[Rockbear99]

Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles
the tree trunk
This law is the final word:
For the strength of the Herd
is the Bison
And the strength of the Bison
is the Herd.

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Happy Gameday, Everyone!

We sing this every Bison touchdown..
Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison
With their tails up in the air
University, University
You can kiss what's under there!

Forget January 1...this is the true beginning to a New Year...Bison Football opener. Today doesn't quite have the punch of the Montana opener with Musberger calling the game, but I can't wait to see our fight to reclaim The Throne.

Change Devils - 0

Bison bison - 73

[Strategery]

Oh boy! It's gameday, ladies and gentlemem!

This one should be about 77-0. But it wouldn't surprise me if klieman takes his foot off the gas and it's only 56-0.

The real questions are, if/when MVSU will get past the 50, how many negative yards will they have, and how many 1st downs will they get.

[A1pigskin]

Bison will have this game sewn up by half time. Good opportunity for 2nd string to get reps.

[Schwarz04]

BISON 51
Mvsu 9

I wonder why the change today. It will be fun to watch the younger guys get reps. Excited to see how those guys perform

[NFH Schlüssel]

Sorry, I forgot to put up my Bison flag this morning... it's almost 4:30pm here... I still have time.

[LongLostAlum]

Nice to have another season underway. The numbers 44-13 are spinning around in my head, so that's what I'll go with. Bison winning of course.

[Christopher Moen]

I predict the starters are done after going up by 25. After that, the Bison score about another 25.

It will be a blowout win, but not to point that it embarrasses the other team from ever wanting to accept this game.

Stay hungry and healthy Bison, and focus on executing every play.

Ok, good, so it's not just me then. I think the sync thing is all of ESPN right now on the streaming stuff. I was watching MSU and Mizzou, which is a SEC Network broadcast, but uses WatchESPN.com for online streaming. They also had audio about 1-2 seconds behind the video. The choppyness seems to be only on you guys' game though.

[THEsocalledfan]

Pull the starters?

[tony]

Mine is choppy, but sync is ok.

I think the choppiness is on espn because I'm watching on game plan and the "no game in process" sound was choppy. Sync is probably on them too.

Wish I could blame the penalties on them too.

Thanks ESPN3, missed Van Dellen's TD

[mvfcfan]

Stony Brook just tied the game against #19 South Florida 17-17 with 13:04 to go in the 4th Q. That would be a huge upset. I've been watching the game and I'm not convinced USF is actually that good.

[MinotBison]

Nice job Henry!

ESPN3 sucks balls so bad.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm going to have to go into the category that there's nothing to gain by playing shitty teams. They don't know how to do anything and get our guys hurt.

Yeah, that's for sure. It was very dysfunctional today, at multiple levels.

JMU is up 7-0 over ECU too.

Edited to add: Looks like South Florida just went up 24-17.

[DCinOK]

From what I saw today, I do hope that Ty Brooks is used as much more than a "3rd running back." He needs to play a major role in our offense...the kid was ridiculous.

I agree, there just isn't anything to be gained from games like this. We'd be better off just having an open slot on the schedule if we can't find a better team than this to play.

I left home as Purifoy was on the turf. Whats his status?

Where was Colfield? Figured he would get carries. Especially after Purifoy went down.

Also didn't see much Dom Davis?

#77 McCormick and #35 Hayes played as true freshman.

So what does everyone think? Really hard to get a feel after a "game" like that.

Seemed to me like the team was sloppy. A lot penalties. I come away underwhelmed by a couple guys I had high hopes for, Engel and Cain. RBs looked good, first string o-line dominated like they should've.

That was a corner. Trey Fort and Dom Davis injuries had more to do with that. Brown means Hendricks may see more reps.

[EC8CH]

Engel and Cain didn't show up much but in a game like that and playing mostly with the two and threes I wouldn't be too quick to judge. Would like to see Engel be more physical off the line though.

I don't know, we didn't really even run much of an offense. It is hard for me to take anything meaningful out of that game. Sucks that some guys got hurt, always seems like these are the games that bite us from an injury standpoint.

He had a couple of big time blocks on the corners that resulted in long runs and tough to get in a flow in a game like that.

[Scooter1]

1. Tough luck award goes to Bruce Anderson. Every time he had a great run it was called back.

2. Does RJ have a cloaking device on his uniform making him invisible to safeties? Wow, he got open...often.

3. Jeopardy...This team had negative yards going into half-time and no first downs vs NDSU.

Who is MVSU?.....Incorrect.... We were looking for

WHO ARE THE FIGHTING HAWKS.

4. The offensive line has a lot of options.

5. The DL is deeeep.

6. NDSU should never play MVSU again.

No doubt. New additions at WR are definitely still a wait and see situation.

[tolnabison]

I know it was against MVSU, but I think we got something in Hendricks at safety.

Definitely made the biggest flash of the new additions. Looked good in coverage and coming up in run support against an atrocious team. Hope he continues to look that good against better competition. Saw some flashes of Heagle during those TFLs. Everyone's gotta love that.

I thought # 20 Harper was very athletic for MVSU. He could easily play for a lot more FCS programs

[BisonTeacher]

There were a lot of blowouts today. Psu, Oregon, Oklahoma, Clemson. It's non conference. Not every game can be against a contender. Jeez.

I actually felt sorry for them. :facepalm:

Include Wyoming in that list , those Cowpokes lost bigly to Hawkeyes. They scored 3 points with that potentially 1st round draft pick QB.

To be egotistical what's the Erik hatch deal? With all the fan fair is it 1k a point?

Good Lord that post tailgate hangover was worse than normal. At least Moes wasn't busy when we left at halftime

I think they said it was $500/touchdown although they seemed to stop at $4,000.

[offroader613]

Its $500 per touchdown, just like the Xcel Energy thing they had a few years ago. Don't think there's a limit, may have just had numbers mixed up or something

[HerdBot]

Game thoughts.

Weak ass opponent but at least we didn't play down to the level of competition. It was quite obvious we would have kicked ass even against a good opponent.

First team offense can run the football like men. Dillon Radunz and Connor on the left side is pretty special. Hope Radunz isn't dinged too bad. Unless I missed something, my gut says he could play if necessary but wouldn't be surprised if we hold him out next week and then let it rest for a bye and our next cup cake home game. That would be 4 weeks


Defense looked like a typical Bison defense.

Special teams were horrible, everything from penalties to kick coverage to punt returns to field goals. Coach Austin has his work cut out. Can't judge our punter since I don't remember him punting

[AKBison]

We need Dillon next week, hopefully he is healthy enough to go.

[DCinOK]

I actually felt sorry for them. :facepalm:

I did too...and sympathy for an opponent is not something my system usually has to deal with.

So yeah, if he goes out of business I'd be freaking ecstatic.

About special teams, Bison blocking on punts was terrifyingly awful. If they weren't (almost) getting hit by punts, they were running into their own returner... except when they did both.
About MVSU WRs: Freakishly bad at catching the ball.
About our fullbacks: They're awesome.
About Stick: His QBR was 400... so that was good.
About RBs/OL: Looked good.

Penalties... bad.

Well according to Massey ratings. Dickinson state (NAIA) and MSUM (Division 2) would be favored by 20+ points against them.

How many yards per punt did their punter have?

Some of the special teams problem was that punter didn't seem to be able to punt the ball 20 yards.

Mississippi valley state should be good at returning kicks they must do it like 20 times a game.

[DCinOK]

I wonder how many times in the History of Football a team has received a delay of game penalty before the first kickoff in the first game of the season?!

The winner of the fifty-fifty raffle took home over 23-grand. She was introduced as Libby Koonce. Jackson Koonce's parents are listed as Mark and Libby Koonce of Oceanside, California. It seems probable that the Bison punter's mom pocketed a nice chunk of change. I'd say that makes up for her kid being about the only Bison player who never got into the game.

Jackson kicked off three times

Is that frowned upon by the NCAA?

I know its really hard to judge based on Saturday's game. But any take aways from our offensive scheme and play calling? The only take away I had was it seemed like we lined up more in the I Saturday than we did the last two years combined. Was it just me or was I just looking for that?

Hard to take anything away from that game. Weren't going to show much offensively. Run basic stuff and let out dominance show
