Ok, after watching Midco piece, I want Beth Hoole and Kelly Stewart doing our pregame. They can talk about Bison football or peso devaluation, I don't care.

Sorry, Alex E. , you can do sideline. Ryan G. can do the post game radio.

I just want more Beth and Kelly. That's all I have to say about that.

100% agree with this.

[Professor Chaos]

I think the Bison will struggle a bit to score in conditions that aren't conducive to passing and against a surprisingly good Indiana St run defense. But this means the Trees have an absolute brutal time offensively. Bison win 27-6.

[StL Bison Fan]

Nice grouping of tailgaters here so far. More on the way

[17>1]

Absolutely love Bison game day! Set the tone physically and punch them in the mouth. Win the turnover margin, win the TOP, win the day.

Yup, best run D we have faced this season. Will our offense take what they give us? May need to throw early to loosen up the run game. They keep it close early, Bville gets testy, then we pull away.

[HerdistheWord]

Stick's development keeps impressing me each game. He is already better as a passer than I thought he would be this year.

[SoCalBison]

If the Trees start connecting on those long passes, they could be dangerous.

[Jay]

Need to tackle better. (Captain Obvious statement)

I hate to sound like Lakes, but this game really feels "small time". Just sayin'.

It kind of has the feel of a scrimmage game so far.

[BFKasper14]

Pass to set up the run. Trust Stick. The first drive was a thing of beauty because we were passing downfield. We were too cute in the second drive. And there’s Shepherd making the 12 yard catch. Don’t play into their strength.

Why are they running so much shotgun? There have only been like 3 plays from under center..

That was an awkward tackle on Stick...

[Bisonator98]

That's what Stick seems most comfortable with, he's a read option QB.

[RonMexico]

Love how Timmerman doesn't know what he is talking about. Wentz was on the left side and ran right across. He didn't make any attempt at blocking or looking like a blocker..

[EC8CH]

Did they just say recovered by university of ND?!

[RonMexico]

Sounded like he was starting to say it but caught himself ...he said "recovered by Uni....North Dakota...

[HerdistheWord]

Want the domination to continue, but the injuries can stop now.

[SoCalBison]

No need to win by attrition.

And Lee just called The QB Urzendowski. Seriously, has he ever watched a bison game ever....

[1st&TennBison]

Despite the score, the defense is missing a lot of tackles.

[Hammersmith]

Holy missed tackles, Batman.

[1st&TennBison]

3 missed tackles on that last pass play alone

[Jay]

Terrible tackling team. Wrap up for christ sakes.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Bison defense is generally playing stupid and incompetent today.

[Gully]

Keep your head up and wrap your arms! ugh.

Our defensive strength (tackling) has taken a back seat to ISU-B costing itself with turnovers. A bad ISU offense has been our savior today.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

Do our D backs know how to tackle?

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Isu trying to give us a couple more TD's but we wouldn't accept them.

[GOBISON123]

Tackling by our DBacks has been our achiles heel since last year. We let lot of teams get back in the game due to this problem. This is a big issue.

[perthbison]

I know of at least one backup who didn't make the trip. Did they travel with less players to save on expenses since this is a gimme game?

[HerdistheWord]

Even with the lack of competition so far, this team seems strides above last year's team in terms of offenses. Defense seems to be forcing more turnovers, but also has had some tackling concerns.

[DakotaOkie]

The truly sad thing about this game is that it is quite certain that the Bison scout team played tougher than this scrimmage. It is going to be hard on the heart when a real game happens to break out (starting next week perhaps).

Enjoy the run as it continues. Remember, nothing lasts forever. Ask Yale, SMU, etc.

[SoCalBison]

5-0 after some cupcakes feels pretty good. Tough games ahead, but the team has had a chance to get some swagger, get the backups some game time experience, and get the running game tuned up. Overall, I'm thinking this could work out better than having tough non-conference games followed by tough conference games. Agree that we're still relatively fresh, which should be helpful for the second half of the season. Go Bison!

That was some terrible tackling by NDSU, but #6 LeMonte Booker is an excellent RB and Pugh is a very good WR.

You're adorable.

How many NCAA tournament games has Indiana St won since 2009? How many NCAA tournaments have they even made since then? Hint: It's less than NDSU for both.

Oh, and end of season RPI last year: NDSU - 108, Indiana St - 233. So you're right there probably would be a beatdown similar to yesterday's game if we played in basketball. Sad thing is NDSU is a football school and is still better over the last few years in basketball than Indiana St is. You keep fapping to that Larry Legend statue though.

Maybe you should quit talking so much smack and go down town and thank the city of Fargo for building a stadium for you. Yes our stadium sucks but at least we own one.

How’s the Sycamores’ wrestling team doing these days?

Not much has been talked about them since my company’s president graduated from there.

I want to know if he is actually a fan of their sad football program or just feels obligated to defend them due to his completely non-platonic love for Larry Bird.

Got it figured out. By accessing his communication skills this little tool has to be in Jr HS. With that thought in mind everything just looks great to him as he has no real life reference. Even Terre Haute is a paradise to this iget..

Learn to spell. Anyway boys and girls, it's been fun chatting with you tonight, but unlike most people in north Dakota, I have a very good paying job I have to go to tomorrow. I think I will get some sleep. Good luck the rest of the season.

So we have an actual Sycamore troll?

Btw, the wage thing is hilarious..lol good smack

[bisonp]

Face it, your basketball team plays in a bush league. Yes you might be able to beat Omaha but I doubt you would have much success in the Valley. Of course we will never know since you won't be invited.

Well I know one Valley team we'd have success against.

2017 NCAA Basketball final RPI:

NDSU: 110
Indiana State: 234

This guy is precious. I don't think I've ever seen a troll from a worse school. A masochist, perhaps.

[BisonLaw]

The losses of Creighton and Wichita State have made the MVC a mediocre basketball conference. Ironically, the last time you beat either of those teams was the year we let you win in Fargo. 11-20 last year in Terre Haute. At least basketball is trending up...:bowdown:

It's called little dick syndrome. There were a few Richmond fans with similar diagnoses, especially in reference to the $$$ part.

North Dakota has a higher economic output per capita than most states. Why don't you just crawl back to Pawnee and give Leslie a big old kiss.

Richmond has had quite a lot more, and more recent success than the trees.

Ugliest stadium in the Valley, goes well with your football stadium. Im sure all other Valley members are thrilled youre apart of the conference since your teams are basically worthless in everything since Larry Bird.

Not as many seats as your shit basketball arena. But at least its all brand new. and the team has won a NCAA tournament game this decade.

This Sycamoretuff dude is clearly trolling you guys (coming from another ISUb fan), but you really can't possibly believe that your basketball arena is better than ours. It can't be that hard to have all new stuff in your arena when all you have to do is order some new retractable bleachers, plus your arena is pretty small.

We also have plans in the very near future to spend 50 million dollars upgrading our facility. The yellow and orange seats in the upper level are going to be replaced with blue seats and they are wanting to add luxury boxes and install new lighting etc.

Our football stadium sucks. It's not on campus and just has seats on one side. No one can argue that our football stadium is better than yours because it's not even close.

The biggest thing NDSU has going for them in football is that you don't have Big Ten schools all around you, so recruiting is easier for you guys in a way. Like with us we have IU, Purdue, Ball State, and Illinois all in our general area. Then people in Terre Haute care more about IU and Purdue than they do ISU and both schools are only an hour and a half from Terre Haute. For you guys its a 3.5 hr drive to the U of Minnesota and with them generally being terrible and NDSU being really good it's a pretty easy choice for most people I think. The environment at the Fargodome has to be really fun to be at. Sitting at a half empty stadium in Terre Haute getting beat by everyone isn't that great for most people.

I just wish in football we could consistently win around 5-7 games each year. I'm also tired of us losing our coach every 3 years and then winning 0-1 games in the new coach's first season. I think we'll be better next year, but this year has definitely been frustrating.

As far as NDSU joing the MVC, I think you guys would be a great add (along with SDSU), but with Murray State begging to get in adding NDSU just doesn't make much sense. Murray State has been traditionally pretty good at basketball and with them having football it makes more sense to add someone that is more in our region than to do clear up to the Dakotas. Since the MVC wants to go to 12 though I'm not sure who the best #12 option would be. Oral Roberts makes the most sense to me even if they have struggled the past couple of years. Although I'm sure most of you don't really care about the MVC's issues.

Like I said, it's good you got into the MVC 40 years ago.

[MNLonghorn10]

all NDSU did was order some retractable bleachers? Lmao ok. New seats(leather, logo embroided seats), new video board, new court, new lights, entirely new outside, new concourse, new lobby, new everything.

I said it was smaller, yours is still an ugly eye sore, and your team is still not as good as NDSUs...and I thought NDSU sucked last year.

[ndsubison1]

That looks like the Minot State Dome

So ISU is recruiting Big Ten kids? And you are correct the MVC has issues, they going backwards thinking small, Murray st is not that good of an addition and neither was Valpo

This. For a basketball school, they're not very good at basketball.

It is where what little money they have seems to go if that matters. All I know is I hope we don't have to return to Terre Haute until 2021. I'm sure the stadium will be the same, but hopefully the team has improved.

They're a basketball school for the same reason SDSU is a basketball school.

[Christopher Moen]

Just got back from a road trip and rewatched the first half of the game. Two things that stood out to me and weren't mention:

1) Cam Pederson kicked pretty good with all the wind, including the kick-offs where the ball bounced out-of-bounds inside the five.
2) MVFC Umpires cannot get out of Easton's way. Like multiple times last year, Easton ran into an Umpire, only this time the Umpire gave him a double stiff-arm.

One minor thing, NDSU gets a sack on a play where Indiana State's offense gets called for holding. Anyone else surprised the Bison accepted the penalty and therefore erased the sack from the stat book? I think it moved the Sycamores back six yards while providing them an extra play. My guess is that the coaches wanted to give the defense more reps.

Yeah, I was surprised by the penalty choice over declining it and keeping the sack. Thought we would see the effort on a good pass rush rewarded. Who got that sack? Remember it as a nice play, but can’t remember who did it.

Derek Tuszka

Well, good job DT.
DTuszka did get credit for another sack, kind of an Everson Griffin style sack. Good power, good bend, get the right leverage on the LT type sack (a senior LT iirc).
