NDSU/Nichols St

[Hansel]

kickoff shortly, don't know what to expect from the Colonels, they rushed for over 400 yards and should have beat Indiana, then whipped up on Cheyney (as any self respecting IAA would do)

NDSU returns the opening kick to midfield

[Hansel]

both teams go 3 and out, NDSU returns the punt to the NSU 20, I can see why Mont St wouldn't kick to our returner

Good job on the game thread Hansel. Way to carry the whole thread on your shoulders. :)

gotta keep my post total up somehow, the game ended up being closer than some would expect, did you watch the webcast?

[GABison]

Yes I did. I shelled out the money for the gobison "35 seconds behind live" feed, but the audio was staticey. Worked well to listen to the Bisonzone audio, work at my desk and if a good play happened, I could maximize the screen and watch it. :D I think the live feed is great. I could probably live with static, if I hadn't already bought the Bisonzone.

Very good game. I was more than a little nervous after Nicholls State scored their second TD to bring it within 4 pts. Reminded me of Montana State's last drive. Their offense looked unstoppable.

I was fortunate enough to be able to tailgate with some of the Nicholls State parents. Great bunch of people. I wish the players, parents, and fans of Nicholls state the best, even moreso off the football field.

After watching that game, I now fully understand how they ammased 400+ rushing yards on a Big 10 team. Wow, those guys can really go.

Another nice win by the Bison. Congratulations.
