Defenses are usually a little ahead of offenses to start the season and I'm assuming this Bison team will be the same way. I'm an eternal optimist and probably a pretty big homer but with what this team has coming back on both sides of the ball, I easily see a 11-0 regular season.

Now could they lose some games? Sure they can and probably to a few different teams: EWU, SDSU, UNI and probably Ill State. Three of those are on the road but the Bison have been a very, very good road team the last 6 years. Last years 2 losses were at home, so yes, they could definitely lose to UNI but I don't think it will happen.

2 RFR are looking really good on the OL: Radunz and Volson and Zack Johnson is really looking good I guess. The OL will be young with probably only 1 senior starting, Kuhnert but they will be very talented. With the Bison, it all starts with both of the lines and both of them will be good. OL might take a couple of games to get the starting 5 combo figured out but the DL could be scary good.

This team will make a serious run for the NC.


8-0 in the conference, only loss is to EWU, first three games will be ugly. OOC will be 2-1.

I can see this team reminding me of the 2012 Bison. They will dominate where they need to, struggle in a game where they should not, lose a game where they are heavy favorites, and then coming out on fire after that until the playoffs where it is a slug fest till the end.

This is probably the most likely scenario.

Bump.....this game is still happening right?

After the game last year with these guys I felt really sorry for the program and that they need to do these games. I think part of the payment from us to them other than the cash last year was a fairly decent amount of "Muscle Milk" or something for the program.

It has to be hard to try and make a program like this work with the lack of funding and I was glad we (UM) had a chance to kick in and help in a couple of ways whether that was part of the intent or not.

Midway through the 1st qtr. you will want to chip in and help them get a good strength and conditioning coach. Not trying to be a jerk here, they just need serious help and that is a main part of the problem right out of the gate. I would love to see that team dig it's way out and move up the food chain a little bit cuz I really did feel bad for their program after last years game.

My quarters in Fargo are confirmed.

I will be in Fargo Thursday the 31st (sometime in the evening - it's an 8 hour drive, plus I'm going to make a few stops in Minneapolis to see US Bank Stadium, Target Center renovation progress, and get some CFA for IBY) through Sunday the 3rd in the AM sometime to make the craptastic 8 hour drive back.

So...I've been to Fargo plenty of times but almost always for business or a Friday night in/Sunday AM out going to a game on Saturday.

I need something to do on Friday. What is there?

Don't tell me go see the only hill in Fargo, which is in the Red River Zoo.

I lived in North Dakota for 7 years, does that count? :(

I was just figuring since I live about 10 miles from 494/I35 so I figured it would be on your way home. Allows you to get out and walk around since I made a drive from Fargo to Iowa City a few years ago, non-stop except for gas just before the Twin Cities, and I thought my legs were going to go numb.

Meh, an 8 hour drive isn't too bad. I've driven to Faro from Cedar Falls about 7 or 8 times. It's only an hour shorter than what I have now. I've driven from my house to Fargo just 3 years ago for the Montana game.

I've been to Seattle/Vancouver/Victoria Island
I've been to Dallas, San Antonio, Brownsville/Matamoros, San Fernando
I've been to Louisville, Lexinton, The Daniel Boone National Forest
I've been Estes Park/Denver
I've been to International Falls

I've never been on a plane...ever.

Include in those cities every mile of road between Cedar Falls, and Cedar Rapids, and those places - plus a ****ton of random stops in between to do sight seeing.

That doesn't include all the trips to the Twin Cities, Black Hills, Omaha, St Louis, Kansas City, etc... that are all just short 5 hour or less drives from wherever I was living at the time.

Driving doesn't bother me.

If I can, I fly everywhere I can. I hate driving as I "rush" to get from point a to point b. Worse drive I did was in a car from Fargo to Panama City Beach and we did not stop for rest. Just food and gas. That damn near killed me but when we got there, I hoped in the private hot tub and then turned on the music and had a few drinks and partied for the next 8 days.

It's not that I wouldn't fly if given the chance. It's that I didn't take trips as a kid outside of the midwest. Seriously, I took 3 "vacations" as a kid - 2 to Omaha and 1 to the Twin Cities - both 4 hours from my house and all 3 were weekend trips. We didn't have the money for it.

The long trips I've taken as a young adult I didn't have the money for a plane ticket on top of the trip, I've always found driving cheaper and I enjoy seeing the county.

At some point I'll fly somewhere. I'd love to get to Europe at some point. My wife wants to take me to California to see her family out there. She also wants to get to Disneyland...or world...or Harry Potter world...or something.

I looked at flying to Fargo for this game, but from Cedar Rapids to Fargo, with 1 stop in MPLS or Chicago, it's 5-6 hours to get there, only 2-3 hours faster than driving. Cost is also $376, per Google Flights, without taxes or any other fees. I can get to Fargo and back in 2-2.5 tanks of gas and a couple of Monsters. So like $80.

On the flip side, my wife is going to Vegas for 5 days in like two weeks. CR has added a ton of flights, cheap, to Vegas, Charlotte, Orlando, Phoenix, Denver, etc... He round trip flight, before taxes/fees is $78. Basically she can fly to Vegas for the same price I can drive to Fargo and back.

From what I've read CID and FGO are fairly similar air ports, especially with all of the recent flight destination additions yet to get from one to the other is over $400.

I got a kick out of one flight from CR to Fargo. It's like $600, before taxes and like 2 days each way to get there. From CR to MPLS to Detroit to Chicago to MPLS to Fargo. The trip home is like Fargo to MPLS to Detroit to Atlanta to Chicago to CR.

A perfect example of why I won't fly unless it's a 2 day or more drive is a co-worker that went to a week long training in Wichita, KS. His flight down went:

CR to Chicago: 1 hour
Layover in Chicago: 2.5 hours
Chicago to Wichita: 2 hours
By the time he got an Uber to the hotel it took about 6-6.5 hours.

It's a 7 hour drive

His trip home? Some delays. It took him 23 hours to get back and he spent time in Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago. He was almost routed from Chicago to Detroit before Cedar Rapids on his last flight.

Could have driven home, back to Wichita, and back home in that time.

The airport design of CID is nice and enlongated. It reminds me somewhat of Bozeman due to how it is built, but I flew one time to it from Fargo through Minneapolis for Thanksgiving and it felt nice. I got a free ticket due to those skymiles one builds up over the course of too many flights.

The flight I had been tracking sent me an alert that the price is expected to jump like 15% by tomorrow. Taking the price to about $415 before any taxes/fees.

Yeah, that's commonplace. See this video for evidence.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb9MzVOmueo&t=4s

That was directed at one of the best teams in FCS history, the 2013 Bison who would finish 15-0. K-State is probably a program more justified to be arrogant about their chances against a top FCS team than ECU is but you can see he takes several shot at the FCS and compares it to peewee league titles.

You don't if you're Iowa State

07 - loss to UNI
08 - beat SDSU - first year full D1
09 - beat NDSU
10 - beat UNI (only game that wasn't close in score...UNI still outgained ISU by like 125 yards. 2 pick 6s cost UNI badly)
11- beat UNI by 1 on a TD catch that was inbound by about 1/2 inch with 19 seconds left
12 - beat WIU
13 - loss to UNI
14 - loss to NDSU
15 - beat UNI
16 - loss to UNI

Basically they only play UNI and the Dakotas, but it's not working to well for them recently. They might beat UNI this year, depending on our QB situation, but that game is a 50/50 split. They would get crushed by NDSU and SDSU this year.

Lost 3 of last 4. Just 6-4 over the last decade.

That's not good for a B12 school.

You know the extreme rare exception to Iowa State fans when it comes to their bravado though.

Yes, they care about MBB more, but they act like their FB program is as good as their BB program.

I was wrong. They are 8-2, but they barely got by in one of those games.

Iowa State has probably lost to FCS more recently than any FBS school, at least among the P5. At what point does one get humbled?

Iowa State must have the dumbest fan base in college football. On the field, they are a major version of us, completely hopeless and will never win to a significant degree but even most of us down here in the Ozarks are smart enough to just avoid the games, knowing our team will almost always lose. Those numbnuts buy season tickets and 50,000+ waste their money to watch their team get snowed under 6-7 times a year.

Both sides of my family are from the exact same region/city/metro in Northern Germany. Both sides came in within like 3 years of each other in the 1860s. Both sides went straight to southwestern Wisconsin. My dads side went from there to the SW Minnesota area (Worthington, Adrian, Lismore, Luvurne). My mothers side went to the Amana Colonies and from there a group left and settled just outside of Cedar Falls and and another group went to NW Iowa where they bought a farm in like 1880 and my family still owns/lives there. Well, I didn't grow up on it but my uncle lives there.

I've never been to Mississippi.
No family that I know of has ever lived in Mississippi (Texas is as close as that gets. Had a cousin row for the Texas Longhorns. She now does ultramarathons)

I think that's fairly believable if it only includes those who don't already have season tickets (which maybe it does). My group would get at least 4 more season tickets if we could (we've requested more every year for the last 4 or so and been denied). I know there's also a lot of people who don't bother requesting tickets since they're convinced they're not going to get them and can't handle rejection or something.

That said us Bison fans do have a tendency to overexaggerate (audible *gasp* from the crowd). My conservative estimate would be they could add ~5k more season tickets this year if the availability was there. I highly doubt we'd fill a 30k seat stadium with regularity as I've heard some fans allude to but ~25k with regularity up to 30k for the big games would be realistic IMO.

We would probably add more too for my expanding family....havent even tried to request them the last two years, and we are already grandfathered in with 9 on one account. If anything, my bro-in-law would split off or my in-laws in general if they had a shot. Then we could probably get more.

This logo is almost impossible to find as a stand alone. AAMoF, I've only seen one - the one I use. It's 300x300 and not saved/uploaded in a real high quality so color replacing and messing with it is difficult as all of the colors have started blending together. If they'd have saved it as a png from the start the colors wouldn't blend and it would be easier to work with.

I'm working on making it better and universal to other school colors

I have given more to NDSU Teammakers in 1 year than you ever have in your lifetime (considering you JUST joined last year.) Yet because I'm younger and NDSU went on a tear during the time I was in school, I wasn't able to get season tickets.

I have a legitimate gripe here - you've given less but you had those tickets forever. So you can say crybaby teammakers all you want, but I've helped the athletics moreso since you just paid minimum for your tickets.

And I still don't have season tickets. At the rate I'm going I'm 5 years away if I keep my donation levels the same, but I figure I will have to increase them just to have a chance at the single game tickets they allow TMers to have.

People will bail the second there is a couple seasons where the Bison, heaven forbid, don't win a natty or miss the playoffs. You will get in eventually. I've had this debate with people on BV that wanted to chase off existing season ticket holders in lieu of demand. The point of my "crybaby teammakers" rant has a lot more to do with that versus your situation.

I'm not a NDSU alum....my collegiate donations would go about a hour west where my wife and I graduated....I consider my "teammakers donation" as a fee/cost for my tickets. The second it gets above threshold I'm willing to pay, I'm out.

I would personally take 3-4 more if I could. I know many others that quit trying to get them. I agree with that 5K number and it probably could be higher.

Speaking of Amana, I just bought a sixer of Millstream Oktoberfest, some real good stuff. Not as good as Schell's Oktoberfest though.

That is heretical. Their beer is infused with meth and one of the few reasons why I travel to Iowa on a semi-frequent basis.

Isn't that how the first string plays? :) Even when the Bison should have been in hurry-up mode, Easton never signaled for a snap with more than a couple of seconds on the play clock. He also almost blew 2 games due to his lack on time awareness. See Iowa for an example. If Coack K didnt call a T.O. NDSU loses that game.

I love Millstream and Clenz knows my love for their Oktoberfest. I could sit down with a 6 pack and the world could be burning around me and all would still be alright.

Hey Clenz, can you pick me up a 6 pack or 2 down in Cedar Falls/Amana area and I will pay you once I see you at the Fargodome? You would be doing me a huge favor.

I'll even pay for the shipping and handling? xlolx

I was surprised, it was only like $8 for a sixer at Hy-Vee liquor here in Watertown. I'm not sure if any other liquor store carries Millstream up here.

That was as more on Klieman/Polasek than Stick IMO. He wouldn't have been trying to run a play there had a coach not been in his ear telling him to and there just wasn't enough time in that situation.

Clock management is still one of Klieman's weaknesses as a head coach. Part of it I think is he's always so conservative, especially at the end of the 1st half, that he doesn't get much practice with it.

Maybe he should do his own 2 minute drills on NCAA Football on Xbox in the offseason. xlolx

EDIT: I do put the blame on Stick at the end of the 1st half of the SDSU playoff game. He needs to have more awareness there and not try to check out of the play (especially to a run up the muddle). That's really the only time to this point that I can recall where he really messed up clock management though.

Fan/alum/school apathy is the biggest problem down there I think. MVSU funds their atheltic department at a D2 level at best. You can claim their teams need to win something for the fans to care but if they don't invest in the product they shouldn't be disappointed when it's garbage. They don't belong in D1 right now.

Nope, Kingpin rolls pretty good, now he might be stealing from his mom but he shows up at party time heavy. Cut him some slack.

I do not have time for the Bison Ridge or Black Velvet crap. Give me something decent and all will be alright.

I dunno, KP always brings decent whiskey to the deal. WB, you got tickets to the game??

Decent whiskey = top shelf???? JK xdrunkyx No, I was only able to snag one ticket this year (homecoming) so I am forced to scrounge for each game. If you got any spares this year, I will happily fill a seat.

My drink of choice this year has either been Balvenie 12 year Doublewood if I just want something to sip on or some Basil Hayden's mixed with a bit of ginger ale if it is hot out and I want to drink for awhile.

The Bison are 3-0 against the Southwestern Athletic Conference including a 66-7 home win over Prairie View A&M in 2012. Mississippi Valley State is 0-2 against the Missouri Valley Football Conference with a 1999 loss to Western Illinois and a 2014 loss to Illinois State. SWAC teams are 1-15 against the MVFC with Southern University claiming the only win against Missouri State in 1987.

This is the 86th season opener played at home, where the Bison haven't lost a season opener since 1998 against Emporia State. Mississippi Valley State is the 55th opponent to open a Bison football season.

BISON RETURN 16 STARTERS: North Dakota State returns nine starters on defense and seven on offense from last year's NCAA semifinal team that finished 12-2 and won a sixth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference championship with a 7-1 league record. Included is linebacker Nick DeLuca (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7395), a two-time nominee for the Butkus Award, who returns for a fifth season after being limited to three games last year with a shoulder injury.

MENARD OUT: Two-time All-America defensive end Greg Menard (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7430) will miss the 2017 season with a knee injury suffered during the opening week of fall camp. Menard, who made his debut at Weber State in the second game of his true freshman year 2014, is eligible to return to the Bison for a fifth season in 2018.

BOUNCING BACK: North Dakota State has won the next game after its last 13 losses, including road wins at Western Illinois (2016), Indiana State (2015), Missouri State (2014), South Dakota (2012), Western Illinois (2011) and Youngstown State (2010). NDSU has not suffered consecutive losses since a five-game losing streak in 2009.

SIX STRAIGHT CONFERENCE TITLES: North Dakota State won a share of its sixth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference championship last season, tying South Dakota State with a 7-1 record in league play. NDSU won outright MVFC titles in 2012 and 2013. The Bison shared the 2011 title with Northern Iowa and the 2014 and 2015 crowns with Illinois State. North Dakota State has won 33 football conference championships including 26 in the North Central Conference (last in 1994) and one in the Great West Football Conference (2006).

BISON PICKED TO WIN VALLEY FOOTBALL TITLE: North Dakota State was picked to win the Missouri Valley Football Conference by a single vote over second-place South Dakota State. NDSU earned 21 of 40 first-place votes and had 380 points followed by SDSU with 19 first-place votes and 379 points. Youngstown State, national finalist a year ago, was picked third ahead of Northern Iowa, Illinois State, Western Illinois, South Dakota, Southern Illinois, Missouri State and Indiana State.

SEVEN ON PRESEASON TEAM: Junior running back Lance Dunn (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7398), senior long snapper James Fisher (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7402), senior defensive end Greg Menard (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7430), senior defensive tackle Nate Tanguay (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7453), senior linebacker Nick DeLuca (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7395), senior safety Tre Dempsey (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7396), and junior safety Robbie Grimsley (http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7406) were voted to the Missouri Valley Football Conference preseason team by the league's coaches, sports information directors and media.

RANKED OPPONENTS: North Dakota State is No. 2 in the STATS FCS Top 25 and FCS Coaches Poll and six of NDSU's 11 opponents are ranked in the preseason polls. The Bison played 10 nationally ranked foes last year with an 8-2 record in those games.

A WINNING TRADITION: North Dakota State has played an even 1,100 games with a 696-370-34 record in 120 seasons of football, good for a .648 winning percentage. Over the past six seasons, NDSU's 83 victories are more than any other team in Division I football ahead of Alabama (76), Clemson (70), Florida State (68), Sam Houston State (68) and Ohio State (67).

BISON AT HOME: North Dakota State is 55-6 at home since 2010. The Bison have won 54 of the last 56 home games over non-conference opponents including a string of 45 straight before last year's NCAA semifinal loss to James Madison.

North Dakota State ranked fifth in the FCS last year with an average home attendance of 18,556 and has drawn 18,000-plus to 47 straight home contests.

I can always go for Redemption or Buffalo Trace. Both are some solid go-to's on rougher days.

Score prediction: NDSU 175 - MVSU 1

The game gets so out of hand that CFL scoring is adopted on a conditional basis.

I love Millstream and Clenz knows my love for their Oktoberfest. I could sit down with a 6 pack and the world could be burning around me and all would still be alright.

Hey Clenz, can you pick me up a 6 pack or 2 down in Cedar Falls/Amana area and I will pay you once I see you at the Fargodome? You would be doing me a huge favor.

I'll even pay for the shipping and handling? xlolx
