Semifinal: #5 South Dakota State @ #1 North Dakota State

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TC is going to remember this game for a loooong time..

[grizband]

I honestly don’t think I’ll go to another game to watch this hopeless cause of a “powerhouse”.
SDSU has always been this way, same damn thing every year dating back to the 60’s. Always been NDSU’s b**ch and always will be. Entz will pick up where Klieman left off and continue piss pounding SDSU.
I struggled with Montana's losses in the 2004 and 2009 title games. Both games the Griz had multiple TD leads, only to squander the games late. Yet, somehow they always rope me back in...

I guess I'm trying to say I empathize with you.

[ST_Lawson]

What game are you watching? Where is the sloppy play?

Most penalties against them all season, I think is what the announcers said.

Dude, you are South Dakota State. What did you expect? You should be happy that people know you exist.
When you’re program has poured tens of millions into your program, you expect success.

Season high penalty yards (tons of false starts)? kick out of bounds, missed xp.....

The same as everyone else...

[Vitojr130]

A semifinal appearance and 10-3 season is still a great success, considering 2 of those losses are to the #1 team...

At least Montana made it. SDSU made it to the D2 playoffs once and lost to Youngstown by 40. Our program tries to pretend we’re NDSU, it’s like Ole Miss pretending they’re Alabama. Or Iowa pretending they’re Ohio State.

Throwing money at something entitles you to nothing. Takes a lot more than. NDSU's culture is unmatched....

SDSU has a great FCS program. But they like everyone else can't compete with NDSU...

2nd straight piss pounding in the semifinals. 100000000th straight piss pounding by NDSU in the playoffs. You’d think we could finally beat them.

[Drblankstare]

Taryon Christion is such a good ball player. This league and level of football will be lesser without him.

[uni88]

Yep, for sure, its a fascinating topic. Hard to pin down how a college in North Dakota can pull this off. I honestly have no idea

Well first you have the benefit of talented coaching staffs and an athletic department that is devoted to the success of the football team. NDSU is a flagship university in a state with a smaller population. Flagships have inherent advantages over directional state universities and smaller private colleges. You may think that you don't have money or resources but at least you're not the red-headed step child in a state where the focus and resources go to the flagship(s).

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Congrats NDSU!

Another dominating performance! #7 is right around the corner!!

[grizband]

My selection of NDSU being the last team to score is taking a hit right now (Although I'm glad they aren't running it up).

I mentioned that in a previous post. NDSU has only had 3 losing seasons since the 60’s. I’m not saying we need 15 national titles, but at least 2-3 would’ve been nice. We went 44 years without a conference title, and people use the “ We’re a basketball school” excuse. Our MBB team hasn’t won a title since 1963, hadn’t made it since 1985.

I agree to an extent because my belief is the programs that really could end NDSU's run, as presently constructed, reside in the Ivy League. But lets not open that can of worms..

Princeton in my opinion was the 2nd or 3rd best FCS team this year. Maine got piss pounded by Yale and Princeton piss pounded Yale.
I wish they’d compete in the playoffs.

Just let it go. No reason to get emotionally invested in 18 year old kids playing a game that's outside your control and means nothing in any real sense. That's the way of madness.

Princeton was probably top 5, have to throw EWU and SDSU in the discussion as well.

I’m not even the worst of SDSU fans.
I always overreact when a team of mine loses, I’m a fan of the Dallas Cowboys for God’s sake, so I’m sick of seeing my teams lose.

[JacksFan40]

As far as I’m concerned the best football program in SD is the Sioux Falls Cougars. 4 national titles.

[Bisonator]

Congrats to the Jacks on a great season. They are the second best team in FCS in my opinion and it's a shame this couldn't have been played in Frisco.

So they'd have to travel thousands of miles to lose by 20+? That's just cruel.

[Bisonator]

That Strong kid is really good and will be tough to deal with the next 3 years.xthumbsupx

Now you all know why Bison fans say we'd never trade Easton Stick for TC. Kids a winner.xnodx

[Gil Dobie]

Keep your head up Jacks fans, you have one of the best programs in FCS. Just happened to be during a great Bison run. Keep the program improving and you may have a run of your own some day.

[nickp]

Excited to see Chris Klieman and NDSU again in January

[Bisonator]

Exactly. Would make it even sweeter!:D

[BisonBacker]

DIRTY PLAY by NDSU with no flag. Helmet to helmet targeting on SDSU qb...

BS it wasn't helmet to helmet. The kid put his shoulder into him.

[BisonBacker]

But clearly, Strong would only be fourth or fifth string on NDSU's team. According to a bunch of guys on Bisonville.

Truth hurts huh?

Hell of a game and tailgate. Hats off to SDSU. I was honestly nervous going into halftime. Not much beats playing your rival with the winner going to Frisco. Pierre Strong can straight up run the ball.

I love sports, I actually have a soft spot for teams/franchises that were great but never captured the ring. The Bills, The Vikings, The NBA when Jordan was playing, the 90’s Braves(yeah I know they got one, but cmon they should have had more) etc. Anyway, I group SDSU into this scenario. They are probably the only FCS program who rose to the occasion to challenge NDSU consistently

The team that loses to the Bison in the championship game has yet to be decided. But I suspect SDSU is a stronger team than either of the other two. It's all opinion anyway.

[POD Knows]

They should have, it would have completely crushed their soul.Absolutely, there was no freaking way SDSU was going to stop them on that 4th down play. No way.

[mango433]

It doesn’t matter who we play in the playoffs, we’ll still lose. We had shots with EWU in 2013, Montana in 2015, and JMU in 2017, and we s**t the bed in all 3. As long as we keep this coaching staff, we’ll never win anything.
Lets not forget the horror show that was 2009 against Montana. Stig should’ve been fired after that, that team had a shot at a title that year and ended up blowing a 27 point lead and lost by 13.
I hate SDSU, always end up the same in all sports. Chris Bono in Wrestling is the greatest coach in SDSU history regardless of sport, and it’s not even close. Took a piss poor program to the Top 15 in the nation.

Sleep it off dude. Good lord. Bono the greatest coach in SDSU history? He wasn’t even the best coach when he was at SDSU.

Look, Stig has completely changed this program. We were **** when we were D-2, now we have played in the semis in back-to-back years. No one thought that was possible when we moved up. Are any of us happy with how the season ended? Of course not. Our rise just happens to coincide with one of the greatest dynastys to ever exist in sports. This program has some momentum, we just need to get over the hump. It’ll happen some day, I truly believe it.


Congrats Bison on another trip to the ship. Make the MVCF proud in Frisco, I know you will.

NDSU, surprisingly, isn't even a top 15 in the FCS in regards to funding the football team.

NDSU simply brings a tradition of football excellence and a culture that supports it. We demand a lot from our team and in exchange we bring one of the best football experiences in the subdivision.

[JacksFan40]

We tried that in 2013 and 2017. Still didn’t make a difference. Heck in 2009 you guys didn’t even make the playoffs and we still lost.

When you’ve had nothing but success, you only continue to want success. That’s why 2008 and 2009 seemed like hell for NDSU.
SDSU has never had that drive for success.

If that was all it took programs like Nebraska and Montana would be relevant.

It takes a lot of things; mostly getting a good thing going and then giving it the time to thrive and the continuity to keep the wheels on the bus.

Nothing to hang your heads about SDSU, like I said earlier in the week you guys were running into a buzzsaw… a very good team in the wrong place at the wrong time. This NDSU team is supremely talented, disciplined, and they're on a mission. I was really impressed with the way the Jacks were able to run the ball... when it was fairly close towards the end of the first half and even after NDSU went up 21-7 early on the 2nd half I was legit worried because the Jacks seemed to be getting 5 or more yards at will running the ball.

That said, and I hate to pile on a guy who took hits that would make me curl up in the fetal position, but Christion sliding a yard shy of the first down on that reverse pass late in the 1st half was a turning point I think. SDSU needed to get points on that drive and to have your leader essentially give up trying to get a 1st down at that point in the game instead of going for it had to leave a bad taste in the mouth for the entire team going into halftime. They had a chance in the 1st half when NDSU's offense was sluggish but after the break the Bison came out guns blazin' and it was lights out from there.

Regardless though good game Jacks... you made the Fargodome PA hold off on "In you're gonna play in Texas" until 4 minutes left in the game... that's better than most teams who've came into the Fargodome have done. I doubt SDSU is going anywhere as long as they get a QB that can sling it enough to keep teams honest. They've got good lines on both sides of the ball and a couple stud RBs... both these teams will look a lot different next year but I have little doubt that both will still be national title contenders in 2019.

I don't agree at all. He pulled up hurt and then slid when he thought he had the first down. He clearly pulled up lame before the slide.

[Schism55]

1. Bison DB's played great
2. Bison DLine played very well
3. Bison OLine completely dominated, very impressive performance by the Rams. Blew holes open all game and Easton had plenty of time to throw each drop back.

Round of applause for the Jacks, program high watermark second year in a row. A lot to be proud of. Some impressive young guys on your squad. Not sad to see TC go xsmiley_wix

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

My 2 $:


Hats off to the Bison OL. They completely curb stomped the Jacks DL to the tune of 439 yards rushing. The false starts were puzzling and not the norm and a couple of them were head scratchers.

ES is a stud and was the difference today. He willed the Bison team to victory. It has been a pleasure watching him compete in the FD for 4 years.

Shout out to the Bison crowd. They brought their A-game last night. My voice was shot in the 1st quarter but well worth it.

Stick has now tied former Bison QB Brock Jensen with the most wins by a QB. He will pass him in Frisco.

Bison defense played a great game. Still wondering how Grimsley and Hendricks didn't come up with that deep ball....double coverage.....I guess it happens....xnodx

Strong will be a good one. Good fit for the Jacks running game.

To me it doesn't matter which team NDSU plays in the chipper. Maine will try to "out physical" the Bison and that will not work. EWU's spread is nothing the Bison haven't seen before....wash/rinse/repeat. The question for EWU is can they stop NDSU's power and match them physically. From what I have seen from EWU is that they are better but not there yet. Both games will be like this one in terms of score.

Thank you 24 seniors and Coach K. These seniors are on a mission and they could go down as the best group yet. Coach K is nothing but class. His post game presser was awesome. K State is getting a very good coach and even better person.

Looking forward to Coach Entz continuing the domination starting next year at Target Field.

For the Jacks. It doesn't get old beating them...:D. Take care of business in the regular season. Win in CF and you are in the other bracket and probably winning today for Frisco.

Looking forward to my 7th trip to Frisco.....xnodx

Couple question for SDSU fans. There was a rumor going around that Rozeboom was playing last night with a cracked rib. It was said this happened before last nights game. Also during the game it was clear TC was playing dinged up and again some have said they believed he may have had a concussion. Seems I recall some other questionable player/injury situations in the past that some bunny fans have questioned Stig on for letting them play when they maybe shouldn't have. Can any bunny fans confirm the rumor on Rozeboom and TC from last nights game or the latter question about previous player injury situations? If they are true it really brings into question the coaching staffs accountability and regard for player safety. It was clear (at least to me) last night that Rozeboom wasn't his normal self and I say that prior to him looking like he got dinged up in a play that happened where he limped off the field in the second half of the game. Lastly I know people who have had cracked rib(s) and from their comments it's a bitch. Hurts to just breath. I can't even begin to imagine how anyone could play full speed in a tough physical football game with a cracked rib. If it's true I have to hand it to the kid I can't even imagine doing that and would also have to give a big thumbs down to Stig and the coaches for exposing a player to further injury (again if this is true).

Could be, I didn't notice that in the stadium and haven't watched the TV replay. That seemed to he a very dumb play call in that situation given that he had just left the game for the 2nd time with the training staff on the previous drive. I guess you can't pull a senior All-American in a situation like that but if he was that hurt at that point he may have been doing his team more harm than good.

Not sure about Rozeboom but he did look slower than usual. Christon has played awful since USD, could be an injury. That’s supposedly the reason he threw 6 picks against JMU last year.

Our coaches aren’t very smart, I’d of subbed Christon out after that pathetic slide on 3rd down. Throw Kanin Nelson in, we had a great plan of run with Strong than throw it deep when the defense plays up to prevent the run.
To bad we didn’t try that more.

It was that dorky hockey sweater that made him easy to pick out of the crowdBison have yet to lose when I wear it. It also let's the other team know our hockey team is better than their football team.

NDSU pretty much played the whole season without making Easton Stick part of the running game. It's a sign of how good SDSU is that NDSU had to unleash Stick before the title game again.

What is so surprising about it. Win or go home.

He had 85 rushes before this game.

It was win or go home against Montana State and Colgate too... I bet only half of those 85 rush attempts were designed runs (i.e. half were scrambles or sacks) which makes for about 3 designed runs per game. He'd have about 170 designed runs if NDSU ran him at the same pace all season.

I would agree with you that the run playbook for Stick was changed in this game, maybe some if it was on the fly given the RB situation for NDSU in the second half, don't know.

Neither of those teams were a threat defensively. Colgate's stats are padded with cupcake Patriot teams. SDSU is/was legit.

This is why so many get tired of Bison fans. You really are obnoxious. You have a great program, I have a ton of respect for Klieman and a lot of respect for many of your players who do things with class. The fans? Weird, just plain obnoxious and weird.

Good luck. The Bison will roll in Frisco and they should. But when it ends... your athletic department is fast becoming a one trick pony, football. Your other revenue sports are dying. I am very much looking forward to Daum and Company hammering your Men's team. Your Women? Holy crap, it is going to be ugly, real ugly when you face SDSU and USD.

Couple question for SDSU fans. There was a rumor going around that Rozeboom was playing last night with a cracked rib. It was said this happened before last nights game. Also during the game it was clear TC was playing dinged up and again some have said they believed he may have had a concussion. Seems I recall some other questionable player/injury situations in the past that some bunny fans have questioned Stig on for letting them play when they maybe shouldn't have. Can any bunny fans confirm the rumor on Rozeboom and TC from last nights game or the latter question about previous player injury situations? If they are true it really brings into question the coaching staffs accountability and regard for player safety. It was clear (at least to me) last night that Rozeboom wasn't his normal self and I say that prior to him looking like he got dinged up in a play that happened where he limped off the field in the second half of the game. Lastly I know people who have had cracked rib(s) and from their comments it's a bitch. Hurts to just breath. I can't even begin to imagine how anyone could play full speed in a tough physical football game with a cracked rib. If it's true I have to hand it to the kid I can't even imagine doing that and would also have to give a big thumbs down to Stig and the coaches for exposing a player to further injury (again if this is true).


Agree 100% last night watching TC play really begged the question on player safety in my previous post and just how important is it to the SDSU coaching staff???
That’s funny, I haven’t heard any of this beside from bison fans with axes to grind against Stig xcoffeex

But if a player was playing dinged up for the bison he would be touted as a hero. Funny how that **** works.

True about Montana State and Colgate - there was no need to run him in those games, but I still would have preferred to reveal "Running Stick" in the title game rather than the semis. Hopefully we get Dunn, Anderson, and Brooks back healthy for Frisco.

No Thumper you are wrong on the notion that the Bison coaches would put a player in that was hurt. If you can't admit that both Rozeboom and TC really shouldn't have been out there (especially TC with the likely concussion) you are kidding yourself. The question has been asked about concussion protocol at the collegiate level and honestly I don't know how it compares to the pro's but looking at TC and his play before and after the two times he was laying on the turf if you can't admit he was at best dinged up and at worst playing with a concussion I can't help you. Hell the guy only missed one play on both I believe and everyone was touting his accuracy which I questioned when he gets jarred and all the bunny posters came out with charts and graphs about how he was so great. Yesterday I sure didn't see much for accuracy other than one long hope and a prayer which our D got burned on (credit to him and SDSU). I talked to one of my SDSU friends who watched the game down in Webster and he as much said TC in his opinion was playing with a concussion. Either way whether you like it or not it's a valid question on him playing after those hits. Gutsy kid yeah, smart coaching staff for letting him play well everyone can decide that for themselves.

[BisonBacker]

By the way look at our RB's for proof. They could easily have put one of the 3 rb's that got dinged up back in the game but they didn't.

Here's the thing about Basketball, you can suck during the regular season but if you win just enough to make the tourney and win that you get to go to March madness where barring next to a miracle you get bounced in the first game. Basketball is just a distraction of Winter until spring gets here and that's all it is. Teams in the Summit and most other conferences have virtually little to no shot at advancing after the first game and even if they make that they are almost surely to get bounced in the second round.

Why is it that Bison fans get so bent out of shape when someone criticizes their maniacal focus on football (they are good at a few other sports but their top 10 most important sports are #1 Football, #2 Football, #3 Football ... #10 Football) but then turn around and criticize other schools that don't share that maniacal focus? Basketball is a great sport and for many schools it generates more money than football and helps fund other non-revenue sports.

Really. The only NDSU teams that are bad currently are the men’s and women’s BB programs but if these SDSU LOSERS need to crawl into their BB safe spaces, let them. It is all they have at this time in the grief process.

[uni88]

By the way look at our RB's for proof. They could easily have put one of the 3 rb's that got dinged up back in the game but they didn't.

I agree that TC and Rozeboom (especially TC) didn't look right but comparing SDSU playing them to NDSU not playing your RBs is disingenuous. NDSU has a slew of talented backs and your O-Line was creating huge holes so sending in a replacement was not going to be a big letdown. Plus they knew that if they kept it rolling that this wasn't their last game of the season. SDSU knew they needed the best game from both to have a shot and if I was either only unconsciousness would keep me from trying to play. Rozeboom's injury looked to me more like something that would limit you but that you could try to play through. I'm not sure how TC passed the concussion protocol.

While NDSU does have a slew of talented backs, Strong was the best back on the field last night. NDSU's backs had an incredible night but they had a lot more going for them than Strong did. The O-Line was creating huge holes, the SDSU defense isn't as good as NDSU's and also had to worry about Stick's arm and legs. Strong did what he did against one of if not the best defense in FCS and one that knew that he was SDSU's best chance at making a game of it. What he accomplished was beyond impressive.

NDSU was playing 2 deep zone all night to prevent the big play. They gave up the runs because the focus was on the passing game and TC running.

Strong just got lucky because of the defense the Bison were playing. He accomplished nothing on his own and wouldn't even make the depth chart with the Bison. The Bison are perfect, can do absolutely no wrong and nothing is ever their fault. The Rabbits wouldn't even have scored without help from the officials. Stig is an alcoholic, Rozeboom is a dirty player and TC sucks.

Because the connotation that NDSU's focus on football detracts from their support of other sports is ignorant. NDSU sponsors the minimum number of sports required in D1 but every sport they sponsor is fully funded. The recently did built a new $15M indoor track facility and gave a massive $35M facelift to the now-called Sanford Health Athletic Complex that benefits sports like men's/women's basketball and wrestling far more than it benefits football. NDSU offers FCOA to every scholarship athlete in every program and has done so for the last 2 years before this. SDSU doesn't do that. UNI doesn't do that. As far as I know only USD and UND do it in the Summit League/MVFC and I'm not sure either have it fully implemented yet.

Yes, it's true NDSU's women's basketball program is a dumpster fire and the men's program is quickly turning into one but the support is there for those programs to be successful if they can find coaches that know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground. But NDSU's athletic department is doing just fine. The T&F teams dominate the Summit League, the Softball team dominates the Summit League, both golf teams won the SL title last year. In fact NDSU has won the Summit League Commisioner's Cup the last two years despite not having teams in all the SL sponsored sports and football isn't even included in that scoring system.

Thanks for the info Professor. Very informative! The administration is focused on more than just football but I do think that many, many Bison fans think that football is THE sport and all the others are secondary. They don't understand and tend to get all high & mighty when other fanbases don't share their fanaticism.

I didn't think that Hendricks hit on Christion was dirty. I think he dropped his head and didn't see that TC was sliding when he lowered the boom which was stupid. It should have been penalized and probably should have been ejected. It was an uncharacteristically stupid play by a Bison player and he got lucky.

NDSU has some great backs but IMO Strong was better last night. I don't think if you had put any of the NDSU backs on the SDSU side last night that any of them would have had as great of a game as Strong did.

If you want to continue to make excuses please leave this conversation to the adults and go back to the kiddy table (i.e. Bisonville) and take your weak gay jokes with you.

Strong takes every snap. Like most other teams, they use the same RB the whole game. Bisonwinagn is right on the 2 deep defense. Strong benefited from Ss playing deeper to keep the WRs in front of them.

NDSU rotates RBs, along with many other positions, so they are fresh.

Ya, the kid is good no doubt. But saying he is better than BA or any other RB is speculative at best.

Agreed that most NDSU fans are football first fans. The success of the football program also makes some of our fans have unrealistic expectations for the other programs and that's too bad. This year the men's basketball program deserves all the criticism it was getting but from 2012/13 to 2015/16 the men's basketball was winning 20 games a season but they still took a lot of flak because they got held to the same standard as the football program does. That's no excuse for the slide the men's program has been on over the last couple years but it goes to show how having a ridiculously successful and highly visible program will turn into kind of a black hole when it comes to where fans gravitate towards.

As for the hit on Christion I can understand the frustration from the SDSU side and I fully realize I'm biased but he slide way late. Hendricks had already committed to his target (which was low) when Christion started his slide. After watching the replay though I am surprised they didn't throw the flag because I've seen it thrown many times in that situation but I really wish the officials wouldn't bail out QBs for sliding late. Defenders are put into an impossible position when QBs slide late and officiating crews get flag happy.

Good example of a similar play was when Joe Flacco got obliterated by Kiko Alonso a couple years ago. The hit looks ugly and was flagged but if you watch when Alonso commits to his target and Flacco slides I didn't think there was anything dirty about it.

And Christion's slide was even later than Flacco's was in that case.

NDSU has some great backs but IMO Strong was better last night. I don't think if you had put any of the NDSU backs on the SDSU side last night that any of them would have had as great of a game as Strong did.

If you want to continue to make excuses please leave this conversation to the adults and go back to the kiddy table (i.e. Bisonville) and take your weak gay jokes with you.
Most of the big runs Strong had last night we in space. He was running through big holes as well. You really have no idea what a Bison back would have done on the SDSU side of the ball. It is just speculation on your part. I would add that Strong was the best back NDSU faced this year but the best “runner” on the field last night was Stick

Ill State RB is better IMO.

[uni88]

Strong takes every snap. Like most other teams, they use the same RB the whole game. Bisonwinagn is right on the 2 deep defense. Strong benefited from Ss playing deeper to keep the WRs in front of them.

NDSU rotates RBs, along with many other positions, so they are fresh.

Ya, the kid is good no doubt. But saying he is better than BA or any other RB is speculative at best.

Reading comprehension is important. I didn't say he was better then the Bison backs period. In my first post I said that he "was the best back on the field last night" and later I posted that "IMO Strong was better last night. I don't think if you had put any of the NDSU backs on the SDSU side last night that any of them would have had as great of a game as Strong did." That is my opinion (or speculation if you like) and while Bison fans might not like it, it is a valid opinion. Yes the Bison defensive game plan might have had something to do with it but that is speculative as well. The Bison have a great defense and what Strong did against them is an incredible accomplishment regardless of their formations and game plan. The Bison also have a slew of incredibly talented backs, I liked Strong better last night and I probably like him better overall. No reason to get all butthurt because I'm not worshipping at the altar of the Bison backfield.

[POD Knows]

Ill State RB is better IMO.
It is close. I think the Bison we more focused on stopping him in the ISU game and he still put up decent numbers i wasnt as impressed with his running back “skills” as I was with Strong. Strong is quicker and cuts
better. Plus Strong put up big numbers against the Bison in a playoff game which is a whole different deal

[uni88]

Agreed that most NDSU fans are football first fans. The success of the football program also makes some of our fans have unrealistic expectations for the other programs and that's too bad. This year the men's basketball program deserves all the criticism it was getting but from 2012/13 to 2015/16 the men's basketball was winning 20 games a season but they still took a lot of flak because they got held to the same standard as the football program does. That's no excuse for the slide the men's program has been on over the last couple years but it goes to show how having a ridiculously successful and highly visible program will turn into kind of a black hole when it comes to where fans gravitate towards.

And Christion's slide was even later than Flacco's was in that case.

When I watched the play live, I thought it was a cheap shot but i changed my mind after seeing the replay. Christion's slide was way late and Hendricks had already committed to his target so it wasn't dirty. The problem is that once Christion slides he's defenseless and you can't hit him like that. Hendricks dropped his head (poor technique) and couldn't see that Christion was sliding in time to pull up. If he'd used proper technique he could have seen that Christion was sliding and attempted to pull up enough to avoid the flag that should have been thrown. He got lucky.

[uni88]

Because the connotation that NDSU's focus on football detracts from their support of other sports is ignorant. NDSU sponsors the minimum number of sports required in D1 but every sport they sponsor is fully funded. The recently did built a new $15M indoor track facility and gave a massive $35M facelift to the now-called Sanford Health Athletic Complex that benefits sports like men's/women's basketball and wrestling far more than it benefits football. NDSU offers FCOA to every scholarship athlete in every program and has done so for the last 2 years before this. SDSU doesn't do that. UNI doesn't do that. As far as I know only USD and UND do it in the Summit League/MVFC and I'm not sure either have it fully implemented yet.

Yes, it's true NDSU's women's basketball program is a dumpster fire and the men's program is quickly turning into one but the support is there for those programs to be successful if they can find coaches that know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground. But NDSU's athletic department is doing just fine. The T&F teams dominate the Summit League, the Softball team dominates the Summit League, both golf teams won the SL title last year. In fact NDSU has won the Summit League Commisioner's Cup the last two years despite not having teams in all the SL sponsored sports and football isn't even included in that scoring system.

jacksfan29 is the definition of butthurt... why else bring up basketball in a football semifinal game thread discussion or act like Hendricks hit on Christion was blatantly dirty. You start flinging **** like that don't be surprised when it gets flung back at you.

And congratulations on winning the Summit League Commisioner's Cup the last two years! That's another accomplishment to be proud of!

Do you really want to go there? So you're saying he should have done something to avoid something that didn't happen. That's a new one I've not seen argued yet. Congratulations you have taken the art of Bull**** to another level.

How do you only get handled a little bit, or is that along the same lines as barely getting your ass kicked?

Maybe I can simplify it for you:
1) First and foremost Christion was defenseless so Hendricks should have been flagged and probably ejected. He was lucky he wasn't.
2) His technique was bad - he dropped his head and couldn't see that Christion went into a slide.

Bull**** or not being lucky doesn't change my opinion that his technique was bad and he should have done it differently. Bison players are typically very solid technique-wise so I was surprised he dropped his head.

I was at the game and watched the replay of the game when I got home. Your opinion means nothing. The opinion of the referee's at the game is what matters. Clearly they didn't see it the way you saw it. To try to make an issue out of something that didn't happen and then claim if player A had done something that they didn't do a fictitious flag that wasn't thrown wouldn't get thrown. That is what you are saying and if you can't see how foolish trying to make an argument out of something that didn't happen just because you think it should have is taking BS to another level.

Let me make it clear for you so if you don't understand my point of how foolish your argument sounds lets say that the defensive player actually did get flagged by the refs for what you wanted him to be flagged for. Then to make the argument he should have done something different to avoid the penalty makes sense. Clearly that didn't happen.

Kapeesh?

[X-Factor]

I agree that TC and Rozeboom (especially TC) didn't look right but comparing SDSU playing them to NDSU not playing your RBs is disingenuous. NDSU has a slew of talented backs and your O-Line was creating huge holes so sending in a replacement was not going to be a big letdown. Plus they knew that if they kept it rolling that this wasn't their last game of the season. SDSU knew they needed the best game from both to have a shot and if I was either only unconsciousness would keep me from trying to play. Rozeboom's injury looked to me more like something that would limit you but that you could try to play through. I'm not sure how TC passed the concussion protocol.

While NDSU does have a slew of talented backs, Strong was the best back on the field last night. NDSU's backs had an incredible night but they had a lot more going for them than Strong did. The O-Line was creating huge holes, the SDSU defense isn't as good as NDSU's and also had to worry about Stick's arm and legs. Strong did what he did against one of if not the best defense in FCS and one that knew that he was SDSU's best chance at making a game of it. What he accomplished was beyond impressive.

This is not accurate at all. How the defenses were playing against each respective offense was completely different. NDSU could have shut down Strong if the focus was on the run. It obviously was not. Deep zone was played all night at expense of the run game. Who made the tackles for NDSU in run support tells the story

[Lorne_Malvo]

NDSU has some great backs but IMO Strong was better last night. I don't think if you had put any of the NDSU backs on the SDSU side last night that any of them would have had as great of a game as Strong did.

Strong had 20 carries for net 135 yards. 1 TD. 6.75 ypc.
Anderson had 9 carries for net 79 yards. 2 TDs. 8.77 ypc.
Wilson had 2 carries for net 86 yards. 43 ypc.
Cofield had 6 carries for 77 net yards. 12.83 ypc.

Statistics disagree with your premise. Statistically, Wilson was the best RB last night.
Strong's yards per carry was actually the worst.

[BisonFanAnn]

Easton Stick had 147 yards on 16 carries (9.2 ypc) and 3 TDs.

Strong looks like a good rb. Time will tell how good he is to become. The Bison have a bunch of good backs. Who is the best..I don't know and it's not worth arguing about.
Hendricks hit on TC was bang bang, not flagrant or targeting, flag worthy, maybe. The ankle twist a few years ago was not flagrant.
