I always enjoy reading other writer's analysis of the Bison.

I swear, that is some funny stuff. Thanks, Mike!!!

I wonder if G5 programs say the same thing about P5 schools. "Well, you know Alabama's front seven are pretty good but they're definitely not better than what we've seen here in the Sun Belt!"

I mean, I get it, you have to at least give the illusion that your team has a chance to keep things interesting but this strikes me more as ignorance than delusion.

Our rush D might be a little down this year, but McNeese? FFS...

Yep. Because when I think of SHSU I think of defense. I mean, they stacked up to us so well year after year!

Nicholls State isn't a bad team, but they are not at the same level as NDSU. The Bison take care of business by beating the Colonels 42-17 and increase the new FCS winning streak to 34 games.

Stay Focused, Stay Humble and Stay Hungry!!!

I’ll be surprised if this game is within 5 TDs.
