GDT: NDSU vs Montana (Semifinals)

[unbison]

I think whoever scores more wins

I wonder if NDSU brought the younger kickoff guy? Would be good to kick it deep or through the endzone but I'm not sure if we have a guy that can do that.

Kick it into the stands.

The air is thinner at higher elevation and so there is less drag on the ball from friction and the ball will sail more.

If you want to bulk up your long drive ego go play some golf in Breckenridge, CO at 9,600 feet.

Edit: and in an interesting sort of paradox there is also less "lift" and so it is harder to get an aircraft airborne at altitude.

Edit 2: I'm not a physicist so this is all speculative but I don't think a thrown football will have as much increased relative carry as a flighted golfball at different altitudes. This is because the thrown football is spinning axially while the golf ball is spinning backwards. So for the golfball the air is traveling relatively faster over the top of the ball than the bottom, thereby generation some lift due to the lower pressure on top. The pressures are the same on the top and bottom of a thrown football. That all sounds right in my head anyway...

I am so sick of spherical earth propaganda.

Their QB will not be able to pick us apart so keep him in the pocket and have a spy which could also keep a LB near scrimmage for run plays as well.

I’ve been saying it all week, early consistent pressure will get to this guy. He will throw multiple balls up for grabs.

Bergen will most likely get at least one good return, maybe even for a TD but as we saw last week they needed 2 special teams touchdowns to end the game in a tie.

I like the Bison in this one. Close game, maybe even trailing at half but a “comfortable” win in the end.

Bison by 10.

Which brings up the Coriolis Effect and I'm sure mtoutfitter could offer a primer on this one.

I don't think the elevation necessarily impacts this effect in any way. I say this because you can see its effects rampant in any football game played anywhere. Basically it is detected when a QB throws the ball to where a receiver USED to be rather than where they are.

Edit: OTOH, when you are higher then you are moving farther during rotation and so intuitively the effect should be increased. But, not a physicist. I have no clue.

Two keys to the game for the Bison is pass rush and tackling. Rattle their QB early, tackle him when you get to him and you will force him into bad throws which hopefully leads to an INT. Hope we have a good tackling week like we did last week. I think this offense will be hot today playing the game for Roehl to be the next HC!

Bison by 14!

I'm going with a batch of this at halftime. Should do the trick.
