I thought these kids were all brand new? How do they know what Kyle Field is like? Didn't they get creamed at Death Valley?

Well SHSU has played top teir teams in FBS. Not Minnesota and Iowa State. I'd like to see NDSU start scheduling SEC west schools.

[Professor Chaos]

Keeler may be prepared for the crowd noise but not all of his players will be.

Switch locations and likely we'd be doing just that.

[bluehenbillk]

Gosh, I wonder how KC Keeler has ever lost a game. He is so awesome he should have won every national championship with an undefeated record.

Since you brought it up: Keeler record in FCS semi-final games: 3-0, so you're right he hasn't lost a game xdrunkyx:)

NDSU plays games within its recruiting footprint. These games serve a purpose.

[Texas]

A lot of these guys have played at Death Valley & Kyle Field.

But noise will always be a factor regardless of experience...otherwise NFL linemen would never be bothered by crowd noise. Will definitely be an issue tonight but it's not something our guys have never dealt with.

Shh! North Dakota Noise is like Big Sky Cold! We should call the game now, we had a good run.

Why would we follow the SHSU model for scheduling teams, you prove nothing in doing so except for the fact that your athletic department is in dire need of cash. Why don't you start doing it like NDSU has done, and schedule teams that will challenge your team, give you a chance to win and help your team improve. Getting thrashed by LSU 56-0 taught you nothing except how to deposit a check, and those losses put your team behind the eight ball all season.

[thebootfitter]

WAS ONE W....MICHIGAN??.......AWK!
The 2007 Michigan team that finished 9-4 and probably was pretty comparable at the end of the year to the 8-5 Kansas State team of 2013? (FWIW -- K-State actually finished with a higher Sagarin rating last year than Michigan did in 2007.)

That Michigan win was impressive, no doubt. The media hype around it was deserved, but other than from the national perception, I'm not convinced it was a significantly higher quality win than some other FCS over FBS wins.

You mean like EWU as the season opener? I too would like to see or AD schedule more quality teams like that too. UT(2007)/A&M/LSU/etc just aren't as much fun.

There are over 100 teams in the FCS, and around half of the FBS level schools that you could try for. Going to play LSU,Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Alabama, Ohio St and so on is nothing more than a payday. Even when App St beat Michigan it was never expected at any time before the game that it was anything more than a payday. 99% of those types of games are chalked up for the loss column before they are played. You probably won't have to worry about finding opponents outside the power five to much longer though, since the FBS playoff selection committee has now proven that strength of schedule matters. Any power 5 or any other team with dreams of going to a FBS playoff game are going to stop playing FCS all together or risk not being selected, just ask Baylor and TCU, out of conference strength of schedule doomed them.

Actually, not having a true conference championship game and a single champion doomed them more than playing an FCS team.

[TennBison]

Actually, not having a true conference championship game and a single champion doomed them more than playing an FCS team.

That is what the conference said it thought was the reason, but the selection committee said it was strength of schedule. OOC for Baylor was pretty much dead last in the FBS, and TCU was not to far ahead of them.

Yep the SHSU coach complained the the NDSU pregame activities are a unfair advantage for the home team. What a rube. First you have SHSU fans complaining that Fargo is not lively enough on a finals week Thursday night, then their teams coach says there is to much going on and it is unfair.

Me too. You'd think if it was true there would be a link provided to the quote.

Wouldn't surprise me though, it would be a good way to play the expectations game with ndsu's department. And judging by bison reactions here, just the rumor of a comment seems to have given him some free space in the fan base head.

Local radio station had Keeler on (taped yesterday) and he said they looked at a total of 125 FBS transfers when they took over and picked the best 16-17 guys. They had a lot of scholarships and most HS kids had already committed to schools.

Really confident coach. He's worried about the Bison offense eating up clock. Sounds like a lot of talented kids. Sammy is really young. 22 starters coming back next year...xeekx

[344Johnson]

Dont see why transfers are an issue. Schools use the the resources that are available. Be that juco, or transfers from the other divisions if the transfers fit their needs and wants. After your coach has been there awhile and developes relationships with the High schools and develops his own recruits he may not need to use transfers as much.

This guy was a transfer.

Ideally I don't know that anyone wants to build a team on transfers. I don't see a problem with utilizing them though. If a guy can play and he wants to play for you, why not?

FG good, but I don't think FG's are gonna do much good it the long run

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

KC knows fg not going to get it done

CCU was able to respond last week with a FG and then build off of that. Johnson has to pull off a few more highlight type plays for SHSU to pull this of...

[dewey]

God dang my vocal chords hurt already! Dang 3rd and 20 and SHSU getting the first that kept their drive alive.

Dewey

[Winindy]

Sam got their feet under them on that drive. NDSU looking very stout on 1st and 2nd downs, but Sam had huge 3rd down and long conversions. I did li like Keeler throwing his head back with a "F*** me!" after the last incomplete pass.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

KC knows fg not going to get it done

True dat. Don't know if SHSU is starting to get some things going here but they held on by their finger nails and got down there so we'll see if they can keep the production up.

[Sam_Kats]

Where was the penalty on NDSU for leading with their pads???

[TheKingpin28]

There are a lot of no calls for both teams

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Great series for the SHSU defense...

[GAD]

SHSU is playing great D so far

[GAD]

Crowd doesn't seem as loud tonight

[Winindy]

Louder than last week according to that DB meter

[caribbeanhen]

Bizn playing back on dare hOOFS

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Having watched NDSU the last 3 weeks it's clear they are not as physical upfront as they have been. I'm surprised how much they dominated Iowa State in the trenches in hindsight.

[TheKingpin28]

I'm shocked the last 4 plays not one offensive penalty but you got to move on and just accept it. Let's get a stop here

[rokamortis]

I'm shocked the last 4 plays not one offensive penalty but you got to move on and just accept it. Let's get a stop here

They are calling it the same for both teams. But I didn't see anything blatant.

[Winindy]

Gotta make that catch.

[caribbeanhen]

Dey shoulda went for it, they was on a roll..... KC leans to the right and the kick too

[GAD]

FG no good

[Winindy]

I like that they aren't calling much. Those early round games were brutal.

[Texas]

They are calling it the same for both teams. But I didn't see anything blatant.

Yup.

[TheKingpin28]

They are calling it the same for both teams. But I didn't see anything blatant.

The only one that made me frustrated was the first down run where CJ smith was grabbed on the edge and spun around in front of the SJ and nothing. But as I said earlier, they are going both ways for no calls

[ursus arctos horribilis]

They are calling it the same for both teams. But I didn't see anything blatant.

Bingo.

[caribbeanhen]

nice adjust from the QB

[GAD]

Delay of game WOW

[ursus arctos horribilis]

It's looking like SHSU is starting to man hande this Bison O Line which is just about unfathomable.

[caribbeanhen]

Sammy looking like the more athletic team

[rokamortis]

Sammy looking like the more athletic team

Their D front look really good.

[caribbeanhen]

QB not seeing what I saw

[TheKingpin28]

We can at least agree that there was some illegal contact there on RJ

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Sammy looking like the more athletic team

To me that is a given, I'm surprised at them looking more physical than NDSU.

[mmiller_34]

I don't like SHSU's butt stripes.

[centennial]

Another blatant call not called.

[GAD]

4th down SHSU is hanging in there
Nice punt

[caribbeanhen]

Their D front look really good.

Rokamortis, looks like the better team lost last week, really let an opportunity slip away........ I m starting to think Sammy is gonna find a way

[Texas]

Another blatant call not called.

I like how you only pop up when it helps you. God forbid you call out the holds that kept that drive alive.

[mmiller_34]

Sammy looking like the more athletic team

They have 18 FBS transfers doh.

[Ginsbach]

I don't like SHSU's butt stripes.

Me either. They've had some terrible uniforms over the years.

[Texas]

I don't like SHSU's butt stripes.

Same here.

[rokamortis]

We can at least agree that there was some illegal contact there on RJ

It was uncatchable.

[TheKingpin28]

I like how you only pop up when it helps you. God forbid you call out the holds that kept that drive alive.

Kind of like the last drive for SHSU or did you forget about those as well?

- - - Updated - - -


It was uncatchable.

Yeah since he was held for about half the route?

[Texas]

Kind of like the last drive for SHSU or did you forget about those as well?

You can see me agreeing with others that they are "letting them play". I'm not crying about penalties.

[Sam_Kats]

We're not good at the uniform thing

[Sycamore62]

We can at least agree that there was some illegal contact there on RJ
Yes. On sunday that will be illegal contact. 5yds automatic 1st down

[Texas]

We're not good at the uniform thing

Our jerseys have been great. Pants not so much.

[rokamortis]

Rokamortis, looks like the better team lost last week, really let an opportunity slip away........ I m starting to think Sammy is gonna find a way
I don't know about that - I'd kill to have some of SHSU's athletes on D.

I know NDSU said we were more physical than they thought we'd be - perhaps they are just getting wore down from the battles.

We got beat up pretty bad. Our QB had a separated shoulder early in the game but didn't come out. He had surgery this week.

[Sam_Kats]

The under is looking profitable

[344Johnson]

Does the FargoDome always sound this quiet on TV? I'm normally at the game so I wouldn't know..

[GAD]

Does the FargoDome always sound this quiet on TV? I'm normally at the game so I wouldn't know..
It sounds a lot quieter to me

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

SHSU front 7 is bringing it! who gets the 2nd half KO?

[Sam_Kats]

Did the fans already make up with Keeler??

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Does the FargoDome always sound this quiet on TV? I'm normally at the game so I wouldn't know..

It never sounds real loud on TV. It didn't sound real loud to me in person either. Alpha said last week in there it was the first time it started sounding loud to him.

[caribbeanhen]

It sounds a lot quieter to me

so do the bye son

[TheKingpin28]

SHSU front 7 is bringing it! who gets the 2nd half KO?

NDSU

[Sycamore62]

Does the FargoDome always sound this quiet on TV? I'm normally at the game so I wouldn't know..

50% of the ISUb games i have watched in the last 3 years were

[caribbeanhen]

KC is one conservative SOB

[344Johnson]

It never sounds real loud on TV. It didn't sound real loud to me in person either. Alpha said last week in there it was the first time it started sounding loud to him.

Might be making the trip to Missoula next fall. Got some relatives out there.

Nice to see defenses setting the tone.

[dwtime]

Good game so far, go SHSU!

[mmiller_34]

Good game! Cmon Bison!

[Sam_Kats]

2011: 6-3 Kats @ half
2012: 10-10 @ half
2014: 7-3 Bison @ half

[Da Herd]

Not a fan of Sam looking like the more physical team. Should be a good second 1/2

[Old Cat Fan]

Does the FargoDome always sound this quiet on TV? I'm normally at the game so I wouldn't know..

The PA system must be broken:D

[TheKingpin28]

I really don't want to see Emanuel go in and punt. Need to keep him healthy at DE

[Mr. C]

What no replay on the punt?

[dwtime]

Wow he just missed that punt

[Sam_Kats]

No way that thing wasn't blocked.

[TheKingpin28]

No way that thing wasn't blocked.

It actually wasn't. The replay clearly showed he went through the ball

[dwtime]

What no replay on the punt?

It kind of looked like it was redirected like it was touched but the defender reacted like he didn't get to it.

- - - Updated - - -

Turnover

[Sycamore62]

its so hard to tell in real time for R

[Texas]

Interception!

[Mr. C]

SHSU also blocked Villanova's first punt last week to set up a score

[GAD]

INT huge break for the Bearkats

[Sam_Kats]

Oh. I stand corrected. Went out to grab another beer. Didn't see replay. My bad

[344Johnson]

No way that thing wasn't blocked.

Sure looked close. Probably should have been looked at but I don't think he got it.

[Mr. C]

NDSU tackles so well, as good as an team in FCS

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

If NDSU can get to 14 that might be good enough.

[TheKingpin28]

Huge stop after that pathetic throw for an INT. It was good positioning on the CB though

[Texas]

Really QB draw called?

[GAD]

Bearkats can't capitalize

[Sycamore62]

Really QB draw called?
Worked on the 5

[GAD]

NDSU tackles so well, as good as an team in FCS
So true

[UNHWildcat18]

Really QB draw called?


I know right...how bout get a TE in there for protection and actually throw the ball on 3rd down. This SHSU can win the game if they capitalize. I think that's 4 draws on 3rd down....

[mmiller_34]

You can really hear the PA guy on the broadcast

[Texas]

Worked on the 5

It worked but Bison have been sniffing it out. Very conservative play calling so far...

[344Johnson]

NDSU coaching staff is what Richard Sherman would call mediocre.

[TheKingpin28]

That's what we need more of. Get that wheel route PA to force the box to open more

TD KING FRAIZER

[Bison56]

TD by the King!!!! Nice drive.

[Da Herd]

NDSU coaching staff is what Richard Sherman would call mediocre.

I miss bohl but a nice couple plays there!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow! Now it will be interesting to see how SHSU responds....

[GAD]

TD Bison!

[Sam_Kats]

Well that should do it. Maybe our OC will call a QB draw on our next 3rd down

[Winindy]

Nice play calling progression on that drive.

[Sam_Kats]

OMG...is that a transfer that scored for NDSU????

[GAD]

ok now the crowd is more into it

[TheKingpin28]

OMG...is that a transfer that scored for NDSU????

Yes I guess the score should have an asterisk next to it? Well played though

[344Johnson]

Well, if ndsu gets points here the game is over.

[UNHWildcat18]

SHSU playcalling has been horrible. Also their O-line is looking like crap.

[IBleedYellow]

OMG...is that a transfer that scored for NDSU????
Just like to point out NDSU recruited King Frazier heavily and he chose to walk on at Nebraska. After a year he chose to come back.



Also, clearly our one transfer can out run all of yours.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Boy this could be the time it all goes out the window for having played a decent game against The Bison so far.

[TheKingpin28]

TD CROCKET THE ROCKET!

[IBleedYellow]

There we go!

[Bison56]

TD!!!!!!
