How the great high-arching heaven
Looks and laughs upon it all!
It's obvious the fans of a team that has won 7 of the last 8 and has lost like 10 times in the last 9 years needs something to talk about. I also think the knee jerk reaction from the masses/media anytime any result(comparative scoring) is used to show NDSU is slipping causes our fans to preemptively fight back against the bs, even with bs of our own.

I don't see how it is? I am doing the exact opposite of defending them? Those teams were likely better. In fact, Elon beat JMU so no, they would not be offended. Also not twisting another teams win (Montana) and crediting NDSU with it. So not seeing how this relates.
I have no problem with NDSU talking about themselves as being superior. Seems they have been most years. I do have a problem with people attempting to discredit another teams win (Montana) because they happen to fall on the schedule one week later. What's wrong with just admitting Montana might also be pretty solid?
I tend to think any hangover effect is more of a possibility in a slugfest with another team with a similar identity and style of play as NDSU. Probably less so with more pass happy, spread em out-type teams.
Also, I’ve heard of 4-5 UCD injuries during the Bison game. Were they starters? Key losses? That could be a bigger factor than the “hangover effect.”
I also tend to think Montana is trending up and will be fighting for a seed come playoff time.
