4 straight #FCS titles + 4 straight bowl victories = 1 great game. #NDSUBison at Oregon 9/5/2020!

[Bison 4 Life]

Hoo lee shit!

[NDSUguy]

Holy. Shit.

[BisonNation11]

This is awesome!!! Will we hang? Who knows! But the trip will be worth it!!!

[BisonFan02]

No clue what the Bison will look like by 2020....but the same could have been said for the K State game....this is pretty awesome.

[NDSUstudent]

Finally an FBS game! I am all in on this road trip!

[Bison Loaf]

Hey Big 10..................................screw you!!

[17>1]

YES!!!!! Maybe another train ride for Dad and I?!

[SDbison]

OK, this game will be a challenge to do as a road trip. So, I hope recruiting keeps going well and the Bison are still competitive with P5 schools in 5 years. Odd to think none of the players that are Freshman today will be around to participate in that game unless they have eligibility like Vraa, or they become a coach.

[moosbah]

We'll see who has the better looking cheer team.

NDSU will get $650,000 for playing Oregon I'm 2020, @matt_larsen9 tells me on @790KFGO

Hey Big 10..................................screw you!!

I agree with your message. road trip baby.

[bisonfanette]

This is incredible news!!!

[EC8CH]

O.... O.... O..... Oregon!

[HuskerBizon]

I can't wait for this game. Eugene here I come

[garbageman]

How much will it cost Oregon to buy out

[Bison 4 Life]

I doubt it will happen but if we beat them, it's over.

[ndsubison1]

But we don't play real FBS teams

[MrSnuffleupagus]

$650k AND a victory?! Sounds good to me.

[EC8CH]

Someone should probably calculate if its likely our QB will be eligible to transfer to an FBS school that year... Just sayin'

[ndsubison1]

But but CFP strength of schedule

[bisonmike2]

So will we be at 9 or 10 straight championships by then?

[Wally]

In the calendar, so I am IN!

But but CFP strength of schedule

This...Oregon has no chance of making the playoff's that year even though they have Ohio State the following week. Pac 12 needs a new rule.

[Mr Meaty]

Another Game Day appearance. :hide:

[Bison Loaf]

Let me be the first to bring some sense of sanity to this thread. :facepalm:

Bison 31, Ducks 30 in a high-scoring (for us) affair!

[Gully]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[SDbison]

Thanks to this distraction, I hope NDSU football players are able to focus on the Montana game!

[Bison 4 Life]

Let me be the first to bring some sense of sanity to this thread. :facepalm:

Matt Larsen would be as likely to get a call answered as Jared at Subway headquarters.

[PlainsBison]

This should help recruiting, right, knowing that there will be this opportunity.

[mango]

Holy hell this is a great game for you guys

[Bison Loaf]

This should help recruiting, right, knowing that there will be this opportunity.

Damn right. Oregon's next 4 recruiting classes are going to be stellar! :biggrin:

[HerdThat!]

Just bought my tickets on StubHub, the guy said they're non refundable so Oregon can't buy out the of the game......

[BisonNation11]

This should help recruiting, right, knowing that there will be this opportunity.

Let's put it this way, the redshirts from this year's recruiting class (the class that hasn't even signed a LOI yet) will be seniors that year. Continued success should play more of a part though.

I suspect Kolpack will come out with an article tomorrow about how pissed Klieman is at Larsen for the distraction. :facepalm:

Per Izzo, it's a $1,000,000 buyout

https://twitter.com/DomIzzoWDAY/status/634816180079820800

[MNLonghorn10]

So fucking in. We got this. going to a game at autzen is going to kick ass


Half of that is true

[ndsubison1]

If Klieman is still here, he could probably come up with a better defensive gameplan than most FBS coaches

[NDSU1980]

Heck, by 2020 Lakes will have us moved up to FBS, so this will just be a regular game (do I even need purple?)

[Bison03]

Forum headline tomorrow should read:

DUCK VS DYNASTY!!

[ByeSonBusiness]

Well this is one I'll likely pass on going to.

Oregon is mean. If it was closer i would go

[HerdBot]

Wow I wasn't expecting this. Should be an epic game. Basically none of our current players will be on the team except the next class who redshirt will be seniors.

[MNLonghorn10]

Well this is one I'll likely pass on going to.

Oregon is mean. If it was closer i would go

wtf? NDSU is gonna get their asses kicked unless Oregon goes on sanctions...but who cares? seein them at autzen will be memorable

[BisonHorns]

USD played Oregon last year didn't they? Maybe we can study the film.

[ndsubison1]

this wont be popular, but For an extra $400K plus the $$$ made on the a make up game we could do pretty good if the Ducks bought us out.

[HandoEX]

Holy shit! This is insanity!! Someone pinch me!

[Bookem]

Well that'll make a crappy day not so bad!

[Bison_Pride]

In 5 years everyone in Oregon is gonna be so baked that this will be a cakewalk.



I'd be surprised if a certain Bison fan hasn't started a topic on one of their forums yet about the game.

[roadwarrior]

What do we wear to the game? Yellow or green?

[MNLonghorn10]

hes gotta go over the history before he starts spitting facts.

[Bisonator98]

I like it but I think they could have gotten more $. Oregon has money to burn and by 2020 $650K is only going to be worth maybe $400K right now.

Now get some games against Mizzou, Oklahoma, Arizona, etc.

[OrygunBison]

Wow, I think I'll have pretty good seats for this. Fuck me running. I wasn't expecting this.

Hopefully both teams can keep the mo. As a guy that watches every game of both programs, I've felt for years that our style of ball could have actually competed with them, at least to give them a decent scare. The 2013 Bison team might have even squeaked one out in ten. Look no further than their fits with a hard hitting Stanford.

FWIW - Tailgating in Eugene is absolutely awesome. The energy of the Bison tailgate but equally spread out over an area about 4 times the size. Plus, on September 5th, I can absolutely guarantee you fantastic weather.

[SoCalBison]

This is awesome! If the (little) big 10/12 take their balls and go home, schedule the Pac 12. Brilliant!

[Herd]

Oregon folded when OSU got physical with them last year. Oregon doesn't scare me like a lot of the other top teams in the big and sec.

[westnodak93bison]

We will probably be in the Big 12 north by then

orygunbison brought up a good point on stanford being oregons nemesis with their style of play.

wonder how the team is going to look then. lots of recruits should be taking notice to this news.

[BisonFan02]

Holy shit! This is insanity!! Someone pinch me!

Time to start building the Autzen Cruiser? :rofl:

[ZHerd]

I'm taking it hook line and sinker. Vacation 2020 getting planned around that game.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

Well this is one I'll likely pass on going to.

Oregon isn't mean, they are fast. They would rather run around you than through you.

A running clock will be our friend. If we are able to hang on to the ball all day we might be able to keep it close.

At any rate, I'm there. So fricken awesome.

[SDbison]

What do we wear to the game? Yellow or green? Both, as it doesn't matter, all of Oregon's fugly uniforms don't have basic yellow or green in them.......usually some mix of neon yellow, neon green, grey and/or black.

[bruinbison]

South Dakota played the Ducks last season. 62 - 13
Yikes! :hide:

Quick, someone do the math.....:):):)

[SDbison]

[Bison"FANatic"]

I am just curious who their first year coach is going to be in 2020.

[SDbison]

South Dakota played the Ducks last season. 62 - 13
Yikes! :hide:

Quick, someone do the math.....:):):) NDSU beat South Dakota 47 - 7 at their home field last year. I say not much difference using comparative scoring. NDSU would have played Oregon close last year. But of course, it's the mighty FBS.........NDSU would still lose by 40.

[HerdBot]

South Dakota played the Ducks last season. 62 - 13
Yikes! :hide:

Quick, someone do the math.....:):):)

Not worried. We have outscored USD 143-7 and our style of football doesn't lend to scoring 60.

NDSU vs USD 47-7 (on the road 2014)
USD vs NDSU 42-0 (home 2013)
NDSU vs USD 54-0 (sioux falls)

[Bison Loaf]

South Dakota played the Ducks last season. 62 - 13
Yikes! :hide:

Quick, someone do the math.....:):):)

That's 49 points, in Eugene! :eek:

And NDSU beat the Yotes by 40 in Vermillion. Allowing for the 3 points for home field.................that's a Bison win by 43 points over USD. So it's Oregon +49 and NDSU +43.

Yeah, that sounds about right. :)

[BadlandsBison]

This trowback one is about the closest they have to a normal looking green and yellow jersey.

[CaBisonFan]

It's a long ways off. Exciting to think about though. We'll pick up a few extra recruits because of it.

[OrygunBison]

NDSU wouldn't have had an answer for mariotta on defense. Not last year but I think the 2013 team would have, plus MM was not quite there yet in 2013. He still got pretty rattled at times back then.

I think they just scored again on USD.

shit,........Nike will have em in purple-green-yellow G-strings and striped genital by paint by then..........................oh.................. ....and hard plastic retro golf hats.

[natstar1]

a lot can change in 5 years.
2010 we were 9-5 (3-8 the year before)
Oregon was in the national title game though.

[Hammerhead]

NDSU wouldn't have had an answer for mariotta on defense.

Is Mariotta much better than Tre Roberson? Sure, ISU had some big plays in the championship game, but we still got the W.

[BisonNation11]

I'm of the belief it this game happened last year, Klieman would have spied CLJ or Beck on Mariotta.

[Jay]

Is Mariotta much better than Tre Roberson? Sure, ISU had some big plays in the championship game, but we still got the W.

Haha... short answer... Yes.

[td577]

So does this encourage our freshmen to be walking into Coach K's office and yelling "redshirt me!". Seriously, this is a nice way to break it to young men that do redshirt there are games in the future they will be needed past the ocho peat. You stay, do it our way, and you will be champions and beat Oregon.

[ZHerd]

Uh huh...they will sit there screaming some pretty jaw dropping things at their own players when they aren't dominating. I read an article by one of their former players who was shocked by what he heard one sitting for the first time as a fan

[silkamilkamonico]

Come on now, we're not that bad. Oregon's gonna love us.

They are the worst kind of fans. Spoiled, entitled, and they don't really know football at all. All they know in the college football world is that they are Oregon, everyone is inferior to them, and they beat everyone by 35+ at home. They will give NDSU 0 respect, and they won't know an ounce of NDSU's tradition. I would put money down that 90% don't even know our story the last 5+ years, with multiple Championships and FBS upsets.

Will be a fun game to watch to see how we can handle that offense.

[ZHerd]

Stanford and AZ beat them using a ground game and style similar to ours. They aren't unbeatable but if you don't play perfect the game can get completely out of hand in a matter of minutes. They are a scary team to face

Yea I remember that article too. Teams like Ohio State and other notorios classless fans at least know football and can appreciate it when it's played well if it isn't their own team. But Oregon fans don't have a clue and live in a bubble.

How is that different from every other P5 teams fans? Most don't know anything about teams outside the P5 and don't care to. Also they watch games for pure entertainment not for strategy or techniques or anthing else.

That is most fans of any program. Then you have Bisonville, where it is a different level. I forget what all the ducks have, but it is probably the pond or whatever other boards out there with hardcore fans who talk about football and college sports non-stop. There are guys from this board who have set up their DVRs to play Bison games in their home offices from when they wake up to when they go to sleep. We have Bison brothers and sisters who would subscribe to game tape services if they could. I have only watched a game more than once a couple of times in my life. I'll look for plays here and there, but my level of involvement is at probably the 88% percentile. I am guessing the norm for Bisonville is everyone here is in the top 10% with some in the insane top 2-3%. The regular fan who does not go to message boards and might be sitting next to you at the game makes up the rest. They are not necessarily uninformed, they are just there for the immediate gratification of the tailgating and game experience. A lot of those don't even watch the away games on TV between times you saw them last. Past those who actually frequent message boards, which sets people apart, average joe fan cares about their school or team only and sometimes only because someone they care about cares about the school or team.

[HerdBot]

Absolutely. Our offense is built to keep the ball away from their offense and wear down their defense. Our power running game works against anyone.

Oregons offense is all about Big Plays.
The Tampa 2 is all about preventing big plays. These big play teams don't always like to dink and dunk and get impatient. That's when deep balls are picked off, balls bounce off of hands across the middle or are overthrown into the safeties for a pick six

I say if we have a team along the same caliber as we've had we will compete. We would have to play a flawless game and have a little luck to win but it won't be a blowout. No way. I would put nothing past this team including an epic Kstate style win.

There's a lot of ifs and caveats with this statement, but I'm on the same page. Assuming both teams are playing a similar caliber of ball in 2020 as they have the past few years, I'd be surprised by a blow out. I still think NDSU would only have an outside shot to win, but any given saturday, man...

All of this. They've pretty much convinced themselves they've won the national championship for the last 15 years.

[OrygunBison]

Fuck you, Mont. You're just a closet Husky fan...

Seriously, though. After Frisco last year, I went to Jerry's World and watched the UO/OSU game. That experience really woke up and sobered up a lot of Duck fans. Not only to their team's performance, but also their fandom, and their shitty band. I absolutely hate the Buckeyes but those dudes showed that they traveled well and can make a place their own home. It was certainly impressive. Almost any Duck fan that I talk to that was at the game speaks very humbly these days.

If we have a team, and especially defense, the caliber of 12,13 I wouldn't say anything is impossible. An awful lot can change in 5 years. One thing is for sure, this year and next years recruiting classes will be incredibly important.

[td577]

I hope both schools are on the same arc they are on now. One thing the top ten schools have outside of the rest of the country is absolute deadly speed up and down the roster. Yes, crazy speed, but it is real crazy speed. The one thing NDSU has done better than anyone consistently outside the top 20 schools in the nation is recruit disciplined football players who know how to embrace a system and maximize their potential within that system. If both schools are in similar places they are today, it will be speed vs. technique. Keep their offense off the field, play smashmouth disciplined football, and a lot of good things can happen. Until then there is a lot of business to take care of.

[OrygunBison]

On September 12, 2020, Oregon plays Ohio State in Eugene.

[Tatanka]

On September 12, 2020, Oregon plays Ohio State in Eugene.


So that's the easy game to balance their OOC schedule. That's good planning.

[ZHerd]

Also, keep an eye on the Duck vs WY rematch. Wyoming playes them again I believe in 2017 and that may give us an indicator of sorts. Last years Wyoming blowout really didn't, NDSU would have been a considerably more competitive opponent last year than WY was. I'd expect WY to be playing an improved caliber of ball by 2017

[BisoninNWMN]

5 years is a long way off but I will have to make this one.

If the Bison play the same style of ground and pound, they will be in the game.

[Jude3]

Wow! I'm stoked we got a big name FBS game for the future! I gotta say, as excited as I am about this game, the match up worries me. Remember when Taiwan Jones destroyed our D? Try facing a team that is FILLED with that kind of athleticism. Or think back to when Oregon played Kansas State in the Fiesta bowl (2012?), it began with a sprint straight to the endzone for an Oregon TD and they never looked back. Don't get me wrong, I think NDSU can (and will) show up to play with pride, but it will be an extremely difficult game with all odds stacked against us. The other thing that worries me is how we love to rotate our players to keep them fresh. I'm not sure our guys will be able to do that if plays are being snapped within a few seconds of the last play. As tough as the game will be, I'm absolutely positive that regardless of the outcome, I will be as proud of the Herd as I've ever been. That's what makes being a Bison fan so great.

[HerdBot]

If we have a team, and especially defense, the caliber of 12,13 I wouldn't say anything is impossible. An awful lot can change in 5 years. One thing is for sure, this year and next years recruiting classes will be incredibly important.

Here's the guys who would play Oregon, assuming they all redshirt. Hey we know they are big enough. We got 4 olineman, 2 TEs, a QB and a running back. Got 2 linebackers and a DE. Need more players dammit!


Verbals:
Shaun Beyer, 6-5, 210, TE, Shellsburg (John F. Kennedy), IA
Henry Van Dellen, 6-4, 200, QB, Plymouth (Providence Academy), MN
Ben Hecht, 6-5, 260, OL, Shawnee (Mill Valley), KS
Gabe Lloyd, 6-5, 220, DE/TE, Green Bay (Northeastern Wisconsin Lutheran), WI
Braydon Lund, 6-4, 230, DE/TE, Minot, ND
Ross Kennelly, 6-0, 190, OLB, Superior, WI
Moses Nyangacha, 6-0, 190, S, Minneapolis (Robbinsdale Cooper), MN
Dillon Radunz, 6-6, 265, OL, Becker, MN
Karson Schoening, 6-5, 300, OL, Rolla (North Prairie), ND
Bryce Torneden, 5-10, 185, ATH, Lawrence (Free State), KS
Cordell Volson, 6-6, 250, OL, Balfour (Drake-Anamoose), ND

I hope both schools are on the same arc they are on now. One thing the top ten schools have outside of the rest of the country is absolute deadly speed up and down the roster. Yes, crazy speed, but it is real crazy speed. The one thing NDSU has done better than anyone consistently outside the top 20 schools in the nation is recruit disciplined football players who know how to embrace a system and maximize their potential within that system. If both schools are in similar places they are today, it will be speed vs. technique. Keep their offense off the field, play smashmouth disciplined football, and a lot of good things can happen. Until then there is a lot of business to take care of.

And they force a ton of turnovers. How many times did Ohio State turn the ball over? Like 5? And didn't FSU do the same?

[HerdBot]

Wow! I'm stoked we got a big name FBS game for the future! I gotta say, as excited as I am about this game, the match up worries me. Remember when Taiwan Jones destroyed our D? Try facing a team that is FILLED with that kind of athleticism. Or think back to when Oregon played Kansas State in the Fiesta bowl (2012?), it began with a sprint straight to the endzone for an Oregon TD and they never looked back. Don't get me wrong, I think NDSU can (and will) show up to play with pride, but it will be an extremely difficult game with all odds stacked against us. The other thing that worries me is how we love to rotate our players to keep them fresh. I'm not sure our guys will be able to do that if plays are being snapped within a few seconds of the last play. As tough as the game will be, I'm absolutely positive that regardless of the outcome, I will be as proud of the Herd as I've ever been. That's what makes being a Bison fan so great.

I remember the speed of Taiwan Jones definitely caught us by suprise but when we adjusted we contained him fairly easily. The 2010 defense was just the start of a string.of great defenses. Younger and definitely not as fast as our current teams.

[El_Chapo]

In 5 years everyone in Oregon is gonna be so baked that this will be a cakewalk.



I'd be surprised if a certain Bison fan hasn't started a topic on one of their forums yet about the game.

Wow I wasn't expecting this. Should be an epic game. Basically none of our current players will be on the team except the next class who redshirt will be seniors.

Good point.


How is that different from every other P5 teams fans? Most don't know anything about teams outside the P5 and don't care to. Also they watch games for pure entertainment not for strategy or techniques or anthing else.

What the hell are you talking about?

Yeah man. The best team we've had barely beat K State.... The best K State team in awhile got their shit pushed in by Oregon. I think anyone EXPECTING a game will likely be sadly mistaken.* obviously anything can happen but that's the type of game I just don't want to get completely skullfucked in, and if for whatever reason it's competitive then that's amazing for the players.

*this assumes both teams remain similar to now

[HerdBot]

I don't want to look at thr box score because it's a repressed memory. OK I checked. He had 130 yards in the first 2 drives alone. (Both long runs) He finished with 230 yards and his last run was in the first drive of the 4th quarter. Take off his 2 longest runs and it's not quite as bad. It's like 100 yards on 18 carries. Still though the dude ran a 4.33 at the nfl combine on a bad ankle. Taiwan Jones ran one of thr fastest times in recent combine history, I doubt Oregon would have tons of guys THAT fast. They are obviously super fast though

K state might have been a lot better team that year. That fourth quarter drive was as demoralizing as it gets. They might have been questioning themselves the rest of the season. There are a lot of schools that go in the tank after playing the Bison, their's just happened the first week. It's the Bison effect and it's real.

Seriously, if the Bison are playing football in five years like they have the past few years, they will find a way to keep the game from getting too out of hand. Generally in football the better team wins but sometimes the perfect storm happens and the perfect game plan falls in place. They are a perennial top 10 team though and that does put them in a different stratosphere but the bottom line it is still 11 guys vs. 11 guys on the field with an oblong shaped ball that takes funny bounces. I have always thought the Bison could be competitive with anyone ranked 15 on out, so it will be interesting to see what the ground and pound style of Bison football will do against 15 on in. Lastly, a couple more high profile games will certainly help recruiting so we may not have seen the best Bison team yet.

You think the Bison are going to get their assses handed to them like USD last year? No frickin way.

Oregon has trouble with Stanford and their power running game. Ya, the Bison might lose but no way will they get blown out.

Well as long as this silly argument is already happening...NDSU has already earned the right to be respected across college football but they have not earned the right to be feared by a team like Oregon. Oregon has earned the right to be respected and feared by pretty much everyone. To some degree however, it has to be maintained each season. Now use your fan powers and go get the rabbits to earn a degree national respect by beating the Jayhawks.

I've known a number of Oregonians themselves who have left your state, Eugene specifically, and they told me that the moment they crossed south of the Oregon border, it was like entering a whole new and better world. So one doesn't have to be from out-of-state to recognize the social/political/economic pitifulness of your state, many who live there know it as well.

We enjoyed our 19 years in Oregon and there are far more people moving up from California than the other way around. The Willamette valley is the main farming area as it's mostly flat so it's not the most scenic drive -- not much different than driving from Wahpeton to Grand Forks only there are hills off in the distance and a few volcanoes you can see on a clear day.

Like many others, I moved out of CA a few years ago, so I'm not here to throw in any plugs for CA either. The State of Oregon has a long history of being an "unwelcoming" state to anyone with an out-of-state license plate. I first learned of it 30 years ago, and I don't think it has changed any. The previous poster is emblematic of that attitude. Out-of-staters don't go into Oregon with a chip on their shoulder, they leave Oregon with a chip on their shoulder.

Fact is, if you go into it with a shitty attitude, you may well have that in response. If, like most people, you come here with respect and a great, fun disposition, you will have the time of your life.

Oregon has some of the most diverse scenic environments in the country. Like everywhere else, you are not going to see the good stuff from the freeway. Just drive Hwy 101 on the coast, or get off I-5 near Ashland and drive the Applegate Valley's wine country. Cross one of a dozem mountain passes over the Cascades. Raft a dozen different world class rivers. Ski world class terrain at Mt. Bachelor. Shit, ski in August. Go to a game at Autzen...where they love football and are great hosts unless you're a Husky, Trojan, or Beaver fan. Climb the most popular major mountain climbing peak in America and then visit a dozen breweries or distilleries that night. Sleep in a yurt at a state campground on the coast. Look down into an 8,000 foot deep canyon. Windsurf with a few hundred of your closest friends in the Columbia River Gorge. Visit an actual rain forest. Take in a half dozen play at the Shakespeare Festival. Go to a club and see ground breaking music any night of the week. Visit 75 named waterfalls with 40 miles of Portland.

And, yeah, smoke the weed legally.

Fact is, you don't really know shit about this place so you should keep your fucking thoughts to yourself. Focus on something that you actually know something about and please don't hesitate to take Oregon off of your future travel plans.

As for the rest of you, let me know what you want to see and I will gladly help you gain some knowledge. It is a great place and we will love to show it off to you.

I don't want to look at thr box score because it's a repressed memory. OK I checked. He had 130 yards in the first 2 drives alone. (Both long runs) He finished with 230 yards and his last run was in the first drive of the 4th quarter. Take off his 2 longest runs and it's not quite as bad. It's like 100 yards on 18 carries. Still though the dude ran a 4.33 at the nfl combine on a bad ankle. Taiwan Jones ran one of thr fastest times in recent combine history, I doubt Oregon would have tons of guys THAT fast. They are obviously super fast though

So in actuality we didn't---""when we adjusted we contained him fairly easily"". Just wanted to clarify that. :biggrin:

[ndsubison1]

Is Mariotta much better than Tre Roberson? Sure, ISU had some big plays in the championship game, but we still got the W.

Umm yes. Oregon has athletes everywhere. We let Iowa St put up a quick 14 on us. If that were the Ducks they would've ran away with it.

[Bison 4 Life]

No it won't. It's game week starting tomorrow, this will fall to the back soon enough.

Thank you for reconfirming my opinion of Oregon. It is people like you that make it the gawd awful place that it is. I've known a number of Oregonians themselves who have left your state, Eugene specifically, and they told me that the moment they crossed south of the Oregon border, it was like entering a whole new and better world. So one doesn't have to be from out-of-state to recognize the social/political/economic pitifulness of your state, many who live there know it as well.


Here we go again................

CAS, Longhorn, care to weigh in? :biggrin:

[56BISON73]

In your earlier email, you indicated that you just completed your first visit. Above, you discuss 30 years of supposed knowledge. Clearly, you made your mind prior to your visit. I liken your experience to so many others that visit places like New York or Paris and complain about the people there. Fact is, if you go into it with a shitty attitude, you may well have that in response. If, like most people, you come here with respect and a great, fun disposition, you will have the time of your life.

Oregon has some of the most diverse scenic environments in the country. Like everywhere else, you are not going to see the good stuff from the freeway. Just drive Hwy 101 on the coast, or get off I-5 near Ashland and drive the Applegate Valley's wine country. Cross one of a dozem mountain passes over the Cascades. Raft a dozen different world class rivers. Ski world class terrain at Mt. Bachelor. Shit, ski in August. Go to a game at Autzen...where they love football and are great hosts unless you're a Husky, Trojan, or Beaver fan. Climb the most popular major mountain climbing peak in America and then visit a dozen breweries or distilleries that night. Sleep in a yurt at a state campground on the coast. Look down into an 8,000 foot deep canyon. Windsurf with a few hundred of your closest friends in the Columbia River Gorge. Visit an actual rain forest. Take in a half dozen play at the Shakespeare Festival. Go to a club and see ground breaking music any night of the week. Visit 75 named waterfalls with 40 miles of Portland.

And, yeah, smoke the weed legally.

Fact is, you don't really know shit about this place so you should keep your fucking thoughts to yourself. Focus on something that you actually know something about and please don't hesitate to take Oregon off of your future travel plans.

As for the rest of you, let me know what you want to see and I will gladly help you gain some knowledge. It is a great place and we will love to show it off to you.

I lived in Oregon for just over a year. I loved it. Lived in Canyon City and worked in John Day. They call that area the high desert. Hunting and fishing all over the place. When I was there they still had real cowboys there. Saw some cattle drives right through the middle of town. Spent a lot of time in Bend.
Like any place to take away what you put in to it..

I didn't know that. Did you ever float the John Day and/or fish it? I have done it dozens of times. The canyon is wonderful if a bit dry. Lots to see geologically. One of my good friends and rafting buddies from MSP brought his girlfriend out here for a river trip and proposed to her on the top of the canyon.

BTW - You might not even recognize Bend. 84,000 people live there now.

Did most of my fishing in the Snake River Canyon on the east side of Oregon not to far from Baker. Did some other fishing on some mountain lakes outside of Prairie City and a couple out side of Bend. Bend was a great place to go for the weekend. The food and people were great.

It's kind of funny that one day your just a college student watching a football game. Next minute your on the drudge report and when things finally cool down your on espn college gameday. Lol

Someone needs to find this kid and invite him to Fargo and buy him a few beers.

[MNLonghorn10]

I think he's had fun with it, but it's been 2 years now. Time to hopefully find a new victim next week.

The K State kid was a Facebook celebrity of sorts before he was the K State kid.

He's one of the Peterson brothers that make the farming parody music videos that you see every now and then.

I ran into an Oregon fan this morning at breakfast and had a great visit with him. First thing he said was aren't you guys green and gold too?

I told him to be sure to tune into our game on ESPN. Great guy who knew a lot about football and quite a bit about the Bison.

Really happy for this game. If we are going to play an FCS school, it is nice to play a powerhouse. Reading this thread, it is nice to see the confidence of your fan base--if you're gonna play the game, play it to win!

Hopefully, you will get a chance to make it to the game. I am sure you will be treated well and offered a lot of food and beverages.

So you've never been to Mile High Stadium then? CU has a pretty awesome stadium and CSU is building a new one on campus, but when these two teams play, they play at Mile High.

I can't speak about how great Autzen is or not, but of all the college stadiums I've been to, none have yet to give me a "wow, this unbelievable" reaction.

No I havent been to mile high...but with your location, I can see why youre being an advocate to have the game played there.

Im excited for Autzens atmosphere. you lose a lot of that moving into a huge NFL stadium

Especially modern NFL stadiums, where the seating areas are broken up by suites and club areas filled with knitters.

I've been to 40 or 50 games at Autzen. It is pretty cool. The fans are crazy and there are no knitters. It reminds me of a larger Washington-Griz Stadium for those that were there. The other thing about Autzen is the game day lead-up. Take the Bison tailgate - which is pretty damn good in my personal direct comparison with many larger college programs such as Michigan, Washington, Michigan State, Ohio State - and multiply it by, let's say, 4 or 5. Tailgating often goes longer as well since the Ducks often play night games.

In regards to atmosphere, I will agree college football is a lot better than the NFL.

And a large portion of their fans drive 100 miles from the Portland area and I'm sure some do some warming up on the way.

Anybody's guess how many NDSU fans make it to this game? Let's assume plenty of tickets at a reasonable price are available........3,000 or less.......around 5,000.......7,000 plus? Will NDSU get an allotment of tickets and about how many? Should be lots of demand since it will be 4 years since last FBS game. Wife and I plan to make a vacation trip out of it.

I'm guessing total attendance might be around what it was at Iowa since we pretty low in the priority points world and still got tickets from NDSU's allotment. We are planning to attend and visit some friends in Oregon and maybe head down to California if we have enough vacation time for a longer trip.

I would expect the distance will reduce travel numbers by a third so should be about 5000 or so.

I dont miss the FBS games. Will likely fly to Seattle and drive down, maybe make it a tues-sunday affair. Haven't been to either state. We met some Washington state alums randomly at an ndsu tailgate this last year and exchanged numbers...will see if they want to make the trek down to cheer on ndsu vs Oregon.
