Bison do Bison things and win this with halftime adjustments and get the win. Culhane enjoys Mccomb more than usual.
27-13
Re: GDT: NDSU vs. Western Illinois
I wouldn't be surprised if WIU came out with the same plan as UNI last week. Abandoning the run and throwing almost exclusively... Their qb seems more capable than Dunne... Wiu's points will come early. Bison run game is too strong for WIU to handle... bison score late and often...

Hmmm...this thread was 21 minutes late. Better have a good excuse, or my superstition anxiety will be off the chart all day. :)
Flag is up.
Gameday shirt on.

Let's go Bison!!!
Gonna go watch some Bison LAX today before the football game. They play the Gophers. I may be the only Bison fan there, but that's ok. The team might think...who is this lunatic? I'll try to post a pic.
Re: GDT: NDSU vs. Western Illinois
I have a feeling that last week's game (quarters 1-3) have our Bison motivated to not let that happen today. WIU can and will probably move the ball through the air, but our offense will bludgeon them with whatever they want to. I anticipate a very lopsided TOP in our favor. With Shep's last 2 games where he was a standout in the passing game, my belief is Ellefson and Jenson have big days.
Bison 45
'Necks 13

Out hunting with my dad on a nice saturday. These Muddy hunting blinds are nice when you are with a 78 year old who can't take the cold anymore. Game changer. Speaking of game changer...Bruce and Greg will be ours today..Bison win 45-17.
