Bison loose in Eagle territory

[clenz]

I can't wait to see how the smack to this game actually builds.

IBY is in Seattle for work. Tonight I randomly get a video snapchat from a completely sober version of himself of a giant wall of scaled down helmets for every football program in the state of Washington. He video starts with a random circle drawn and it and a slow zoom. The end result?

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160729/6ed3b3d5fdcb6133042207d93e6111bd.jpg

No more than 5 minutes after I open that snap this conversation happened.

Yeah....I can't wait to see what happens in a few weeks.

Okay, well, looked scaled down in the snap

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Well clenzy, it just really shouldn't be on the most public board we have I wouldn't think. If you at least put it on a board that people need an account to see, and knowing what is in those forums can choose I think we'd be on much more solid ground.

I'm moving it to the lounge. Fix it and I'll put it back here.

[IBleedYellow]

Here's a picture of it... we're at CenturyLink Field for the night.

google the rigged and completely biased "NDSU VS EWU playoff game 2010". Watch the last play of Brock Jensen as a QB and decide for yourself. Then you will understand why BisoNation completely hates and despises EWU. Had they won that game, there is a decent chance NDSU would have gone for their 7th straight title.

It was the 2010 quarterfinal game in Cheney Washington on that God awful red field.

JSU if you watch that game notice how NDSU had a 1st and 10 at about the EWU 35-40 and got 7 or so on 1st down. 2nd and 3 or so. Then got 1 or 2. Then 3rd and 1 or 2. EWU stuffed NDSU on third down. If NDSU gets the first down they win that game. NDSU then punts to EWU and to the Eagles credit they completed numerous 4th down conversions during their drive to tie the game.

That sent the game into OT.

Is the fumble call questionable....yes. However if NDSU took care of their business before it never would have happened.

I still hate EWU though. IBY get a super soaker or a "water/pee" balloon and let her fly.

It's why, even with what UNI lost in the secondary, I feel good about that game.

LB Jared Farley (9 TFL last season)
DE Karter Schult (14 sacks 22.5 TFL last season)
DE Isaac Ales (8.5 sacks 16.5 TFL last season
LB Deshawn Dexter (11 TFL last season)

The way UNI produces LB and DL talent....man....it'll be tough for EWU to get a rhythm against the pressure UNI will bring.

I smell what you are cooking Clenz! The only way I see EWU keeping it close is if the UNI players are throwing up the entire game due to the color of the field.

Clenz please tell me this is the last LB named Farley for UNI. People can say what they want about HC Farley but the man certainly has the LB gene.

I am fairly certain the fumble play was reviewed. The thing about that game is that provided great motivation for the team the next season and taught NDSU that they were good enough to play for a National Championship.

1. I wasn't addressing you specifically, but rather any and all Bison fans who are so dissatisfied with 5 national titles in a row that they feel the need to bitch about an allegedly rigged game that happened nearly 6 years ago.

2. Calling it a "biased and obviously rigged game" leads me to believe you are one of those fans. My bad if that's not the case.

If they are this bent out of shape about 2010 imagine if they lost what would have been one of the biggest upsets in college football history.


https://vine.co/v/eFnaMpAWizD

That was a missed holding call vs Auburn. Roc Thomas scored a 51-yard TD that play. Should have been called back. If it would have been brought back we would have won.

THAT'S what really getting screwed looks like.

I mean I get it, but only to a certain point.

There are a lot of teams who would be claiming way more National Championships if we go back to a loss in a Quarterfinal game that was based on a questionable call. Heck if I went through I could find plenty of them for UNI.

It is like Cub fans and Bartman. Sure that play was big, but it was only game 6 and only the NLCS. There are plenty others. I know you only have the one playoff loss, but they way some of you guys act that was a play that cost you an NC. Turns out it was a QF game. Not the SF or even the NC. So there is no guarantee of anything even if you win that game.

[clenz]

Announced attendance for the final home game of 2014 was ~70% capacity of the Fargodome, and if I'm not mistaken announced was a whole lot different than A.I.S. for that game.

Now they claim to have a 300 year waitlist and quarter million dollar minimum donation to get season tickets....


So....

Your claim is fairly accurate.

What game are you talking about? We've been sold out every game since 2011.

Single game tickets go on sale on Monday at 8am. They cost $35. I'll give you $65 for any tickets to any home games you can snag. Seats not standing room only, but SRO will sell out quickly also.

I agree with Dewey. We didn't take care of business when we had the chance to put the game away. Lots of our fans also forget that It took EWU just one play to score in OT! ...Now, I do agree that the fumble was a bad call, but this game was a springboard to our ongoing dominance of FCS football. No complaints here!

Well history showed what happened but I will be making sure win or lose, this guy puts on his Gold and Green hat while knowing when homerism is getting in the way of logic.

Actually announced attendance for the final regular season game of 2014 against Youngstown State was 18696 and the capacity is 18700 or so. As far as I know there has been a season ticket wait list since before the 2013 season through this year.

I believe you can transfer tickets down a generation. I suppose they can make sure it's a younger ticket holder with young kids or no kids. Getting kinda sadistic now.

Actually, IIRC, Gene Taylor gave up some of his personal seats to secure these big donations.

[Bisonator]

A lot of things happened in that EWU game back in 2010. There were some real ****ty calls that went EWU's way but can't say that NDSU didn't have plenty of chances to win it anyway. The real ****ing tragedy was having to watch that game on TV and burning my retina's from the god awful field.

I'm in the same boat. Was working enough Saturday's I didn't want to commit to season tickets. The year I said screw it I'm not working Saturdays in the fall was the year they started turning people away.

I am just glad I get to watch NDSU and Iowa go head to head finally. Been a long time coming and I am just glad NDSU got to whoop Iowa State's ass. I can't describe how much I despise the Red and Gold.


The Hawkeyes will be tough at home but I think the Bison have a decent chance in this one. Iowa has a ton coming back on defense so hopefully Stick can move the chains with his arm. They also have 3 returning OL, so I suspect they will try to run the ball.

It will be a fun game to watch.

It brings me much joy to see how much you all despise our red field. Couldn't ask for a better response.

That being said, this year will likely not be EWU's best. They have some incredible challenges, especially on the OL as has been noted. And I won't believe the defense has improved to the level necessary until I see it happen with my own eyes. That being said, we have plenty of playmakers, and a hell of a HC that has already been game planning around our challenges. I know as long as that is the case, EWU will always have a chance.

So for that, I won't be puffing out my chest, and laying down a lot of smack from my end.

But please, shut up about losing the game in 2010 already. Sheesh! Every team in the world has been on the losing end of what they perceived to be bad calls. Maybe it was a bad call, maybe it wasn't. I really don't think there was strong enough video evidence to overturn the call on the field. Sorry, that stuff happens in football. Enjoy your 5 NC's. If that play was part of the motivation that helped get you there, the last thing I'd be doing is still dwelling on it. A perceived shafting can be one of the most powerful motivators.

Well said.

I bet most Bison fans are eagerly awaiting this game with EWU. If the Eagles cannot protect their QB and give him some time, even if they are in the shotgun the whole game, they will get run off the field. EWU's defense has been porous and pathetic since their '10 title year and I do not expect that to be turned around 180 degrees by this game. The Eagle defense will get a steady dose of power run and play action pass. I'm sure Baldwin will sell out to try and stop the run but Stick is a very good runner and he will probably have a huge game with his legs. If he gets by the 1st level of defenders he is gone. Make the Bison beat you through the air.....although that is easier said than done.

EWU runs a 4-2-5 defensive alignment right? Great for defending passing teams in the Big Sky but not power running teams like NDSU. This game will be won by NDSU in the 2nd half. EWU's defense will be gassed and their young OL will have a really tough time IMO, with the Bison front seven. Menard (DE) is going to get double teamed by EWU, along with Tanguay (DT); that will leave Ambrious (DE) and Steidl (DT) one on one.....xhurrayx which will leave the Bison LBs free to cover or bring and extra man for pressure.

It will be fun watching how the Bison defend Kupp. If the Eagles have no time to pass he will be non-existent in this game. The Bison will probably roll the coverage to his side but I bet they play their normal Tampa-2 to see how the CBs do against him. But with the Bison returning 6/7 of their front 7 from last year, I do not believe EWU will be able to much of anything against this defense. I could be wrong....but I doubt it......

Last year's playoff games:

Montana - 6 points and 235 total yards

UNI - 13 points and 221 total yards

Richmond - 7 points and 209 total yards

Jacksonville State - 10 points and 204 total yards


With 8 back on defense, I think the Bison will be able to handle whatever EWU has to throw at them.

I cannot wait for this game!!

At this point I just say it because it's fun to poke the bears of NDSU fans that get grumpy and still hold a grudge about it.

We won 5. In a row. Who cares about one bad call at this point. We had a chance to win that game on the final drive of the game and couldn't stop ya.

And that's why Bison fans remember it.

While there's a small kernel of real anger at the heart of it, I think most Bison fans play up the anger mostly for humorous effect. That doesn't always come through on the internet.

Most fanbases have a library of "shared moments". Moments where the entire fanbase had the same emotion at the same time. Sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's negative. Stanford Band. Wide Right. Magic City Miracle. These moments help tie you together with the fan sitting next to you even if you know nothing else about them. Just mentioning the moment brings back the feelings you had at that time. You commiserate or celebrate a bit to share the experience, then you move on. To an outsider, it looks like complaining or gloating, but it's really not. It's a bonding experience.

Bison fans have had several of these moments in recent years. The FG at Montana in 2003. The pass vs. SHSU in 2007. The Drive at KSU. The stand vs. GSU in 2012. The "fumble" at EWU in 2010. Thankfully, they've mostly been positive. That's probably why we remember the negative ones so well. Especially the "fumble". The other major negatives weren't moments, they were entire games. Not as easy to pin an emotion to them. SDSU 2007. UNI 2014. USD 2015.

There is a kernel of truth to it, but it is definitely a schtick too.

Theres an old adage that you never allow the refs to be in a position to determine the out come of a game. NDSU didnt do that. They couldnt finish. They couldnt stop EWU from marching down the field and scoring.
Was it a bad call? Yes. But thats show biz. You stop them from marching down the the field after youve taken the lead the refs dont come in to play and you dont need last minute herorics to pull it out.

This whole revenge thing is comical to me. Nobody on either team from that game is playing. There really isnt a rivalry so I dont understand what the big deal is.
