All I can say is history tends to repeat itself. You (K-state) have a history the past few years of having a tough time against your FCS opponents (really crappy teams at that). We (NDSU) have a history the past few years of outplaying our FBS opponents (I don't care who they are). This year will show to be no different for either school. The only difference will be is that we aren't a crappy FCS school that will give up in the last quarter. What you will see is YOUR team giving up in the 4th quarter and US getting stronger. I won't say an outcome to the game, but I think it's clear on which way I'm leaning here. Flame away if you must but all you will be doing is puffing smoke.

I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

They better hope not. KSU sucked against a really bad EKU and had to rally to win.

The pussycats had to score with 1:39 left in the game to take their first lead and win it.

There will be no rally against a Bison football team. The real laugher is the trolls from K State seem to forget how poorly they can play in the first game. Hell, they had only a 16-9 lead after three quarters on an awful Missou State last year! These trolls can boast all they want, but the reality is they have played 7 terrible quarters of football in two games the last two years against very marginal FCS squads. The fact that they think the game against NDSU will be any different can only come from a delusional mind.
I think the parallels between 2011 and 2013 are interesting. Lots of new starters, a sprinking of veterans, and a number of JUCOs playing their first DI football game.
The march will soon be on.
IMHO, the only way to do an unbiased comparison of this game is to use last year's final Sagarin ratings and this season's preseason ranking. K-State has a preseason ranking of #26. NDSU's final Sagarin rating last year was #35. NDSU has nearly everyone back so comparing last year's Bison team to this years preseason K-State seems reasonable to me.
Assuming last year's #26 Sagarin team is the same as this year's preseason #26 ranking, we see the difference between #26 and #35 is a whopping 2.32 pts(not considering home field advantage). How do you like them apples? Or should I say "Little Apples"?

You're clearly not disillusioned. That's the problem. You see, disillusionment happens when your illusion is removed. Your feelings of superiority to a good FBS football program is the illusion.
I ventured over here to talk about football, but it's nearly impossible to do so with the loudest of you. You've beaten up on your second rate subdivision for too long now to realize that almost none of your athletes warranted scholarship offers from BCS conference schools. The very best of your best.... They're just not good enough.
Your constant snipping over the last few days proves your ill intentions in the first place. Your team is not last years team. This is a typical down year after a big one as has been the roller coaster of KSU football. Your success is not sustained and you will have a much tougher time in this game than you think. That is all I have ever said.
