Quarterfinal: #1-North Dakota State vs. #8-Colgate

[Drblankstare]

What no 20 minute review?

[Mattymc727]

That might be the worst call I’ve ever seen

[gsf23nd]

Better review that....that might of been a completed pass.

[Pards Rule]

HUGEEEEEEEEE break for Gate. I didnt think interference

[GoBlueHens83]

Terrible call.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Bull**** call these refs need to be fired at halftime that's 3 major calls and they ****ed NDSU on 2 of them

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Breneman's arm does not look right. No zip on the ball....

[Bisonwinagn]

So they always do give up run plays on 3rd and long?

Why the **** would they turn the ball over when they can punt and play good defense????????????????????????

[BisonHype!]

What do ya do? Only thing you can is put these crappy calls behind you and get a stop. Refs better figure this crap out. Some obvious calls being screwed up

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Puzzi is a helluva FG kicker but I think this is 4 down territory

[gsf23nd]

I don't understand. I thought NDSU pays off the officials before every playoff game...or at least that is what I've been told..

[Pards Rule]

Agreed. I am glad it isn't just Bison fans seeing it that way.

Dewey
Definitely not...bad call..Kinda like the PI call against us here that led to NDSU 2nd TD

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Colgate just can't execute the passing game well enough. My goodness....

[dewey]

Big drop and bad pass on 4th down.

Dewey

[Bison56]

I've been waiting for that wheel route

[Pards Rule]

Dude was wide open! He drops it...Gate turns over on downs

[CappinHard]

What a crucial error. You HAVE to catch that. NDSU is going to score a TD here.

[Drblankstare]

Colgate is run stunting like crazy, just play action

[JimmyJack]

NDSU needs to expand their playbook a little. Like they just did.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Colgate's defense is really good. They're making NDSU work for everything.

[dewey]

Big throw by Stick and catch by true Freshman Phoenix Sproles.

Dewey

[Bison56]

Throw it he was open

[Lorne_Malvo]

NDSU needs to open up the playbook a little. Pretty vanilla so far. Colgate D is doing a good job against the run.

[Bison56]

Breaking ankles

[dewey]

Big sack by Wheeler.

Dewey

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That failed 4th down conversion was the game.

[dewey]

Big run after the catch by Freeman.

1st down by Anderson to the 5.

Dewey

[JimmyJack]

The reality of all of this is, despite NDSU's unremarkable offense, they don't need to do much. Their defense is that good. Is anyone imagining Colgate scoring more than 14 points today?

[dewey]

The Colgate defense has been very impressive since the opening drive.

Dewey

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The Red Zone monster!!

[Bison56]

Wow he was wiiiiiidddddeeee open. TD Bison!

No but all it takes is a few bad defensive plays and Colgate could score.

Dewey

[TheValleyRaider]

Play-action in close completes a tough drive, Bison extend the lead

14-0 NDSU

[dewey]

Huge call on the play action. Wide open.

Dewey

[Pards Rule]

Dude couldnt be any more open!! OMG!! TD NDSU 14-0

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Colgate doesn't have the passing attack to win a game like this year. Shame because the defense is legit.

[Redfield10]

Should be at least 21-0 and more likely 28-0 with that bs fair catch call. But the Bison are all about the second half. LOL.

[dewey]

I guess. But Colgate doesn't strike me as having a particularly explosive offense. One more TD today would probably be enough for NDSU.

[JimmyJack]

Against the Bison, your only option is to stop the run and hope Stick can't beat you with his arm. Generally, he can. When they have lost (to SDSU, for example) he makes mistakes. If you don't sell out to stop the run, you will lose every time to NDSU.

[semobison]

Colgate has played pretty good D since the first drive but Bison 14 points may already be enough.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Huge first down!

Colgate can't make a mistake here!

[dewey]

Big sack by Tuszka!

Dewey

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate drive stopped, Bison content to run out the clock. NDSU starts the 2nd half with the ball

Colgate 0
North Dakota State 14
Halftime

[Pards Rule]

Half will be 14-0 NDSU

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Game has a similar feel to Lehigh's trip to the Fargo Dome in 2011. 'Gate hanging in physically but the offense has to do something...

[JimmyJack]

I think Colgate's only chance is if their coaches swap out those dopey-looking short-sleeved hoodies at halftime in favor of some actual athletic gear.

[Thumper 76]

Not sure I’d call it unremarkable. They’re pretty damn high up there for offensive rankings. Just because our defense has their number doesn’t mean they’re pedestrian.

Your absolutely correct, you have to make Stick beat you. It’s dicey, but your other option is death by a thousand cuts from the run game

[TheValleyRaider]

Defense has settled in after that first drive. Very physical game when NDSU has the ball, though that's going to wear us down if the offense can't find a few first downs. A few bad throws and drops have killed them so far, not taking advantage of the shorter-yardage situations.

Potential for a big swing if the defense can come up with a stop, and if the offense finds a way to punch in their first drive. If...if...if...

I probably should have qualified it: Unremarkable today. They haven't opened up the playbook much. No doubt, they can score a lot of points.

[Professor Chaos]

Oh good grief. :pumpuke: This may be the year NDSU is beaten. It will all be because of officiating. xlolx Please remember Bear told you. They're pathetic. B1G whatever castoffs, rejects. I regularily attend high school football games and they are about the same level in experience and ability to make calls. I'm sorry Bison fans. This may be out of your hands if there is a close call or moment where momentum should swing your way. Geez. NDSU is getting punished with that crew. xlolx

Wait until they spend 15 minutes replaying a possible line to gain first down on a second down play. They stand there looking at each other confused as frick. It's hilarious.
This guy wasn't joking about Southland referees...

Ah. Yeah, that makes sense. If the Gate offense can’t score I’m expecting their defense to get wore out pretty badly.

Refs and Colgate’s D keeping them in it. 92 for colgate can play. He had a great game against JMU. They move to the ball quick and can tackle in space. If this gets to a three possession lead by Bison, you can turn the lights off. Colgate needs a stop in the first drive.

[Schism55]

The refs last night were an abortive disaster.....these are somehow just as bad?? And of course there will be zero accountability for it xsmhx

Go over to Bisonville, sign up and ask them.




J/k dont do that....

[JimmyJack]

Your absolutely correct, you have to make Stick beat you. It’s dicey, but your other option is death by a thousand cuts from the run game

Of course you can stop the run and cover everybody... then Stick takes off and runs.

[Bisonator]

Colgate's defense is good but we are only doing enough offensively to win the game. Need to throw more on 1st and 2nd down and stop getting into 3rd and long situations. Seems Colgate is making lots of mistakes in coverage especially against our TE's and backs. I doubt we open it up much more though since Klieman is usually content to score just enough to win.

Offensively Colgate is going to have to throw the ball to open up the run a bit. Not sure they can do either effectively enough to score 1 TD much less 2 at this point.

[Pards Rule]

Could care less about Heisman winner!

I agree. The Colgate offense is not very good...at least in the first half anyways. The Colgate defense could get worn down in the 2nd half if the offense can't do anything.

They are a very well coached team.

[dewey]

There are now 8 different Bison receivers with receptions today already.

Very balanced so far.

It is nice to see Seth Wilson getting some reps today plus being able to redshirt this year.

Dewey

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

This game shows how bad DiNucci was last week. Colgate's pass defense really wasn't tested all season. When it was you could tell it could be had. Lehigh has athletic WR's and were able to separate. Lehigh just couldn't execute. NDSU's execution is top notch....

[dewey]

What happened to Dunn?

They just said Dunn is out with an elbow injury.

Tough day in the dome. Bison defense was tough, as expected. Tackled extremely well, never really let guys break big plays on offense. Defense played well for a while, but just too much on the other end. Difficult way to end the season, but nothing to be ashamed of. A great team and a great season.

Stick brings a lot of athleticism and versatility that creative OCs in the NFL love these days.

Good push by the OL
Hats off to the Bison defense. Proved they are the best unit in the FCS. Only gave up 157 total yards.
Good balance on offense: 238 rushing and 205 passing
It was fun ribbing #21 on the Colgate defense. He came off the field numerous times swearing and in a tizzy....then started chirping at us fans....xlolx
Nice effort by Colgate but they were never in the game.

I was in Chicago today, so I couldn't watch too much of today's games (going to watch replays when I get home tonight), but we had lunch at Miller's Pub and they've got plenty of TVs. Had the Bison on in three different directions from where I was sitting.

An absolute pleasure to meet you and all of the NDSU fans. Folks couldn't have been nicer & more welcoming, we had a great time in all the tents! We also stayed next door at the Candlewood Suites and got a chance to meet some of the team parents who also were great. Ended Saturday night drinking scotch with Stick's dad!

Proud of the season the Red Raiders put up, ran into a better team yesterday. Good luck the rest of the way, Bizon... having been there & met you folks I'll be pulling for you!

PS, what's the name of the Norwegian nail game again? Think I'll bring that back to the East Coast!

I wasn't there, but are you thinking Hammerschlagen

And yes as others noted, Hammerschlagen is the game we were playing.

This was halloween after a day/night of drinking and a few too many rounds of hammerschlagen.

Too much Bison for us today. Good experience for our kids who fought their hearts out. Good luck to NDSU going forward.

Been away for a couple days.

Colgate lost to a great and classy team, but it was an outstanding season for the Red Raiders. Congratulations and best of luck to North Dakota State in the Final Four - hope you fellows win it all again!

You guys are a well coached team. Too bad your offense couldnt help your defense out. Youve got some players on D and a few on the O-line that are pretty spunky.

Well I was there Labor Day weekend 2011 for Lafayette-NDSU and there was this cornhole game that I soon saw on the Jersey shore soon enough. Describe this other game please Kingpin...Some Bison folks are planning a visit to me at the Jersey Shore prior to Delaware game and maybe we can do an Eagles game at Linc too if they are there.

Beanbags must hit the board and cannot bounce up on them. The goal is to get to 21 before your opponent(s) (team) does. If you bust you go back down to 11 or 15 (depending on whose rules you use).

-Take turns alternating who throws first and second.
-Bags should be 6in x 6in and weighing between 15.5 to 16.5oz
-Platform is 2 feet wide by 4 feet long with a 6 inch hole centered in the board about 9 inches from the top of the board.
-The angle should be 1ft. What I mean by that is that the top of the board to the ground should be a 1ft gap.
-Boards should be 33ft apart or 27ft from the front of each board.
-You must stand behind the front of the platform when throwing. You can throw however you want but most do underhand.
-You get 4 bags to throw during your turn.
-You cancel your opponents throws if you both have bags in the same spot.
----Example: Red has 2 in hole and 2 on board and Blue has 1 in hole and 2 on board. Red would score 3 points as they have an extra in the hole.
-----Example: Red has 3 in hole and 1 on board and Blue has 2 in hole and 2 on board. Red would score 2 points as 10 total points minus 8 total points equals 2 total points.

These were rules I grew up with and are taken from American Cornhole League. (Yes it is a sport according to them). It is encouraged you decorate your boards to personalize them and make them original, so making them Bison boards would work. xlolx

That's the 2nd most watched FCS playoff game of the last 5 years (or maybe longer - don't have numbers from before then) trailing only the NDSU/SDSU quarterfinal in 2016. Not too shabby for a network that has lost millions of subscribers in that time span.

I think he knows cornhole because its all over... I think when he said "this other game" he meant hammerschlagen.

If thats the case, grab a log, find a 3-4in nail, goal is to hit the nail into the log. If you hit the nail, you tell someone to drink, if you miss, you drink. Should you finish the nail, yell Hammerschlagen and choose someone to finish their drink or pour a trash drink (multiple different beers/shots) and someone drinks it.

I don't even remember putting that on. I guess, according to my roommate, I grabbed a full Red Sox outfit and went from there.

Crapsville Bar is Open (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?219428-2018-Crappsville-Bar)

Owls, Aggies, Wildcats and Raiders are welcome ...


For you younguns, the Crappsville Bar and Grill was a fine AGS tradition where the playoff losers would console themselves with a round or two.

Rules of Crappsville: if your team is one of the four left--- don't post! The curse of Cap'n Cat will be upon you!

This week, we have a barstool and plenty of room for the fans of Kennesaw State, UC Davis, Weber State and Colgate.

Come on through the door and drown your sorrows and tell us what you are drinking.xdrunkyx

I miss Hammerschlagen.

Of note, I believe the pards are still the only Patriot League team to score against NDSU.

Yes these are key points. Makes it more challenging especially after drinking for 4 hours. xlolx
