Dakota Marker Anyone? SDSU@NDSU for the MVFC

[NoDak 4 Ever]

So, this game just got really ****ing interesting.

Ok SDSU, all you have to do to win the MVFC is come into the Fargodome and beat the #1 team in the country.

Sounds easy, doesn't it?

After watching you struggle with SIU at home and MSU on the road, yes, it looks much easier than it ever has before!!! LET'S GO RABBITS!!!!


Can't wait to silence all the non-believers that picked us to finish 6th or 7th in the MVFC. Bring on the Bison!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

You can take that #1 and stuff it at this point. We didn't play like a #20 team today. Our defense can only carry us so far. Offensively this team hasn't put a game together since YSU. Playing like they did today we won't win at home against SDSU I guarantee you that.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Speaking of struggling. Did you watch your game today?

Yes, and i watched yours do the same! A win is a win. Good teams win ugly. You just did it against this same SIU team last week, except at home. Remember you had to come from behind in the 4th quarter, just like we did? Well, we did it in their house!

[Southern Bison]

NoDak,

We'll still have an Ill State team that beat Ind State today and has a 2 week rest before we show up. We'll be in the driver's seat after next week but we can't let off the gas.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

If Vraa is healthy and 100%, it will definitely help the passing game.

Brock just needs to make better decisions. The RB out of the backfield was open all day. I'm sure the coaches will point this out for him. Just don't force the ball.

[BisonBabe]

I hope the NDSU coaching staff and players are overlooking us like you are... xlolx

While the fans may look past SDSU you can bet the coaches & team won't. Will be a hell of a game next week.

[frozennorth]

so ndsu, sdsu, and isu-r are in the playoffs, and isu-b needs to beat YSU after a bye?


also, NDSU by 5, brock tosses 3 picks

[Southern Bison]

I hope the NDSU coaching staff and players are overlooking us like you are... xlolx

The NDSU coaches and players are focusing on going wabbit hunting for the next 7 days. I'm simply reminding NoDak that Illinois State still has a mathematical chance at co-champions of the MVFC.

[mmiller_34]

so ndsu, sdsu, and isu-r are in the playoffs..

SDSU isn't in the playoffs yet. We still need one more win, and with two rivalry games upcoming that isn't guaranteed.

[BisonBacker]

Great point. USD proved today that they haven't cashed it in just yet, and we all know that winning in Fargo is very difficult to do. Although 0-2 is unlikely (primarily because we have USD at home, and we are a far superior team), it is still a real possibility.

[mmiller_34]

I know its unlikely, but I have been an SDSU fan long enough to know how easily we choke. Just sayin'

Nothing personal but any Bison fan that would sell you his tickets should have his ManCard revoked, His balls tarred and feathered and be forced to watch reruns of Julia Child preparing Hossenfeffer.

They are on par with Kansas.

Hey, we still beat them.

Last time I looked they still give out 85 schollies.

[2002jack]

No doubt that was a good victory (FBS). It was a counterpoint to Lakes. We have basically played the same MVFC schedule as NDSU, and we have the same record. Different road/home wins, but the same. I would consider you a favorite next week, but don't disrespect our wins.

It appears to most NDSU posters on here, that teams are good until they lose to SDSU, unless they play NDSU tough, then all of a sudden, they need to be respected.

All is right in the world. The game is more fun, when it means this much. It appears the MVFC title is on the line. I won't be putting any money on SDSU next weekend, but damn it is nice to believe.

[LeeshaJo]

Hey I believe... :) final will be within a field goal... which team is on top, I Haven't got the foggiest.

[LakesBison]

Aww you guys can't handle a RIVALRY???

If you listen to Lakes long enough, you sure hear a lot of "last year", "last year", "last year"... That's all the guy has.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

UMM...it was 38 to 14 last year, but either way you dominated. We also lost to ISU-blue last year. So I am not sure that is relevant. Can I have one ticket and sit next to you?

[LakesBison]

Move this to smack so i can flush some bunny turds.

You guys aren't even close to NDSU's level.

Nah i got 2 sexy bitches sitting there. Try craigslist $100/ticket like a typical NDSU sold out game

Ever had one of those ?

probably wouldn't take much more than a post... doubt it would just be friends participating ;) anyhow... this week just became more fun!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Neg rep for what?

I have in the past smacked him down when he needed it but honestly, he is the only one who has ever neg repped me. I have something like 2500 rep points. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but it kind of pisses me off.

[LakesBison]

He called me an asshole does that not warrant that ?

I wrote on the neg rep line " dude we will kill sdsu "

Wha wha i can defend myself on herr am i allowed to do that ? I don't call him an asshole . That's just rude


Whining over neg rep and calling me a swear name, wow grow up its a message board

[NoDak 4 Ever]

probably wouldn't take much more than a post... doubt it would just be friends participating ;) anyhow... this week just became more fun!

Agreed, we can have a lot of back and forth on this thread without Lakes vomiting all over it and making it all smack talk.

It's not even original smack talk, it's probably less than 40 unique words he uses in his posts anyway.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

You said, "move this to smack". The only person really making this thread ugly is you. You therefore are being an asshole.

Stop being an asshole.

Better yet, come back cleverly don't be all sneaky.

See? Was that so hard?

I have earned enough goodwill with Ursus that he PM's me when I need to slow down and guess what? I slow down. pretty easy.

[LeeshaJo]

So just curious, as this week progresses, should the Jacks fans and Bison fans apologize about the sheer number of posts both relevant and inane that will be posted about this game in the next seven days?

Props on posting the neg rep! But on the other hand "I can get together some friends and put you back in the red???" That sounds like something a 12 year old girl would say to a classmate that called her ugly. No offense, but let's leave the pre teen girl behavior to the trolls. xcoffeex

Nope, Lakes has mostly behaved himself and is quite proud of his rep score. Nobody who is worth anything neg reps without seriously good reason. I was merely stating that I could probably do enough to remove his ability to hand out colored chiclets anymore, power of the people.

You'd think so wouldn't ya?xlolx

I hadn't even seen this derailment before I sent him a pm telling him he better cut the **** but once I did I knew it was time for another timeout.

One of these days he's gonna learn that it is a bad idea for him to post after he's been takin' a tug off of a couple of frothy's.

[MTfan4life]

I was merely stating that I could probably do enough to remove his ability to hand out colored chiclets anymore, power of the people.

Lol, this was exactly my point. Doing enough to remove someone's reputation or power of the people as you put it, is something that's common place at your everyday middle school.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Lol, this was exactly my point. Doing enough to remove someone's reputation or power of the people as you put it, is something that's common place at your everyday middle school.

I think it more as "self policing".

ok enough. Let's get back to the game.

I know its unlikely, but I have been an SDSU fan long enough to know how easily we choke. Just sayin'

You guys would have to throw 3 pick sixes to lose to the coyotes.....they are not good.

[frozennorth]

winner gets seeded

[WestSideRabbit]

I joined AGS just so I could talk about this game. So pumped!

Looks like both offenses struggled today. I know listening to the Jacks game was incredibly frustrating. SIU and that 3-4 defense have given us fits 3 out of the 5 times we have played SIU.

Bison fans, when we played Missouri State their defense seemed like they would keep the team in quite a few games if the offense didn't screw it up. Is that what happened today or did Jensen really struggle?

Welcome to the board. It is going to be a fun week.

A little history - via Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Marker

[Bisonator]

Jensen needs to do some homework this week. There are more Bison receivers then Smith. Try getting the ball to the right team. As does Vigen with his stupid play calling at times. Absolutely no reason to attempt 3 passes when you just had a big run to set up first and goal. And try to get the play and personel in with more then a few seconds to spare when it's a critical 3rd and 1 in the fourth quarter. My god I thought I was going to explode!

Barring a repeat performance, 3 gifts from Brock to SDSU, I am confident the defense can keep us in this weeks game. 17-13 GO BISON!!!

[Jacked_Rabbit]

It's been 2 years too long since we've hoisted this rock... Can't wait for next Saturday!

Thank you.

So, this game just got really ****ing interesting.

Ok SDSU, all you have to do to win the MVFC is come into the Fargodome and beat the #1 team in the country.

Sounds easy, doesn't it?


BTW, this wouldn't be the first time SDSU has upset #1 NDsU for a conference title

However that was in Brookings...

Are ISU Blue and ISU Red out of the running for the MVFC title?

[Thumper 76]

Not to derail all of this wonderfully intelligent discussion we are having, but serious question for the old fogeys out there. Is this the biggest Marker game ever (by marker game I mean all NDSU/SDSU matchups) With the MVFC Championship and autobid on the line, as well as it being the Marker game, the winner in my opinion ends up as a seed. I'm highly doubting that despite the long history of the NDSU/SDSU matchup there has been any one of them as HUGE as this one!

Anyways, to get back to some serious discussion, I hope the Thundering Turd is ready, cause they about to get JACKed UP!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Are ISU Blue and ISU Red out of the running for the MVFC title?

Yes and No. This week is a catch up week for both SDSU and NDSU. One team at the end will have 2 conference losses and one will be on top with 1 loss.

SDSU plays USD next week. ISUr and NDSU play each other.

If SDSU wins, then everybody will be tied with one loss throwing a **** ton of tie breakers into the mix.

If NDSU wins, they have to also beat ISUr for the AQ.

ISUb holds no tiebreaker that will give them the AQ at this point. they beat NDSU but got beaten by ISUr and SDSU.

Actually this is what the god damn conversation should be about anyway. :)

I would say that this is the biggest in the playoff era. I've been really down on this "rivalry" since the inception but I think this might breathe some life into it.

If SDSU wins, we will be the only 1 loss team in the MVFC. If we then go on to beat usd as well, we win the AQ. There are no tie breakers needed for the AQ if SDSU beats ndsu.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

If SDSU wins, we will be the only 1 loss team in the MVFC. If we then go on to beat usd as well, we win the AQ. There are no tie breakers needed for the AQ if SDSU beats ndsu.


That last game with USD will be their 'Superbowl' this year. Jacks could have a letdown esp if they win in Fargo this week.

[NDSUstudent]

If SDSU wins, we will be the only 1 loss team in the MVFC. If we then go on to beat usd as well, we win the AQ. There are no tie breakers needed for the AQ if SDSU beats ndsu.

Correct. If SDSU wins I can't see them losing to Sucks to be U... SD and that would give them the AQ.

North Dakota State 5-1
South Dakota State 5-1
Illinois State 5-2
Indiana State 5-2
Southern Illinois 4-3
Missouri State 3-4
Youngstown State 2-4
Northern Iowa 2-4
Western Illinois 1-5
South Dakota 0-6

I agree. Wasn't looking ahead to usd, just pointing out that if SDSU beats the Bison, they will be the only 1 loss team, contrary to what NoDak 4 Ever stated.

[Laker]

The answer should be yes, this is the biggest game since they started having the trophy. I think that a MVFC title would be more highly rated than a Great West one. Here is some history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Marker

[Thundar]

NDSU has looked surprisingly vulnerable this year, especially at home. I would not be surprised to see SDSU win this one. Go Jacks!


Yep, but we played 3 very high emotion games early on, that this team focused on, there has been 2 let down games, this is the start of the new season bison come reay for this one, 34-14 NDSU

[Houndawg]

No doubt that was a good victory (FBS). It was a counterpoint to Lakes. We have basically played the same MVFC schedule as NDSU, and we have the same record. Different road/home wins, but the same. I would consider you a favorite next week, but don't disrespect our wins.

Nah, if they play NDSU tough its because of the refs.

My one month old girl is really crying this morning...for some reason it was the first thing that came to mind when I read this post.

It is this way for some Bison fans and even worse when we beat them. xlolx

[Hammersmith]

Are ISU Blue and ISU Red out of the running for the MVFC title?
ISUr gets the autobid if they beat NDSU in two weeks and one of the following happens:

1. NDSU beats SDSU next weekend
2. SDSU beats NDSU but loses to USD the following weekend

Other than those two scenarios, I believe the autobid will go to the winner of the Marker game.

[sgt smash]

Nah, if they play NDSU tough its because of the refs.

I was lurking on Tigerdroppings.com during the Bama game last night. Everyone complains about the refs during emotional games. No game is ever called perfectly and we as fans reserve the right to piss and moan about reffing.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Nah, if they play NDSU tough its because of the refs.

You're right. The absolute consensus was that the game was superbly officiated.

[bisonnation]

This is always a great game. Throw in trophy , playoffs, and conference championship implications ... this becomes huge!

Bison fans be sure to wear the correct color to the game.

[Professor Chaos]

If NDSU doesn't turn the ball over the Bison should win this game by more than a touchdown. That's a huge if with the way #16 has been playing recently however. For the first time since homecoming the game will truly be sold out (since the student section will actually be full again). I know Sumner was rattled by the Bison D last year and this year's version is even better and he'll have a significantly more hostile environment to deal with. Zenner will have to be huge for the Jacks to win.

Key for the Bison is don't turn it over offensively, key for the Jacks is to get Zenner rolling early and often.

[Grizalltheway]

Anyone know where to find a gratis stream for this one? Should be a good way to tide me over during our bye week. xnodxxnodx

ISUr gets the autobid if they beat NDSU in two weeks and one of the following happens:

1. NDSU beats SDSU next weekend
2. SDSU beats NDSU but loses to USD the following weekend

Other than those two scenarios, I believe the autobid will go to the winner of the Marker game.

Scratch all that. I based that on work I did before this weekend's games and I either was wrong about one of those games or thoroughly messed up my math.
Here's the correct info:

4-way tie(6-2) between NDSU, SDSU, ISUr & ISUb: goes to GPI tiebreaker - probably NDSU but not certain; depends on polls and computers
3-way tie(6-2) between NDSU, SDSU & ISUb: SDSU
3-way tie(6-2) between SDSU, ISUr & ISUb: ISUb

I don't think there are any other scenarios that end in a tie.

[Twentysix]

Anyone know where to find a gratis stream for this one? Should be a good way to tide me over during our bye week. xnodxxnodx

Statewide NBC in north dakota, so probably on firstrow.

[darell1976]

Good luck to both teams. Big game for both besides bragging rights, there are playoff seeding at stake. Has anyone noticed NDSU is the only Dakota team not to feature letters on their helmets, a way to standout from the rest. Again good luck Bison-Jacks.

So based on this if NDSU beats SDSU they lock up the autobid as long as SDSU beats USD?

I don't think there are any other scenarios that end in a tie.

I think there's also a possibility of a 2-way tie at 6-2 between SDSU and ISUr that can't be broken by head to head, which goes to SDSU based on the SIU common game.

That situation with ISUb winning the autobid is really crazy, and probably the only way the MVFC gets 4 into the playoffs.

And I just realized there's a scenario where NDSU and ISUr could end up tied at 6-2 with SDSU & ISUb tied at 5-3. The autobid would go to ISUr in this case.

When you have the best team moniker in the Dakotas you don't have to use letters on your helmet. xnodx

[Gil Dobie]

It is this way for some Bison fans and even worse when we beat them. xlolx

This year it would be about the Bison offense, which is giving up more points than the defense lately.
It's a nice trophy, but this one is better.

Yes, it is kind of a mess - ISU-r and SDSU not playing each other this year has made it very interesting. They could tie for first in conference.

The three best representations of what the Dakota's are about. Bison and agricultural folks. :)

[LehighU11]

This is definitely the game of the week in FCS next weekend. Neighboring state rivals fighting it out for the MVFC title, should be awesome. I hope it's on ESPN3 like the two other games in the conference next weekend. The Dakotas are far too often forgotten over here on the east coast...it would be great to see another meaningful game when I get back from the PL title game between Lehigh and Colgate. The Fargodome is one of toughest FCS stadiums to play in from what I saw when Lehigh went out there last year. I'm hoping that the Jacks can make this a good one like ISU-b and S Illinois have done recently on the road against the Bison.

[Thumper 76]

Nah, if they play NDSU tough its because of the refs.

Honest to God as soon as we won my first thought was, man, Houndawg is gunna be whining like crazy about this one. Not because I knew it was good or bad officiating mind you, your just one of those guys who tends to think its impossible for SDSU to straight up beat you in a close game.

[JackJD]

SIU and that 3-4 defense have given us fits 3 out of the 5 times we have played SIU....

Series record: SDSU 3, SIU 2.

I have really no idea about this rivalry, but it sounds like this game is very very similar to the Georgia Southern/App State game from this past weekend.

[Bisonwinagn]

I have really no idea about this rivalry, but it sounds like this game is very very similar to the Georgia Southern/App State game from this past weekend.

I would consider this a friendly rivalry as we moved up to D1 together and most fans root for the other team when we aren't playing each other. The hated rival is clearly UND, but since we haven't played them since our transition to D1 we like to take out our frustrations on UNI.

[I-16Bandit]

I would consider this a friendly rivalry

Ah, see there is the difference. :D

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Ah, see there is the difference. :D

I would still contend that this was a manufactured rivalry from the DI move. NDSU and SDSU have been playing for 100 years and there wasn't a trophy until 2004. USD and UND are their more traditional rivals and that's where all the nastiness comes in.

[DJKyR0]

I don't have a problem with SDSU being successful as long as they stay out of NDSU's way. I want UND to lose every game they play in every sport and in embarrassing fashion. The reasons are multiple, but mostly dealing with the fact that SDSU has more or less stuck with us and moved up to D-I with us when everybody else was laughing. Then USD and UND get all starry-eyed when they see us doing halfways decent and decide that riding our coattails is the way to build a program. It's petulant, annoying, and just makes you shake your head. SDSU, on the other hand, actually had some success near the start of the eligibility era and is doing the same now. Good for them.

Hope we win by 50 on Saturday.

Keep it to hoping. :D (just giving you crap)

[jacksfan29]

NoDak 4 is correct, though I think the "manufactured" rivalry has actually worked. Take a look at the crowds in FB and BB over the past several years. We don't like each other during the game, but become friendly before and after. The hatred definitely comes into play when USD/SDSU or UND/NDSU get together.

[ITmonarch10]

So, this game just got really ****ing interesting.

Ok SDSU, all you have to do to win the MVFC is come into the Fargodome and beat the #1 team in the country.

Sounds easy, doesn't it?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

This should be a very good game.

Sumner is going to have to be on his game for the Jacks to win. The Bison defense has been playing great all year and they should continue that on saturday.

If Jensen makes good decisions and does not force the ball and takes what the Jacks give him in the passing game then I see a Bison win. If the Bison have multiple TOs then this game will be close or a Bison loss.

The Jacks defense is good so the Bison need to run/pass.

It will be a fun one to watch.

By saying South Dakota is warmer than North Dakota would be implying South Dakota is warm. Both are cold as heck in the winter! The 5 degrees is hardly noticeable. :rofl:

[Jacked_Rabbit]

I've noticed that most people from the South (SEC country, basically) simply refer to either South or North Dakota as simply "Dakota". They don't even bother differentiating between the two...

You can introduce yourself as being from South Dakota, and they'll turn right around to their buddy 2 minutes later and say "Hey, this guy is from Dakota". Not sure if its just a Southern thing, or if we are so irrelevant to the rest of the Nation that they don't even realize that there are actually two seperate states up there. haha!

About 20 years ago I went on a college choir trip to NYC and it was eye opening how much people thought the Dakotas were still in the wild west with no electricity, covered wagons etc... at the same time one of my good friends was serving overseas during Desert Storm and his buddies were giving him grief about the same thing, so a bunch of us from the dorm, ratted our hair out (and believe me at that time we could RAT our Hair) and took pictures of the group of us holding an extension cord saying what is this electricity that arrived today...

All I can say is we are flyover states that many people will never visit and see how amazing the variety is here.

[Laker]

A lot of people don't even know that we have 50 states. And even the NCAA doesn't know the difference between UND and NDSU by sending the football banner to the wrong place. They seem to know the difference between North and South Carolina though.

[Southern Bison]

Has anyone noticed NDSU is the only Dakota team not to feature letters on their helmets, a way to standout from the rest.

The reason that UND sticks with the state letters is that "Fighting Whioux" won't fit on the helmet. Would you rather us put all 9 national championship trophies on the helmet?

[moosbah]

This should be a great game, no doubt. Jacks, enjoy the tailgating and have fun. Recommend buying earplugs.

That pass on 4th down in that final drive at about the 3 minute mark. Talk about living right. That was one ugly pass and would more aptly be described as a hope and a prayer. Congrats on the win anyway but if you have to rely on a hope and a prayer like that pass well...will just leave it at that. Still a huge drive to win a game.

I wouldn't count on seeing any... He had to throw that ball about 45 yards (completely across the field and downfield 22 yards) in to a steady 25-30 mph wind in order to get it there. And he did it all off his back foot, under pressure, 4th down, no time left on the clcok, up hill both ways, in the snow, etc, etc...

Sumner has a strong arm. I just hope he throws it to the dudes in the white jerseys come Saturday! We literally can't afford to turn the ball over a single time.

You think, or you hope?! I'm sure you know the situation far better than myself, but I'd think it would be hard to turn down a great offer from a solid non-BCS program.

[Twentysix]

You think, or you hope?! I'm sure you know the situation far better than myself, but I'd think it would be hard to turn down a great offer from a solid non-BCS program.

Think, his familial commitments would trump a non-BCS job, especially further from fargo and nebraska. There may be a few non-BCS jobs that would be plausible, I don't think the Fresno States of the world are going to sway him.

Put it this way, If he were made the HC at Florida State, he would still be in Nebraska and North Dakota every single year.

I realize they just had a turnover in staff last year, so it wouldn't be realistic right now, but what about a school like Colorado State? Hell, their Administration just got to what he can do first hand this year... Another potential fit that comes to mind would be Northern Illinois.

With the way things are going under the new staff in Boulder, a BCS option may be opening up at Colorado within the next couple of years...

Plausible but I doubt it. P.S. N Ill wouldn't even double bohls financial incentives, I sincerly doubt he would take the risk with any of these proposed jobs. NDSU is more lucrative than CMU and Kent St. I lol'd.

Bohl would probably take HC at Minnesota/Nebraska/Iowa etc. But I am not so sure they would come calling for an FCS coach and I do not think he would take the stepping stone job that would eventually lead to those types of HC positions.

[Bisonator]

I agree that Bohl will not be leaving unless it is with a good BCS school. His wife is from Fargo, his son is going to MSUM in Moorhead, his folks live in Nebraska. He makes very good money here, he likes the lake country in MN. This is a good recruiting area for the type football team we are, big physical smash mouth type farm kids who have a chip on their shoulders for getting looked over. My guess would be unless like Twentysix said, MN, Iowa, NE come calling he will probably retire as the HC at NDSU. GO BISON!!!

Colorado State and Northern Illlinois just aren't attractive enough to pull him away. Now that Buffalo job might be, although they're the b!tch of the Pac 12, after what has to be one of the WORST decisions to jump conference in history.

Hey Darrel, don't you have some insignificant Big Sky game to worry about?

Nope...bye week. So I thought I would visit this thread. Should be a good game...SDSU 17 NDSU 14.

I see Jensen throwing a pick 6. SDSU plays tough against NDSU even in the Fargodome. NDSU isn't unbeatable they can lose (like 17-14 to ISUb, and to YSU last year). NDSU struggled against MSU, and SIU two teams at or below .500, SDSU if you didn't notice is second in your conference and they won at ISUb. So thats why I came up with 17-14 SDSU.

So he throws two pick six passes in the ISUb game against the 2nd best defense in the country and he's naturally going to just do it every game I suppose.

Yes and Sumner could twist an ankle getting off the bus or Zenner could miss the trip entirely. Yes, anything could happen

He's making plenty of money for Fargo, has a job he will never lose and married a local girl with a kid. I'm thinking this is more of a Jerry Moore type guy.

Yup. flat tire, meteor hits the Fargodome, 8ft of snow falls making it impossible to get to the game. All kinds of things could happen.

SDSU didn't have much trouble with the 2nd best defense in the country - in their house, for that matter. And don't forget, this Jackrabbit D is ranked #9. We may not be as good as the vaunted Bison D, but it's not like we're a bunch of sloutches either.

The only program I'm really concerned about bohl going to in the near future is Iowa. The rest of the jobs in the big10 look to be filled for the next 2 years, or be undesirable.

Hold on there, ISUb has the 2nd best scoring defense in the country. Their pass defense is ranked 8.

Sumner did not throw any picks at ISUb, and SDSU scored 24 points (against the number 2 scoring D in the country).

Also, has Jensen thrown any pick sixes since the ISUb game? :)

3 picks last week. So...the answer would be yep.

If he comes out and is doing awful in the first half, I give SDSU about a 50% chance at winning. If he comes out and plays average-good, I give SDSU about a 10% shot. They got rolled by UNI, I don't think anyone can blame me for having some doubts about SDSU's ability to win if the Bison offense just doesn't give up any points on it's own.

If you want to throw comparable scores then you better put the UNI game in there. UNI pounded SDSU and NDSU handled UNI.....xcoffeex

[wow]

If NDSU can jump to a 10+ lead by half (or sooner) like UNI did, the Bison D won't have to worry about Zenner and the game will be over. UNI is the only team to lead SDSU by more than 4 points at half this season.

[Thumper 76]

If UNI is every Bison fans measuring stick on here, then there is literally no way to have an intelligent conversation about this game with you. However, I don't know why I had expected anything more than "SDSU has zero chance, ZERO, of winning, because we are the BISON and we are so amazing I mastrabate to our roster before I got to bed at night". Honestly, the arrogance the majority of Bison fans throw towards SDSU every marker week is mindblowing. You don't go almost the whole season through the MVFC with only one loss without being a good team. Is NDSU better? On paper, sure. But I'm pretty sure there is a reason they play the game. Now if I had to put my life on the game, sure I would pick NDSU, its at the dome, and the Jacks were not clicking in the last game at ALL, and there is the possibility of a let down after last weeks emotional win. However, to suggest that this game should not even be played is Bison arrogance and homerism at its finest.

Calm down there Chuck, you're gonna pop an O-ring in you don't loosen up that sphincter.

Also, to claim that one Bison's fan opinion that SDSU has zero chance to win this game somehow leads to the majority of Bison fans hurling arrogance at poor wittle SDSU is laughable. I resent that fact that so many fans (and athletes) love to take the most bragodocial opinion they can find and generalize it as the collective opinion of an entire group so they can play the "nobody believes in us" card. If you want to think that most Bison fans are of the opinion that SDSU has no chance to win and that this game shouldn't be played, go for it. But you don't win 22 or your last 24 including a national championship without being a good team so most Bison fans expect the home team to win. Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities.

[RabidRabbit]

Looking forward to Hanging out tailgating with the Bison fans, and learning about the FargoDome decibals. Two great defensive teams, with adequate offenses both ways. Likely that much of the scoring may be defensive.

See you NoDakers, and Jacks fans in Fargo.

There is no chance he goes to Iowa in the next two years. As bad as Iowa is right now, Kirk's contract goes through 2020, and would be approximately a 20 million dollar buyout. Not going to happen.

[AmsterBison]

When two teams have good defenses, the team with big play capability on offense might have an edge. In this case, that'd be SDSU.

That said, I'm hoping that NDSU's defense is closer to "great" than "good" on Saturday.

Looking forward to the 99th game in this 110-year-old rivalry. Hopefully the 100th meeting is late in the playoffs.

I've noticed that most people from the South (SEC country, basically) simply refer to either South or North Dakota as simply "Dakota". They don't even bother differentiating between the two...

You can introduce yourself as being from South Dakota, and they'll turn right around to their buddy 2 minutes later and say "Hey, this guy is from Dakota". Not sure if its just a Southern thing, or if we are so irrelevant to the rest of the Nation that they don't even realize that there are actually two seperate states up there. haha!

Its not just one guy, and its not that you expect to win. Thats fine, I would hope you expect to win. Its the endless Bison fans who come out and sneer at any post by a Jack fan about having a chance at winning like they are below the mighty Bison and are so far below them in fact that they have the same chance as a DII. Thats the vibe I get on just about 75-80% of the Bison fan posts. Thats whats aggravating. But, that is what makes deflating your dreams so much fun. Goddamn I hope we win, should be a great game.

If that's what you're getting from 75-80% of posts from Bison fans you're manufacturing something that isn't there. I'll give you that there are some of use who are overly confident to the point of arrogance. But for the most part we're confident that NDSU will win, nothing more. If we disagree with your assessment that SDSU will win we'll argue with you about it, that's what happens on message boards. For instance, I expect the Bison to win by more than 1 score but I'm fully accepting of the fact that if Jensen continues his turnover prone ways or if Zenner goes off SDSU could steal this one.

Yes message boards are fun for stating your opinion. But if anyone from any school says something negative of NDSU whether its backed up with fact or not, they get bombarded by (some not all) Bison fans who love to argue, name call, and slam you until you simply give up and go away. That is probably what Thumper is getting at.

Again, name calling and personal slams are something I don't see a lot of from Bison fans outside of the usual suspects (you know who I'm talking about). Slamming other teams is another matter. I don't always agee with tearing down the opponent to build your own team up but it is a method of argument. If there was another team that was defending national champs and #1 in the country right now I guarantee they'd have their share of blowhards on this board too. My contention is that many of you go out of your way to take those NDSU blowhards' opinion and generalize it as representing the majority of our fan base.

Later that night, when 1,500 fans gathered in front of the Fargodome to welcome home their team, Gov. Jack Dalrymple started the same cheer: “Here we go Bison, here we go.” Little did the governor realize the chant must mysteriously spark an impulse to be insulting.


As if on cue, Bison supporters started yelling an additional “Sioux suck” to the cheer.

Honestly, at games the cheer is Let's Go Bison not Here we go Bison. You were at the NDSU/ Youngstown State game, did you hear Sioux suck at that game? I didn't.

I wasn't at the game, my wife and son were.
