shit,........Nike will have em in purple-green-yellow G-strings and striped genital by paint by then..........................oh.................. ....and hard plastic retro golf hats.
a lot can change in 5 years.
2010 we were 9-5 (3-8 the year before)
Oregon was in the national title game though.
So does this encourage our freshmen to be walking into Coach K's office and yelling "redshirt me!". Seriously, this is a nice way to break it to young men that do redshirt there are games in the future they will be needed past the ocho peat. You stay, do it our way, and you will be champions and beat Oregon.
Be prepared to be introduced to the worst, most entitled football fans in all of college football. Serious.
I like where you are going, but I'm going with this comparison instead (outside of Blount,

Oregon had no answer for them):

I can't handle all this. Game day at SDSU. FBS game at Oregon. Breaking news that Game day may occur at NDSU. Where is my inhaler?
They are the worst kind of fans. Spoiled, entitled, and they don't really know football at all. All they know in the college football world is that they are Oregon, everyone is inferior to them, and they beat everyone by 35+ at home. They will give NDSU 0 respect, and they won't know an ounce of NDSU's tradition. I would put money down that 90% don't even know our story the last 5+ years, with multiple Championships and FBS upsets.
Will be a fun game to watch to see how we can handle that offense.
Stanford and AZ beat them using a ground game and style similar to ours. They aren't unbeatable but if you don't play perfect the game can get completely out of hand in a matter of minutes. They are a scary team to face
That is most fans of any program. Then you have Bisonville, where it is a different level. I forget what all the ducks have, but it is probably the pond or whatever other boards out there with hardcore fans who talk about football and college sports non-stop. There are guys from this board who have set up their DVRs to play Bison games in their home offices from when they wake up to when they go to sleep. We have Bison brothers and sisters who would subscribe to game tape services if they could. I have only watched a game more than once a couple of times in my life. I'll look for plays here and there, but my level of involvement is at probably the 88% percentile. I am guessing the norm for Bisonville is everyone here is in the top 10% with some in the insane top 2-3%. The regular fan who does not go to message boards and might be sitting next to you at the game makes up the rest. They are not necessarily uninformed, they are just there for the immediate gratification of the tailgating and game experience. A lot of those don't even watch the away games on TV between times you saw them last. Past those who actually frequent message boards, which sets people apart, average joe fan cares about their school or team only and sometimes only because someone they care about cares about the school or team.
Absolutely. Our offense is built to keep the ball away from their offense and wear down their defense. Our power running game works against anyone.
Oregons offense is all about Big Plays.
The Tampa 2 is all about preventing big plays. These big play teams don't always like to dink and dunk and get impatient. That's when deep balls are picked off, balls bounce off of hands across the middle or are overthrown into the safeties for a pick six
I say if we have a team along the same caliber as we've had we will compete. We would have to play a flawless game and have a little luck to win but it won't be a blowout. No way. I would put nothing past this team including an epic Kstate style win.
There's a lot of ifs and caveats with this statement, but I'm on the same page. Assuming both teams are playing a similar caliber of ball in 2020 as they have the past few years, I'd be surprised by a blow out. I still think NDSU would only have an outside shot to win, but any given saturday, man...
Fuck you, Mont. You're just a closet Husky fan...
Seriously, though. After Frisco last year, I went to Jerry's World and watched the UO/OSU game. That experience really woke up and sobered up a lot of Duck fans. Not only to their team's performance, but also their fandom, and their shitty band. I absolutely hate the Buckeyes but those dudes showed that they traveled well and can make a place their own home. It was certainly impressive. Almost any Duck fan that I talk to that was at the game speaks very humbly these days.
I hope both schools are on the same arc they are on now. One thing the top ten schools have outside of the rest of the country is absolute deadly speed up and down the roster. Yes, crazy speed, but it is real crazy speed. The one thing NDSU has done better than anyone consistently outside the top 20 schools in the nation is recruit disciplined football players who know how to embrace a system and maximize their potential within that system. If both schools are in similar places they are today, it will be speed vs. technique. Keep their offense off the field, play smashmouth disciplined football, and a lot of good things can happen. Until then there is a lot of business to take care of.
On September 12, 2020, Oregon plays Ohio State in Eugene.
Also, keep an eye on the Duck vs WY rematch. Wyoming playes them again I believe in 2017 and that may give us an indicator of sorts. Last years Wyoming blowout really didn't, NDSU would have been a considerably more competitive opponent last year than WY was. I'd expect WY to be playing an improved caliber of ball by 2017
5 years is a long way off but I will have to make this one.
If the Bison play the same style of ground and pound, they will be in the game.
Wow! I'm stoked we got a big name FBS game for the future! I gotta say, as excited as I am about this game, the match up worries me. Remember when Taiwan Jones destroyed our D? Try facing a team that is FILLED with that kind of athleticism. Or think back to when Oregon played Kansas State in the Fiesta bowl (2012?), it began with a sprint straight to the endzone for an Oregon TD and they never looked back. Don't get me wrong, I think NDSU can (and will) show up to play with pride, but it will be an extremely difficult game with all odds stacked against us. The other thing that worries me is how we love to rotate our players to keep them fresh. I'm not sure our guys will be able to do that if plays are being snapped within a few seconds of the last play. As tough as the game will be, I'm absolutely positive that regardless of the outcome, I will be as proud of the Herd as I've ever been. That's what makes being a Bison fan so great.
Here's the guys who would play Oregon, assuming they all redshirt. Hey we know they are big enough. We got 4 olineman, 2 TEs, a QB and a running back. Got 2 linebackers and a DE. Need more players dammit!
