Bison Injuries

This sucks. The good news is Connor played every game at LT last year so we will be solid there. I'm more concerned about LG where we are way less experienced now but we have some options. Curious if we make any changes to get the best 5 on the field like moving Kuhnert back to LG... But then our RG will be thinner. Need Messner and Ziemer to step up. Good news is Ziemer is a 5th year senior which is valuable but he just hasn't cracked the lineup at a starter.

Sounded to me like they were going to keep Conner at guard and move Bacon to LT.

Knowing Bryce Messner and his family for so long, I've paid close attention to him. He's definitely inexperienced (having spend his first 3 years in the program at DL). He's a good run blocker, but haven't seen much of him pass blocking. When they brought him in as an extra TE last year (wearing #98), they ran behind him pretty much every time. A few big plays last year: The TD runs in overtime against Charleston Southern and EWU, and in the Iowa game -- Frazier's short TD run, and a crucial 3rd and 4 and 4th and 2 in the last Bison TD drive. He definitely blew a nice hole on every play...

Amen, but why two and not three? He redshirted last year, no? Am I missing something?

It totally sucks for these guys, but next man up. If you have no depth you will not be standing at the end. It’s that simple

(unrelated ... screw McFeely and his stupid opinions. He’s not really a Bison fan anyway. He's just here to piss us off).

That was a SHITTY column today. I don't know why he even covers NDSU athletics. He's got zero useful opinions on the post game show. He's a net negative to the broadcast.

Click bait master he is. Do not click on him. He is a putz... Injuries happen every year. It is life, it sucks but you move forward.

Is the recovery time about 6 weeks, after surgery? Until you could start training again. My wife just said 9 months.

It all depends on if the knee is being "cleaned up" or a reconstruction. Reconstructions is closer to 9-12 months for full return. Sometimes a "cleanup" can be minor and the return to play is quite short.

Messner was a beast last year during those plays. Glad they utilized him in that fashion and hope it happens again. I could see him being a lead FB in short yardage plays too as I am not convinced our current RBs will be as tough as King for that extra half yard.

Not sure if anyone was in the Sunday night chat, or read it after the fact, but McFeely brought up the media contract deal, AGAIN. Pathetic.


MIKE, I KNOW YOU ARE HERE READING THIS. GET OVER IT. IT IS IN THE PAST.

This. Best thing to do with those idiots is ignore them. They hate that.

Exactly, do not click on their stories. Do not listen to their shows. Their main goal is to get people pissed off and that makes them happy. They almost truly believe in nothing themselves. They just write based on which way the wind is blowing.
