When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

I like the optimism from both sides. I agree with what 344Johnson said...our guys know how to win in big games, in close games, and at FBS schools. I see a 2011 playoff-esque performance from our D, and we dominate these guys on the scoreboard similar to Georgia Southern. Remember, Georgia Southern had teh crazy speed on both sides of the ball, and an amazingly athletic, hard to prepare for offense. Butt 'Bama. Pfffft. NDSU-35, CSU-10.
Have fun to all that are going. Is there gonna be a Bozeman type of roadtrip thread? That needs to happen.
Other predictions:
Bri-dog's head explodes from all the awesomeness about to take place 1 hour from his house.
Slick will not get knocked on his ass, as Fort Collins is full of hippies and not cowboys. He will be in his element.
Road will be there, and Gabe will start a thread.
EZQB never leaves Ft. Collins. He becomes a contributing columnist to "High Times." The rest of the Frisco Cruiser crew weeps with happiness to be rid of dead weight.
SD will drink 38 beers, and not feel a thing. He is overheard mumbling something about "this 3.2 beer is bullshit."
My Mom yells louder than your Mom.
CSU is not better than Minnesota last year.
The offense might struggle early but that is what adjustments are for. Our defense will take it to them.
Bison win 35-13
We win 3-0 on a 52 yarder by Adam Keller. Everything this year rests on his leg imo....
Williams will house one this week. I gotta believe he is one POd hombre. #Bison 24-14.
I originally felt this would be a relatively easy win for the Bison. Not anymore, not with PetitionGate hanging over the heads of the players. Ojuri now has two legal issues to deal with, there is the Jemison issue, and now multiple players in a legal mess. These distractions will take their toll, in my opinion. There were a lot of distractions in 2009, as I recall. And before you all blow up, I am not prediciting a 3-8 season.
This is a great post. It sounds like our teams are quite similar. I'm guessing one reason Coach Mac isn't overlooking us is because he was there when GSU ran for 300 on Alabama, and later noticed how the Bison manhandled GSU.
I don't think Coach Bohl is overlooking CSU either, for what it's worth.
The distractiongate that's going on this week doesn't help the Bison. I'm curious to see how the players will respond to that come gametime. Wish I could be there, that's for sure.
