#1 Sam Houston State vs #2 North Dakota State

Not crying at all just stating a fact that you would not be here with out this run in December. Im willing to bet the only game you attended at SHSU is the Semi-Final and you maybe didnt even make that.

Well good then, you can readily admit that the conference schedule padded the stats for them since you got to see them perform under their average for WIU SB and UM.

I can readily admit that I didn't see the Bearkats lose to a 6-5 team at home. I know that much.

I've yet to see you bring anything to the table other than calling other posters dumb. Your line that prompted my response was sophomoric at best. I do feel like Montana was a better offensive team than the Bison and presented more challenges. They also pounded UNI and the Bison weren't capable of it.

NDSU beat UNI very comfortably. Should we say that because they managed to score 37 against WIU that means they are 17 pts better against common opponents? Your rep says it all "can only hope to improve"

[Sambow]

First of all, "North Dakota" isn't eligible for the playoffs yet.

Second, SHSU has had one quality win in the playoffs, NDSU's wins were never in doubt. This still speaks to the quality of the SHSU conference schedule to rack up such gaudy stats only to not live up to it come playoff time.



He's got a great point, Trolly McBandwagon. If SBU had won, we would never have had to suffer your idiocy.

Not living up to it come playoff time? That is hilarious. They made the Championship Game!!!!! I guarantee you that there isn't one team in the playoffs that would not take a one point win and be happy with it this time of year including your Bison. W's are all that matter.

Well, Sam did hold WIU to fewer points and yards but I wasn't going to go there since the game was 9/1. Lol, my rep.

[katstrapper]

ND4ever,

How can you say SHSU only had one quality playoff win? What is your definition of a quality playoff win?

[katstrapper]

I don't see that NDSU defense giving 21 point in the opening 7 minutes...
They are just way too coached up and technically sound - I shudder to think what three weeks with that D-coordinator studying Sam Houston can do
I know this: Sam Houston better have a whole bunch of new looks on offense to throw out there come game day

Same comments as Montana fans about their defense, "technically sound. Very disciplined, etc......"

[Gil Dobie]

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

SHSU ain't GSU. :)

Yup.

SHSU's offense is faster and less clumsy than GSU's. Sam won't cough up the turnovers that GSU did.

[Sambow]

I hope so.

[Ajax]

Turnovers are a bit unpredictable. Even though these two teams don't cough it up very often, there's no saying one of these teams can't have a bad day in that department. If they do, it's lights out.
On a side note, all the talk, on-line bravado, and chest-thumping about how unstoppable this or that is sucks because that's all we can do until this game actually starts! The waiting game makes me crazy!xeyebrowx

[Gil Dobie]

SHSU ain't GSU. :)

Never said they were. I have had SHSU rated #1 longer than most, since week 9, and probably have more respect for them than most going into the playoffs. I have not had NDSU rated #1 this year at any time. I was responding to some one that said people from Montana sais so and so.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I hope so.


This is what the game will probably come down to....turnovers.

[Professor Chaos]

Another interesting factoid, this isn't the 1st time SHSU has squared off against a team from the Fago-Moorhead area in a national title game. In 1964 Sam Houston played Concordia Univeristy (Moorhead, MN) for the NAIA National Championship (http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/bowls/yearly_results.php?year=1964). The game ended in a 7-7 tie and the teams shared the title. I guess the moral of this story is if we've learned anything in the last 48 years it's that there's no such thing as a freakin tie in college football! Especially in a championship game.

This Saturday is the big game - the Sam Houston State Bearkats and the North Dakota State Bison will face off at noon at Pizza Hut Park for the 2012 NCAA FCS Football Championship. Teams will arrive in town on Wednesday. The game is a sellout, but a limited number of standing-room-only tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. today. Click here for ticket information. The local organizing committee, Team Frisco, and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce are also calling on all Frisco businesses to show off their team spirit this week. "We'll be hosting more than 21,000 football fans for a national championship 'sellout' that will be televised all over the country," said Mayor Maher Maso, honorary chairman of the committee. "Together, let's make our visitors feel at home - and deliver some southern hospitality, Frisco style."

[Hammerhead]

Times were different back then. The 1977 North Dakota high school hockey championship game ended in a tie after 8 overtimes. I guess nobody had invented the shoutout yet. :-) Both Grand Forks schools were named co-champions. That must have been fun since those were the only schools to take state since it began in 1961 through 1978.

Well with all of the big-time colleges that you have down there, it does make it tough to compete for fan base around there. Sad, a game like this you would hope pulls in some of the other college fans around Texas to pull for you. I am sure, as much as Sioux Fans hate the Bison, a good bunch of them are probably still rooting for them in this game. State Pride means something I think too.

Wow - again......................................sarcasm guys.

lol I know, it's still funny. I just got done listening to people talking about Tebow and it drives me nuts.

[BisonHype!]

I think Tebow needs some work before he will be a legit QB in the NFL. He no doubt has the drive to win, and he has proved he can win tight games, but this is a Pass-Happy NFL these days. Needs to throw to get the respect at the QB position.

[deez_na]

Yes there is no doubt he has the drive to win but he just isn't a passer, it's like watching a field goal ball flipping through the air when he throws it. His defense is the biggest reason they have won games, they been winning games while scoring under 20 points and his kicker saving him.

[LakesBison]

are the sam houston fans going to be as cocky as longhorn fans? I sure hope not.

FYI..this means that 85 is a member of that cult known as A&M

Yeah, I'm a cult member or at least a lot of my money is (with one kid already graduated and another who is a freshman there!)!

But the outcome of the game will be different.

[caribbeanhen]

Sammy gave me every opportunity to jump on the wagon like 90 percent of the Sammy fans on here have done, but I have refused.

here's a gone fishin prediction for you: Flanders will look more like Flounders tomorrow as the Bison whip the Kitties

NDST - 35
USHS - 21

That is the kiss of death for the Bison.

That is the kiss of death for the Bison.

We'll have to see who's kiss-o-death is stronger, as Cap'n Cat has picked SHSU on cs.com.

[caribbeanhen]

That is the kiss of death for the Bison.

knew you would appreciate "my help" bkb - if you guys win, you get an invite to the CAA next year

[Bronco]

The game is finally here.
Wake up in the morning..take my pre-game sauna and settle in for a late morning start.
Love the 11AM start time xsalutex

All those that are picking against NDSU in a big game are making the same mistake I've made many times over the years. xnonox
No more

NDSU 28
Sam 24

My first post on here. I have been a avid Sam Houston fan since I attended in '04. All I know is this has been a lot of fun and a great ride. Whoever wins this game great for them, but I hope its the Kats Good luck to both teams and I hope to meet some of you Bisons tomorrow at the game.

Yup it should be a great game and I hope it is but only way I can enjoy that is if the Bison come up with the win. Wish I could be down there for the game but I'll be plenty happy watching it on tv. Good luck to both. Go Bison

[Bison56]

Is it me or is time slowing down the closer it gets to kick off. I cant find enough things to do to pass the time.

[deez_na]

Yeah I hear ya, this day has been going so slow. It's driving me nuts. Tomorrow is gonna be a fun day, can't wait for game time. Should be a very good game.

[darell1976]

So if the Bison win.....do they have what it takes to repeat? Ex. lots of starters coming back, and no chance of Bohl leaving for the FBS.

I don't think the defense will miss a beat next year as they lose 2 linebackers and a good dEnd and a free safety, but they all have pretty good replacements except for the question mark at free safety.

The offense will miss their best WR and three great lineman. These are the things that will be difficult to replace right away. The Bison always seem to have good lineman so it might be fine, but we will see how the two receivers that were suppose to be so good this year make it back from injury as they basically haven't played since the minnesota game.

They seem to have McNorton's replacement with Ojuri. He's come on really strong in the playoffs.

[X-Factor]

Bison are pretty well set for the next two years. Most of the key players are sophomores now. 2013 will be the really strong year, not this potential championship season or next season.

Kansas State, Montana State and Western Carolina for OOC games. MSU should be a good one, KSU could be a good one they seem to have a roller coaster season this one was a good one for them (they went 10-2 this year, 2008 they went 5-7). WCU should be a blowout win.

[NDSUFREAK]

Not to mention MIKE SIGERS coming back next year!! Sigers might be better than DJ and Ojuri...scary I know.

[Sambow]

I love these last few posts. What if the Kats win?! Don't think all you have to do is show up and pick up a trophy. There is still a game. Not to mention that our team loses less than your team does (as far as upper classmen). GO KATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well then discuss that question with SHSU fans...it wasn't even a BISON fan that brought that question up about next year's team...get over it.

[Sambow]

Get over it? I have read yalls mess for three weeks and been very polite about it. SAM WILL WIN THIS GAME and then you will have to eat crow and "get over it"!!!!

[Sambow]

I started a thread about this very topic. Feel free to drop a line. Will you be at the game? As my thread says, I will be there at 9 am. feel free to stop by for a bloody mary. GO KATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[344Johnson]

Not to mention MIKE SIGERS coming back next year!! Sigers might be better than DJ and Ojuri...scary I know.

No. Sigers was not as good as DJ or Sam. He is/was too small. He was an awesome special teams player and a great change of pace back, but not worthy of saying he is better than DJ or Sam. I have heard he could be back but there hasn't been anything official last time I checked?

[Houndawg]

Good solid backs that run where the blocking takes them and can block and catch, but nothing exceptional. Paschall was better.

[T-Dog]

I'll take SHSU's home state advantage and speed. 32-24.

[T-Dog]

But to both fanbases, enjoy the hell out of today. There's no gurantees after today. It might be once in a lifetime. Walking into the stadium in 2005 was my realization. That year, it was ASU and UNI's first title game after many playoff failures and it was magical. Even though I also was there in 2006 and 2007, that first one is that extra bit special.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Somebody should ask the Marriott if there were enough Bison fans here last night. Total takeover.

[DJKyR0]

I'll take SHSU's home state advantage and speed. 32-24.

There will be no home field advantage for SHSU. Plano was Bison territory last night and tailgate is going to be a complete gong show. This town won't know what hit it after today.

[Gil Dobie]

It's a great day for football. I might just have to listen to the game on the radio on the way to the airport, instead of waiting to watch the recording.
Can't Wait!

Here's to a great game.............

http://www.toastmasters.org/OtherImages/ClappToastingPic.aspx

[stevdock]

My 2 year old daughter woke me up yelling "it's bison day, it's bison day." Good luck to both teams and definitely enjoy it.

[Gil Dobie]

Watching the NDSU vs Minnesota game while listening to the pregame on the radio!

Let's get this party started.

KFGO Link (http://www.kfgo.com/listen-live.php)

[GoBlueHens83]

Good luck to both teams today! I really hope all the fans that made the trip have a great time today. xrotatehx

[Gil Dobie]

Sounds like NDSU is well represented at the tailgate!

[Mr. C]

Can game time get here soon enough? I am tired of waiting for the clock to strike 1 p.m. Eastern.

[Mr. C]

So they are not calling it Pizza Hut Park anymore? That is why I hate the every-changing corporate stadium names.

[RabidRabbit]

Nice crowds along both teams walk from the buses. Good luck to both teams. May it be an exciting, tight game!!!

[Mr. C]

I see that we didn't exactly get the "A" team from ESPN2 in terms of announcers.

[Mr. C]

Good coverage for NDSU on the opening kickoff.

[Mr. C]

Richard Sincere get 36 yards on a play-action pass on first down for SHSU.

[Mr. C]

Nice throw by Bell on the pass to Sincere, launching it over a pair of defenders.

[Mr. C]

Nothing on the option pitch. Marcus Williams with a big stop.

[RabidRabbit]

That first pass barely cleared!

[RabidRabbit]

3rd and 19. Bison D off to decent start.

[Mr. C]

Third and 19 coming up for SHSU, which was hurt by an illegal formation penalty on first down.

[paward]

OH Oh did they say CAA officials, we in for a long day!

[Mr. C]

Bell is smothered and SHSU must punt.

[Mr. C]

OH Oh did they say CAA officials, we in for a long day!

It could be worse, it could be those MEAC officials from the 2007 title game, or Big Sky officials.

[Mr. C]

Quick first down for the Bison.

[Mr. C]

Good job of getting Jensen a quick completion.

[Mr. C]

Personal foul on NDSU TE Matt Velman for spearing. Dumb play.

[RabidRabbit]

bad move by NDSU O getting that personal foul.

[UMass922]

Crowd looks great!

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Don't forget, live scores and live audio of the game on your phone if you're on the road!

http://college-sports-source.appspot.com/ScoresMenu.html

[Mr. C]

Nice job of staying in the pocket for Jensen, but the pass is incomplete. Punting time.

[UMass922]

Nice kick.

[Mr. C]

Nice 66-yard punt for the Bison to pin SHSU in.

[Cleets]

I'm going to just replay that punt a few times here..!!! (Holy schnieky)

[Mr. C]

First down for the Bearkats at their own 14 after the Matt Voightlander punt. Is he another Mike Dragosovich?

[RabidRabbit]

68 yd punt. SHSU pinned inside own 20. Considering that punter kicked from 5yd line amazing.

[Mr. C]

I wonder if the NCAA Web Police are counting my blog posts today?

[Mr. C]

Sincere is stopped from the Wildcat on third and two. Nice defense so far by Chad Wilson and the Bisons.

[Mr. C]

Good 12-yard return of a nice punt of 52 yards, but one of those stupid block in the back penalties. I would love to see XFL rules on kick returns.

[Cleets]

Penalties hurting Bison so far...

[Mr. C]

Penalties hurting Bison so far...

Probably due to championship-game nerves.

[Mr. C]

Nice catch for 14 yards by Ryan Smith. Good throw by Jensen.

[Mr. C]

Reverse sweep for Ryan Smith goes for another first down.

[Mr. C]

Taj Johnson knocked away a pass at the last moment after getting beaten deep.

[Mr. C]

First big mistake on an Ojuri fumble at the NDSU 40.

[Mr. C]

Sincere tries to throw under pressure. Third and short for SHSU near the 30.

[Mr. C]

Don't know if Flanders got the first down.

[Mr. C]

Flanders is hurt.

[Mr. C]

Looks like an ankle injury.

[Houndawg]

Taj Johnson knocked away a pass at the last moment after getting beaten deep.

underthrown?

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Use two screens: Mr. C.'s champ game commentary here, and @CollegeSportsJ for my commentary on Twitter! xthumbsupx

[Mr. C]

Out come the chains and SHSU is inches short. Fourth down.

[Mr. C]

underthrown?

Maybe slightly.

[Cleets]

STUFFED...!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. C]

Bell is stuffed on a sneak and it is NDSU's ball. Huge stop. Preston Evans.

[Mr. C]

STUFFED...!!!!!!!!!!!
Where was the Bart Starr play-action fake?

[Mr. C]

Holloway for 12 yards on the slant his 76th catch of the season

[Mr. C]

Third and six for NDSU at the 22.

[Mr. C]

Jensen felt the pressure coming off the blitz on the edge and he completes it for a first down to Smith.

[Mr. C]

McNorton smashes to the two. Second and goal.

[Mr. C]

McNorton to the one. Third and goal.

[WileECoyote06]

Is that the NDSU band playing?

[Mr. C]

Ojuri is hit at the three and stopped at the one. Will Henry on the play.

[paward]

Someone say defensive battle

[Mr. C]

Jastrum on for the 19-yard field goal and it barely sneaks through on the right hash. 3-0 NDSU with three seconds left in the first period.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I would have play-action faked on 3rd down. I wonder if that will come back to haunt the Bison.

[Mr. C]

Someone say defensive battle

I hated the unoriginal third-down call. Why not bootleg with Jensen on third down and give him a run-pass option?

[Drblankstare]

Good stand for the Kats. Bison only get 3. On to the 2nd quarter.

[Mr. C]

I would have play-action faked on 3rd down. I wonder if that will come back to haunt the Bison.

And I would have gone for it on fourth down.

[RabidRabbit]

NDSU draws first blood with field goal on 4th and goal. NDSU 3, SHSU 0 about to start 2nd qtr.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Someone say defensive battle

FCS teams aren't used to a layoff like this. I think the offenses will open up a bit in the second half.

[HailSzczur]

The BCS title game commercial really annoys me

[Mr. C]

The BCS title game commercial really annoys me

During a TRUE championship game, let's show a commercial for the faux championship. I am still trying to figure out how Alabama got to the BCS crap title game.

[GSU Eagle]

I think both teams have good defenses. The winner of this game could have something like 14 or 17 points.

[Mr. C]

Marcus Williams drops an interception on a terrible play-action pass by Bell to Sincere.

[Mr. C]

Flanders is back and goes for a short gain.

[Mr. C]

Third and five upcoming.

[Mr. C]

Sincere gets the first down on the Wildcat run.

[HailSzczur]

During a TRUE championship game, let's show a commercial for the faux championship. I am still trying to figure out how Alabama got to the BCS crap title game.

I was out in in Arizona for the Insight bowl and they had a coaches dinner for the Fiesta Bowl at our hotel. Wanted to sneak in wearing my FCS Champions shirt and explain to them how you really decide a champion. As the next 2 out of the "championship game" both coaches would be happy to listen I'm sure

[Mr. C]

Bell is sacked for a six-yard loss buy Cole Jirik.

[Bronco]

What a great time they're having
I'm very jealous

Great atmosphere

[Mr. C]

Bell is a terrible 1-of-5 after another misfire.

[Mr. C]

Nowhere to go for Flanders on a shovel pass. Fourth down again. Tough D for the Bison.

[paward]

Again I say are these two defenses that good or is play calling lack luster?

[Mr. C]

NDSU has been great on pursuit thus far. It is going to be tough all day long for the SHSU offense.

[Mr. C]

Again I say are these two defenses that good or is play calling lack luster?

NDSU has a great defense, as it has shown all year.
