UND post-game thoughts.

1 - glad we don't have to listen to Dom going on and on about the rivalry for 4 years.
2 - glad we don't have to listen to Jeff going on and on about the rivalry for 4 years.

1 - I was surprised how few Sundog fans were actually in the dome
2 - I was equally surprised no "Sioux suck" chant

Gotta go back farther than that.

Bonus trivia question: When is the last time NDSU held a team to less than 61 yards in a game? I'm drawing a blank.

I thought it was this game but nope more yards in this one

I checked earlier in the week and it was 27.5 that day, so it was a lot higher at one point.

I have been around since 1981 and realize that the expectations for Bison football are extremely high. Beyond that, they have become somewhat unrealistic and we have been spoiled over the last few years. Three games in and the offense has put up over 36 points on average, but there is something wrong with the offense. The defense has played great the last two games. There is always room for improvement and there certainly was on special teams today. Win by 25 and it should be more. Perfection is never going to happen and some it seems are never satisfied. I think that we have officially become victims of the "Oklahoma Syndrome" of the 50's and 60's where winning is not good enough, it always has to be by wide margins and perfect. Maybe that's the nature of BV.

By the way, go over to SS---they realize with this narrow and sloppy Bison win where they rate in the FCS universe.

Where I challenge things isn't based on the talent on the field, it is philosophy. I think the players have a great deal of talent, to the point their efforts in the weight room may not be being properly utilized (hopefully yet).

To me bison football is defense via the offense limiting the oppositions positions so bison can be more aggressive on d. Also super clean play and special teams. Spoiled yes, but when there is opportunity I would much rather see a shut out than 40 points scored.

When the team has significantly superior talent i expect a win plus doing it by running the ball and dictating the game. "Taking what the defense gives you" is kinda like letting them dictate what you do.

NDSU will have a tough time repeatedly recruiting super skill positions to attempt and have success with a more open offense.

They CAN repeatedly get punch you in the face, "chip on shoulder" o and d line guys.

The video produced by NDSU and shown IIRC during the first time out in the third quarter was one of their best ever. Highlights from several different sports during the D-I era. Kind of rubbing it in that we are more than a one sport school.

Yes.....grrreat video with all the NCAA tournament teams and individual qualifiers (Amy Anderson track & wrestling etc.....)
Weren't Roger Thomas, Kupchella et al sure NDSU was going to fail in the Div I move.....

Also loved the pre-game video featuring highlights from all the FBS victories, Kansas State & the Gophers and all,
given N_rth Dak_ta was so hyping the Wyoming victory......
