The NDSU people pounding on the Buy out thing is just stupid, I can see the message board trolls are going to be in full force this week already

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

Hello Bison fans. Another Bobcat fan here joining in and hoping to find some good back-and-forth to while away the days before the game.
My take? Probably nothing new. I think a Bobcat win would be a miracle of the tallest order. NDSU is superior across the board and stuffs the run consistently - not a good sign for a team whose bread-and-butter is trying to wear down a defense, establish the run and pile up the time of possession. I think a repeat of our game against South Dakota State (45-14 loss, 39 yards rushing) is a likely result. Sure, Troy Anderson was out that game and a lot has changed since then including our OC, but I think your D is that good. Our D is also pretty good but not good enough to keep us in the game if we can't get first downs.
Naturally I am hopeful for a better outcome (hope springs eternal among football fans) and as others have stated on this forum I love our heart and never-say-die attitude. But we are still very young and tend to start slow and we can't afford to do that on Saturday. In addition, your team has developed the ultimate trait of a champion, you don't ever take anyone lightly.
I'll watch and root my head off for the 'Cats on Saturday and hope for a miracle. What else can I do? Good luck to your team, and thanks is advance for treating any Bobcat fans that show up in the Fargodome with respect.
