Congratulations NDSU

[TypicalTribe]

Amazing achievement to get the one for the thumb in consecutive years. I doubt we'll ever see it done again at any level.

Is there anyone out there who can put an end to this stampede? Not from where I'm sitting.

Hahaha Literally, I think the woah cool congrats NDSU ended when I said it for their third. Now it's like NDSU wins the NC and in other news the sky is blue

[hebmskebm]

Congrats NDSU! The program you guys have, top to bottom, is simply amazing.

[Big_Fan]

I predicted a 31-17 Bison win on our forum. I was concerned about the 3 week layoff affecting us since so much of our offense is based on timing. Jenkins played the worst game of his career, and while the Bison had something to do with it, we had uncharacteristic unforced turnovers. We played pretty evenly once our team got used to game speed in the second half, but you guys obviously handled the break better than we did. Hats off to you.

Had this game been played 2 weeks ago with Stick at QB, I think we would have won. We might have beaten you with him today. 2 weeks ago with Wentz, it would have been a toss-up. 3 weeks off and Wentz was bad juju for us. That said, I prefer to lose against your best, than to win against something less than your best. I look forward to seeing him play on Sundays.

Hopefully we can do this again in a year (with a different outcome).

[Nickels]

So is this a congrats NDSU thread or a sour grapes thread? I'm confused.

[centennial]

Not sure.

[Nickels]

To sum it up;

Congrats Bison but you're lucky Wentz came back, the layoff was long and Jenkins played his worst game ever.

[Big_Fan]

I guess I have to use simpler statements for the reading comprehension challenged.

Congrats Bison.

You handle layoff good. JSU handle layoff bad.

We play sloppy. You play sharp, like champion.

Wentz real deal. Him difference maker. Stick one pass fly like dying duck. Intercepted. Wish him play more.

We good enough to beat Stick. We no good enough to beat Wentz.

Maybe we play again next year. Hope we learn lesson and beat Bison next time.

[Da Herd]

"Winning breeds complacency" or something like that. We lost a lot of talent after last year and barely beat ISUr as it was. There was no expectation to do it again. After this year? A reduction of program focus is the only thing that I can see stopping the train.

I would have sworn the buckeyes would be back in the tourney after stomping Bama and the ducks last year and losing little but that's now how it worked.

[frozennorth]

I wasn't a fan of the offensive game plan, but I suppose it didn't hurt to give wentz some throws.

Onward 6-peat

You guys were dominated. Stick would have won this game too.

It's hilarious that you think Stick would have had a bad game based on a cold thrown trick play.

Yea, Stick might not be quite as good as Wentz, but he'll likely be one of the top QBs in the conference next year. Give him a full game and he's as good as just about anyone. That was just an odd busted up play.

less than you did. After we were up by 49 we would start kneeing the ball. we just dont run scores up.

[dgtw]

We got our butts kicked. No sour grapes from me. Wentz had nothing to do with how our offense played. Your Polish receiver isn't bad, either. Congrats to the Bisons on a well deserved fifth straight title.

So now do you ****ing understand why we were saying we hear the same old **** from "high powered offense"....NDSU not only kept JSU from their season average they completely blew them out of the water. Confidence is great to have but when you have no reason to be confident just stop making yourself look like an idiot come post game.

I guess us JSU fans have no reason to feel any satisfaction from our season. A championship appearance after a 13-2 season is so commonplace and we look like idiots for looking at the positives.

Everyone talks smack before a game. That's part of the fun and there's no reason people can't be confident in their team. Wish more of our fans would act like we've been here before but there are always the asshats that have to get the jabs in afterward. Just enjoy the win and the ride!

Goodness gracious everyone. This used to be a lot more fun and people would get called out consistently after spewing their confidence and then their team falls flat. Some of y'all act too high and mighty

I think the story for this season is how much their Defense grew week by week. They didn't look like NDSU early in the season, by the end of it, they were playing as well as any NDSU defense from the past 5 seasons.

I don't really care if people are calling me a dick?? Hell years agao Clenz would give me **** about NDSU and not proving anything but now when I spread that to JSU it is a crime? Like someone said before....dish the smack then take the smack even after a loss.

Too bad the team we played in the semi-finals was garbage. Maybe if they were half-decent we would have went in a little more "conscious" of what we were getting ourselves into.

And it would make complete sense there...because that is where the "fight" was taking place. This is where others, and even some of those you were probably battling with are trying to be decent and say "good work".

So you can probably see how poor that looks. It is akin to picking a fight at the after game handshake.

Big fan. He reason you looked shifty was our defense. I watched your QB play three games this year. I said before we played you he was average at best. He has a candy arm and is scared to get hit. Hey if we played Missouri state every week we would look great also. The ONLY reason you were in the finals is your had nothing on your side of the bracket.

You know it's the conference they are in. They did what they are supposed to do. They ran through the playoffs like they were supposed to do. Like NDSU has done to the MVFC in forcing the competition to up their game JSU will do to theirs if those teams want to compete. Is the MVFC the best in the FCS? Yes and I don't think you will find many who will argue that but no need to beat JSU fans up about it? Yeah they had some unwarranted confidence but can you blame them? Carry on.....

[blueballs]

JS lost that game when they didn't go for it on 4th and inches in the first quarter. That "wuss out" sent a message to the players and coaches on both teams and was a concession that the JS coach didn't believe in his team and didn't think they could impose their will on the Bison.

You will not beat NDSU by sitting back and playing by the book. They are masters of playing by the book and their execution is clinical. The only way to compete with them a to attack them, put the foot on the gas and never let up.

I think I remember one of the commentators stating that Vraa was the only NDSU player to suit up yesterday that had been in the program when they had NOT won the NC. That is a powerful thing- the culture and expectation of winning. It can't be overstated and it is a program wide phenomenon, which includes the fanbase. One team got off the bus yesterday and knew exactly what they needed to do and expected to do it. The other team hoped they could do it. That play call on 4th down told us who was who in that regard.

Great job by the Bison not just yesterday but 24/7/365 for many years. You have created a true dynasty and have done it the right way and with class. Congratulations and you're only one ring away from tying GS for the most titles.

I agree that hurt us.

It was the same hyper-conservative mentality that cost us the Auburn game when we ran up the middle 3 times in the 4th quarter when we needed one first down to run out the clock and win.

I thought we should have gone for it but t was only a small part of why we lost. They were the better team.

This is always the answer when a team's offense doesn't play well against NDSU. Maybe, just maybe, there's more to it than having an "off day" as so many people like to say.

IMO we play JSU 5 times 3-4 are similar to yesterday, 1 is a close game. We play UNI 5 times we lose 1 maybe 2.

[Gangtackle11]

Congrats to NDSU team & fans!

Truly amazing streak of excellence.

[TheKingpin28]

Finally sobered up completely from Friday and congrats to NDSU on this Drive for 5 and to JSU for making it this far. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing a H&H from these teams in the near future.

[Wilson16]

UNI is clearly the second best team in the FCS. Not even close

The way the defense and the run game was playing then plug in one of the best QBs in the nation, I don't see any team in the country faring any better than JSU.

I don't either. JSU could have handled that game a lot better, there were a lot of offensive mistakes on our side of the ball but a lot of it can be attributed to a dominating Bison defense.

I'm really curious where all the "UNI was the second best FCS team" statements are coming from? Was it their losses to WIU and ISUr or is it because #ButtNDSU?

You just got man-handled by NDSU and are now questioning why the majority of this fan base feels like UNI is a better opponent... The team that almost beats NDSU every year... Boy I've seen it all now

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Just back from the drive home and some thoughts:

- Great job by the Bison defense yesterday. Totally dominated a very explosive offense. JSU's offense looked shell-shocked the whole game. I thought this game would have been a 2 TD Bison win and I was wrong.

- Awesome atmosphere at Toyota Stadium. 75% Bison fans made it another "home" game....as if there was any doubt in that. Great job Bison fans.

- Carson Wentz = Stud Great leader and I hope he has a long NFL career

- JSU's DL was good but I was unimpressed with them after all the hype on these FBS dropdowns....

- NDSU would beat JSU 9-10/10 times.

- In this 5 year run the two best teams I have witnessed the Bison play are UNI and Ill State.

- Number 6? With 8 coming back on defense, I will not count them out.

They'll always be seed champions. No one can take that away from them...

UNI is better than JSU deal with it

[NoDak 4 Ever]

and by far the most unjustified **** talkers out of all 4 fanbases.

You guys came close year 1 but everybody was kind of an unknown commodity. These guys really bought into their hype.

Really? Better than GS in 2012 with their NFL players?

Maybe he wasn't at/witnessed that game? (if he was...which I'm sure he was....he jumped the shark there. xlolx ) I think that GS team in 2012 is better than your squad this year.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Congrats to NDSU, you guys really know how to beat cocks

Leave Grizo out of this, he was drunk and did some unsavory things that weekend......some of which we will never speak of, then there is the tailgate incident that will live in infamy.

#silkpursesowsear

[Cocky]

I agree.

JSU fans set themselves up for this.

You didnt catch much crap after the JSU game. Your pre game post were as over the top as anyone but the post game payback was little to none.

[BisonBacker]

I would have to say GS is right there. "I wouldn't want to have to live on the difference" Reppie points if anyone gets that quote which in this instance is spot on.

I don't think he phrased it correctly. I don't think he meant "the best team", more like "the team that played the best".

GSU gave us a scare in 2012 but nobody has consistently played NDSU better than UNI.

To be fair nobody outside of the MVFC teams get a chance to consistently play us. Teams that get a second shot usually fare much better and UNI didn't take us to the wire in the playoffs. See GSU, CCU, and SDSU.

Nothing worse than fans of teams not good enough to play for the championship trolling fans of teams that did.

Hey now, they may not have played in Frisco, but at least they accomplished the feat of beating Colgate.

[Twentysix]

Man how times have changed. Just a few short years ago Colgate was a hot button topic on AGS regarding playoff bids. Now they are actually earning their spot at the playoff table.

They've played in Frisco twice btw.

I'm aware but he's trying to troll our 2015 team. His 2015 team got waffle stomped. He can go eat a curb.

Ya, Georgia Southern is right there also.

McKinnon was a stud!


Also, one individual player that was one of the best I have witnessed play against the Bison was Wofford's Eric Breintenstein...(sp)....he totally carried that team on his back.

[Ivytalk]

Congrats!

Is Bama next?;)

[JSUSoutherner]

You have been since day one.
Yeah, saying why I thought my team was better must have been the most hardcore trolling you've ever experienced. I hope it didn't traumatize you.

The difference between me and Nickles is that after my team got **** stomped I didn't keep trying to troll the team that did the stomping. xcoffeex
