Not cheering for your conference mate :eek: ;)

I will be rooting for the Kats to put an early scare into the steers :)

[TexasTerror]

Not cheering for your conference mate :eek: ;)

I'm more interested in finding out what kind of SFA we get coming into conference, win or lose. I do not think SFA is going to beat the Bison and yes, I would typically root for an SLC foe against an OOC foe. The problem is, we've been beaten up so badly OOC, all the SLC has, that I don't think any wins really are going to make that much of a difference unfortunately...

Atleast we're now into SLC play next week with a few OOC games sprinkled amongst the SLC schools...

NDSU announcers said it was debatable but thought they made the right call

Congrats on the win, Bisons...

Wish SHSU would get a home-and-home with NDSU...

We'll see what SFA brings in SLC play. If we go off of OOC play, I won't expect much...

I would guess SFA is the best winless team in I-AA :nod:

[RabidRabbit]

Congrats Bison!!!! :bow:

[SFA 71]

I would guess SFA is the best winless team in I-AA :nod:
I hope you're right!? Congratulations on your sportsmanlike support of your team.:nod:

[BisonBacker]

I too would have to agree that SFA has to be the best 0-5 team in the country. Our announcers kept saying that they don't see how this team is 0-4. I have to believe that good things are coming for SFA. Good luck in the rest of your schedule.
