehl!

[daherd]

Listening to the SDSU announcers in Sioux Falls. They said they just needed to spot us 10 pts to make it interesting. Time to put the Bunnies in their place. Need a score here.

[tony]

Bison down to the 21... first down!

[drewaely]

sdsu announcers suck. The bunnies are in no place to be cocky. Just remember UW-Lacrosse.

[drewaely]

F$%$'n fumble

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Walker fumble, SDSU ball.

[tony]

Ack.... fumble and Jacks get it.

[drewaely]

right when we were about to score and take the lead... stupid.

[kchats]

Bison are not playing very well right now. this is embarrassing.

[tony]

C'mon defense!

[drewaely]

it seems to me that there have been many halfs this year when we have laid an egg.... Bohl better get his guys going.

[kchats]

Time to peel the paint. Embarrassing to be behind these guys.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

SDSU kicker good from 53 yards last week. Must be nice.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

First half in the books. 14-10 SDSU. We need to pick it up big-time in the second half.

[kchats]

Not exactly how I thought the Bison would play in the final home game of the year to end a great season. They are playing worse than they did at Davis right now. Hopefully the second half is like Davis for the D and the offense gets things going.

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

The good thing is that they aren't as far behind as they were at Davis, so all they have to do is take the opening kick of the second half and put it in the endzone.

[kchats]

The defense needs to play like they are capable. They shouldn't be giving anything up to the Jacks at all. Bison need to pound them in the mouth with Steffes and then hit a long one to Heckendorf.

[kchats]

NDSU is not playing like a team that fancies themselves as the number 1 team in I-AA.

[Rabbitlivinginverm]

Why is it embarrassing that you guys are losing 14-10 to the #19 team in the nation who also happens to 7-3??? Is it possible that SDSU just might be good enough to carry the Bison's jocks and maybe even dare to play on the same field???

Oh, I forgot, NDSU invented football... ::)

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

Lots of Blincoe so far. I say stick with Steffes and Brower, mix in Blincoe as a change of pace.

[tony]

Oh, I forgot, NDSU invented football... ::)

I'm not understanding that sentiment either... sure, I'd like to see NDSU winning, but SDSU has been playing better. They are really hustling on defense and exposing NDSU's weaknesses in the secondary on deep coverage. Watson is really running hard too.

NDSU, on the other hand, has been playing good in flashes but looks a little indecisive on defense and keeps killing themselves on offense.

Bohl doesn't need to peel the pain, he just needs to get everybody on the same page.

[semobison]

Pretty simple, we got pushed around the second quarter, and gave up the big play. They are winning the line of scrimmage!!

[Bisonips]

any news about SDSU's kicker? I didn't see how hard he was hit on that extra point and am curious of his condition...

[Rabbitlivinginverm]

any news about SDSU's kicker? *I didn't see how hard he was hit on that extra point and am curious of his condition...

He must be fine. He kicked the 2nd xtra point and kickoff.

[kchats]

That marker thing they are showing on the video is pretty annoying.

[Bisonips]

That marker thing they are showing on the video is pretty annoying.

Yeah, I agree...I don't think the press has taken a new picture of it since its release in 2004...look at any shot on display of it in the media and it's the same shot every time...

[insane_ponderer]

big run for the bison :)

[Bisonips]

Punch that thing in!!!!!!!

[insane_ponderer]

ah td bison...thats the offense we were looking for.

[cabis]

Thats the answer we were looking for!

[cabis]

Now we need a turnover or a three and out.

[drewaely]

Why is it embarrassing that you guys are losing 14-10 to the #19 team in the nation who also happens to 7-3??? Is it possible that SDSU just might be good enough to carry the Bison's jocks and maybe even dare to play on the same field???

Oh, I forgot, NDSU invented football... ::)


it is embarassing... the jacks aren't bad but when ndsu has a 10 point lead and squander it the way that they did...it's embarassing. why don't you stop being so f'n defensive! chill out.

[drewaely]

another dumb penalty...

[kchats]

Where is Justin Frick?

[insane_ponderer]

where is our defense?

[tcbison]

Majeski for a Bison TD!

[kchats]

Now if the defense will start to play we might be on to something.

[tcbison]

Bison take back the lead 24 to 21 on a reverse by Majeski.

[cabis]

Whats going on?? I lost everything with the Jacks at our 16

[kchats]

Finally don't hit the punter and let's stretch the lead out now.

[tcbison]

Attendance a record by 7. 19053!

[somebison]

19,053 attendance

[kchats]

Heckendorf Yes! TD now let's stop them again and run away from them.

[insane_ponderer]

that fricken rocks...another page to the rivalry

[kchats]

Bison lead 31-21 and they need to play some defense.

[tony]

I don't know about you guys, but I am jumping out my skin... pretty keyed up, have to do pushups until I stop jittering.

[kchats]

End of the 3rd quarter. *Bison lead 31-21. *Time for the defense to play Bison defense and stop them cold. I'm still pissed the Bison have given up 21 points.

[kchats]

That is not Bison defense SDSU over 100 Watson on his way to 100 with 85.

[tcbison]

Watson with a big run for the Jacks. I got my video working now.

[tcbison]

Did you see that receiver stomp on the Bison logo? Isn't that a penalty?

[kchats]

Ugly defense for the Bison tonight. No pressure from the defensive line and only one turnover. Bison need to score another TD and keep the lead up.

[kchats]

Even more upset 28 points what happened to the Bison defense tonight. No matter what happens tonight NDSU won't be moving up in the rankings they might even drop.

[kchats]

Bad play by SDSU's kicker. He hits them all in the endzone and he kicks this one out of bounds? :-[

[Hammersmith]

FYI, this year's average attendance is higher than last year's best game.

[kchats]

Majeski time again.

[tcbison]

Even more upset 28 points what happened to the Bison defense tonight. *No matter what happens tonight NDSU won't be moving up in the rankings they might even drop.

At this point, who cares about the polls. Just win the game.

[Bison101]

Even more upset 28 points what happened to the Bison defense tonight. *No matter what happens tonight NDSU won't be moving up in the rankings they might even drop.

We are in the fourth quarter in a tight game. Our whole season is on this line. Screw the polls, screw our averages, just win the game baby and we are GWFC champs and Dakota Marker champs. I could give a rats ass about the rest of it. Go Bison, finish em off!

[kchats]

Bad call pancake block called for holding??? :-[

[tcbison]

Great catch by White, he appears to be short of the first down.

[kchats]

Bad spot.

[kchats]

Come on run the play. Bison got jobbed White had the first down.

[westriverbison]

Time left?

[kchats]

I'm disappointed in the defense so far tonight.

[westriverbison]

Sounds like a great game. Wish I was there instead of at work. SDSU seems to have taken us out of our game.

[tcbison]

Pass too high. 4th down for the Jacks.

[drewaely]

big stop! now let's move the ball and punch another one in.

[tcbison]

TD Travis White on a great return 85 yards. No flags on the play!

[kchats]

That is a senior making a statement. Great return by Travis White. What a stiff arm.

[drewaely]

Travis White = Game Changer!

What a play for the senior!!!!!!!

[insane_ponderer]

touchdown for the senior travis white...gotta love that big punt return bison go up by 10

[tony]

WOW!!!!

[drewaely]

my oh my

[westriverbison]

Do you think many people have left? Is the crowd into the game?

[drewaely]

Do you think many people have left? Is the crowd into the game?

game is sold out... attendance record set by 7 people!

[drewaely]

crowd going nuts!

[kchats]

No pressure by the defensive line. Let's get some.

[westriverbison]

crowd going nuts!



It's about time ;D ;D ;D

[drewaely]

there's your pressure! sack ndsu

[kchats]

Finally a sack. Time for another.

[drewaely]

4th and 15... SDSU going for it... 3:15 left in the game.

[drewaely]

timeout sdsu.

[drewaely]

this is easily the game of the year.... move over minnesota.

[drewaely]

SACK! JUSTIN FRICK!!!! NDSU BALL!!!!!! THE MARKER WILL BE OURS! THE GWFC TITLE WILL BE OURS!

[kchats]

Frick finally gets a sack on a line stunt. Time for another TD to put this game away.

[tony]

FRICK-AND-A! I'm going to have a heart attack!

[tony]

Game isn't over yet... c'mon, let's get a first down, offense!

[tcbison]

They just showed that White TD again. Two stiff arms that took the Jacks to the turf. FG is good!

[drewaely]

SHAWN BIBEAU!!! FG FROM 36 IS GOOD. 41-28 BISON!

[kchats]

I can't believe fans are heading for the exits. SDSU is a better team than I thought they were. Andy Kardoes played a whale of a game and was very impressive. SDSU's offensive line held their own against a good Bison front too.

[kchats]

Bibeau is going to be good when he learns to get the ball up in the air. He is only a freshman.

[drewaely]

I can't believe fans are heading for the exits. SDSU is a better team than I thought they were. Andy Kardoes played a whale of a game and was very impressive. SDSU's offensive line held their own against a good Bison front too.


I'M NOT TOTALLY SURPRISED... TYPICAL BOOSTERS.... BEAT THE TRAFFIC. GROSS.

[tcbison]

I can't believe fans are heading for the exits. *SDSU is a better team than I thought they were. *Andy Kardoes played a whale of a game and was very impressive. *SDSU's offensive line held their own against a good Bison front too.

Give credit to the Jacks, they had some great play calls and mixed it up really well. The Jacks just wouldn't give up.

[kchats]

These referees are horrible at spotting the ball. They gave SDSU two extra yards and screwed Travis White out of 2 yards.

[kchats]

Kardoes looks like he is in a bit of pain.

[drewaely]

DUMB PLAY ON WATSON.... 15 YARD PENALTY FOR THE SDSU SENIOR.

[tcbison]

INT by Craig Dahl!

[drewaely]

SENIOR CRAIG DAHL SEALS THE VICTORY WITH THE PICK!!!!!!!!!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[kchats]

Bison win!!!!! 10-1 Baby!!!!! Bison defense finally made a couple of stops at the end of the game and that turned it. Pretty good for not playing very well the whole game.

[drewaely]

Jacks put up a fight... Total yards were equal... 383 to 383!

[tony]

Holy crap, what a game! Man, I'm glad so many people got to see it in person.

Nice way for Dahl to seal the deal with two broken hands taped up to look like clubs (that's my story and I'm sticking with it).

Jackrabbits... wow, that is a damn good team! Congrats on a very good season, Bunny friends!

[kchats]

That is a pretty lame conference championship trophy. A framed picture with all the team logos?? :-[

[filbert]

Congratulations to the Bison, 2006 Great West Football Conference Champions and winners of the Dakota Marker.

[tcbison]

The Championship room is now open again! They got Coach Bohl with the Gatorade!

[kchats]

Great game by SDSU they put up quite a fight and played very well. Bison didn't play very well defensively until the last 5 minutes of the game or so. Hopefully the Bison shore up their pass defense next season. Kardoes really exploited that.

[semobison]

South Dakpta State had a damn fine team! Im glad their quarterback is a senior. He is a stud. What a year!! 10-1 GWFC champs!! A GREAT year to be a Bison!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[SiouxFallsJack]

What an exciting game. *Congrats Bison on the win and the Great West title! *Can't wait to see you guys next year in Brookings.

[Scooter]

JACKRABBITS, WE NOW HAVE A RIVALRY! *R-E-S-P-E-C-T

[bisoningrandforks]

GREAT GAME!!! GREAT SEASON!!!!! IM VERY PROUD OF THIS TEAM!!! THXS TO ALL THE PLAYERS AND COACHES!! THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!!!! .........

[Hola]

Wow, one statement, CaBisonFan is one prognosticator. I don't believe he had any special knowledge, just an unwavering belief in Bison football. I think he even stated that 11-0 was possible. He was off by that one field goal. In all, 1 point to the Gophers, hmmm, very good year, an understatement at best.

[Rabbitlivinginverm]

Great game Bison. You guys have a great team and a wonderful program. As much as we wanted to win this game you guys made the big plays and stayed consistant. Bison and Jacks can be proud.

[gojacksgo]

Good game Bison. You guys have a great team. Can't wait for next year!

[Jeffdaryl3rd]

No kidding, what a season! *One loss by one point to a now bowl-eligible 1-A team in a game in which we dominated the on-field play. *Coach Bohl and all the players really had one heck of a season. *They deserve to enjoy both the marker and the GWFC title. Having said that, SDSU has nothing to hang their heads about. Good season, see you again for the Marker next year.

[westriverbison]

NDSU 41, SDSU 28
FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- Travis White sealed the game and a Great West Football Conference title with an 84-yard punt return as North Dakota State defeated South Dakota State 41-28 Saturday.

A record crowd of 19,053 at the Fargodome was treated to a night of offensive fireworks, with the teams combining for more than 700 yards of total offense. There were four lead changes.

The Bison (10-1, 4-0 GWFC) rallied twice in the second half. They were clinging to a 31-28 lead when White broke several tackles en route to the clinching touchdown with 6:13 left.

Neither the No. 4 Bison nor No. 18 Jackrabbits are eligible for the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Wide receiver John Majeski was the key to the Bison surge in the third quarter -- as a rusher. He reeled off two long gains on end-around plays, one for 65 yards that led to a Tyler Roehl touchdown run and another for 45 yards and a score.

The latter run put the Bison ahead 24-21 late in the third quarter, the fourth lead change of the game. NDSU stretched that advantage to 31-21 with 15 seconds left in the quarter on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Steve Walker to Kole Heckendorf.

The Jackrabbits (7-4, 3-1 GWFC) responded quickly to start the fourth quarter, when quarterback Andy Kardoes hooked up with a wide-open Micah Johnson on a 60-yard touchdown pass. That pulled SDSU within 31-28 with 14:16 left.

The Bison defense held SDSU scoreless the rest of the way.

Shawn Bibeau kicked a pair of field goals for NDSU.

The Bison lead 10-0 in the first quarter on a 41-yard field goal by Bibeau and a 12-yard touchdown run by Kyle Steffes.

SDSU connected on two big pass plays to go ahead in the second quarter. A 51-yard pass from Kardoes to Chris Wagner set up a 1-yard scoring run by Anthony Watson, and 43-yard touchdown pass from Kardoes to Johnson made it 14-10 at half.

[JBNJBQ]

Great game Bison!

You have a great team. Enjoy the marker for another year. BUT DON'T GET TOO ATTACHED TO IT!

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

[NDSUFREAK10]

That is a pretty lame conference championship trophy. *A framed picture with all the team logos?? :-[


Yeah, it is pretty bad......

[kchats]

Hopefully there is a traveling trophy that will arrive for the press conference. They have to have something better than that. I guess there will be a banner hanging at one of the games next year. Nice to add a banner. Can't wait to add a Gateway banner and a National Championship!

[Flintstone]

Wow did we miss Nick Schommer tonight. :-[

[kchats]

The game archive is already available for viewing on GoBison.com All Access. Fast work by the Sports Information Department.

[BisonBacker]

Congrats to the Bison and also to the Jacks for 2 great seasons.

[sambini]

GREAT GAME AND ALSO THOSE JACKS HAVE ONE HELL OF TEAM++++

[kchats]

Jacks should end up in the top 25.

[sambini]

+++++++++

[semobison]

IMHO the Jacks were the best IAA we played all year. Id rank them in the top 15!!

[Bison_Dan]

Wow did we miss Nick Schommer tonight. :-[


I was at the game and thought the same thing. We gave them 2 free TD's just like at Ball State. SDSU is a good team. We didn't need to help them out. Great Game.
