Hansel,
What's the talk about NDSU or SDSU joining the Gateway conference next year? Have you heard anything about that?

While listening to the SIU game, they were talking about you guys being contenders. We're Western Kentuky to I-A which opens up a spot.

If it happens (which is probably at least 50%) it will happen starting in 08 (for both teams)

From the sounds of this game... you guys can only make our conference tougher. Gotta love that. We got one of the best now, and it'll be even better.

NDSU nearly has a pick

[JackTwice]

I posted this same thing in the GWFC thread.

Congrats to the Bison on a great win and a great season. Be careful though, the Jacks are inching ever closer. I expect us to be battling like this for conference titles no matter where we end up.

[Go Bison]

Do you think everyone will vote for NDSU to get in? I have heard rumors that some teams like Indiana State are against it because of travel and that NDSU and SDSU are good teams.

Congrats to the Bison. I am very proud of my Jackrabbits and am looking forward to next year when the Bison have to come to Brookings!

[Go Bison]

Great West Champs!!
Dakota Marker stays in Fargo!!
Looking forward to next year!!
Hopefully NDSU can get some good teams to come to the Fargodome.

[Saluki Fan in FL]

You I don't know. We gotta replace Western Kentuky. I'm sure they want to replace them with the best. You guys have great ball teams. Sure travel is an issue... but mostly for you guys. We only have to go there every other year. Why would Gateway teams be against that? If you guys are for it... why not!

Honestly, I'm all for it. I was scepticle before I learned how good your teams were. NDSU has a chance for the Championship this year. And for SDSU to play this well against this team... speaks volumes for there program as well.

[Go Bison]

Congrats to the Bison. I am very proud of my Jackrabbits and am looking forward to next year when the Bison have to come to Brookings!

The Jacks sure are tough. Next year's game will be a good one!

[RabidRabbit]

I don't like how the final score ended up, but WOW what a GREAT EXCITING Game!!!!

Congrats to the undefeated in IAA Bison.

As I stated in the pre-season, Bison are goiing to be unhappy not play-off eligible. I think the Bison could have gone far into the play-offs.

[Rabbit3467]

Great game. Sucks the jacks lost, but the bison are a great team, and SDSU played them as tough as anyone this season. Congrats NDSU, 2006 GWFC champions. :hurray:

[filbert]

41-28 Bison is your final.

WHAT!!! NDSU will play in the playoffs won't they?

[Hammersmith]

WHAT!!! NDSU will play in the playoffs won't they?
Neither NDSU nor SDSU will be eligible for the playoffs until 2008.

[Hansel]

WHAT!!! NDSU will play in the playoffs won't they?
not eligible till 08 because of the DII transition

[SiouxFallsJack]

Congrats Bison on the win and Great West Championship! I'm very proud of our team after coming back from the 0-3 start. Can't wait to get you guys down in Brookings next year!

[Go Bison]

The Jacks played a great game. That Senior QB really looked good and the play calling had the Bison D off balanced all game.

[AmsterBison]

Jacks just refuse to be tackled too... and Kardoes is something else.

Jackrabbits players are some of the classiest in all of college athletics (although they are plenty nasty on the field). Great guys. Great coaches.

[Saluki Fan in FL]

not eligible till 08 because of the DII transition
I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!

That really sucks. You guys are #4 in the rankings. Oh man!

Well at least for us Salukis... that's one of the best teams in the nation that we don't have to face. Man I was sweating having to face you guys in the playoffs. That's the main reason why I tuned in to listen to your game.

Well you can hold your head up very high. You guys finished on top regardless of the playoffs. Maybe with all the talk of you guys coming to the Gateway we'll be scheduled to play next year. Hope so.

Nice chatting with you guys. Good luck next year!!!

Here are a couple of stories about last night's game:

Jacks fall to NDSU Bison in title game, 28-41

Jeremy Fugleberg

A last minute interception by North Dakota State University sealed the fate of the Jackrabbits, who fell to the Bison 28-41. The border battle victory gave the Bison the Great West Football Conference title and the Dakota Marker.

A record Fargodome crowd of 19,053 watched the Bison (10-1) and Jackrabbits (7-4) slug it out for 69 combined points and 824 yards of total offense, trading touchdowns through the air and on the ground.

It was a big-play game by the two big-play heavyweights of the conference. The Jackrabbits, ranked 18th in the nation in Division 1AA, surprised the Bison with several big scores and a powerful running game. . . . (read more)

Close, but no league title for Jacks
Late punt return dooms SDSU hopes against NDSU

By terry vandrovec
[email protected]
PUBLISHED: November 19, 2006

FARGO - There was no coming back from this return.

No. 4-ranked North Dakota State beat No. 19 South Dakota State 41-28 on Saturday night before a Fargodome record crowd of 19,053, the key play an 84-yard punt return by senior Travis White with 6 minutes, 13 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Just one minute earlier, the Jackrabbits, a team that had won seven games in a row, including three in heart-stopping fashion, were on the verge of deja vu. They took possession with 8:50 left down only three points and feeling "unstoppable" as senior receiver Micah Johnson put it.

But ultimately they were denied - again. . . . (read more)

Just for those who don't know this is what NDSU and SDSU play for. It stays in Fargo for another year. :hurray:

[JackJD]

That's a portion of the "Dakota Marker". There's a black granite base the pink granite attaches to. The pink granite piece the Bison's #74 Adam Tadisch is holding in the picture is a miniature of the boundary markers that separated North Dakota and South Dakota. I think they were originally spaced about every mile or 10 miles on the border when the two states were admitted to the Union in 1889. The originals, or at least many of them, are still out on the prairie.

The first Dakota marker game was held at SDSU's Coughlin Alumni Stadium in 2004 and the Jackrabbits came from behind and scored twice in something like two minutes to win the game and take the Marker. Last year. the game was in the Fargodome and the Bison beat the tar out of the 'Rabbits. This year, the Jacks had to return to Fargo (just a matter of scheduling) and it was a real battle in front of 19,000 + fans.

Next year, back to Brookings and we're looking forward to it. The Bison are a great team but you'll have to say the Jackrabbits are rapidly improving. Early prediction: 20,000 fans at Coughlin; SDSU 24, NDSU 10.

[JBB]

Jacks really impressed:

1) Physical strength and speed. Steffes got run down on what would have been a TD against anyone else.

2) Execution.

3) Passing game.

Jacks controlled the stats. NDSU got the big play one too many times. It was the best game of the season in Fargo!!

Coughlin can fit 20,000 fans? NDSU will still have Steve Walker, next year NDSU wins Bison 27 Jacks 24.

[NDSUFREAK]

Naw, i thought it was 16,000 that Coughlin could hold. Must bring in extra stands for next year?
