Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
For over a year, I have had to live with JMU as the reigning champions... and I don't like it at all -- the more vocal of their fan base are obnoxious as hell -- frankly they act a bit needy, and insecure... I want only one thing -- to Humble JMU and their whiny insecure fan base -- and the only way to humble them will be with a dominating win today... I want revenge, I want vindication!
- Bison Defense demonstrates why they are the best in the FCS!
- The Rams dominate the line of scrimmage, road grading and allowing big runs!
- Our WRs actually get separation, and sell the PI calls
- Easton has that breakout performance that puts him on the radar for NFL scouts
Bison stampede their way to another trophy -- JMU is devastated in a soul crushing loss!

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
Since the SDSU loss, we’ve looked unstoppable. It shall continue. Best team wins today as the Bison take control from the start. My first Frisco absence and sick about missing a 27-10 Bison title win.

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
In a game sure to be won/lost in the trenches, the Bison play with a chip on their shoulder and win by 2 scores. Bison Nation shows JMU what tradition and team truly looks like as we hold yet another home field advantage in Frisco!!

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
The Bison could not have asked for a better arrangement in which to extract some revenge. This game will get chippy at some point once the Bison start wearing them down. I also believe the fans in the stands will get a little edgy as well in the mixed sections of fans (though you will not see it on TV). Will be fun to watch the players get back our trophy. Show them we mean business, punch them in the mouth and keep your foot on their necks. Don't show JMU that you care about them in the least, make their own players help them up off the piles (let them spend energy on their own guys). Total embarrassment of JMU is the goal during the game, save accolades for the press conference.
Good guys -a lot, bad guys not -to much.
Bison-34
JMU-20

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
This is going to be a battle. They have what our players want. No doubt in my mind that our players have been the most focused I've ever witnessed since the SDSU debacle. We win this game with ball control offense and a stingy defense that will throw something at JMU that they've never seen and as a result we get a few TO's. My MVP for this game is Jeff Illies. He has a monster game with them stacking the box. 8 rec. 110 yds and 2 TD's.
Bison 31
JMU 17
is it 11:00 yet?

The weather looks like the best ever of the 6. Sunny, very little wind, and temps up to 60.

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
We punch them in the mouth early then finish them with body blows. 27-17 again only this time the good guys are on top. Go Bison!

I guess we know who to call for the party after we win the championship. They can provide all the party supplies

Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
It's cool to see injured guys coming back early, but I hope they don't play them at 80% like Klieman has had a tendency to do. Going to need to play this game at full speed.
Best team we've faced all year, but if the Bison play like they have the past few games there is no stopping them. Tough game but Bison win by 11.
