Bison do Bison things and win this with halftime adjustments and get the win. Culhane enjoys Mccomb more than usual.

27-13

[KTF]

I wouldn't be surprised if WIU came out with the same plan as UNI last week. Abandoning the run and throwing almost exclusively... Their qb seems more capable than Dunne... Wiu's points will come early. Bison run game is too strong for WIU to handle... bison score late and often...

[BisonTeacher]

Hmmm...this thread was 21 minutes late. Better have a good excuse, or my superstition anxiety will be off the chart all day. :)

Flag is up.
Gameday shirt on.
Stumplifter poured.

Let's go Bison!!!

Gonna go watch some Bison LAX today before the football game. They play the Gophers. I may be the only Bison fan there, but that's ok. The team might think...who is this lunatic? I'll try to post a pic.

[WFBisonFan]

I have a feeling that last week's game (quarters 1-3) have our Bison motivated to not let that happen today. WIU can and will probably move the ball through the air, but our offense will bludgeon them with whatever they want to. I anticipate a very lopsided TOP in our favor. With Shep's last 2 games where he was a standout in the passing game, my belief is Ellefson and Jenson have big days.

when you think of pud, whats the first thing that pops into your head?









For me its western illinois. its the forgotten directional school in that entire state. nobody cares or knows where it is. Northern Illinois gave us Tony Romo. Eastern? Jimmy G. Southern? the great Dale Lennon.

the hell have these guys done to be on the same field as NDSU? Play ugly defensive basketball to make the games close?

fuck em. this game is a waste of everybody's time and should have never been scheduled.

[Rock]

Bison 38-17 slow start in a night game. The Oline does what they do.

D looks “average” by this groups standard today because they are saving creative blitz schemes until they need them or the playoffs and the D Line respects the screen. Ends up not getting as much pressure.

Today's late start is messing with my mojo. (At least, what little I have left). Bison play even for a quarter, pull away quickly, then let the backups get some game experience in the second half. NDSU wins, 49-14.

Without a doubt. KVLY could be much better, but as far as FCS goes its one of the better broadcasts

[SoCalBison]

Oline seemed a bit slow on that posession.

[SDbison]

What are the Bison lineman wearing on their feet. Concrete blocks? That is terrible footwork. Getting beat due to slow as molasses footwork.

[Bison03]

Once I again I ask, why pass when we can run the ball ao well?!!

[SDbison]

Once I again I ask, why pass when we can run the ball ao well?!! These guys are way better against the run D and their passing D sucks.

A lot of green ahead of Dunn if they hook up on that screen.

[NDSUBowler]

These announcers and production is trash. On the FG they didnt show a single shot of how long fg was and they didnt once say how long a fg it was.

They just throw it to whoever Hendricks is matched up on. I can't blame them I guess!

Roughing the QB?, roughing the snapper? WTF Bison D? Undisciplined and getting their ass handed to them. Just garbage.

This starting slow crap by the Bison has got to stop. This is getting old and its on the coaches and players. So tired of the first play of the game being a dive for 0.5 yard.

A look at the Bison sideline. Maybe try focusing on the game, not the sideline!

The same game you are. Who cares if every point is scored by the defense. Being flat and not showing up are two different things. If you think any team is just going to roll over because we are #1 you don't have a clue.

I guess you think this football thing must be easy? #1 or not, we play some good teams, regardless of their record. Western Illinois could beat a lot of FBS teams. It's not like they don't have good, solid Division I players too. Breathe easy. I think we'll win this one. Bison play tough all four quarters.

We have had ugly road wins every season in the Valley. Western is a solid team. Get the W and get out of there.

[Vet70]

No Bruce has hurt. They just picked on Hendricks one too many times.

[steelbison]

Call it what you will. Our O line struggles in pass protection. Have all year. We can’t defend the screen for some reason on defense. We have a lot of work to do. On both sides of the ball.

Easy fellas...all I'm saying is that I don't think we're playing up to our level in the first half of many games. That can hurt us in the long run. Exactly, some of the homers here make me want to throw up. Its time the Bison start good from the beginning of a game. Sloppy play, poor tackles, Stick getting sacked many times. Eventually this crap will catch up and the Bison could lose an important game.

[SDbison]

Offense having a very poor game.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Inability to put the ball in the endzone from the 5 yard line to put the game away. Lots to work on.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Special teams fricked up tonight too.

Kick coverage is just trash

SD are you sure it's not too many jag bombs?

Is Easton on drugs?

[WeAreThePride]

Yeah, we're sure slapping them around alright.

3 score lead on the road.

Oh right, I forgot we should win every game by 60, then you all can piss and moan about how there's no good competition left in FCS.

[SDbison]

[SoCalBison]

Offensive execution and play calling really crap today.

[NCBison]

I think "slapping around" is a stretch. We keep finding ways to win, but we're by no means dominant.

JABRIL!

damn it, wanted his 3rd TD of the year

[Hardrocker]

Where is Grimsley?

[Bisonfanatical]

Has anyone watched the team this year? Offensive line is pretty brutal in pass protection. Especially when the other team knows we have to pass.

This game is another example. Defense has been great all year except last week.

Offense needs a LOT of work.

Grimsley hurt or benched? Tutsie in the game the last couple of possessions.

Look at that, another pick.

This is a team game, and this is the definition of teamwork. When the offense is lackluster, the D steps up. When the D struggles, the O bails them out.

[WeAreThePride]

He'll learn. Won't happen again.

There will come a time when we need to put together a complete game though. Offense, defense, four quarters.

He'll be lucky to get another carry. Idiot

Didn’t we go the first three games without a sack? That being said the past couple of games leave room for improvement

Right. We're gonna cut a kid for a single stupid decision.

[MNLonghorn10]

damn it..do not give them any points. We are at the sagarin limit

[NDSUBowler]

NDSU still covering the -19.5. Yawn

The announcers were worse than WIU football team

[WeAreThePride]

We don't have the luxury of sitting an excellent player for a single mistake which didn't cost us anything.

Sure wish we had Lesure. If i remember correctly he decommissioned and went to WIU

You tackle WR like Lesure by hitting them at knee level. He can’t run if you take out the legs.

[NDSUstudent]

Hendricks catches more passes than all of our Tight Ends combined.

[wisco4]

You bet, because that’s the Bison way. Act however you want as long as it doesn’t effect the team.:facepalm2: Because it really is all about the individual

[Bison56]

Lol this thread is pure gold.

True. This is the first game we have at least threw a couple passes to the TE. Not sure why we aren’t utilizing them this year?

Fine, you're right. Put him on the next bus out of Fargo. Strike his name from the books, so that we may forget our shame in ever recruiting such a degenerate. And brand his forehead, so the whole world may know his shame.

[GOBISON123]

Looking like our offense is Easton- Bruce/Dunn/Ty Brooks/ - Darius Shepard, everybody else blocking

No sacks in the first 3 games, 1 by SDSU. The last two games have been bad.

My god, shouldn't there be some minimum level of facilities, etc. to be a DI program? What a joke.

[WeAreThePride]

Just what I said. He won't be getting carries doesn't mean he's off the team dumbass

So we're going to keep a running back on the roster and use a scholarship for back that we won't give the football.

How does someone as dense as you not reach critical mass and detonate?

[MNLonghorn10]

lulz @ shawn with the shot macomb
"ndsu has WIU next year in Fargo then dont play WIU for 2 years due to scheduling and wont be back here in Macomb until 2022.........which is fine by me"

[HerdBot]

That was a solid win. Injuries are starting to mount. Is Volson alright? Bruce? Grimsley?

[MontBison]

We don't have the luxury of sitting an excellent player for a single mistake which didn't cost us anything.

I’m sure I’m in the minority on this but I was ecstatic he did that. Dude is hurt like every god dam play so let him have a little fun when he’s finally able to score.

[Bison4peat]

Lol this thread is pure gold.

Stop.Just stop.

[NDSUstudent]

Just threaten to leave Brooks in Macomb for a few days, he'll never get cocky after another TD.

Why don’t you wait for him to get off the bus tomorrow morning and give him a hug? Tell him it’s ok to cost your team yards, it’s all about you son, don’t act like you’ve been there before, have a skit for every big play you make, maybe you’ll make sports center, that would be awesome. Win with humility.

I don't like any show boating. No brushing of the jerseys like they got dirty or breaking up a pass and standing over the wr with your arms behind your back. Act like it's just part of the job and go back to the huddle and do it again.
