Complete the perfect regular season!!!

[Christopher Moen]

Not since 2012, has there been a Senior Day game that was remotely close. I don't expect that to change today.

I've seen three of SIU's games (Ole Miss, Missouri State and SDSU) so far this year and without a doubt, they have one of the worse defenses I've seen in the MVFC since NDSU joined. Offensively, they put up a lot points, but in an extremely sloppy way.

With that said, NDSU beats SIU all kinds of bad today.

My prediction, Bison over the Salukis by a score of 55-17 and tally over 700 yards on offense.

Stay healthy, hungry and focused. Playoffs are near and I have a feeling the bracket is going to be top-heavy.

[Uffda]

Bison 52
Dogs 20

Bison seniors roll out winners 53-13 over pyramid puppies.
Feels cold for the tailgate! Time to practice for postseason tailgate.

[gumby013]

Bison - 62

Lil Puppers - 14

[Gully]

My hopes for today.......Easton gets the 32 yards he needs to become the all time MVFC career rushing leader and there are no injuries.

[EC8CH]

Welcome back to the Fargodome, buttsniffers.

[Mr Meaty]

Bison run all day. 45-10. Defense lights out. Menard get sack record today.

[WFBisonFan]

This one will be a rough one for Klieman I'm thinking. His group of kids that he got to stay after Coach Bohl left is one of the greatest to come through this program. It really does seem like only yesterday that Stick made his first start. So many outstanding, selfless players who play together as a team in the truest form.

Bison 48
Salukis 17

[Vet70]

SIU has too many offensive weapons and will score a ton of points. We are doomed.

Bison continue the march to Frisco today, thanks, seniors!

Lots of seats still available. Spread the word. Wish I was closer to support this group of seniors. They certainly deserve it.

They also don't have any CB's. Walter Payton game?

Of course its worth it. Difference between first and goal on 2 and a turnover in a 2 score game.

Ndsu doesnt challenge though. Its on refs.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Had the 1st down with the forward progress. Ref came running in and marked it where Bruce/ball came down. That can't be challenged???

[Gully]

need to let Easton get his 32 yards for the record now!

Aweful calls by mess. 2 runs up gut with your smallest back.

They're stacking. Running will come but it will likely be in the 2nd half.

[HerdistheWord]

Could still happen. Believe!!!

[23Bison]

I think we will see plenty of running the ball towards the middle of the 3rd quarter. I think Stick has another passing TD to throw yet by half.

Because CK said the starters would be in through 3 quarters. It's now the 4th Quarter so he will likely come out now.
