Mission: Beat SDSU

[CaBisonFan]

This season sucks but a win over SDSU would be huge. They are having a great year so far and they are going to be in the mix for a playoff spot. I want to ruin it for them. Let's embarrass them by taking our worst team in nearly 35 years into their house and bring home the rock. I could care less about the rest of the season. This game is it.

Good plan Mike. We've never been physically out of a game. The stars have to line up, like theirs have the last two seasons against us. Interesting how the table has been turned.

I agree with your plan totally. We have one game left...and the rest are scrimmages to give the young guys experience for next year. It's the only game where the outcome really matters.

Underdog at SDSU. Now there is an oxymoron.

[Thumper 76]

Yep, this one's going to be a dogfight.

As we all know, records mean squat come saturday of NDSU vs. SDSU.

I hope the 'rabbit D can contain Paschall.

After 3 weeks of away games, I'm ready to be back in CAS. I NEED to be back in CAS!

Amen to that. We could be undefeated and have beaten Cal Poly by 50 pts, and the Bison not scored a touchdown yet this season and it still would be a tight game. Both teams are going to be UP for this game and ready to rumble. Its going to be a GREAT DAY at CAS.

I agree, it sucks, but what else do we have right now.

We win the stupid rock, win out the season, and things do not look so bad. I know if we win out, a SHSU win and a ISU red win puts us in play off contention, but we lost those games, and three others like it. We have to win out, and kicks a rabbit in the groin.

No offence Mike, but this thread makes me sick.

We are now reduced to the mindset that SDSU usually had about us.

The role of spoiler is disgusting.

SHEESH 1 and 5 and all the talk is Division II. Glory Days by Springsteen has nothing on NDSU. SDSU thinks you have a good football team. Saturday will be a great day for football. It would be great if your fans would back your players for a change.

It would salvage the season. Who knows? If we can beat the Bunnies, we could go on a run and finish 5-5 or even 6-5. The toughest game on the schedule after that is Western Illinois. I'd like to think we can take care of Missouri State and Youngstown at home. That would make us all feel a lot better. Improvement is what we need to be looking for to gain momentum for next year. Then we could end they year like this...

6-5
4-3 in conference play
A win over a ranked team on the road
Played UNI/SIU competitively.
Lost a close game to a FBS team.
Momentum gained for next year

That would be a hell of way to salvage the season.

A win this week would be great! I also think it would gain the team a great amount of confidence heading into the late season.

As long as this type of record gives everybody a warm and fuzzy feeling ?? , I personally find this totally unacceptable. This is NDSU Bison Football we are talking about here, maybe some teams would consider this as a succesful season, Bison supporters should never consider this acceptable. I know where you are coming from Gabe, and I would like to see these guys go out as winners. The drums are beating, and if this type of season repeats next year, somebody needs to be shown the door.

For this year, that would be considered a success given the fact that we're 1-5. But overall, I agree, it would be a failure. Standards are high here and nobody will ever be content unless we go and make the playoffs and contend. Since the playoffs are not a possibility, we need to set other goals and that should be to finish .500 or higher, beat SDSU, and gain momentum for next year. And yes, if we see this type of garbage net year, we need to explore our options because 3 years in a row in not an abberation- it's a trend.
