[Bison03]

Time to restore the order in the Valley. Lets hit them hard and often. Time to kill some bunnies!!

Bison: 27
Wabbit Stew: 17

[Son of a Bison]

38-17 Bison

[Gully]

SDSU is desperate and NDSU has some breathing room. 27-20 Jacks.

[bruinbison]

GameDay!
Hope people are watching!
Hope they support the Bison!
This team still has the potential to be one of the best NDSU teams ever.
It is a very experienced, veteran team that has had much success.
Today is the big opportunity to build on the team’s performance & success!

Anyways, here is an article from Brookings local newspaper, the Register.

https://brookingsregister.com/article/no-9-sdsu-no-2-ndsu-to-clash-in-dakota-marker-game

Nice article, but it makes me wonder if they have full-time sports coverage.
At least the writer should have access to Stig.

But that being said, the writer is either the master of understatement,
or is taking doctorate courses from the JMU people……:)



Since moving to the FCS in 2004, both teams have cemented themselves as powerhouses at this level. NDSU a little more than SDSU as the Bison have gone to 11-straight FCS Playoffs and have won eight National Championships in the past 11 years. The Jacks have gone to the Playoffs in nine-straight seasons and made the National Championship in the spring.

[NDSU92]

SDSU is desperate and NDSU has some breathing room. 27-20 Jacks.

SDSU has their back against the wall and NDSU is out for revenge/redeem itself is such a great storyline

Fuck SDSU is also a pretty good storyline. SDSU and Stig always have a bunch of wrinkles cooked up for us. Interesting to see what it is.

31-21 good guys

[Professor Chaos]

SDSU is desperate and NDSU has some breathing room. 27-20 Jacks.
This is about where I'm at also. If SDSU plays like they did against UNI or in their last 3 quarters vs SIU then the Bison win. But I get the feeling they come out with their hares on fire and play to their potential which is a top 2 team in the FCS. The Bison give them a good battle but SDSU's offense makes a few more plays than the Bison offense is able to make and they pull off a 1 score win. I'd love to be wrong.

[Bison 4 Life]

I don't think desperation is a particularly good thing to have when the other team can play loose because the stakes aren't so high.

31-20 for the guys in green

[scottietohottie]

Bunnies cramp under pressure and stop the clock. Go for it on 4th downs with trickery. Stig wears a gray vest. They meet again in the second round of playoffs. So exciting. That's all I got.

[NDSU92]

The only thing I’m sure of is that Stig has a special edition can of Joose in his coach’s locker in case he needs to get creative for the second half

[DCinOK]

Watching College Gameday at Cincinnati....they're griping about Gary Barta, head of the CFP, ranking the Bearcats 6th and asking other than Notre Dame, "Who else did they beat?" Bearcat coach or fan asking of Barta, "Did he play football?" Gameday crew pointing out that Gary Barta has three National Champ rings as he was a North Dakota State QB in the 80s.

[Uffda]

Yaaaay! We'll finally get to find out what's on page 2 of TR's playbook.

[HerdThat!]

NORTH Dakota, because “it’s better in top”

Herd: 28
Rabies: 13

HORNS, THE FUCK, UP!!!!

[Gully]

Watching the pre-game show on my TV out of market via the WDAY Extra app/channel on Roku. Seems like there was some concern about being able to watch on TV but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

[Gully]

I picked SDSU to win.

On the other hand, it could easily go either way.

If SDSU loses and loses one more to either USD or UND, that would mean only 6 DI wins, I think.

As odd as it sounds, they could find themselves anywhere from a seed and bye week to not even making the playoffs. I don't expect them to lose 2 out of 3....just saying.

I think this is it. The perfect revenge is killing their seed chances and making them fight for their playoff lives in Verm.

Don't underestimate that motivation.

Nothing like playing a mvfc schedule twice every fall to make sure you truly are the real fcs Champs. So cool so cool. Just saw liberty on GameDay.

I hope the herd/coaches are ready for a brawl. I wish the Bison the best and hope they show who is Boss in this game. Go Bison!!!

Haha! Good catch, CAS! We should all know that Stig isn’t going to reveal anything to his opponent prior to a game. He did say that its up to the team doctor whether Davis plays or not. We’ll see when the game is in progress…

I’m going to renege on my prediction - since making it, I ran an errand and the first song on the radio was an AC/DC song, I pulled out of a parking lot where there was a Bison statue on the boulevard, an eagle flew over to the top of my truck for a few blocks.

Better be careful here or it will be 28-7 before the half

Are you just ever so correct

[Bison 4 Life]

They’re also winning the straight up game so I don’t know why we’re complaining about the trick shit

[Dstahn]

Thank goodness we are really good at 2nd half adjustments….. oh wait.

Let’s play guess the trick play?

Double reverse pass

[3logan86]

What do they do at practice all week? Haven't seen any additions to offense whatsoever.

[HerdistheWord]

Our defense picked a bad time to not show up.

Strong is going to have 200 yards.

Code Lean defense came out today

Roehl is incapable of doing anything to the offense, he is outclassed in all ways and literally just gets by because we out-talent most teams.

[Bison03]

Rip on Roehl all you want…but the defense is the bigger problem!

[Bison4peat]

We learned how to defend a screen on 1 play.

[scottietohottie]

Look at this. Entz ain't even coaching this is a fake

Sdsu is an excellent offense. They will score on anyone.

AGREEE COMPLETELY. Just terrible.

With our current staff that’s a insult to fleck

They will score, but they should not be on pace for 48 points

[Dstahn]

Thought Entz might try to ice him, but forgot he only does that for our kicker. Plus he probably wants those timeouts for the locker room.

Entz says no changes on offense lol

[scottietohottie]

2 more for the timeout jar! Almost full!!!

[Kevin]

At 10 we get a free one in the next game.

Which we also will not use.

[BattleBorn]

I thought it very possible we would lose this week, didn’t expect a blowout. Better show up.

[scottietohottie]

five timeouts for second half!

[semobison]

We had momentum, and then...
The interception
The running into the kicker
The face mask
The trick play
The three and out 25 second possession.
Woof!

[HerdBot]

Exact same shitty ass offense but with a different QB. Roehl is the common denominator

And the defense doesn't look any better

[OrygunBison]

Most BVers have no tolerance for the offense struggling but completely give the defense a pass. It's weird. This isn't the first game that the defense has looked bad.

[Wally]

Absolute embarrassing.

[3logan86]

Absolutely agree

What part of Matt entz you fucking idiot didn't you understand?

[BattleBorn]

Well at least we don’t have to worry about losing our coaching staff to an FBS team!

[Gully]

They look terrible today but they were only giving up 8 points a game through 8 games, so I would say they'd been pretty good.

[Kevin]

Did she just have to check a note card for the score? Lol

[NDSUstudent]

Rip on Roehl all you want…but the defense is the bigger problem!

The defense is struggling but I see this from the offense week in and week out.

SDSU is light years better coached on offense, it isn't even really comparable.

[Bison03]

Yeah, pretty bad take. The defense has been amazing this year. Need to make sone adjustments today though.

Very possible, another possibility, both quarterbacks are shitty. Do we really think cam Miller got that much better in 3 months? He was abysmal last Spring, he may have improved now to just being awful.

[Bison03]

Everyone take a deep breath. Good lord!

[Gully]

They're going to have to come out and spread the field out and throw. Tell Cam not to be afraid to take off and run if it's there....there were a couple of times he could have had some yardage. They did that on the one nice drive and need to get back to it.

[Gully]

But it just feels like SDSU wants it more and has to have it.....because they do. This is why I picked the Jacks this morning.

[NDSUstudent]

Every QB that wasn't a first round draft pick has looked the same. Like I said our OC is only effective because we out class our competition with talent in pretty much every game.

[westnodak93bison]

Entz needs to settle his team down. Wtf—it’s like we are in panic-mode.Horrible body language on the sideline. Its like nobody cares. Just pathetic.

Not Millers fault that the receivers are running 3 yard routes on a 3rd and 10. It is the play calling that is making him look bad.

[semobison]

On the Jacks second TD drive the Jacks picked up two 3rd and longs with the screen.
On the Jacks third score they picked up first downs on a running into the kicker and a face mask on third down.
The 25 second possession the last time we had the ball gifted them the FG.
Some costly mistakes!

[CAS4127]

Yeah, pretty bad take. The defense has been amazing this year. Need to make sone adjustments today though.

A complimentary offense would help. The D has basically been our only predictable and steady element this year.

O scheme absolutely sucks, and our RBs are not FCS caliber, not is Roehl.

[El_Chapo]

Defense needs to make a play. strip fumble, pick 6. something.

giving sdsu that last FG is gonna fuck us

[Wally]

Their offense is Strong, screens and trickery/deception. I don’t think they ask their QB to throw a pass further than 5 yards downfield. Yet, it’s like they are a CAA team we’ve never played before.

The Int, roughing and face mask turned this game upside down.

[IzzyFlexion]

No carries for Luepke in the first half.

[Bison03]

No carries for Luepke in the first half.
He got banged up last week

[IzzyFlexion]

He got banged up last week

He made the tackle on the interception.

[JohnnyExtacy]

Meh. This game don't mean anything anyways. See them at the dome in the playoffs where it matters. That will be a different game.

[OrygunBison]

I'm certainly not letting the O off the hook for some shitty effort and playcalling but let's not pretend that the defense has played shitty today. It doesn't matter to today's score that they've played well all season. This is the game when we need them the most and they look totally lost. Undisciplined and out of position often throughout the half.

Complimentary football also relies on the defense to not play like shit. But, yeah, focus on the offense sucking.

[NDSU92]

What a horrible take. Can’t let that first TD go to the house but besides that let’s get a grip. This is the best FCS defense since 2014, probably going to have 4 shutouts in conference play in the best conference in the country. SDSU is throwing everything Stig’s last LSD trip came up with at it. And our offense is trying to read-option their way down the field. Last TD was the result of an idiotic running into the punter penalty.

People criticizing the defense are idiots

[HerdistheWord]

Defense is flat. Period. However, our offense hasn’t found a way to get the ball to Luepke or Watson. We function best when they touch the ball.

[1st&TennBison]

Williams is our best back, always seems to get positive yardage and breaking tackles, yet we usually favor the smaller guys who have little power and go down with arm tackles. :sigpalm::sigpalm::sigpalm:

Yeah only because SIU lost too. Can’t lose these rivalry games unless we want even more Bison Fatigue

[NDSUstudent]

The offense had one nice drive, shot itself in the foot on two others and did nothing outside of that.

Ok...third time shot in the foot.

[1st&TennBison]

Yep, that was the end of the game right there!!!!!!

[Bison 4 Life]

Kobe for -2 then Qb up the gut eh roehl?

Clever!

Rest the starters if that is what these are.

O line is playing lazy. Lucky we didn’t get a hold call on the run before the Watson PI. What the heck were they up all night or what.

[BattleBorn]

Well this was fun.
