KSU fan here: Two weeks out what are the chances NDSU beats K-State?
First, let me say I am totally impressed with your fan support, your team success, tradition, your facility, and quality of players you will field. I have been a KSU fan for 41 years that I have lived in Manhattan. I really cannot recall a non conf opponent whose fans were as pumped or confident as the Bison group. Obviously each group of fans is very loyal and the expectations are high as the season opens. So...what is the likelihood of NDSU winning the game. Put your answer in a percentage form. I give the Bison a 20% chance. That means nothing but it's my answer. I think many KSU fans would pick a smaller number than that. I think if you asked Bill Snyder he would say something like "If K-State isn't focused and gives their best effort it might be 100% chance of NDSU winning". That is the way he thinks and coaches. So, try and be objective and give your best guess.
By the way, the new stadium is almost done. Doing landscaping and some finish work. Will def be ready for the game. Stopped and looked at it tonight. It's going to be a great setting for the game with both fan bases very pumped. How many Bison fans do you think found tickets? Thanks

If we control the ball with our running game...if Brock Jensen passes well...we have a better than average chance of making it a good game.
I just want a game.

Id say 30-35%, but NDSU needs a time of possession domination like @ Colorado St(40-20) for their best chance.
I dont think KState will march up and down on the NDSU defense either since its real experienced, and real good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I would agree with the 30-35% chance.
The Bison offense should be able to move the ball on K-State. NDSU is not a flashy spread offense team. Blue-collar power west coast offense that thrives on the running game and TOP.
K-State is a huge test for this team.
Will be a good game.

I'm just counting new threads by KS fans until kickoff....

Threads like this work. I am a bit concerned with the Gabe of the South (or Gabe by the Lake depending on the season) starting a few more repeats.

My confidence level is at about 35-40%
Re: KSU fan here: Two weeks out what are the chances NDSU beats K-State?
I give the Bison about a 20% chance of winning, but I am like CA, I just want a good game.
However, if K State scores easily and fast on their first possession of the game, like CSU did last year and Minnesota did in '07 and '11, then I will raise my probability to about 65%. When FBS teams score easily against an FCS team, they tend to relax and think that this will be much easier than they thought, and that is when the stampede will begin. Slowly at first, then a trot, and finally the herd will bury what's in front of them.
So, I hope one of your kick specialists runs back the opening kickoff. Game, set, match.
