[Grizzled Jack]

SDSU recovers on NDSU 18....alright!!!xsmiley_wix

[Grizzled Jack]

Bison hold but FG makes it 23-10.

[sfjackster]

SDSU only gets a FG out of it. 23-10 SDSU

[The Sheriff]

Given NDSU's ability to provide a comback (see Poly, UC Davis last year), those FG's need to be TD's for SDSU.

[Tod]

Given NDSU's ability to provide a comback (see Poly, UC Davis last year), those FG's need to be TD's for SDSU.

I was thinking the same thing.

[sfjackster]

Yeah we have left a lot of points out there. Roehl didnt play on the last possesion. something with a big cut.
NDSU punts and jacks ball on the 31

[Grizzled Jack]

Why does the SDSU tracker say 20-13 rather than 23-10?-- Edit: Now it's right, was that my brain malfunctioning or was it screwed up for a minute?

[sfjackster]

SDSU fumble recovered by the Bison at midfield

[Grizzled Jack]

Bison drive down to Jacks 13

[igo4uni]

SDSU fumble recovered by the Bison at midfield

Can't do that and expect to win.

[The Sheriff]

What was announced at that news conference at SDSU this morning? I've read so much about it this morning but haven't seen anything more about it.

Sounds pretty nice to me. Congrats!!! SDSU is doing it right by keeping football outside where it belongs. Can't wait to see the finished product (yep, that confident that we will one day meet again)

Looks like the best game of the year with two of the top in the FCS going wire to wire! Gotta cheer for the Bunnies though...haven't had our @ss handed to us by the Bison yet...so the poiints go to the Bunnies...very balanced and great on defense! Is this game on TV??:)

That link is the same as the last, and doesn't work.

Mine's working. Overloaded, maybe? For a school with a technological bent the technology can be pretty bad here. Haven't invested in internet audio/video but the Jacks boards are often full of cursing fans who've laid out the bucks without getting the product.

[RabidRabbit]

3rd and 4 at 37.

EDIT PS-- Mine's back, did you try reloading?

[igo4uni]

good game!!

[GrizDen]

Sounds like a nice drive by SDSU. Will the Bison's record stay unblemished in the L column?

[turfdoc]

Score, went back 3 pages and saw 29-25 is that still it?

I don't even get "service unavailable" but rather it acts as if the page doesn't exist at all. No biggie, but the time we figure it out, this thing will be over.

Congrats to SDSU. Best of luck to both teams next year as they move to the Gateway.

Awesome job! Grats to the Jackrabbits for hanging on to what sounded like a great game!xthumbsupx

WOW!!! GREAT GAME!!!1

[The Sheriff]

Also should note that this doesn't take anything away from what NDSU has accomplished this season either. Undefeated against the FBS (especially the win against Minnesota, Sellout crowds, comback victories all create a season to remember for Bison fans.

[Tod]

Well, I wouldn't have believed it. Congrats to my alma mater! Now officially a football school. Now let's get men's basketball on track.

Griz play the Jackrabbits tonight! xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Congrats SDSU. I hate to brag, but I called it. xthumbsupx

[RabidRabbit]

NDSU won most of the categories, but lost 5 turnovers, and final score!

[RabidRabbit]

Griz play the Jackrabbits tonight! xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Congrats SDSU. I hate to brag, but I called it. xthumbsupx

In Bball. A key reason that didn't shift FB game to later.

[Grizzled Jack]

JACKS WIN

29-24, FIRST CONFERENCE TITLE SINCE 1963!!!!!xpeacex

I was a freshman in 1963 and you could see the wheels starting to come off because Ralph Ginn couldn't adopt to platoon football. Totally different feeling this time. We (and NDSU) are going to be well positioned in the Gateway. xcoolx

[Go Bison]

Congrats the the SDSU Jacks in winning the game and the Great West Conference! Great game! It was a battle. Turnovers and special teams killed the Bison. Got to give credit to the Jacks coach and players.

Next year playing in the Gateway will be great.

Congrats Rabbits! I knew you were for real! xthumbsupx

Congrats to SDSU. It was a dissapointing end to a great season, but at least the Bison (and the Jacks) have a chance to earn a playoff spot next year.

[BisonBacker]

Congratulations to the Jacks

[McNeese_beat]

Great job Jackrabbits. I hate to say I was pulling against NDSU, but I didn't want them to end up No. 1 in ANY poll going into the playoffs.

Now UNI is the clear No. 1 and the national champion will be a no-brainer top pick in all post-season polls.

[89rabbit]

Great West Champions!!!! xprost2x xhypedx xprost2x

[placidlakegriz]

Congrats the the SDSU Jacks in winning the game and the Great West Conference! Great game! It was a battle. Turnovers and special teams killed the Bison. Got to give credit to the Jacks coach and players.

Next year playing in the Gateway will be great.

I sure wish you guys were playing in the BSC!!!xmadx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Wow Jacks way to rise to the occasion! This is turning into quite the FCS rivalry...

[Zoo]

Great job South Dakota State on beating an excellent North Dakota State team.

[HI54UNI]

Congrats to SDSU on the win. Congrats to both teams on a great season.

See you in the Gateway next year! xthumbsupx

[Grizaholic17]

WOW, congrats to the jackrabbits! GWFC should be a doozy next year. Excited to possibly see all of you in the playoffs next year!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!

[Drblankstare]

Cant wait to see both teams in the Gateway next year.

Congrats to the Jacks

Tough way for the Bison to end the season, but I couldnt have ask for a better two season.

Go UNI, Go SIU

[GrizzlyEdd]

Must have been one helluva game... at least for the Jackrabbits... Excellent season NDSU. Looking forward to having both teams playoff eligible next year...


AND NOW THERE ARE TWO..... xnodxxnodx

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Good job SDSU...glad both teams are playoff eligable next year

[AZBison]

Like a punch to the face... Good game Jacks.

[BearsCountry]

Sounded like a great game in the Dakotas. Looking forward next year to you guys joining the Gateway, the best FCS conference.

[footballer23]

It truly was a punch in the face. NDSU just came out flat again... and couldn't quite recover. It was a great, smashmouth Great West game. The Bunnies came to play and played great. It was perfect weather and a great atmosphere. The only complaint I have is with the refs. I'm not leaning on them as an excuse, because NDSU was truly outplayed, but I would love to know how they sleep at night after some of the calls and no-calls (most, if not all, against the Bison). Good luck to the Great West in the future and I can't wait for our games to count.

[GrizFoo]

Great job Jacks. I had a feeling you would pull the upset with the Bison squeeking out one last week. Congrats on a great year to NDSU, and doing the FCS proud by taking down TWO BS teams.
I am glad we won't have a sniff of a paper champion, thanks SDSU.

[TheBisonator]

Congratulations Rabbits. You guys freaking deserved this one.

[Gil Dobie]

Congrats Jacks!, 2007 Great West Champs. xthumbsupx

[appfan2008]
