We ended up needing a couple extra seats for the Nicholls game and bought a few in the end zone section 7, those are pretty good seats. There really isn't a bad seat in the building.
I'd expect a decent showing of Bobcat fans. Eastern MT has quite a few MSU fans and Fargo is about the same distance from there as Bozeman is. Add in alumni that live in the Dakotas (for whatever reason) and MSP. Hell, I'd probably make the trek over myself, but trips to Bozeman on back to back weekends, plus X-mas travel next week, followed by a trip to MSP for the Vikings-Bears game (the ladyfriend/parents knocked my 40th B-day gift outta the park!) the weekend after is just too damn much travel.

That'll be reflected in the score so not expecting another 52-10 beat down, I think the line is about right and 31-14 is pretty accurate prediction.
It looks like both lines are playing better for MSU compared to last year.
I want to see if MSU tries to do what Ill State did. Crash the DEs and LBs a lot....Redbirds did it a lot. If they do, I hope Roehl adjusts and not just crash it in the middle for no gain.
Hopefully the Bison use the TEs in this game. I think they were only targeted once and that one was almost picked off.
MSU runs a different type of defense compared to the Redbirds and I think the Bison should be able to move the ball on them.

If your seats are where I think they are that would have been section 17 or 16....

Yep, sorry, it was the sections to the south of 19, I stand corrected.

Well, we would outnumber anybody at a true neutral site, hell, we get more people to go to Frisco than we do in our own stadium. Also, I simply do not get the fact that most people on here, that aren't Bison fans, seem to think that the Bison somehow have trouble winning on the road. That is demonstrably false and a lot of the time it seems like the Bison play better on the road.
Re: Semifinal: Montana State @ North Dakota State
We sit in Section 8 Row C, that is on the South End Zone (left side of the TV screen); lots of students seats were empty, lots of seating for player parents were empty; top 5 or 6 rows for Sections 7 , 8, 9, were empty. If BisonNation does NOT get their act together it will be a very unfriendly home game. Only games I missed since 2000 was all of 2002 season (deployed for 911) and last year 2 games when I had my knee replaced. I do not want to hear about I can't tickets anymore excuses.

Re: Semifinal: Montana State @ North Dakota State
NDSU just announced the sell out... but unclaimed season tickets will be going on sale once that deadline passes so Montana State fans should keep that in mind.

It's almost like Bison fans have gotten so spoiled that many of us think the real playoffs don't start until the semis.
