I agree. We will be much deeper than 06 & 07.

I was going to add that no FBS team has taken us to the woodshed since our move up to D1 and I don't believe the '11 Gophers will be any different.
It sounds like our defense might be better than last year and all those freshman that played have that year of experience under their belt.
The Bison will not "roll" the Gophs but they will have a hard time beating us this coming year. It will most likely be a hard fought game but I expect a Bison win....like all games.
Good defense-run the ball-consistent passing game.....sky is the limit for this team this year.
GO BISON
**cannot wait for the moron "goldenshower" to come here and say we are all in lala land for believing we can beat the mighty Gophs.....

not sure what kfan youre talking about but twin cities media with the exception of ol Sid rip the gophers about as hard as wisky and hogeye fans. fargo media doesnt cover ndsu football enough but at least it isnt non stop negativity like the tc media.
i was at the gopher spring game on sat and i am considering going to the bison spring game with a friend of mine. it was a very vanilla scrimmage but just from what i know about bison football i think ndsu's front 7 will have success against our oline. we are pretty young on the oline. half of our wrs did not participate due to some nagging injuries but geshun harris looks like a player that can step in and replace gray. gray looked horrible passing the ball but was awesome running.
i still like our dline and im hoping they live up to their paper potential. but i think your oline will have success on our dline but we have linebackers that will be the difference in the gopher vs bison game. beal, tinsley, cooper, and rallis all looked very fast and big. this wont be the slow, soft gopher linebackers that your bowling ball ran over and through. but as of right now i think we will be too fast for the bison. this gopher team is actually physical on defense with speed and for how good the bison defense is/should be when you get those 2 linebackers healthy im thinking a 10-9 game. in the gophers favor our linebackers and the running ability of Gray will squeak out another gopher win, maybe my opinions will change if i can get to the bison spring game.

I think the consensus this year among Bison fans is what you said here. A consistent passing game that can complement the strong running game will be the key. I have to say, however, that the 8 sacks in the last scrimmage concern me a bit.

Nice spring game turnout, Squid:

That is the thing with spring ball though, is our DL just that good or is the OL that bad? Also which QBs are taking those sacks...In the highlights from WDAY I saw Jose take a sack and as we all know he is prone to taking a some sacks(a no contact scrimmage is just going to inflate that weakness).
I will say that I am more excited about next week's spring game than any previous game. Lots to check out from our skill players, to our QBs and also some new blood on both lines.

Can't believe the lack of interest for Gopher FB. Not one call into Sid about it. I think Kill will get them respectable.

If I remember right, you had an all american/conference linebacker, I think his name was Hightower. He looked like your best player on D, don't know how you remember him slow or soft?

hightower was not an all american/all conference. he was an average speed linebacker who couldnt tackle. the best defender we had was willie vandsteeg and he had a broken hand and played very little-not that it would have changed the outcome. the current gopher team would slaughter that 07 squad.
i considered him soft

kill is alright and there is interest in gopher football but spring games arent that big a deal to most schools across the country. there are the exceptions but i would gues 5-7k at the gopher spring game-i was there and it was freezing
