SDSU v. NDSU

[89rabbit]

I'm just saying running on their defense hasn't been a problem for anyone this year. *If you read the national I-AA pages they all talk about how the Georgia Southern defensive line is very weak this season. *Nothing impressive about being able to run on them while playing them at home.

And all I am saying is their D was good enough to beat the #1 team in the land and the Eagles are currently ranked #10 in the nation so they must not be too bad.

Yes, but SDSU didnt beat GSU. In fact, the game was never in doubt but not an embarassment. Its tough to draw conclusions considering the motivation of the GSU defense was to keep you guys under 50. Thats not say Watson and SDSU wont bring a good running game. We experienced it first hand last yr and you have earned respect this season. I still see the edge for NDSU in almost every catagory. Its thin but its amplified by homefield advantage.

The game will be decided on who wins on the line of scrimmage.

I beg to differ, the score at half was GSU 21 - SDSU 14. As a matter of fact the score was tied in the 3rd Qtr. So in fact this game was in question. I am sorry that the Bison haven't played as many top 10 teams as the Jackrabbits this season, but that is no reason to put those quality schools down or dog on the efforts of the Jackrabbits. :

Go South Dakota State! ;D

I'm sorry that we didn't play as many dii and diii teams as the jacks did.

I'm not the one trying to convince people that #10 Georgia Southern is having an "off year".

Go Jackrabbits! ;D

Congratulations Jacks fans, that your team came within 13 points of beating Georgia Southern. Here's your cookie. Here's another cookie for coming within 8 points of beating Cal-Poly. Allz I'm looking for is WINS, personally. And against I-AA teams, NDSU has FIVE and SDSU has 3 (and I'm GIVING you folks Valparaiso). Let's take a look at your team and ours, shall we??

SDSU 3-4 against I-AA:

W against a non-scholly Valpo team at home
L at a tough (playoff-bound) Montana team (here's another cookie)
L at home against a tough (playoff bound) Cal-Poly team
L at Texas State, got reamed right up the a@#$%
W at home, a close one, against a good Cal-Davis team (I'll give you that one)
L at home against a tough (playoff-bound) Georgia Southern team
W at home against a sorry Southern Utah team

NDSU 5-3 against I-AA:

W Convincing win over a very good NW St. team ON THE ROAD
W at home, a SHUTOUT against a decent Weber St. team
L in the last minutes at a playoff-bound Montana State team
W at home against a good Nicholls State team
L at playoff-bound Cal-Poly, an embarrassing loss
L at home against a good Cal-Davis team
W ON THE ROAD at a bad So. Utah team
W Shutout smackdown at home against a bad No. Colorado team

So as you can see, numbers don't lie. You beat one fully-funded I-AA team, one partially-schollied I-AA team and one non-scholly I-AA team. Meanwhile, we beat FOUR fully-schollied I-AA teams and one partial-schollied I-AA team.

Have fun in Fargo.

Maybe this is turning into a rivalry after all.

I think if NDSU can't stop the run they could be in big trouble. Having said that, I think they will stop the run and will win in a close game.

If they get a lead early and force a few turnovers they could win by 3 scores but I expect a closer game than that.

I hope I can stay somewhat sober until 6PM so I can actually watch the game. I think I missed a few plays last week and annoyed Bison Country when I kept asking, "what happened?"

Chubs Pub in the AM!

Yes, you do, but remember, you have to pay to transport it to Fargo. I would only buy a one way ticket for it if I were you.
