Too bad there are no sdsu threads to write to. If only there was a thread titled something like "upcoming game: @sdsu".

Too bad there are no sdsu threads to write to. If only there was a thread titled something like "upcoming game: @sdsu".
Most every thread at Bisonville is subject to thread drift. So why would you think this one would be different? At least the discussion about SDSU was somewhat related to the fact they just edged NDSU out for the top FCS Sagarin rating. Many threads get derailed and filled with bathroom humor. Just sayin.
Hell man I don't have any for myself. Oh and for the people mad about thread drift. Sagarin.Quote:

This topic has been discussed before, and I don't think you are in the minority.Quote:

Bunnies are the game of the week. Sagarin makes NDSU a 1 point road favorite (only because we're coming off the bye and they aren't).
UNI @ Illinois State has big implications as well. Ill St is a 5.5 point favorite.
