In 2015, Would You Rather See the Bison...

[aces1180]

...beat UN_ 50-0, but lose in the national championship game...

OR

...lose to UN_ 22-21 on a last second FG, but win the FCS title again...

(for the sake of fun, you cannot say I want them to win both)

Also, don't take this too seriously, its the offseason. ;)

[Tatanka]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Sent from somewhere on teh intarwebs.

[CentennialBison]

FCS title BUT I want both, dammit...

[KSBisonFan]

Not gonna do it....

[Christopher Moen]

Can't give an answer as they will win both.

[Milkman]

In this fantasy world, during the loss did we sit Wentz for fear of cheap shots and injuries to protect the upcoming 5peat

[Vet70]

What you have presented is the Kobayashi Maru for Bison fans. As such I have no choice but to surreptitiously reprogram your simulator. We kick the crap out of UN_ and win the natty. Scenario over.

[Milkman]

for the sake of argument and the torture of this poll I submit this. The blowout win leads to a catastrophic event that PREVENTS the 5peat BUT the heartbreaking loss fuels the team to the most dominant performance in the history of the school. So the events on that day literally determine the end of the season. No "both" scenario.

[ZHerd]

This game is turdy

[Milkman]

In the land of the living(reality). We are just going to do both so I am just having fun with it.


But this question is a real barometer of if you really give a shit what those ppl up north think. If it was UNI, SDSU, EWU or anyone else I say screw it. Tough loss oh well. THIS PREVIOUS SEASON CASE IN POINT. Do you really give a shit if some UNI fan says " yea well we beat ya" I kinda give um a good for you nod and look at those 4 glorious trophies.

[MNLonghorn10]

good thread. Another reason why the game vs UND should've never been signed off.

[DjKyRo]

Poll directions unclear, dick caught in ceiling fan.

[ZHerd]

Which scenario would be worse: 1) Not playing an FBS game, or 2) having to restart things with the Whioux? Oh...wait

[MNLonghorn10]

haha.

its like...oh, whatever momentum NDSU had going into 2015-2016 wont be nationally recognized(unless some miracle GameDay comes back). Hooraw.

[BisonFan02]

Poll invalid....if this team loses an OOC against those losers, they will have a tougher time in conference and miss playoffs.

[BisonHorns]

This seems like something un_ would do on their forum! Doesnt belong here. We dont worry about loses, we count up wins.

[BisonNation11]

Win the natty. Then the un_ies can paint their tin shed just like UNI saying they beat the champs. Can't be raising the banner in 2019 after the minimum 8-peat hosting un_ for a true whoopin if we don't take the one for the thumb. Sacrifices people.

[PlainsBison]

Game shouldn't have happened. All we are going to hear on talk show radio and editorials is how insensitive and pathetic Bison fans are. Even if just one person says something that someone else hears.

[HerdBot]

UNI hangs conference championship banners. NDSU hangs National Championship banners.
Now UNI awards a trophy for beating NDSU. They will present the trophy at their home opener. Everyone will get a sticker that says "good job!"

[HerdBot]

This seems like something un_ would do on their forum! Doesnt belong here. We dont worry about loses, we count up wins.

UND began game planning for NDSU the day the game was announced. They will have a 1 year advantage on us so the coaches better be ready.

[Hammersmith]

Pretty sure that's what caused this thread. SS has a thread about which they would rather win, Wyo or us. It's overwhelming that they would rather beat us than get their first FBS win. Since we don't have an FBS game on the schedule this year, this is as close a comparable question as the OP can get. At least that's what I think is going on.

"You know I don't think we're talking a repeat, a three-peat, or even a four-peat."

[HerdBot]

It is really shocking to me that anyone in their right mind would have rather beaten UNI last year instead of beating Illinois State to four peat.

These are the 6 voters who are either
a) misunderstood the question
b) are legally braindead
c) trolls
d) nerds
e) turds
f) have priorities mixed up
g) think UNI would trade spots with us
h) accidentally clicked the wrong button
i) all of the above

[Bisonator98]

Not much of a question. NDSU wins championships. UN_ just worries about beating NDSU. We're their Super Bowl. Give me another Natty!

[Elvis was a Bison]

Kinda like "The Lady or the Tiger" dilemma. Must lose sleep to find the answer...

[Vet70]

UND began game planning for NDSU the day the game was announced. They will have a 1 year advantage on us so the coaches better be ready.

I have every confidence that our coaches or players will not take UN_ lightly and that both know what is at stake. Plus they can game plan all they want, but do they have the talent to pull it off. Notice that there is no question mark.

[ndsubison1]

its like in bball last year. we lose to them but won in the dance :)

[ndsubison1]

We are an FBS team in FCS clothing. So we would count :)

[aces1180]

Hammer is right, I was inspired by SS.com.

Like I said...long offseason and don't take this thread too seriously. hahaha

bonus...lakes neg repped me, lol (at least I don't need to be on babysitting mode for my posts)

[Christopher Moen]

If they're going to cry, I say we give them a darn good reason to cry. Time to put frosting and sprinkles (because we're winners) on these cupcakes and palm them!

[StL Bison Fan]

I believe if you give people what they want, they will get what they deserve...

[Bisonator98]

Quite frankly I'll be disappointed if we only beat UN_ by 50. I'd be happy if it's 80-0!

[Vet70]

Don't they say be careful what you wish for, you just might get it?

Yours is the nice version...

[Vet70]

I do understand what you mean.

[BisoninNWMN]

Bison crush UND.

5-peat is a definite possibility

[ZHerd]

Which scenario would be worse: 1) Not playing an FBS game, or 2) having to restart things with the Whioux? Oh...wait

For anyone neg repping me for the above thinking it is saying we should replace an FBS game with UN_, it is actually meant as the opposite, stating the existence of a current lose lose scenario

[HerdBot]

Quite frankly I'll be disappointed if we only beat UN_ by 50. I'd be happy if it's 80-0!

We could lose to UNI 50-0 and it means nothing if we five peat. We probably would forget about the game in time but I guarantee we wouldn't forget the National Championships

[GOBISON123]

We rest all our 1s and play our 2s and 3s....Easton Stick or Cole Davis....ummm hmmm...and our 1s will be back after this game so definately choice 2 for me.

[ZHerd]

This poll is like asking who you should throw to their deaths off a crowded raft. Don't defile yourselves with this

Yep, got negged by lakes too and already see his two suckers had something to say. What do you expect from people who want to lose to IPFW?

i do find it funny he is still on babysit mode, though

Whether fans want to see this game or not in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter. I have heard many Bison PLAYERS say we need to play them so we can shut them up for a while and basically show them who's boss.

This is a team that lost to Missouri St 35-0 I believe and we beat the same team by how much?? No matter what they want to hear this game is no different then Incarnate Word, etc.

UND lost to Missouri State 38-0. We beat them 45-10.

So, obviously, we would have beaten UND 83-10...right?

How in the World will they score 10 points? We take five kneel-downs in our own end zone after the first half is my guess.

If... this game does in fact help Bison players, in a good way, then I'm all for it. However, I would not expect the pioux fans to ever shut their collective pie holes. It's just whioux they are.

But they got the hockies, the most important sport to all Canucks. Even more important than hurling, er, I mean curling. Maybe if the NCAA increased the ball size to be similar to the CFL's ball, then they might take American Football seriously.

Wait a minute, wioux are we talking about again?

[bisonmike2]

Jesus Christ what a horrible question to ask. That's like saying you have to watch one of your kids die, pick one. Why on earth would anyone ask this? It's impossible for me to answer this question with the given answers. I refuse to. I take option C. We beat UN_ by 50 and win another championship. While option 1 is more likely. We are more likely to beat UN_ by 50 but that doesn't mean we are guaranteed to win another NC. We probably won't be the only team to beat UN_ by 50 this year. However option 2 is impossible. Because if we lose to UN_ no matter what the score, there is no way we have the kind of team necessary to win a NC. Just not happening that year and the playoffs are probably also out of the question.

Have you ever seen the monkey room? There is no purple here. There is a room that has no purpose ( you could argue that about the whole place) that has wood that has animal faces in it. Get them to show you next time you are there.

Look man, here's the deal. I want UN_ to lose, and lose badly. They could be playing the North Korean national club speed-crochet team and I would root against them. I don't care if it's bush league, I don't care if we've left them behind, I don't care if it looks bad. Get the triple-digit scoreboard ready because it's going to be a blowout early and I'll be doing shots in the parking lot to celebrate. Down with UN_.

To sum it up, UND is the gods' punishment for the sins of man.

[MankatoBison]

Im pretty sure the appropriate question should be:
Beat UN_ 50-0 and lose the Natty
OR
Lose to UN_ 50-0 and win the natty
