Well that's somewhat true,...:
1. Fake Field goal - everyone in our house said they need more points, this might be a fake, and so it was.....omg, special teams in 2 Natty's in a row, not good!
2. 2 stalled offensive drives in 4th qtr, - so predictable play calling, EWU knew we would just run and take no chances, 3 and out, 3 and out - that won't fly in Manhattan...
3. 10minute drive from hell - OUTSTANDING WOW! in a Nat.Title Game, but couldn't put points on the board...thank God we had 14 point cushion.
4. After missed chip shot - guess what EWU is going to do, throw some deep balls fast, MAtt Entz - WHAT the Hell are you doing not putting Cox in the Middle of the field to stop some of those massive sink holes in the field... so they fly free untouched? No one in the middle lots of the game? REALLY! We got lucky EWU made mistakes....
5. Lastly - THANK YOU HERD - EASTON for being one tough SOB. Throws 3 TDS and runs 2 in, incredible stats in a title game and it wasn't our best, SDSU was THE GAME!
We left lots on the field, yet the lack of experience of the other team helped give us some breaks, but that's not our fault, EWU not a disciplined team for having 27 seniors....
So us Bison Fans have to quit being so picky, take a 14 point win and enjoy it right? Its tough when you expect perfection every week....
Its been a fun run for the past 8 years......can we get 4 more NATTYs in 4 years....? why not.

I'm not always for just about anything.
The Game situation matters quite a bit sometimes.
Any number of points there ends the game. A first down also ends the game. 95 percent chance to make the kick. Less than that to get a first down. That ignores some sublties but it seems pretty straight forward to me.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
So what's next? Eight would be Great?

Happens every year. My favorite is the dork saying ndsu isnt unbeatable after going 15-0.
Ewus defense did well. Running back was tough. QB was below impressive besides a few throws, he looked immature out there.
They'll be back because of the bad big sky. Probably a top 4 seed again.
Im happy it wasn't decided at halftime
EWU is one of the better teams the Bison have played in Frisco...always respect your opponent. Everybody that thought we would steamroll them was obviously wrong. Then, those same people claim the Bison played poorly forgetting that there was actually another good team on the field that had a lot to do with the Bison's "poor play".
What about all of the spoiled fans who have been clamoring for closer games? Were they happy when there was actually a chance the game could be lost? I can only imagine the clamor to "fire Klieman"! Lol!
The FCS national championship is one of the hardest titles to win in all of sports. Period. Just ask all of those other teams not named NDSU. Every championship is deserved, no matter if it is won by a single point or 40, and not nearly enough credit is given to the runner-up.
