NDSU KSU Tailgate and Game Photos

[BigHorns]

Watching video of this entire game should be mandatory for all NDSU football players prior to the first game of each season. The 2013 team had discipline, character and talent. They played hard to the whistle and gave their all. They were confident, not cocky. They believed in the Bison tradition, were not selfish and came together as a team to accomplish great things. When the Bison got behind against Kansas State in the 3rd quarter they could have given up, but instead they got focused, executed most every play and won the game. Seems Bison football is losing some of that toughness as players become more self centered thanks to the transfer portal and NIL..

Agree, and well said. That 2013 team was hard working and a special group.

Part of team chemistry is developed by coaching and recruiting the right players, but the portal and NIL have changed things. Its now "me first" instead of "team first", and there is not as much patience for playing time. The star players all think they are bigger than their current team, and look to jump for money and fame.
