Truth be told....I would MUCH rather have the bye week later...either before or during the conf schedule.

[Southern Bison]

Great job by UNA over SUU to get their 1st FCS win...but they'll get their indoctrination into top-tier FCS football as their coach wanted when the game was scheduled.

:D OK, actually, with the UNA win, I am looking forward to this game, it might be more competitive than the CP game. Teams that roll into Fargo with a "run" oriented, one dimensional offense should just stay on the bus. It ain't gonna work. UNA better be able to throw the ball but it looks like they can sling it around pretty good.

[Gil Dobie]

Alabama St (North Alabama), might be the Bison toughest non-conference game this year.

[TheKingpin28]

This bye at week 2 is a joke and frustrating for guys who will need a week off cone gauntlet season.

Oh and I am setting the over/under for amount of people pissed off at the bye that is masking itself as an FCS opponent but is really an FBS juggernaut at 50 with the temperature being 85F with a humidity of 75% and a dew point of 62.

This game should be nothing less than a Win for NDSU and nothing less than the perfect learning experience for NBama. Good for both programs.

No one likes the early bye, but it's a nice break from driving the Twin Cities to Fargo 4 times in September.

There are holes with NDSU, the receiving core is somewhat weak, but it always seems to be the weak link to a certain extent and I think teams can throw the ball against NDSU. I really have no idea how bad CP is but we have 4 RB's that would probably start at most FCS schools.

[TheKingpin28]

No, it's not bad, but 4 times in a month, and my yard work gets backed up.I do that stuff after work and look forward to the weekends that are Bison football. Plus it gives me a reason to get to my cabin to drink beer and pretend to fish when I just have the boat on the water with no rod in sight.

This will certainly be a W for you but there will be some serious athletes on the UNA team (remember they are in transition). We had our experience with them a few years ago and were lucky to escape with the W. But then again, McNeese is not North Dakota State.

UNA version of the spread moved the ball on SUU and they played a good game.

More than likely it will be a better game compared to Cal Poly but their front 7 on defense better get ready for some hard nose running.

Not one problem at all. But I have seen semis purposefully go 63ish for miles to piss everyone off behind them. That is what grinds my gears.

We need a third lane like Florida, where semi's are not allowed. Still see them in the third lane, but usually for quick passing.

Alabama St (North Alabama), might be the Bison toughest non-conference game this year.

Alabama State University Hornets are ok by they are not the University of North Alabama Lions. New to FCS so don't have much to gauge by but I hope we do turn out to be your toughest non conference game.

We weren't too shabby in D2. Lost to NDSU in D2 championship in 1985 (remember it fairly well). Won it in '93, '94, and '95. Lost it 2015. Now we are FCS with new challenges and opportunities. Took long enough to get here and I'm pretty excited about it. Looking forward to Sept 15 but first a trip to Huntsville, AL to renew an old rivalry from 21 years ago. Dang, I could be getting old!

You are a little older than me. I was a freshman in 1986 and took a bus down to Florence for the D-II championship game.

[Gil Dobie]

NDSU was 8-3 and finished #23 in the AGS poll in 2004, first year of FCS. 3rd place in the Great West Conference. Cal Poly won the conference.

Looking back, the Fargodome had 18,655 people watching the first game against Valpo. By the end of the seaons, 4112 people watched them beat Weber St. Took a few years before they made the playoffs. Of course there was a NCAA 5 year transition at the time. It was well worth the move. UNA should fit in great with FCS.

[Mike296]

I’m actually excited for this game, UNA just coming up and they get a taste of top tier competition in FCS play. Good game for both sides. Hoping UNA plays well against NDSU. I’m going to give NDSU the win but I think UNA is going to play this game close.

Possibly. However, there will be several players on the field for UNA that have yet to play due to injury. One will be our best running back. Another will be a 6-4 wide receiver who is very "Julio Jones"-ish. He was a four star recruit out of Mississippi. He chose Southern Miss over Mississippi State, Ole Miss and several others. Southern Miss had a coaching change and he didn't want to play for the new staff. With Morris on one side and 6-4 redshirt freshman phenom Dexter Boykin who caught 8 passes for 135 yards and fellow redshirt freshman Jakobi Byrd had six catches for 95 yards, the Lions offense looks potent.

If the somewhat shaky UNA offensive line gels, jr QB Christian Lopez who was 23 of 43 passing for 350 yards and 3 touchdowns and over 500 yards of total offense could give the Bison defense some problems.

[kperk014]

After watching what NDSU has created, a lot of us have had a goal of someday having a home and home series with the Bison. You wouldn't recognize Florence. It has undergone a major revitalization in the past five years! Oh that Muscle Shoals Sound is still here but there's a LOT more entertainment than 1985 or '86. Downtown has transformed into a smaller version of downtown Nashville with many of the same musicians and entertainers and yes, ALCOHOL IS SERVED NOW.

In some of the businesses I've been in, I've seen a steady inflow of people from the frozen north coming for vacation or to live here. We may not be Florida but we are close enough to take a visit there but far enough away to have a ridiculously low cost of living compared to the Gulf Coast. Take a look at the video....

SWIFT transportation is a trucking company that is notorious for hiring anybody with a pulse (and sometimes not) to drive their trucks. Let's just say they are not well thought of by over the road truck drivers..... I won't derail the thread anymore but for some laughs Google Swift truck memes.....

I think the loudest I have every heard it was during one of the GSU games and one time when we had a very strange call go against us in a game against UNI. It was a weird sensation both times.

:D You could have heard a mouse fart in the Cal Poly game, but if your guys show up and bring it and the game is close it can get pretty loud but I think that place has gotten quieter over the years, the students aren't as interested and that seem to be a trend all over.

We need another 4th and 3/Goal with a trip to Frisco on the line to get the Fargodome back to where it needs to be.

[Professor Chaos]

Klieman isn't happy about the early bye week either.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I wonder if there was any conversation between UNI and NDSU to move their game up to 9/8? Or maybe that's against MVFC by-laws to play conference games that early but I'd have to think both teams would prefer to have a bye on 10/6 (week 6) as compared to week 2. It looks like that 10/6 game is "Band Day" (whatever that is) but it doesn't seem like it would've been much strain on either team to shuffle the game up a month.

It's happening all over the NCAA. SDSU is kind of quieter as well even with the new stadium, it's never been Fargo level of noise but CAS got rocking in a big game like USD or NDSU. It's easier for people to just watch the games on TV or online, or just watch the highlights afterwards.

UNA was also having declining attendance (usually in the TOP 5 of D2) and I think it was one of the reasons for jumping on the ASUN/Big South invite when they did. Hoping new opponents helps change that trend. But, I'm not sure it will for the reasons you gave.

I've seen new opponents at SDSU brings smaller crowds sometimes in our OOC games. Drake drew decently since they're only a state away but teams like Robert Morris, Duquense and even in 2014 when we played D3 Wisconsin-Oshkosh, the games aren't that well attended. It happened in the playoffs, in 2012 Eastern Illinois was a pathetic crowd despite it being our first home playoff game ever. Villanova in 2016 was low numbers and so was New Hampshire last year. UNI brought a good crowd but that's a conference foe and closer team. Some had to do with weather but that didn't prevent fans from pouring in for USD in 2014.
Basketball has gone down as well over the years, Frost Arena used to be amazing but now it's meh.

There was a few times the crowd was ready to blow the top off the place I think before JMU silenced us. The main one was the 3rd and long bomb TD that gave JMU the 10 point late in the game.

Honestly, as a fan that game felt a lot like the Georgia Southern 2012 semi-final did... the Bison were kind of getting pushed around in both games but the difference was in 2012 the home team made the plays to win it at the end instead of the road team. I still remember thinking at the end of that GSU game in 2012 "How the **** did they win that game???" Probably would've felt the same way had NDSU figured out how to beat JMU in that game 2 years ago.

Thought the top DID come off when you guys thought you had the sack that was negated by the JMU time out. That was just before our kicker hit his career-long 46 yarder to give us the lead (prior to that kick his long was 33...). Houston was pissed because Schor got leveled, but NOBODY could hear the whistle -- even ESPN's broadcast equipment didn't pick it up.

Oh, I was pissed about that too. I remember going back and looking at the replay and the shotgun snap was almost to Schor's hands before the sideline official made any sort of movement indicating that he was acknowledging a timeout. IIRC there was also a lined up offsides call sprinkled in there that I thought was very questionable from that same official. Gah… bad memories! :)

Regardless, the team that deserved to win that game did.

IMO, this OL is better but we'll have to see how the rest of the season plays out.

I bet the Bison could run the ball every play tomorrow if they wanted to. But give Delaware and SDSU something more to scheme for....:)

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Just watched highlights of Alabama A & M and North Alabama from last week.

NDSU's OL will dominate the front 7 of UNA. If they blitz a lot they will give huge chunks of yards to Anderson/Dunn/Brooks.

A & M was bad.

NDSU dominates UNA.

[deez_na]

Late reply but I saw somebody mention a Julio Jonesish from North Alabama, Mayville State has a kid that's 6'-5", 210lb WR. He has 33 receptions for 452 yards and 7 TD's through 3 games. He needs to transfer but I imagine it's a grades issue.

Yeah. For pretty much every position you can already go around and pencil in who will likely be the starters for 2019 and that team is looking pretty damn good, and that is without knowing how much improvement those guys will have in 2018 or breakout surprises. QB will obviously be the big one to watch. Lance vs Hotchkiss... good times!! WR a bit unknown...but talent there for once!

We just happen to have a potential all-time team to watch this year. We shall see if it materializes on the field.

[POD Knows]

Now, now...I feel the same way about if we ever play Incarnate Word but they earned it. We will do our best against NDSU. Like you folks, it's not in our DNA to just lay down and roll over. Don't think you would want it to be any other way.
Actually I expect decent game. My post is sort of inside joke. I expect a decent game. I picked
NDSU but I think it will be a good game I didn’t mean any disrespect in my post. I expect the Bison to beat everyone by 70.

No disrespect taken...all in fun. Looking forward to the game. Will be streaming it through ESPN+ here in Bama with the kids and grands. Figure to grill some burgers while watching the game. Looking forward to this game against a great program.

NDSU: 52-6


I'm still calling this score for tomorrow. Coach K will not run up the score.

UNA has some good athletes but NDSU way overmatches them on both lines.

Hopefully no injuries for both teams.

[Bisonoline]

They are close to Muscle Shoals and the Swampmen - they can probably handle the country artists pretty well.

[cx500d]

I think its going to be a lot closer...No more than a 14 point spread.

If Sam Phillips, Rick Hall and Jerry Wexler hadn't died, we could at least scare the hell outta you. They were some spooky dudes. 75 year old Spooner Oldham could whip a fair-sized man with his ears alone while playing the organ.

Seriously, I'm glad UNA made the move. They have the support and history to become a factor down south in a short time. I think they will be a top 20 team within the next few years on a consistent basis. They will certainly get an idea as to what progress they need to make to contend. Good luck to UNA on your move.
Oh...NDSU 45 UNA 13

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

GameDay for the Bison!!


UNA is going to have trouble with NDSU's power running game coming right at them. Bad match up for UNA in this game. NDSU's front 7 will shut down that offense.

UNA will be fine in the FCS especially in their new conference. Kennesaw and UNA will battle it out for the top position most years IMO. Today they get a nice welcome to the FCS...:D

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I like UNA's head coach:

[The Kicker]

I like the way UNA is playing and is a strong program. Like they are playing NDSU. I remember the confidence NDSU fans had after their first few years in FCS and sure enough that program turned into a monster. I think UNA has a bright future ahead of them. I could see them cracking the top 20 this year even. To bad we have to wait 5 years to see them in the playoffs. Will be interesting to see how they hold up vs NDSU. I think they will be in this game well into the 3rd Q. In the end NDSU will pull away but I'm calling a score of 35-17 with it being 14-10 at the half.

Happy Gameday!

My prediction
NDSU 52
UNA 10

Kudos to UNAfor taking on the challenge of coming to Fargo. Good luck to the Lions the rest of the season and in their transition into the FCS.

It's going to be hard for UNA to get in the top 25 after today.....5 d2 games will hinder that and not to mention the uncertainty of rescheduling another FCS or FBS game to replace Insecure Word. But thanks for the vote of confidence.

http://inforum.com/sports/football/4499807-one-one-north-alabama-head-coach-chris-willis

I agree. He says all the right things on building a program and I think UNA will be very successful in the FCS. Just not today.

Depends on how UNA plays today. If it's a good game it will open a lot of eyes. Finish with 8 or more wins and you will see some votes even with a lot of D2 games.

I live in one of the suburbs, Shoreciew, north of St Paul. We have a wildlife area across from us (background of photo) and a small lake in our backyard.

We get plenty of deer, osprey, bald eagles, turkeys and we even get to hear the coyotes howling at night.

Go Bison!

Can hear a pin drop in the dome on both sides of the ball. UNA is in this game other than gift wrapping the ball at the 3 yd line. Like I said this team can play. Let's see how long they can make a game out of this.

[Professor]

North Alabama seems to be playing better than they did last week against Alabama A&M

[POD Knows]

Terrible PI call on UNA
NDSU better pull their heads out.
