Montana Post Game Thoughts & Discussion

[Kevin]

1) entz legacy is undisciplined meatheadism
2) hire Polasek
3) congrats to Montana. Pulling for you but you’re about to get a buzz saw to the face. You may have done us a mercy.
4) why run the same trick play they just did. Wtf are you doing roehl? Raja wtf too? Run the fucking ball.
5) so glad this era of alleged bison football is over.

August 2024:

New HC
New OC
New DC
New STC
New QB...

[Big Bird]

1. Really poorly executed game by NDSU.
2. Throw the bag at Eli Green and Wisniewski. The rest? I hope they stay, but meh. This team lost 4 games and looked slow

[TAILG8R]

Agreed plus I hope Roehl leaves when he’s not named HC.

Cole Payton is special. And yes, he can throw.

[GreenfieldBison]

Last 8 or so weeks have been fun. Congrats to 2023 Bison for a year that 100+ other teams would die for.

Congrats to the Griz. Well played. Go kill some bunnies.

It was the SAME play

[Bisonwinagn]

Fire Rohl for being stupid and don’t let him in the bus! What a dumb fuck he is!!!

[WestCoastBison]

“Keep it simple stupid”

Run Power. Like the play before.

[Bison03]

Let the overreaction begin. A good team beat another good team, in an instant classic! Sucks to lose. Sucks.

[KSBisonFan]

We didn't deserve to win. Too many penalties that were unforced, mental mistakes.

Loss feels bad because I believe we are the better team and had chances to win by 2 scores.

Tomorrow and Monday will be interesting and possibly humbling.

Rooting for the Griz in Frisco.

[Kevin]

It was the SAME play

It’s like roehl saw it and thought wow that was kino get raja on the phone maybe he can do that in a few minutes

[MNLonghorn10]

Nobody was going to beat SDSU regardless of this outcome. Rabbits are damn good

[TAILG8R]

The play call was complete horse shit BUT if that’s your call put Peyton in to at least suck some defenders to the line to defend the run.

Fuck Roehl. I hope some FBS team thinks he’s the next best thing.

Yeah, same deal after every loss.

If NDSU could have gone two plays in a row on offense without a penalty or drop, that's a win. The Bison OL was destroying their defensive line, and the only times they stopped the inside run (but 1) was when Montana's outside guys got to our runner before the runner got to the LoS.

Also, since Cam didn't ever seem to have a short option when pressure was coming, I thought those were set up for him to take off running, but Montana did a good job on that.

[Snowgoose]

I said this during the game but that is the most maddening game I have ever watched. We played pretty bad mentally. Terrible penalties terrible reffing, cam missing huge plays over and over. We should have won by two scores.

Cam just hasn’t improved enough over four years. Compare him to say Jensen and he doesn’t hit the easy throws even to our RBs as they were open all day out of the back field.

[land grant bison]

I felt like we lost due to crowd induced penalties (false starts) and I’m still miffed on that 2 point call. We had run it with ease at the end. Sometimes the team calls the same play again and again when the D is gassed. I didn’t think the situation needed a random razzle dazzle call which ended the season when it wasn’t successful. It felt like an “emotional” call that didn’t jive with the normal game strategies…(i.e. we have an advantage in a particular matchup)…I get the unpredictability the call provides, it wouldn’t have won the game if it worked, massive gamble, you would have had to do more 2 point conversions if good, would the NEXT one have been even more outrageous?

[23Bison]

Well we came in unseeded, and took the number 2 seed to OT2 in the semi-finals. Had about 100 yds in penalties. Kat play was questionable but could have worked if Raja ran more towards the line then pulled up and passed. Instead he went lateral and was looking to pass right away. Contact in the end zone with the TE not called (not sure if it needed to be but looked like legit PI). It was a very frustrating/exciting game. The boys ultimately did very well this season and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

2023 Down year Bison went to the semi finals and came up short in 2OT unseeded. Go Bison!!!

[daddy daycare]

Embarrassing play call at that moment when they shoved it all OT.

Game was lost on false starts, a couple missed long balls, and some key drops. And getting it shoved up their a** in OT.

Blaming the refs is a loser mentality.

[Kevin]

Imagine being a DC and just being able to know the play call 1/10 times by the package and being able to blitz as much as you want without ever worrying about a screen pass lol

Must be an easy week to plan.

Refs gave us 30 yards in the most important drive too

Refs sucked but we sucked more so pretty sure SDSU will take Montana to the woodshed because as soon as McDowell has to start passing it'll be open season for SDSU defense.

Yes so let’s run a halfback pass because nothing else was working.

[NDSU18]

As much as Entz and Roehl have taken heat the last couple years (and rightfully so) the front 7 of our defense the last couple years has not been good enough

[Bison4peat]

It is looking like we won't have a coach or any players next year. Buy low now on how much entertainment value this will create.

I think we all saw this wasn't a championship caliber team at multiple points during the season. Today's result is disappointing, but not surprising.

Poor tackling, penalties, and bad defense and we still got further than I expected. Add in the coaching change, and it’s unlike championship seasons.

New HC better be active in the portal.

[gabisonfan]

Cam's tenure to date feels underwhelming, undoubtedly not fair to him. He is unquestionably a fine human being. Perhaps, when the dust settles there will still be football that's recognizable. He drew the short straw when it comes to outside distractions.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

This. I really thought it was a huge mistake when he was appointed OC. He's a meathead.

[El_Chapo]

CAM missed 2 wide open WR TDS' ... NDSU couldve been up 14

[jcdcubs]

How many Bison players enter the portal tomorrow or early this week?

[DAS BISON]

💯 agreed, and the pee wee football OC calling guy eh?

NDSU getting absolutely dragged on twitter by talking heads for the PAT call. Anyone defending it at this point is just being a contrarian for the sake of it.

I think playing for NDSU is the opposite of drawing the short straw. Some people rise to the occasion and some don’t. Cam is a really good football player but to date he is not a great football player because he gets bested by his equals.

# 8 from Montana pulled our receiver down on the last play and a zebra was right there.

[HerdBot]

Congrats to Montana. They got a little lucky but they are a good team. The homefield was the difference

Defense was great for 4 quarters but didnt play OT

Offense shot themselves in the foot repeatedly

Most agree we should have went for 2 with 50 seconds left

Roehl had a few brilliant calls but cant stick with the run. Montana's entire D is designed to stop the short passing game. We were moving their defense back too. He just cant stick with it. We ran for 400 vs them a year ago

That last play was fucking retarded

With someone with a Polasek mindset we win the game

With that being said, hire Polasek. Time for a new ERA

If you let the refs control the outcome of the game you have not done your job

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

These zebras weren't officials, they were clowns. They "missed" several violations on Montana, like the motion on the FG The 5 yard penalty would put them out of range. And on and on.

Yep, refs were bad, but they were not the reason we lost. And realistically, the calls on us were deserved.

Fire the coaching staff and hire 5-6 guys from bisonville we will be undefeated. They have never lost a game

This....100000%, how can you not have a counter to all out blitzes all year long. Just poor coaching...screen game was a staple of success in teams past. At least the threat of it keeps defenses at bay.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Just where the hell were these officials out of????

[land grant bison]

Like most matchups, the home field made a huge difference in the game. neutral field and I think NDSU wins by 10. While penalties were one sided, it certainly wasn’t the refs. The false starts were just killer. Missed long throws on open receivers downfield once too many. Ugh, this team was playing really hot and had what it takes to get to Frisco. I’m very proud at how they responded to the early season losses. I think the team matured big time as the season progressed. WR leaders developing. Defense playing WAY better. Man, the season just felt like it abruptly ended. Coaching staff doesn’t need to be purged or anything like that. That is a big time over reaction. But what they do need is a complete rededication/commitment to excellence.

I hope the griz win in Frisco, but I think they’ll lose by 17+ because I think this jack team is on par with our 2013 team. Not saying they’re better than that 2013 team, but we didn’t get challenged all year after k-state and Uni that season. Likewise, sdsu hasn't really been challenged. think sdsu has too strong of o line, QB, RB, WR to be beat…but it would be glorious to see them humbled and then routed by the transfer portal…but it ain’t happening.

[mtoutfitter]

How many Bison players enter the portal tomorrow or early this week?

Probably quite a few cause it's gonna be Polasek. Larsen will leave too.

[KSBisonFan]

Remember, had we showed up against UND and USD 1, we are likely hosting the Griz in the Dome. I have no doubt we beat them by 10+ points.

The coaches and team put themselves in this position. Don't lose to Bubba and the Coyotes, and there's just slightly less bitching on Bisonville tonight.

[KSBisonFan]

Oak Hills Christian.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Whatever one thinks of the incompetence or quality of the coaching staff, one thing that can't be argued is their non-ability to recruit. This bison team has got to be the slowest unit in the last 10 years...at least.

True we had a lot of penalties. But go back and watch that play. That wasnt a little hand hand play. But he never should have thrown it. Not to mention the play never should have been called. KISS Keep it simple Stupid

Worst NDSU team in many years, plays crappy in National Semifinal game, with stupid playcalling, drops, dumb penalties, and still... almost wins the game. Can we leave the FCS already?

On the plus side, maybe this helps get more FBS games on the schedule. Probably not, but a guy can dream.

And please, no more meatheads. That last play was probably brought to you by the same dumb fucks that did that swinging gate nonsense of last year.

Jacks are the worst fan base by far. We had drinks poured on us at a basketball game. Jacks can go fck themselves or their pigs whatever they are into these days.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

Play call on the PAT was a really, really bad coaching decision. Other than that I thought the play calling was pretty decent. The execution was at times poor. Our running backs are not that good. Missing the wide open lane. What really killed us was the drive killing false start penalties. Those penalties killed at least 4 drives where we had the momentum. They have a very elusive QB who extended many plays were he should have been dead to rights. This game was between two evenly matched teams and it played out as such.

In the end it really doesn't matter who won this game. SDSU is light years better than us and UM. The grizzlies are going to run into a buzz saw in Frisco.

Of all the stupid shit that happened during the game aside, the PAT could have still extended the game. The griz defense was completely out of it at the last part of the 4th quarter and the overtime attempts. I don't care if all you do is show power, you have to have them committed to power football there. I actually think you just run it with Cole but if you aren't looking like you are going to, it is just getting too cute.

You are a power football team. Live or die by power football.

Let the excuses begin for Scam Miller. D1 football can’t miss open receivers 3 times that are 5+ yards open. That being said he wasn’t even the cause of loss. No identity with the Entz/Roehl regime.

Great season, but that had to be the most boneheaded things I've ever seen.

[SoCalBison]

1. Playcalls were off most of the day. 2nd and 22 (or 26?) and you run inside? The final conversion attempt was just the worst of the them.
2. Cam was off. Yes, his ribs were obviously bothering him, which seemed to affect his throwing.
3. With luck, Roehl will be out of the running. If not, we have years of this crap ahead.
4. The 3 consecutive road games caught up with the players and coaches.
5. We made it farther than I expected in this reloading year.
6. Good luck to Entz in the land of sunshine, wildfires, drought, earthquakes and mudslides.
7. Thank you Bison for another season.

You shouldn't have to hate to say that, he gets paid to be good at his job at a great program and he has put an abomination on the field all year long. Every aspect of special teams sucked. Yeah, Steiny's fake punt was awesome, and Price's punt return last weekend was great, but for much of the season, our special teams were horrible. If he wants to be a coach for a living, he needs to improve his performance.

On the one hand, I did not expect to be in a situation where I feel like we *should* have won the semifinal game on the road… surprised we made it that far after the UND game. Not a bad result for our worst team in 14 years.

On the other hand…

To everyone playing the “let’s not overreact here” card… I have one question: What is the appropriate reaction when you have a head coaching decision coming up that will also likely impact portal decisions and general program direction?

We’re not overreacting, we’re acting appropriately.

Also what I've heard. Zabel's GF plays volleyball at KSU too.

[MankatoBison]

Let the overreaction begin. A good team beat another good team, in an instant classic! Sucks to lose. Sucks.

I’m trying to be as level headed as humanly possible when I say. Montana is legitimately not good lol. The effort factor is high, there’s no doubt about it, but virtually 100% of their successful plays were Johnny manziel backyard football, chicken with your head cut off, couldn’t replicate it if they had to, bullshit. Their lines on both sides of the ball were getting rag dolled aaaaaall day (except for their Oline in OT)

Their entire victory relied on flukey looney toons style, silent movie comedy moments lol. Their 2pt conversion, the PI against Raja, the 9 penalties vs 2, literally had to have every single star align in perfect harmony to squeak by, by the skin of their teeth.

Let’s put it this way, SDSU no longer needs to practice, at all, for the natty. Cannot imagine the sheer sense of relief they feel Knowing they will play a high school team In the natty.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

I’d have to lean on our officiating posters. If TE engages like a run play to sell the run, can you throw the flag when the DB treats it as such and could say they are “getting off the block”. Tough call to make as an official at that point.

[56BISON73]

Just sold my Natty tickets as soon as I listed them.

Also how awful was the actual Broadcast today? I mean holy crap, neither commentator said our name right, not even once. They kept talking about how dominant the Griz were on the LOS, and I was like… wut????? Wut game are you watching???

Additionally, the director would cut to the LOS camera with less than 3 seconds on the play clock every fricken snap. Literally missed 4-5 plays. There were so many bad camera takes, or missed question from the director, it made me want to gouge my eyes out.

And before anyone says “what do you know bout this??” I used to work in sports broadcasting with fox sports and ESPN, so I’m not blowing smoke (for once)

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

I’d have to lean on our officiating posters. If TE engages like a run play to sell the run, can you throw the flag when the DB treats it as such and could say they are “getting off the block”. Tough call to make as an official at that point.

The Montana player was far more athletic than the clumsy Bison.

We almost watched the 2nd half in silence. It's too hard to sync the radio broadcast with Midco's cloud DVR so we gave up trying to listen and watch. It seems like every other ESPN announcer mentions multiple times that it is Bizon, not "bye son" except for these jokers.

[HerdBot]

On the one hand, I did not expect to be in a situation where I feel like we *should* have won the semifinal game on the road… surprised we made it that far after the UND game. Not a bad result for our worst team in 14 years.

On the other hand…

To everyone playing the “let’s not overreact here” card… I have one question: What is the appropriate reaction when you have a head coaching decision coming up that will also likely impact portal decisions and general program direction?

We’re not overreacting, we’re acting appropriately.

Matt Entz clearly cant recruit to the level of Bohl or Klieman. He doesnt have a good record with the transfer portal either. No reason to believe Roehl will be an elite recruiter. Hire Polasek. He's been gone for 7 years and has likely improved with stops in Wyoming and Iowa

The good thing is he really got to learn from the potent Iowa offense.

[Bison4peat]

Great run by the fellas after the und game. Had a bunch of chances in hostile territory today. Now it’ll get interesting.

Nobody is going to feel bad for the Bison. FCS is never going to generate a high end TV contract. It does not mean you can't watch it or enjoy it. Remember this is about using people's passions to generate revenue.

I’m trying to be as level headed as humanly possible when I say. Montana is legitimately not good lol. The effort factor is high, there’s no doubt about it, but virtually 100% of their successful plays were Johnny manziel backyard football, chicken with your head cut off, couldn’t replicate it if they had to, bullshit. Their lines on both sides of the ball were getting rag dolled aaaaaall day (except for their Oline in OT)

Their entire victory relied on flukey looney toons style, silent movie comedy moments lol. Their 2pt conversion, the PI against Raja, the 9 penalties vs 2, literally had to have every single star align in perfect harmony to squeak by, by the skin of their teeth.

Let’s put it this way, SDSU no longer needs to practice, at all, for the natty. Cannot imagine the sheer sense of relief they feel Knowing they will play a high school team In the natty.

That’s the most deflating thing for me. The FCS currently has 1 team that is G5 caliber and that is SDSU. The rest is varying levels of mediocre. And we couldn’t rise to the top of that. It’s what makes me sad as an NDSU fan. We are supposed to be high G5 level with the potential to knock off the P4. We are exactly what we are labeled, an upper echelon FCS team. Before we were a top 30 college football program. Fuck off ML. I hope you get shot by the tshirt cannon.

Last year tickets were going for at least $600 at midfield up high. You probably could have gotten more since SDSU fans waiting to win the semi bought tickets already with big demand from Montana today.

I do not doubt they will be relieved of an almost certain victory but what does that say about the FCS competition that so many teams are crappy or inconsistent. SDSU may be very good but they don't have much competition. Someday they may be dealing with the portal and Jackrabbits fatigue. Mark my words.

I despise the Jacks. No class. Juvenile with their horns down. Even if we are not there in Frisco this year, they will probably still do "horns down."

[Twincitybizon]

1. Cam - bad day to have a bad day. Missed to many open guys and took some bad sacks.

2. Execution - drops, overthrows, low kicks, low snaps, 6 false starts, delay of game. ML is a better man than me. I might have been pressured to name TR as the guy yesterday. But I think the right thing to do is bring in outside eyes. We need help.

3. We don't win big games because the o steps up over and over. We win because the d gets stops when it matters. They could not in ot. Tackling and athleticism were lacking.

5. We adjust in game too slow. I thought (and I think the coaches did too) we'd have to pass more to be successful. We ran pretty well early in the game. Need to stick with it more. Evident really on

Really proud of the effort put forth by the guys

[TAILG8R]

Neither team played well. We happened to lay worse than them and made the wrong call on the 2 pt attempt.

I still think we should have gone for 2 the first OT. As long as it wouldn’t have been that abortion of a play call.

Some big missed throws from Cam. Also some big missed drops. Defense played good enough in regulation, not good enough in OTs. Too many penalties and just kick the ball OOB vs Bergen. I thought we had it after the Payton TD. Amazing we almost had it after all that. The defense needs to get better. Tackling was off, angles were poor too often. Hope we can retain most of the guys expected to be back, especially both Cam and Cole.

Wasn’t that long ago that we were a legit top 20 team in the country. That’s why I’m thankful Entz is leaving. The new hire might be a bust but we are only a top 15 FCs team with Entz which isn’t acceptable. He didn’t raise the bar.

[HerdBot]

Their QB is a mediocre passer and our defense was lights out in the 2nd half. Also the kicker shorted a 40 yarder. It was an easy decision

Although Roehl probaby does a stupid play call like a flea flicker and we lose, so I changed my mind

[MontBison]

If you were expecting the bar to raised after Klieman left you would've been disappointed with practically anybody. The Entz/Roehl/Larsen haters will all be happy soon as it seems unlikely any of them are still here by this time next year. Be careful what you wish for...

They are really good, no doubt. However, they have been really good for a long time, but NDSU was just a bit better. This is on the lack of discipline of Entz and ultimately on Matt Larson.

Look at the specific sports and tell me which are better now than before Larson. WBB I'll give you is better. Overall we are definitely worse off. Look up "stuffed shirt" in the dictionary and you'll see his picture.

SDSU is better now than they ever were when Klieman was here. During the Klieman years they were always good for 1-2 headscratching regular season losses, even in the years that they beat NDSU, that doomed them to the same type of playoff route that NDSU had to navigate this year.

I think we can improve in a few crucial areas, which is all it will take to win another Natty. Sure we'll lose some talent to attrition and the portal but the fresh talent will more than fill the voids.
I'm already excite for the Boulder game!

Let the Jacks enjoy this back to back run. It pales in comparison to our run, which is far from over! Re-load, rebuild and by mid-season we'll be hitting on all cylinders again.

The whole entz era has been bad penalties and no discipline along with poor play calling in big games.

Quite possibly, I was wondering if all the psychological pressure also contributed in some fashion to the false starts, we had a bunch of those, even though the team practiced with noise.

I’m pretty convinced it is Polasek, not just because of rumors, but also because it would have been foolish to not announce TR sooner if he was the pick.

While I agree with u about penalties and other stupid play calling yesterday was not bad play calling except the last play. I know u r not saying this but let’s analyze yesterday’s game. We had a great play for a td in first quarter wide open missed by cam. Another huge and great play was blown up by a terrible offensive pass interference call which was like a 35 yard penalty. Two more good plays for tds cam misses. Those are all huge game changing plays potentially. Other stupid penalties ruined drives. Yesterday for th most part was not roehls fault.

Yes (and without starting a firestorm) we need coaches with an element of discipline and dare I say "toughness" and a no-nonsense attitude towards players. Penalties have been a massive problem this year, and I do not know what message the coaches are giving to the players because the penalties still continue to the very end of this season, especially yesterday's game.

[The Rock]

Recorded the game and watched the last play several times…their DB threw Stoffel to the ground, then was all alone to make the interception, the back judge was standing there and made no call, did ESPN call them and say it’s time to move on to next game, terrible way to end the season.

One thing I thought of was tat if Roehl knew he was going to be HC, he may have decided to be on the field instead of up in the box. Maybe not though…

[GreenfieldBison]

Generally curious what they will do to “trash talk” the Griz now that their main trash talk won’t be there with “horns down”

I think he needs to transfer to an FBS school to really get draft attention. He’s good not great, more of a system QB.

Agree with this.

My guess as well. So respectful. Nothing but respect.

Not a chance heff.

Not a chance heff.

It crossed my mind. You’re probably right.

[Bison20]

While I agree with u about penalties and other stupid play calling yesterday was not bad play calling except the last play. I know u r not saying this but let’s analyze yesterday’s game. We had a great play for a td in first quarter wide open missed by cam. Another huge and great play was blown up by a terrible offensive pass interference call which was like a 35 yard penalty. Two more good plays for tds cam misses. Those are all huge game changing plays potentially. Other stupid penalties ruined drives. Yesterday for th most part was not roehls fault.

Like many have said, there was no threat to not blitz. No quick slants or rb screens to beat the blitz. We kept dropping back and ran longer timing routes. Also brought Payton in on 3rd and long for qb run, if you bring him in everyone knows what’s coming. He needed him to throw some to atleast keep them honest. Imagine trying to stop him knowing you can’t sell out on him running. Yes we did have some big plays that cam totally missed but still no adjustments to their blitz.

[LefseBison]

This.

I think we can improve in a few crucial areas, which is all it will take to win another Natty. Sure we'll lose some talent to attrition and the portal but the fresh talent will more than fill the voids.
I'm already excite for the Boulder game!

Let the Jacks enjoy this back to back run. It pales in comparison to our run, which is far from over! Re-load, rebuild and by mid-season we'll be hitting on all cylinders again.

If they ever hit 9 national championships, then they can gloat. Otherwise, knock off the "horns down." A craw in my side for some reason.

[GreenfieldBison]

It crossed my mind. You’re probably right.
It would be a radically different view of the field and he would have had to develop an immense trust in a new spotter for a very important game. Just no way.

[Bisonator98]

Just makes them look immature and like NDSU is in their heads. Kind of foolish really so must come naturally to them haha

On contrare, I take it a badge of honor, knowing that while in their glory we are living rent-free in their heads! We are their 'big brother' that they aspire to emulate but know that it highly unlikely they will ever match our accomplishments. I'm flattered that we are what they want to be.

[bulldogg]

I’m trying to be as level headed as humanly possible when I say. Montana is legitimately not good lol. The effort factor is high, there’s no doubt about it, but virtually 100% of their successful plays were Johnny manziel backyard football, chicken with your head cut off, couldn’t replicate it if they had to, bullshit. Their lines on both sides of the ball were getting rag dolled aaaaaall day (except for their Oline in OT)

Their entire victory relied on flukey looney toons style, silent movie comedy moments lol. Their 2pt conversion, the PI against Raja, the 9 penalties vs 2, literally had to have every single star align in perfect harmony to squeak by, by the skin of their teeth.

Let’s put it this way, SDSU no longer needs to practice, at all, for the natty. Cannot imagine the sheer sense of relief they feel Knowing they will play a high school team In the natty.

You guys looked really good in the latter part of the season which is the best time to look really good.

FBS has been really fun and the Bison should be there, but I believe NIL and the portal are going to destroy it pretty quick. Our coach has been poached by the Big Ten (Indiana) who we can't compete with dollar-wise, our best players are in the portal, and some are refusing to play in our bowl game next weekend because they don't want to risk injury and damage to their "brand."

Many diehard college football fans, me included, expect next season to be the last one we will have any interest in. I am going to Ft. Worth next week for our bowl game and I regret spending the two grand I have already spent to go there because I really don't give a shit right now. A month ago we would have beaten Air Force by three or four touchdowns. Now, I don't know if we can beat them.

It seems like the dissolution of the PAC and other events west of the Mississippi would have created an FBS opening for the Bison somewhere. What he hell is up with the Mountain West? Why haven't they extended an invite? Probably because they know you would dominate the conference from the jump like JMU has done in the Sun Belt.

Wishing you all the merriest Christmas ever and the best of everything in 2024.

Wish the top of fcs and the G5 can form some sub division. NIL and transfer portal along with conference realignment is destroying college football.

Fcs as of now is 2 Dakota schools and 2 Montana schools. Gone are the days of GSU, JMU, JSU, app etc to make things interesting and more importantly more national competition.

[SlickVic]

Quite possibly, I was wondering if all the psychological pressure also contributed in some fashion to the false starts, we had a bunch of those, even though the team practiced with noise.

I’m pretty convinced it is Polasek, not just because of rumors, but also because it would have been foolish to not announce TR sooner if he was the pick.

this is what i was getting at i think theres a big difference between i need to catch this ball for a chance to go to frisco vs i need to catch this ball becuz if i dont who knows what will happen sort of thing ... and that blame goes all the way around starting with entz larson fan base you name it but the bottom line is alot of people are missing the trees in the forest with all the nit-picking the big picture is we have/had a rock solid bunch of guys who according to QB1 cam miller would die for each other out there & they were all kind of left to dry yesterday with the uncertainty

[GreenfieldBison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXdrTad664U

if weve reached a point where a team like this doesnt move the needle we got trouble right here in river city my friends----------if yesterday was intended as a job interview id say roehl & staff passed with flying colors as they will never come under that type of pressure again in there proffesional lives------as mangy would say count me in x 1000 for another chance to dance with this group they will go down as the GOATS in my book every last one of them

I agree Slick but then watching Matt Entz in that presser I've got to believe he has been doing his utmost to help them through that. I 100% believe that while he might be looking forward to what comes next for him that it was not easy to leave Fargo and that he cares deeply for all those guys.

I am just getting used to this "spread reputation feature" and I can't use it for a while until I spread reputation to someone else besides you (odd) so I will publicly PRAISE your comment. Little by little, I am digging myself out of the hole of yesterday's loss. :howdy:

[Jackbacker]

At the risk of getting ran off the board, would anyone happen to have 4 tickets (preferably east side) for the championship game they would be willing to sell?

[Gully]

For some reason this made me literally LOL. I don't have any as I had very little confidence I would need them this year. So close but have to show up and make plays to get there.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

I do not doubt they will be relieved of an almost certain victory but what does that say about the FCS competition that so many teams are crappy or inconsistent. SDSU may be very good but they don't have much competition. Someday they may be dealing with the portal and Jackrabbits fatigue. Mark my words.

I despise the Jacks. No class. Juvenile with their horns down. Even if we are not there in Frisco this year, they will probably still do "horns down."

:pan:

The students/'fans" who say Sioux Suck S." are no better but THEY have been taken to task by Administration! And they are in the gaping minority, I believe, and I further believe that most Bison fans are disgusted by it. It is also juvenile.

My former senior citizen athletic trainer has a spouse who graduated SDSU and she was mortified after last year's "horns down" post-game taunting.

When we won all of our Natty's, I do believe for the most part, Bison fans acted with class towards the opposing team at Frisco (from what I have heard). I also "lurked but did not post of course" at opposing fan boards and from the comments I saw, many opposing fans were struck by how gracious Bison fans were after the game, and how Bison fans complimented them on their football year. There are always exceptions to the Jacks but, for me, and this is one of my numerous character flaws, I do get butt-hurt when we are made fun of by them (or any fan base). When UND makes fun of us, it doesn't bother me so much cuz we give back but also they are located in the same state as us.

The best testimonial to date as to why a team should stay in the FCS. A G5 subdivision with a national playoff system would be ideal. As it stands now, playing Toledo in a crappy bowl game does nothing to get me excited.

You need to sit in the student section. "Sioux Suck Shit" is alive and well and choreographed after every 1st down.

[DCinOK]

Mixed feelings about 'horns down,' as I live in Oklahoma and love OU. Fun to do 'horns down' because of hatred for longhorns, but last year in Frisco when the sdsu numbnuts two rows in front of me kept turning around and giving bison fans 'horns down' it was not fun.

Thanks to the Bison for yet another classic in WGS.

Congrats on a great year and run despite being 'down.'

I think we have a chance in Frisco if McDowell maintains his composure but after last night that feels like a big 'if.'

Thanks for the kind words but I hate to tell you the Griz have almost zero chance in Frisco. If the keep it within 21 I will be surprised.

That is an honest take as I would say the exact same thing if we were going.

I’ll probably be cheering for Montana but SDSU is a tall task.

Sagarin has ndsu being the second best fcs team despite being down and only 6 pt dogs while Montana would be 13 pt dogs in the sagarin predictor. SDSU is hovering around where ndsu was peak ndsu dynasty. They’re about 28th, ndsu made it into the teens. That shows how good they are

Montana ranked 4th out of the fcs schools. I don’t see you having much of a chance unless gronowski goes down to injury

I am rendered speechless! Please stop with the lofty phrases! "Time-honored"? S.S.S. is a vulgar phrase in an NDSU or UND stadium. Beyond juvenile. I recall several years ago a picture in the Forum with a guy who had an NDSU shirt on with "Sioux Suck Shit" and there was a phallus thing hanging down on the T-shirt (an image) if my memory serves me. And I am NOT a snowflake. I can be tough as nails.

And please - you say "this is from a more enlightened age." You mean Age of Enlightenment, or the Age of Reason? I assure you, Buster, that the Age of Enlightenment/Reason did not include Sioux Suck Shit in their philosophy.

I DO know that years ago the NDSU Administration was very unhappy with this vulgar phrase which reflected poorly on the NDSU fanbase and university. I can sling a little hash with the best of 'em but it is a sad commentary that students who are in their formative years are yelling this out.

Lol this is too funny. “I like spitting in peoples’ faces but I don’t like it when other people spit in mine”

OU and SDSU fans look like idiots when they do horns down. I love it when they do it - free marketing and essentially telling the world that the other school is your daddy so much you made up your own hand sign for them.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Well its Sunday and I am still not completely sure what to think about that game yesterday.

We won but we definitely didn't deserve to win that game. Griz are who I thought they were they needed home field advantage, noise, a few calls and playing an almost near perfect game to beat a team that was the worst one you guys have had in more than a decade. We need double OT to win it, If we played 9 more time you guys would win all of them.

This was more a game of you guys losing it than us really winning it so its a weird day to try and be super stoked about the win. The really weird thing is this is the exact game that Big Game Bob always loses in the past. Now he going to get boat raced on the national stage by the Jackrabbits. The one thing that Hauck is really good at is losing big games and he will probably demonstrate that again in Frisco.

I wasn't that amazed by how close this game was as I was the outcome even though I knew if you guys were healthy you would have won yet again.

Congrats on the new head coach I hope he works out for you guys,

Merry Christmas to everyone in Bisonville enjoy your time with your friends and family.

P.S. If anyone has 4 tickets to Frisco all in the same area let me know, not sure if I really want to fly out there and watch whats going to happen but I need to keep options open.

We did have a good time in Missoula. The weather was so nice and the flights so expensive we drove (we are around painted canyon right now)
Every single griz fan that we met were welcoming and complimented Ndsu.
They were actually very gracious winners. Great atmosphere.
It just didn’t turn out the way we wanted.
