    A quick disclaimer: I have not watched a NDSU game this year. I support another FCS team. That said, I have looked at statistics and the Bison are at or near the top of some important categories. They appear to be in usual top form. No real surprise. The program just keeps dominating opponents. But I wondered if I might be missing something so I looked at this year's schedule, and it became apparent that only one of the five teams that NDSU has played thus far has a winning record! The five first opponents have a combined record of 8 - 18. Remove Eastern Washington from the mix and NDSU's opponents are a combined 4 - 16.

    So those early season stats really don't mean much. The game on 10/14, on the other hand DOES mean something. It starts to get real now. I suspect that the Bison will be ready but it won't be easy.

    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.

    Watched today's game and must say that the Bison did not disappoint. Trailed at Y State and recovered. But they also allowed Y State back in to tie. Two good teams, one kicker better than the other. Hard nosed football teams both. Two playoff teams, I say.

    Luckily for us, Klieman didn't call TO to "ice" their kicker.
