Next year Bison opponents

[CaBisonFan]

Can we please start another thread about the fullback hand-off, or lackthereof, in the Bison O-ffense? Because that would be just awesome...

Just stating a fact.

260 lb running back?! I have been saying that "we" need another Tyler Roehl type back. This type of player is RARE! but.... at times this year it would have been a VERY good asset.

Look how well it worked for Wofford... BRING IT!!!

I think Bell might have made that decision after the Ndsu game. That was one of the worse beat downs on a single player I have seen in a long while. He touched the ball nearly 30 times that game and was gang mauled on every carry. At least in the NFL, gang tackling is a little less common. Most defenders are good enough to take a Bell down one on one.

I have had the opinion that while guys get pounded on Sundays, it is more a one on one pounding. On Saturdays, Bell is good enough to require multiple hits to bring down and on that lone Saturday in October, he was getting destroyed on every carry from multiple angles. If it wasn't for an ISU win, I would almost felt bad for him.

Lastly, I am not saying he is going to even make a nfl roster, but his game might be better suited for the pro level. His options are to possibly get paid to contribute within a system or to carry the rock 350 times next year being one hit away from zero chance to play on Sundays.

how about we start a thread just for you....so you can talk about exactly what you want. Everyone promises to pat you on the back, give you a hug and tell you your ideas are the only one the matters. After all....isn't that what a forum is all about?

The kid got the crap beat out of him week after week. The coaching change may be the best thing to ever happen to him. I lost a ton of respect for the ISU coaching staff after watching how they treated him the last few years. I don't know if Bell can handle the next level but at least they will take concussions seriously. He couldn't walk a straight line and staggered like a drunk back to the sideline and his coaches knew it and sent him back out there.

I think he's "only" 240 lbs. There are some links to youtube highlights at http://www.anygivensaturday.com/show...-football-fans. I think he's the biggest player on the field in most of those highlights.

While we still have football to play and things to take care of this year. The rest of the MVFC is focusing on next year and a couple interesting things going on.

There is talk on the ISU Blue board that Shakir Bell will may declare for the draft

ISU Red picked up a 260 lb Juco Running back. If the kid has talent, that is a load to bring down.

I saw him get helped off the field several times in the HS state championship thinking he was done only to come back and play more. He helped will his team into an incredible overtime win. He's a tough runner for a small guy. That probably isn't good for his long-term career but I think it's the way he plays. Not sure what his NFL prospects are but he's been considered too small but succeeded where he's been so far so I wouldn't count him out.

I can't get over how incredibly ironic your post is. Thanks, dude.
