[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Weber goes for it on 4th and Bison stop it

You could see it coming from a mile away. Gotta throw the ball there. Mix it up

[Drblankstare]

Weber plays good D and forces a punt on NDSU 1st pos

[Bison56]

Wow these announcers are just in love with NDSU it's almost embarassing.

[Drblankstare]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Buy us dinner first boys:D

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Looks like Weber is going to have a hard time running the ball.

[Twentysix]

Did anyone find a live steam of this on the net? My antennae isn't picking up the game well at all..

[Drblankstare]

Weber D looking good against the run also

Nope. Wish I knew that it was on Altitude and not on Big Sky TV. Would have ordered it on Dish or gone to a bar. Probably going to a bar in 5 minutes.

Weber ties it on a great run. 7-7 1 min left in the 1st q

[Bison56]

Weber showed up to play. Good game so far.

[Drblankstare]

End of 1st tied 7-7. Good game so far

[BisonFan02]

Sloppy play by NDSU

[Bison56]

Does Weber always do that much pre snap movement?

[Drblankstare]

Weber st. Playing very solid on D. 2nd q Bison driving

[Drblankstare]

Bison drive, but Wentz is picked for the 2nd time. Weber ball 7 min left int the 2nd

[BisonFan02]

Yikes....gotta throw that one away.

[centennial]

Ginger Jesus acting like Brock.

[Drblankstare]

No doubt that's a throw you have to eat.

TD Bison D

[Drblankstare]

Litteljon scoops the fumble. Credit Emanuel for the strip

[Bison56]

Great play by the D.

[Drblankstare]

Bison D is really starting to bow its neck. Bison ball 14-7

[Bison56]

Beck showing how you blow up a block!

[Drblankstare]

The Weber D line has really impressed me so far. A lot of pressure on Wentz.

[Drblankstare]

14-7 Bison at half. Weber st D has played great. Bison ball to start the 2nd half.

[Bisonator]

Weber looking tough. Bison need to clean up the penalties and Carson needs to protect the ball better. Can't have those turnovers. Be smart here and just get the win.

[Drblankstare]

Weber is not ****ing around; very fast on D. Bison O really needs to mix it up

[Drblankstare]

Seems strange that ESPN is cheering for NDSU along with us.

[BisonFan02]

Probably because they don't have much of a contingency plan for a loss....haha

No joke. Switching plane tickets at this point is a real bitch

[Bisonator]

I'm a little surprised by Webers defense. Must be one of the few BSC teams with a D.

[centennial]

Probably the worst half of football from NDSU since Indiana State.

[Drblankstare]

Agreed Bison O has had very little room, so far. Weber Lbs have done an excellent job

[Drblankstare]

Probably the worst half of football from NDSU since Indiana State.
2 picks are tough. The 2nd one snuff out 7 points most likely.

[Drblankstare]

Bison start 2q with the ball.

[Hammersmith]

Seems strange that ESPN is cheering for NDSU along with us.

Where are you seeing that? Other ESPN broadcasts?

[Bisonator]

This game is ugly. Getting concerned.

[centennial]

Pathetic game so far. Either Weber state is better than advertised or we are playing ****ty.

[Drblankstare]

Where are you seeing that? Other ESPN broadcasts?
?? Gameday says the come to Fargo on sat, with a Bison Win. I'm guessing they have their plans set

[Bisonator]

Offense looks like ****. Just run the damn ball!

[centennial]

Haven't been this disappointed with a bison team for a long time. F.

[Bison56]

Enough with the passing. Pound the rock.

[Drblankstare]

Bison O does not look good.

[BisonFan02]

Kinda like 2011 where I'm more nervous when the O is on the field about the other team scoring.

[heath]

Bison O does not look good.
guys, give some score info on post.thx

[BisonFan02]

14-7 Bison lead....ugly.

[Bison56]

[Hammersmith]

Ok. I thought you meant they were saying stuff while the game's been going on. I've been watching twitter, but not any of the ESPN games.

[centennial]

14-7 Ndsu with ball at 35.

[SUPharmacist]

[Drblankstare]

Bison score 21-7. 4 min in the 3rd q

[SUPharmacist]

Hope they finish strong, I wonder if the gameday talk got into some players heads.

[Bisonator]

End of the third. 21-7 bison but weber has second and goal at the five.

[Drblankstare]

End of 3rd. 21-7 Bison. Weber driving deep into NDSU zone

[Bison56]

Need to switch up the d too many lb trying to cover wr.

[Drblankstare]

Weber fakes an FG. Bison D snuff it out.

[Drblankstare]

Actually a very nice fake design. Litteljon just made a brilliant tackle.

[Drblankstare]

11min left. Weber ball down 21-7

[Bison56]

Actually a very nice fake design. Litteljon just made a brilliant tackle.^ this
If that guy would have just got in the way it's a td.

[centennial]

D saving our ass today.

[Drblankstare]

I can't say it enough. The Weber D front 4 has been impressive

[Drblankstare]

7 min left. Bison ball driving.

[Bison56]

Weber is playing a great game. Bison need to clean up the penalties.

[Drblankstare]

I will not take anything away from weber, they have played great on D

[Bisonator]

Tough game. Weber played very well. Hats off to them. Bison have some work to do after this one.

[Bison56]

Weber showed up to play football. They look like they are on the right track. Good luck to them the rest of the season.

[Drblankstare]

Keller with an FG, Bison up 24-7. 3 min left

[Drblankstare]

Game summary for me is. Meh

[BisonFan02]

Thank god that's over.....

[MTfan4life]

A lot of people are going to look at this game and assume the Iowa State game might have just an outlier, but Weber State has played really well. It's almost been like watching a 1-16 seed NCAA tournament game, where the 1 seed makes some mistakes on offense and never is able to run away with it. This was a very different Weber team than what people have seen the last few seasons. Sure, it may be that they just fed off the hype to show up in this one, but if they keep it up, they could turn some heads in conference play. NDSU still looked tough. Amidst all the penalties and the couple turnovers, they still clearly had a far superior strength and ability advantage.

[Drblankstare]

Bison win 24-7. In a very uneven performance

[Bison56]

Need to clean up those penalties. Way to many again.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Took care of business on the road and now home cooking!

2-0

[Twentysix]

Weber is clearly improved from last season, that being said... I was disapointed tonight by the NDSU offense.

Yes, not the offense's best effort for sure but it was Weber's super bowl. Went on the road and won the game...I'll take it. 2-0.

Having a home game will be nice.

So getting their ass handed to them by ASU last week was a wild card game? I don't by that other teams super bowl crap. They had a good game plan, played well and made us look beatable. Teams have 12 games and good teams show up for all of them.

Their coaches had us sniffed out(and well planned) and it didn't seem like we made many adjustments on the offensive play calling. Probably doesn't help that Ginger Jesus played terrible.

Did you read the stories coming out of Weber (news articles)? This was a huge game for them.

Good for you.

[semobison]

Good for you.

Sure it was a big game, it was their home opener. They are all big games. You think they were looking past ASU and thinking about the Bison last week?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Never said any of that.

By reading their press throughout the week, they considered this a huge game...hence, their superbowl for comparing how they stack up against the best FCS team.

I disagree to a certain extent. No team "shows up" for all 4 quarters in every game. The mark of a championship team is being able to win games where they don't play very well. With the exception of Kyle Emmanuel that was the case for pretty much the entire Bison team tonight. In all honesty, a game like this is probably better in the long run that a 44-7 blowout because it reminds everyone that they're not unbeatable and nothing will be handed to them. I'm not overly concerned about the performance anywhere tonight. On the contrary, I'm actually a little glad things got a little close for comfort.

[NDSUstudent]

Bison fans are the worst fan base when we don't beat an opponent by 24+ points. Almost worse than a loss.

If we lost Bisonville would have crashed. Almost like the time we lost Bohl.

It would've worse than that... with a GameDay hosting appearance flushed down the toilet we would've needed grief counselors more than message boards. xlolx

I agreed with the comment "it's their super bowl" but the rest of the season will tell that tale for Weber. I give them credit they came to play and had a good scheme for NDSU. NDSU's players and coaches need to come up with a better answer when teams do this to them. You know every MVFC team is going to be looking at that film. Back to the "its their super bowl" comment NDSU is going to see it every game this season. If you don't think there is an added value to being able to be the team and players who knock off the three time defending FCS champions with a 25 or more game winning streak on the line you are kidding yourself. Kids who play on teams that historically struggle and don't have good records see this as their marquee game. It is what it is and NDSU has to show up to play. Kleiman's challenge will be making sure these guys don't overlook anyone.

Oh and if I didn't give Kudo's to Weber let me say you guys played a hell of a game and I wish you the best of luck the rest of the way. I think the coach has you guys on the right track and I can see this team making some noise in the Big Sky.

Good post BB!!

Their coach said this also.

Weber played a very good game. They are better than what they were last year. His offense/defense will give teams trouble this year.

Saying that, I am still impressed with the Bison. They are going to get everyone's best shot this year and they did last night. They took it and still won w/o bringing their 'A' game.

It will be nice to have a home game.....finally!!!

:D

[semobison]

It was their home opener, where they had won 8 of their last 10 or something like that. Super Bowls happen once a year at the end of the season. Sure teams get up for us but to think this was Weber's most important game of the year, like their players had this circled is what I called it earlier.... You don't think they get up for Montana or EWU? A good teams biggest game is the next one. Yes, ending our streak would be big win for the team that finally does it. Read a comment by Crockett in the paper this morning, he said Weber played harder than we did. That is OUR coaches and players problem and hopefully this doesn't happen again. There will be a lot of media hype from the other teams press all season long because of the streak. It is a long season, we just got a 17 point win on the road and our team has plenty of things to improve on.

[Bisonator]

I don't think it has much to do with the final score. I think Bison fans know good football from bad. I can accept a hard fought cleanly played game but some of those penalties and turnovers are unacceptable and have to be corrected before conference play. I'm confident the players and coaches know that and make the adjustments necessary.
